  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION
    Publication number: 20130144180
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatic detection of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) are disclosed. The methods and systems use time-varying coherence functions (TVCF) to detect AF. The TVCF is estimated by the multiplication of two time-varying transfer functions (TVTFs).

  • Oocyte Spindle-Associated Factors Improve Somatic Cell Cloning
    Publication number: 20130102838
    Abstract: The invention pertains to the discovery that the presence of oocyte spindle associated factors in an enucleated oocyte improves oocyte quality and subsequently nuclear transfer. In particular, it was discovered that maintaining oocyte spindle factors in the oocyte after enucleation improves oocyte quality for use in nuclear transfer methodology.
