20150290374 | Methods and Systems for Controlling a Blood Pump - The present invention generally relates to ventricular assist device power monitoring and conservation. In some embodiments, a pump controller may transition the pump to operate in a power-saving operational mode when a power source and/or a power source condition indicate a need to conserve power. In some embodiments, when the power source is an emergency battery and when the emergency battery has powered the pump for an extended period of time, the controller may signal the pump to operate in the power saving-operational mode. In some embodiments, when a low power hazard condition is triggered by signals from one or more external power sources, the controller may signal the pump to transition to the power-saving operational mode if the condition lasts for an extended period of time. In some embodiments, the controller may trigger the power-saving mode when the emergency backup battery is below a voltage threshold. | 10-15-2015 |

20130046649 | Method and System for Providing A Hybrid Descending-Price Auction - A method and system is provided for facilitating a hybrid descending-price auction. Items are offered at an initial price, which is then decreased over time at a dynamically variable rate until the price falls to a reserve price. Participants may choose to end the auction at any time by placing a bid at the current price, with the item being awarded to the first participant to bid the current price. Participants may also choose to place a stop bid for a value lower than the current price but greater than the reserve price, such that if the price decreases to the stop bid value, the item will be awarded to that participant. However, if another participant places a bid or a stop bid valued higher than the previous stop bid, the subsequent participant will be awarded the item. | 02-21-2013 |
