20110087304 | Method of vagal stimulation to treat patients suffering from congestive heart failure - An improved method is presented for evaluating the physiological status of a patient diagnosed with congestive heart failure and treating the patient accordingly to alleviate the congestive heart failure. As part of the method, the thoracic or cardiac impedance and ventilation of the particular patient are derived solely from an input consisting of cardiac signals (EKG) generated by electrical energy of the patient's heart as the heart is undergoing its cardiac cycle with a dynamic impedance obtained by subjecting the EKG to alternately high and low input impedances. The derived thoracic impedance and ventilation are used to control the pattern and rate at which stimulating electrical pulses are applied to the patient's vagus nerve by an implanted stimulator, in a manner to deliver therapy to the patient's heart by adjusting the heart rate to a prescribed target rate for alleviating the congestive heart failure. A change in state of the patient from one of rest to one of physical exercise and vice versa detected from the derived impedance and ventilation is accommodated by modifying the vagal stimulation therapy to adjust the patient's heart rate to a new target rate accordingly, while continuing to deliver the therapy for alleviating the congestive heart failure. A closed loop system is preferably employed for the control and adjustment functions. | 04-14-2011 |
20110190642 | Method of detecting sleep apnea and treatment thereof - A method is presented for evaluating whether an episode of sleep apnea is occurring in a patient suffering from chronic sleep apnea disorder, for delivery of appropriate therapy. The method, performed by an implantable device, includes sensing the patient's EKG signal and using electrical energy generated by the heart to power subsequent signal processing. This signal is applied as the sole input to a differential signal processing circuit for passage through both a high impedance path and a substantially lower impedance path and amplification of the difference in magnitude between the resulting two signals, to determine changes in the patient's thoracic impedance. Based on such changes, the presence or absence of patient ventilation is detected, to enable an assessment of whether an episode of sleep apnea is occurring. An actual episode of sleep apnea is deemed to have occurred if lack of ventilation exceeds a predetermined interval of time between otherwise regular respiratory cycles. If sleep apnea is indicated, the appropriate therapy is delivered by the device to induce ventilation and halt the apnea episode. | 08-04-2011 |
20130197376 | Detecting and treatment of sleep apnea - A device is presented for evaluating whether an episode of sleep apnea is occurring in a patient suffering from chronic sleep apnea disorder, for delivery of appropriate therapy. The device includes circuitry adapted to respond to a cardiac signal generated by the heart. Switching circuitry diverts passage of the heart signal through both a high impedance path and a substantially lower impedance path, and a differential amplifier processes the resulting signal pairs to ascertain the difference in magnitude between the two signals of each pair. An analyzer thereof determines changes in the patient's ventilation, from which inordinately reduced patient ventilation is detected to assess possible occurrence of an episode of sleep apnea. If the analyzer denotes change of ventilation between otherwise regular respiratory cycles, an actual episode of sleep apnea is indicated. A stimulus generator responds to such indication to generate an appropriate electrical therapy for delivery to a preselected location in the patient's body to induce ventilation so as to terminate the apnea episode. | 08-01-2013 |

The flow of power in the drive train is interrupted in a suitable driving situation. In order for the rolling or the coasting function to be exploited as efficiently as possible, and still be terminated safely and comfortably, the flow of power in the drive train is restored depending on a selectable difference in speed (Δv_F_T) between the current vehicle speed (v_F) and a speed limit (v_T) set by the driving speed control device. | 08-30-2012 |
20130096792 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE DRIVING MODE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method of controlling the driving mode of a motor vehicle, having a largely automated drive-train including a drive motor, a transmission and a separator clutch arranged between the motor and transmission, such that while driving, if certain operating conditions exist and a speed profile calculated with reference to topographical data and vehicle parameters for a road section lying ahead is suitable, the drive-train is disengaged and driving continues in a coasting mode until the occurrence of a termination signal. To enable coasting operation, the calculated speed profile for the case of immediate opening of the drive-train is determined continually at equidistant successive travel points along the driving stretch and is, in each case, evaluated in relation to lower and upper speed limits. Coasting is only enabled if, for a specified minimum number of successive travel points, the evaluation result is in each case positive. | 04-18-2013 |
