  • Policies and controls for building and validating database software in a shared management environment
    Patent number: 11966880
    Abstract: Techniques for building, validating, and utilizing custom database software in a shared management environment are described. A database customization service allows users to provide database installation files as part of a configuration to generate a custom database engine version. The creation of custom database engine versions may be governed by policy, and the database customization service may provide recommendations for creating custom database engine versions according to various criteria. The custom database engine version can be built, and its functionality and correctness verified. Users may launch database instances using these custom database engine versions that can be managed under a shared management scheme where both users and the database customization service can perform host-level management.

  • Method and apparatus for detecting prospenity for ventricular fibrillation using action potential curves
    Patent number: 6094593
    Abstract: A method for detecting a heart disorder comprises examination of a phase-plane plot (PPP) of a patient electrocardiogram (EKG). The PPP's degree of deterministic chaos may be measured by a processor. Analysis of the PPP may indicate a propensity for fibrillation that is, indicate both the risk of fibrillation and its actual onset (cases where risk is 100 percent). A second method for detecting a heart disorder comprises examination of a frequency-domain transform (such as an FFT) of a patient EKG. An automatic defibrillating device may comprise means for delivering a variable shock, the size of which is determined at least in part by the FFT's peak energy. A method for detecting drug toxicity comprises examination of a parameter time constant for an action-potential duration (APD) restitution curve which is constructed for the patient.
