Medical probes for creating and diagnosing circumferential lesions within or around the ostium of a vessel

The present inventions provide assemblies, probes, and methods for creating circumferential lesions in tissue, e.g., the tissue within or around the ostium of a vessel. An ablation probe with an ablative structure can be placed in contact within or around the ostium of the vessel. A diagnostic probe can be introduced through a lumen within the ablation probe and inserted into the vessel. The energy can be provided to the ablative structure to create a circumferential lesion within or around the ostium of the vessel, and the diagnostic structure can be used to diagnose the tissue to determine whether the circumferential lesion can be properly created.

Internet-based system for collecting and analyzing data before, during, and after a cardiovascular procedure

The present invention provides an improved, Internet-based system that seamlessly collects cardiovascular data from a patient before, during, and after a procedure for EP or an ID. During an EP procedure, the system collects information describing the patient's response to PES and the ablation process, ECG waveforms and their various features, HR and other vital signs, HR variability, cardiac arrhythmias, patient demographics, and patient outcomes. Once these data are collected, the system stores them on an Internet-accessible computer system that can deploy a collection of user-selected and custom-developed algorithms. Before and after the procedure, the system also integrates with body-worn and / or programmers that interrogate implanted devices to collect similar data while the patient is either ambulatory, or in a clinic associated with the hospital. A data-collection / storage module, featuring database interface, stores physiological and procedural information measured from the patient.

Tone mapping of high dynamic range images

Tone mapping a high dynamic range (HDR) image is performed by obtaining a log-norm luminance component based on a normalized logarithm of the HDR image. The log-norm luminance component is flattened (tone-compressed) using incrementally-spaced adaptation levels, which are increasingly blurrier representations of the log-norm luminance component, weighted by a diminishing factor. Visual cues are restored by injecting a proportion of values of the log-norm luminance component, applying histogram tail clipping, and applying a sigmoid curve mapping, to create a restored luminance component. A tone-compressed image is obtained by mapping luminance of the HDR image using the restored luminance component and adjusting saturation of the mapped HDR image.

The client module (114) also includes a filtering module (314) having a file information cache (410) describing characteristics of files. A file scanning module (316) can scan files to determine whether the files are infected by viruses. The antivirus client module (114) queries the file information cache (410) using the information describing characteristics of files to identify the set of files that are susceptible to a given virus. The file scanning module (316) scans the files in the set.

Decoding apparatus using tool information for constructing a decoding algorithm

A coding and decoding apparatus is constructed so that the coding side transmits coded data together with identifying information for identifying the device of decoding the coded data, and the decoding side is capable of storing a number of decoding schemes so as to perform decoding based on one of the previously stored schemes. The apparatus further has devices for storing the received tools and tool-correspondent information which numerically represents the capacities of the tools so that it can make a comparison between the decoding capacity and the processing capacities of the tools to determine the possibility of the operations of the received tools. Further, a set of the tools are hierarchized so that the coded data produced by the n-ranked tool can be decoded by the (n+1)-ranked tool. Alternatively, the tools are defined in a hierarchical manner so that the decoding tools installed in the decoding apparatus will be able to assure the minimum quality and the requested decoding process can be performed by the received decoding tool. Further, the identification code ofthe decoding scheme used can be transmitted as required so that the decoding scheme can be expanded by transmitting the differential information from the basic decoding scheme.
