摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for analysis and correlation of phenotypic and genotypic information for a high throughput sample on a cell by cell basis. Cells are isolated and sequentially analyzed for phenotypic information and genotypic information which is then correlated. Methods for correlating the phenotype-genotype information of a sample population can be performed on a continuous flow sample within a microfluidic channel network or alternatively on a sample preloaded into a nano-well array chip. The methods for performing the phenotype-genotype analysis and correlation are scalable for samples numbering in the hundreds of cells to thousands of cells up to the tens and hundreds of thousand cells.

Cardiac monitoring and/or stimulation methods and systems that provide one or more of monitoring, diagnosing, defibrillation, and pacing. Cardiac signal separation is employed to detect, monitor, track, and/or trend closed-loop cardiac resynchronization therapy using cardiac activation sequence information. Devices and methods involve sensing a plurality of composite cardiac signals using a plurality of electrodes, the electrodes configured for implantation in a patient. A source separation is performed using the sensed plurality of composite cardiac signals, producing one or more cardiac signal vectors associated with all or a portion of one or more cardiac activation sequences. A cardiac resynchronization therapy is adjusted using one or both of the one or more cardiac signal vectors and the signals associated with the one or more cardiac signal vectors. In further embodiments, the cardiac resynchronization therapy may be initiated, terminated, or one or more parameters of the resynchronization therapy may be altered.

An implantable medical device detects a tachyarrhythmia of a heart. During the detected tachyarrhythmia, the device determines a local myocardial impedance. Using the local myocardial impedance, the device determines whether there is sufficient perfusion to the heart. The device can then either deliver a less aggressive device therapy in response to the detected tachyarrhythmia when there is sufficient perfusion to the heart, or deliver a more aggressive device therapy in response to the detected tachyarrhythmia when there is insufficient perfusion to the heart. The perfusion information can also be used to alter tachyarrhythmia detection or classification.
摘要:
Systems and methods for diagnosing one or more respiration distress manifestations by implantably recognizing their occurrence and evaluating information about the same to provide an indication of present or impending worsening heart failure are discussed. Using information produced by an implantable respiration sensor circuit and an implantable physiological sensor circuit, such as at least one of a physical activity sensor circuit or a posture sensor circuit, an implantable or external processor circuit may detect a respiration disturbance and an associated subsequent arousal from stable state occurrence and thereafter evaluate over time arousal from stable state occurrences to provide the indication of present or impending worsening heart failure. In one example, information about a fluid level within a subject is used in determining the indication of worsening heart failure. In various examples, a regimen is initiated or adjusted in response to the indication of present or impending worsening heart failure.

This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for sensing a pulmonary artery pressure (“PAP”) signal of a pulmonary artery (“PA”) and computing an indication of a reduction of blood supply to at least a portion of a heart using information from the PAP signal. The reduction of blood supply to at least a portion of the heart can be detected using a PAP signal characteristic or measurement, using a change in the PAP, using an interval between multiple PAP signal features, using a mitral valve performance, or using information from the PAP and information from a different physiological signal, including a cardiac signal, a heart sound signal, right ventricular pressure signal, a left ventricular pressure signal, a blood pressure signal, and an oxygen saturation signal.

Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods of migrating sessions between computer systems. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a session migration method comprising managing, by a session manager, a session between a client and a first server using network address translation, managing, by a first server, a context for the client, wherein the context is related to the session, determining that the session is to be moved from the first server, identifying, by the session manager, a second server other than the first server to manage the context, sending the context from the first server to the second server; managing, by the session manager, the session between the client and the second server using network address translation, and managing, by the second server, the context.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for exchanging messages between an email client and a unified messaging system. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a unified messaging system (UMS) (102) having a controller (108) that manages operations of a communications interface (104) that communicates with communication devices in a communication system (100). The controller can be programmed to receive (304) from an email client operating in a select one of the communication devices an identification, validate (308) the identification according to subscriber information in a directory, establish (312) a secure communications link with the email client upon validating the identification, identify (314) a message server from the subscriber information, authenticate (316) the email client at the message server, and enable (318) communications between the email client and the message server over the secure communications link. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Systems and methods for finding the position and shape of an animal using video are disclosed. The invention includes a system with a video camera coupled to a computer in which the computer is configured to automatically provide animal segmentation and identification, animal motion tracking (for moving animals), animal posture classification, and behavior identification. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may use background subtraction for animal identification and tracking, and a combination of decision tree classification and rule-based classification for posture and behavior identification. Thus, the present invention is capable of automatically monitoring a video image to identify, track and classify the actions of various animals and the animal's movements within the image. The image may be provided in real time or from storage.
