6516372, Feb 4, 2003

Filed:

Sep 29, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/407426

Inventors:

Russell Jay Anderson - Lakeville MN
Martin M. Deneroff - Palo Alto CA
Stephen Whitney - Sunnyvale CA

Assignee:

Silicon Graphics, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

710300

Abstract:

A distributed shared memory multiprocessor computer system is provided, which has a number of processors and is divided into partitions. Each partition has within it one or more of the processors, and may also have memory or cache and other related hardware. Although each partition works together and communicates with other partitions to share computational load, the partitions each are independently operable and execute an independent copy of the operating system. The partitions comprise additional features to enable removal of a partition from the operating computer system, and to enable insertion of hardware into the operating computer system.

US Classification:

607 44, 607 17, 600547, 600301

Abstract:

A method of determining one or more physiological parameter of a patient by providing a plurality of implantable electrodes proximate a blood vessel of the patient, applying a measurement signal through the plurality of electrodes, the measurement signal having a known parameter, obtaining a resultant signal through the plurality of electrodes, the resultant signal having a resultant parameter, calculating vascular impedance based on the measurement signal and the resultant signal, and calculating a physiological parameter based on the vascular impedance. In some embodiments, the physiological parameter is utilized to modify a therapy signal controlling therapy delivered to the patient.

International Classification:

A61N 1/365

US Classification:

607 17

Abstract:

A method for allowing cardiac signals to be sensed and pacing pulse vectors to be delivered between two or more electrodes. In one embodiment, cardiac signals are sensed and pacing pulse vectors are delivered between at least one of a first left ventricular electrode and a second left ventricular electrode. Alternatively, cardiac signals are sensed and pacing pulse vectors are delivered between different combinations of the first and second left ventricular electrodes and a first supraventricular electrode. In addition, cardiac signals are sensed and pacing pulse vectors are delivered between different combinations of the first and second left ventricular electrode, the first supraventricular electrode and a conductive housing. In an additional embodiment, a first right ventricular electrode is used to sense cardiac signals and provide pacing pulses with different combinations of the first and second left ventricular electrodes, the first supraventricular electrode and the housing.

International Classification:

A61N 136

US Classification:

128419PG

Abstract:

A switched capacitor ventricular sense amplifier for an implantable pulse generator having unique control of the switching clock for minimization of transients during the period just preceding, during and following an atrial paced event. The timing is modified to discontinue switching during this period. This ensures that transients occurring as a result of functionally disconnecting and subsequently reconnecting the sensing lead with the sense amplifier are not propagated within the switched capacitor bandpass filter. An alternative approach is to increase the clocking rate during the blanked period to ensure that the transients created by the atrial pace or by disconnecting and reconnecting the sensing lead are rapidly processed by the switched capacitor bandpass filter and that processing is completed shortly following the atrial paced event. This alternative approach requires a gate at the sense amplifier output to disable propagation of any transients processed.

International Classification:

H02J 50/12
H02J 50/00

Abstract:

A resonator for use in a wireless power transfer system is provided. The resonator includes a core including a front surface, a back surface, and an annular sidewall extending between the front surface and the back surface, wherein an annular groove is defined in the front surface and surrounds a post, and wherein a cavity is defined in the back surface, the post and the cavity aligned with a longitudinal axis of the core. The resonator further includes a coil element disposed within the annular groove.
