  • Publication number: 20230414155
    Abstract: A method includes receiving—by a first computing system—electrocardiogram (ECG) data and metadata associated with the ECG data, where the metadata includes an initial cardiac event classification and an initial beat classification for beats occurring during a first event associated with the initial cardiac event classification. The method further includes causing the ECG data to be displayed in a user interface (UI) and receiving a command, via the UI, to change the initial beat classifications to subsequent beat classifications. The method also includes automatically modifying, by the first computing system, the initial cardiac event classification to a subsequent cardiac event classification based on the subsequent beat classifications.

  • Publication number: 20230421197
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method comprises: receiving, in a controller of a wireless device, at least one of a first interrupt or a second interrupt, where: the first interrupt is to indicate that a receive radio frequency (RF) signal received in a front end circuit of the wireless device is overloading at least a low noise amplifier (LNA) of the front end circuit; and the second interrupt is to indicate that the receive RF signal is overloading at least a passive network of a system on chip (SoC) of the wireless device; and in response to the at least one of the first interrupt or the second interrupt, reconfiguring the front end circuit from a first mode into a second mode, where a relative order of a receiver RF signal processing path is different in the first mode than in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11846251
    Abstract: The inventors introduce the Borissov-Markusic Cycle as the new rocket engine cycle to solve the problem of low efficient open gas generator or tap-off gas generator cycles used to supply power to turbopump. A liquid rocket engine directs turbopump exhaust from a turbopump to a booster engine having an intake to accept ambient airflow, such as a variation of a ramjet, scramjet or dual mode ram scramjet engine. The turbopump is powered by combustion gases, such as from a gas generator or a tap-off manifold interfaced with the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber, and applies energy of the combustion gases to pump fuel and/or liquid oxygen to the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber. The combustion gases have a fuel-rich composition that includes unconsumed fuel from incomplete oxidation so that, upon injection into the combustion chamber of the booster engine, oxidation by ambient air of the unconsumed fuel releases energy to generate thrust with the booster engine.
