The method comprises receiving electrocardiographic signals of the patient from a plurality of leads over a plurality of heart beats, averaging the electrocardiographic signals to produce an averaged electrocardiographic signal, and determining deflections in the averaged electrocardiographic signal, wherein each deflection has an amplitude and a duration. The method further comprises determining a significance of each deflection based on whether the amplitude of that deflection exceeds a threshold, and estimating a risk of arrhythmia in the patient based on at least one of a number, the amplitudes, and the durations of the significant deflections within a portion of the averaged electrocardiographic signal. | 10-18-2012 |
20140364754 | RMS Electrocardiography System and Method - A system for assessing a cardiac condition of a subject includes a sensor configured to record a plurality N of electrocardiographic signals from the subject to generate an ECG (electrocardiogram). The system further includes a processor configured to compute an RMS (root-mean-square) magnitude function from the recorded signals, and to measure from the RMS magnitude function an RMS variable that contains information about the cardiac condition of the subject. The ECG may be a standard 12-lead clinical ECG. The measured RMS variables may include RMS T-wave width, RMS RT recovery time, and RMS QT interval. | 12-11-2014 |

20110024051 | Automated lamination stacking system for a transformer core former - An automated steel lamination stacking system for a transformer core. A computer controlled robot arm with a machine vision system locates each of a series of laminations formed by a core former. A hand with a pair of fingers disposed on the end of the robot arm sequentially grasps each of the laminations and transfers each lamination to a forming table which receives and shapes each lamination into a stack to form the desired transformer core. As the empty hand returns to retrieve the next lamination, an extended arm is activated to square the stack. If the preset number of laminations has been stacked and a desired weight has been reached, then the process is complete. Otherwise the stacking process continues. Because the laminations grow in size as the core is built, the stacking system adjusts the position of the fingers to grasp each lamination. | 02-03-2011 |

20140066937 | PATIENT SPECIFIC IMPLANT POSITIONING - Instrument that is made to match the perimeter shape of a Patient Specific Knee Implant (PSKI) with features for locating holes in the distal femur such that the posts or lugs in the femoral implant locate the femoral implant centered medial-laterally within an acceptable degree of precision to prevent overhang of either the medial or lateral side of the femoral implant over the perimeter of the distal femur bone resections. Patient specific implant technology, in which a three-dimensional model of at least a portion of a bone is accessed and a three-dimensional solution volume is defined based on resection cuts used in fitting an implant on the portion of the bone. An outline representation of at least a portion of an outer surface of a periphery of the resultant bone volume is determined and the outline representation is used in one or more operations related to instrument matching. | 03-06-2014 |
