摘要:
A driving circuit for regulating current in a light source using a tracking component. The tracking component detects the voltage difference between an input node in the input stage and an output node in the output stage. The input stage is connected to a current source and includes an input transistor. The output stage is connected to the light source and includes an output transistor. The tracking component generates an output that controls the input and output transistors based on the voltage difference between the input node and the output node so that the voltage at the input node tracks the voltage at the output node. By using the tracking component, the LED driver can achieve accurate current control through one output transistor instead of cascaded transistors, resulting in lower output operating voltage and reduced power dissipation of the LED driver. Further, the tracking component is intermittently operated or shared across different channels to reduce energy consumption of the LED driver.

Automated insurance policy form generation and completion includes electronically receiving one or more forms and receiving an indication that a particular form is an overflow form for a particular base form. The relationship between the overflow form and base form is recorded based on the received indication and the fields on the base form and overflow form are tagged according to a naming convention. The number of overflow forms to use is determined based on an amount of received data and by using the naming convention to determine a number of available fields on the base form and overflow forms.

A system and method for automatically analyzing heart failure in a patient, including collecting physiological data from a patient using at least a first sensor and a second sensor to collect two or more sensor measurements, and calculating a first composite value based on at least a first sensor measurement wherein the first composite value is an indication of a likelihood that the patient's heart failure status has changed. If the first composite value is outside of a first specified range, then a second composite value is calculated based on at least a second sensor measurement, wherein the second composite value is an indication of a likelihood that the patient's heart failure status has changed. If the second composite value is outside of a second specified range, then an alert of change in heart failure status is generated.

A system comprising an implantable medical device (IMD) includes an implantable heart sound sensor to produce an electrical signal representative of at least one heart sound. The heart sound is associated with mechanical activity of a patient's heart. Additionally, the IMD includes a heart sound sensor interface circuit coupled to the heart sound sensor to produce a heart sound signal, and a signal analyzer circuit coupled to the heart sound sensor interface circuit. The signal analyzer circuit measures a baseline heart sound signal, and deems that an ischemic event has occurred using, among other things, a measured subsequent change in the heart sound signal from the established baseline heart sound signal.

摘要:
The health state of a subject is automatically evaluated or predicted using at least one implantable device. In varying examples, the health state is determined by sensing or receiving information about at least one physiological process having a circadian rhythm whose presence, absence, or baseline change is associated with impending disease, and comparing such rhythm to baseline circadian rhythm prediction criteria. Other chronobiological rhythms beside circadian may also be used. The baseline prediction criteria may be derived using one or more past physiological process observation of the subject or population of subjects in a non-disease health state. The prediction processing may be performed by the at least one implantable device or by an external device in communication with the implantable device. Systems and methods for invoking a therapy in response to the health state, such as to prevent or minimize the consequences of predicted impending heart failure, are also discussed.

A method and a core router for implementing forward delay for bursts are disclosed. The core router configured with an FDL performs proactive delay processing for the burst to be overlapped after predicting that the burst will be overlapped on the link to be protected, thus reducing the probability of burst conflict on the downstream link to be protected. After finding that burst conflict will occur on the output port of the core router at a future moment, the core router sends a burst delay request to the upstream core router, requesting the upstream core router that has an FDL and the delay capability to delay the burst. Therefore, the FDL configured in the network is brought into full play, and the probability of burst conflict is reduced.

A method for controlling burst assembly, device, and communication equipment thereof are provided. In the present invention, an assembly time and a predetermined time threshold are compared to determine a load change in a cache queue. If the load is increased or decreased suddenly, a length threshold is directly increased or decreased. If the load is to be increased, the length threshold is randomly increased according to a certain probability. If the load is to be decreased, the length threshold is randomly decreased according to a certain probability. If the load is in a normal state, the length threshold is maintained. Therefore, the length threshold is dynamically adjusted with the load change. The method and device provided by the present invention ensure an end-to-end (E2E) delay of the services and optimize the network performance.

A method of epitaxial growth of a material on a crystalline substrate includes selecting a substrate having a crystal plane that includes a plurality of terraces with step risers that join adjacent terraces. Each terrace of the plurality or terraces presents a lattice constant that substantially matches a lattice constant of the material, and each step riser presents a step height and offset that is consistent with portions of the material nucleating on adjacent terraces being in substantial crystalline match at the step riser. The method also includes preparing a substrate by exposing the crystal plane; and epitaxially growing the material on the substrate such that the portions of the material nucleating on adjacent terraces merge into a single crystal lattice without defects at the step risers.
