20130261687 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTING PACING VECTORS BASED ON SITE OF LATEST ACTIVATION FOR USE WITH IMPLANTABLE CARDIAC RHYTHM MANAGEMENT DEVICES - Techniques are provided for use with an implantable cardiac stimulation device equipped with a multi-pole left ventricular (LV) lead and a right ventricular (RV) lead for identifying suitable pacing vectors. In one example, RV-LV delay times are measured while using different electrodes of the LV lead as cathodes for sensing. The LV electrode having the longest RV-LV delay time is identified and LV capture thresholds and diaphragmatic stimulation thresholds are measured for pacing vectors that employ that LV electrode as a cathode. Assuming at least one vector employing the selected LV electrode is found to have acceptable thresholds, the vector is selected for use in delivering pacing therapy with the selected LV electrode. If none of the pacing vectors employing the selected LV electrode has acceptable thresholds, another LV electrode is selected and the procedure is repeated. Examples with a multi-pole RV lead are also described. | 10-03-2013 |
20130338704 | CARDIAC ACCESS METHODS AND APPARATUS - A chamber or vasculature of a heart may be accessed via the pericardial space of the heart. Initially, the pericardial space may be accessed via a transmyocardial approach or a subxiphoid approach. A lead or other implantable apparatus may thus be routed into the pericardial space, through myocardial tissue and into the chamber or vasculature. The lead or other apparatus may be used to sense activity in or provide therapy to the heart. | 12-19-2013 |

20090319997 | PRECONDITION RULES FOR STATIC VERIFICATION OF CODE - A verification engine for verifying compliance of a module of computer-executable instructions to various specifications or guidelines can utilize precondition rules to obtain information about the module so as to select appropriate rules with which the module will be verified. The precondition rules can inform an evaluation tool, which can obtain the specified information about the module. A preprocessor can then evaluate conditional statements and select one or more rules or environment modules based on the results of the evaluation of the precondition rules. Multiple levels of dependent precondition rules can be evaluated with a drill-down approach, where each dependency chain is evaluated until a terminal level, or with a layered approach, where all terminal level precondition rules are evaluated followed by precondition rules of increasingly higher levels. | 12-24-2009 |
20100186003 | Per Group Verification - Various embodiments provide per group verification techniques in which code may be verified against one or more rules on a group by group basis. In one or more embodiments relationships between portions of a module to be verified can be defined. By being aware of relationships between various code portions, various embodiments can divide a module into related groups and perform verification on the basis of the groups. Multiple groups can be derived based at least in part upon the relationships. Each group can then be verified separately for compliance with one or more rules. Verification results can be output for each of the groups. | 07-22-2010 |
20100275186 | SEGMENTATION FOR STATIC ANALYSIS - Various embodiments provide techniques to segment program code that may be the subject of static analysis. In one or more embodiments, an algorithm is applied to an abstract representation of the program code to derive segments for the program code. In at least some embodiments, multiple segments can be derived based at least in part upon of one or more “boxed” portions of the program code that are designated to remain intact within the segments. Each segment can then be subjected individually to static analysis to verify compliance with one or more prescribed behaviors. Verification results can be output for each individual segment and the individual results can be combined to obtain results for the program code overall. | 10-28-2010 |

20090157776 | REPARTITIONING LIVE DATA - A data set typically does not stagnate and remain the same size over time. The capabilities of hardware (e.g., servers and storage devices) also do not stagnate and remain the same. A date set is often repartitioned to accommodate changes in size of the data set and/or changes in hardware capability. Hundreds or thousands of writes may be performed on the data set (e.g., database, directory, etc.) every second. So, even a few seconds of downtime are unacceptable. Instead of taking the data set offline, the data set can be repartitioned while still allowing access to the data set (“repartitiong live data”). Live data can be repartitioned by establishing update or replication queues for the new partitions while servicing write requests and read requests with the old partitions. After the data has been migrated, the update queues are drained to ensure data integrity. | 06-18-2009 |

20080301258 | Referential Integrity Across a Distributed Directory - A system and method for autonomically maintaining group referential integrity across a distributed directory. When a server receives an operation request from a client regarding an entry in the distributed directory, the server sends a request to the particular server containing the entry to be modified that instructs the server to modify the entry, but without performing a referential integrity check. The server then determines whether the request returned successfully. If so, the server sends a request to each server in the network to perform the requested operation on all group references for the entry, but without actually performing the requested operation on the entry itself. If all of these requests return successfully, the server notifies the requesting client that the requested operation has been performed. | 12-04-2008 |
20100061233 | FLOW CONTROL IN A DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing requests. Responsive to receiving a request from a client, a determination is made as to whether a connection within a pool of connections has a set of outstanding requests for the client to handle a previous request from the same client. Responsive to a determination that the connection has any outstanding request, a determination is made as to whether a set of requests queued for the connection is equal to or exceeds a threshold. Responsive to a determination that the set of outstanding requests is equal to or exceeds the threshold, subsequent requests from the client are unprocessed until the set of outstanding requests becomes less than the threshold. | 03-11-2010 |
