| 20120004699 | IDENTIFYING A LEAD RELATED CONDITION BASED ON MOTION-BASED LEAD IMPEDANCE FLUCTUATIONS - Techniques for determining whether a lead related condition exists based on a correlation between a parameter indicative of impedance of a lead and a parameter indicative of motion of the lead. In some examples, the techniques include generating an electrical signal that is indicative of impedance of the lead, generating an electrical signal that is indicative of motion of the lead, and monitoring the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the electrical signals in order to identify a correlation. In some examples, if a lead related condition is identified, an alert is provided or a sensing or therapy modification is suggested. | 01-05-2012 |

| 20110237972 | NONINVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF UTERINE EMG PROPAGATION AND POWER SPECTRUM FREQUENCY TO PREDICT TRUE PRETERM LABOR AND DELIVERY - A method operable to more accurately predict true preterm labor and delivery is provided. Trans-abdominal uterine electromyography (EMG) and power spectrum (PS) analysis can identify electrical signals characteristic of labor at term and preterm with relatively high positive and negative predictive values. The use of propagation velocity (PV) of uterine EMG signals may either be done independently or in conjunction with PS analysis. This method involves applying at least two pairs of electrodes to a maternal abdomen. The time associated with measuring a voltage spike of a propagating myometrial wave traveling through the pairs of electrodes allows the amount of time required for the propagating myometrial wave to transverse the distance between electrodes to be determined. With this information a propagation velocity (PV) of the propagating myometrial wave may be determined. This PV may be compared to a labor positive predictive value (PPV). A favorable comparison indicates an increased probability of true preterm labor and delivery. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110251512 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING AND DISPLAYING ABDOMINAL EMG SIGNALS - A system and method for acquiring and processing abdominal EMG signals from a maternal patient to indicate when a maternal patient should push to progress the labor toward delivery. Raw abdominal EMG signals are acquired and processed in a central unit designed to isolate the patient and any internal circuitry from electrical shock. The central unit has a circuit board that amplifies and filters the EMG signal, then transmits the signal to an A/D converter, after which the digitized signal is transmitted to a computer for further processing and subsequent display of a signal representative of abdominal activity. The system may also acquire and process uterine EMG signals that can be evaluated in conjunction with the abdominal EMG signals. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110270118 | MEASURING AND DISPLAYING THE PROPAGATION VELOCITY OF UTERINE ACTION POTENTIALS TO DETERMINE THE ONSET OF LABOR - A method and system to examine and measure the propagation velocity of electrical activity in pregnant patients, labor and non-labor patients at term and preterm, and non-pregnant patients, thereby providing valuable information regarding the state of a patient's uterus. The method can include obtaining uterine EMG signals from a series electrodes, processing the raw uterine EMG signal in a signal processing module and assessing the temporal interval between adjacent electrodes. The propagation velocity can then be estimated by averaging the time required for the uterine EMG signal to traverse a distance between adjacent electrodes. | 11-03-2011 |
