A technique is provided for detecting episodes of cardiac ischemia based on an examination of the total energy of T-waves. Since cardiac ischemia is often a precursor to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or ventricular fibrillation (VF), the technique thereby provides a method for predicting the possible onset of AMI or VF. Briefly, the technique integrates internal electrical cardiac signals occurring during T-waves and then compares the result against a running average. If the result exceeds the average by some predetermined amount, ischemia is thereby detected and a warning signal is provided to the patient. The maximum slope of the T-wave is also exploited. Techniques are also set forth herein for reliably detecting T-waves, which help prevent P-waves from being misinterpreted as T-waves on unipolar sensing channels. The T-wave detection technique may be used in conjunction with ischemia detection or for other purposes.

The present invention is a server-based protocol for improving translation performance for cases where a large number of documents are generated in a source language context but their controversies are adjudicated in a different language context. The protocol is intended to improve terminology consistency, offset the effects of contextual shift on perceived facts in translations, and improve task-tracking order. If the protocol is used by well trained and motivated document reviewers in a collaborative and harmonic environment, it can reduce unnecessary translations, improve translation accuracy and legibility, minimize the needs for amendments, control translation costs, and help the client significantly improve its litigation position.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for aligning clock domains over an asynchronous network between a source controlled by a first clock and a destination controlled by a second clock. The predicted delay is estimated for transmitting packets between a source and destination over the network. The time-stamped synchronization packets are sent to the destination, each time-stamped synchronization packet carries timing information based on a master clock at the source. A set of synchronization packets are received at the destination to create a set of data points, and the set of data points is weighted so that synchronization packets exhibiting a delay further from the expected delay are accorded less weight than synchronization packets exhibiting a delay closer to the expected delay. The expected delay is updated to create a current delay estimate based on the set of data points taking into account the different weighting of the data points. These steps are continually repeated on new sets of data points created from newly received synchronization packets using the current delay estimate for the expected delay. And a clock domain at the destination is continually aligned with a clock domain at the source based on the current delay estimate for packets traversing the network between the source and destination.

Control commands in a system and method for autonomously driving a vehicle or partially autonomously driving a vehicle are generated on the basis of an environment representation, which is generated from sensor signal of a sensing means. The environment representation where ambiguous objects are identified is such that information obtained from the driver of the vehicle are added. The system generates an information request. Additional information is extracted and accumulated in the environment representation map. Traffic is then determined and suitable control signals for the vehicles are generated. In case no ambiguous objects are included in the environment representation but the system is not capable of deciding on traffic, the driver is asked to disambiguate the situation or to instruct on dealing with the traffic.
