  • Patent number: 12251566
    Abstract: A ventricular pacemaker is configured to determine a ventricular rate interval by determining at least one ventricular event interval between two consecutive ventricular events and determine a rate smoothing ventricular pacing interval based on the ventricular rate interval. The pacemaker is further configured to detect an atrial event from a sensor signal and deliver a ventricular pacing pulse in response to detecting the atrial event from the sensor signal. The pacemaker may start the rate smoothing ventricular pacing interval to schedule a next pacing pulse to be delivered upon expiration of the rate smoothing ventricular pacing interval.

  • Publication number: 20250082940
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for monitoring cardiac arrhythmias and delivering electrical stimulation therapy using a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (SICD) and a leadless pacing device (LPD) are described. For example, the SICD may detect a tachyarrhythmia within a first electrical signal from a heart and determine, based on the tachyarrhythmia, to deliver anti-tachyarrhythmia shock therapy to the patient to treat the detected arrhythmia. The LPD may receive communication from the SICD requesting the LPD deliver anti-tachycardia pacing to the heart and determine, based on a second electrical signal from the heart sensed by the LPD, whether to deliver anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) to the heart. In this manner, the SICD and LPD may communicate to coordinate ATP and/or cardioversion/defibrillation therapy. In another example, the LPD may be configured to deliver post-shock pacing after detecting delivery of anti-tachyarrhythmia shock therapy.

  • Publication number: 20250082113
    Abstract: A positive locating patch system and method, and associated structure, is disclosed for maintaining a positive location between respective outer covers and inner bladders which combine to create an inflatable structure or object. The locking patches are respectively attached to inner surfaces of an outer cover for an inflatable that are positioned in an opposed manner to cooperating patches located on the outer surfaces of the inner bladder. Once these respective opposed patches are associated by face-to-face contact, the respective outer cover and inner bladder of the inflatable maintain an approximate alignment such that inflation and deflation of the inflatable are readily achieved owing to consistent access to the bladder gas valve inside the outer cover.

  • Publication number: 20250083049
    Abstract: A method and system provide the ability to build a game world. A story is obtained that provides a textual narrative of a sequence of events. Plot facilities and a set of constraints are extracted from the story. Each of the plot facilities is a conceptual location where an event happens in the story. Each constraint defines a spatial relation between plot facilities. A map is generated based on the set of constraints by: generating a terrain of two dimensional (2D) polygons that is each associated with a biome type, and assigning each plot facility to a point on the terrain. The assigning complies with a maximum number of constraints and utilizes reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize positions of the points.

  • Publication number: 20250085059
    Abstract: A heat exchanger system, in particular a vacuum spray boiler, cools a hot fluid by spraying a coolant onto chambers carrying the hot fluid. This process may be performed in i) a vacuum, as in space, ii) atmospheric pressure, as on a launch pad of a space vehicle, or iii) any pressure therebetween. The heat exchanger system may incorporate a plate-fin heat exchanger. A coolant spray apparatus, used for spraying the coolant, and the heat exchanger are integrated within a vacuum chamber. The coolant, subsequent to changing to a vapor state after being sprayed onto the heat exchanger, may be exhausted to outside the system.

  • Patent number: 12249333
    Abstract: A system is provided for modifying how an output is presented via a multi-device synchronous configuration based on detecting a speech characteristic in the user input. For example, if the user whispers a request, then the system may temporarily modify how the responsive output is presented to the user via multiple devices. In one example, the system may lower the volume on all devices presented the output. In another example, the system may present the output via a single device rather than multiple devices. The system may also determine to operate in an alternate output mode based on certain non-audio data.
