摘要： Techniques are presented for dynamically controlling an audio crossfade from a first audio track to a second audio track. The first audio track may be decoded and buffered to a first buffer. A user may select a second audio track at some point during playback of the first audio track. The second audio track may be decoded, and a processor may access the decoded second audio track and the buffered first audio track and mix the two audio tracks. The mixed audio track may be inserted in the same first buffer near or at the read pointer of the first buffer, such that latency between the user selection and the crossfade into the selected audio track may be minimized. The insertion of the mixed audio track may depend on various factors, including the type of audio file and/or the decoder type used to decode the second audio track.

摘要： A method and apparatus for optimizing the performance of a rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker. A pacemaker is provided which is capable of obtaining and storing information about a patient's cardiac function and about a pacemaker's operation during a brief exercise interval. The data collected includes information about the number of cardiac events during each two-second interval of the exercise, as well as the percentage of paced events during each two-second interval. Data reflecting the output of the pacemaker's activity sensor output is also collected for each two second interval of the test. In addition, AV interval data for each cardiac cycle during the test is collected, this data being distinguished according to whether it reflects atrial-pace-to-ventricular-sense or atrial-sense-to-ventricular-sense AV intervals. The disclosed pacemaker is operable in conjunction with an external programming/processing unit, which receives the stored data after the exercise test is concluded. The data is processed and presented on the programmer screen in a manner which enables the clinician to readily assimilate it and observe the effects of hypothetical changes in rate-response programming in the pacemaker. Additionally, the clinician is able to observe the programmed AV rate adaption profiles in conjunction with the patient's actual AV performance, and compare this data with an AV profile from a typical healthy heart.

摘要： A cardiac pacemaker improves battery longevity by automatically providing a safe threshold and an associated pulse width leading to minimum current drain. The pacemaker stores a matrix of current drain characteristics for all of the possible pulse width-voltage pairs, and a revisable strength-duration curve for a patient. Either periodically or as a result of a loss-of-capture episode--whichever occurs first--the pacemaker calculates for each possible pulse width, a new threshold value based upon a measured rheobase and a derived chronaxie. Each threshold is multiplied by a predetermined safety margin. The pacemaker chooses as the pacing stimulation signal, the voltage-pulse width pair having the lowest associated current drain, and satisfying the desired safety margin.

摘要： A programmer is disclosed for programming with encoded signals selected parameters and modes of operation for the control of a pacing generator including a memory for receiving and storing the encoded signals for the control of its operation. The programmer includes a keyboard for receiving upon selected of its keys the designation of the parameter or the mode of operation, as well as the value of the parameter to be so encoded, a display for indicating the mode or parameter to be programmed as well as the value thereof, a transmitter for encoding and transmitting signals via an antenna or coil to the pacing generator which has a receiving coil therein for detecting the transmitted signal. In accordance with the teachings of this invention, there is included a secondary coil inductively coupled to the antenna to sense the generation of signals therein. The secondary coil is coupled to an amplitude detection circuit for determining whether the amplitude of the detected signal in the secondary coil is equal to or greater than a predetermined minimum level. If so, a signal is generated indicating that a successful transmission of the program parameter or mode of operation was made from the primary coil to the pacing generator.

摘要： A method and apparatus is disclosed for programming a threshold mode of operation into a pacing generator whereby the minimum level of energy of the stimulating pulse as generated by the pacing generator is determined. First, the original level of energy of the stimulating pulses is determined when this mode is commenced. The original energy level and in particular the pulse width is decremented by a predetermined incremental amount, and an encoded signal indicative of the new reduced pulse width is transmitted to the pacing generator, whereby the pacing generator applies the pulses of the reduced pulse width to the patient's heart. Further, there is included means for counting the number of pulses of reduced pulse width and after the application of a given number of pulses by the pacing generator to the patient's heart, the programming apparatus programs a new energy level decremented from the previously programmed value to be then transmitted to the pacing generator.
