Filed:

Feb 24, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/064793

Inventors:

Peter Nicholas Jordan - New York NY, US
David Jon Christini - Brooklyn NY, US

Assignee:

Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. - Ithaca NY

International Classification:

A61N 1/00

US Classification:

607 9

Abstract:

A real-time detection technique and a real-time, adaptive, model-independent control technique for detecting and stabilizing pathological physiological rhythms, such as repolarization alternans, on the basis of the rate dependence of excitable tissue such as cardiac and neuronal tissue is presented. Unlike other control methods, which require a number of beats to locate the period-1 fixed point, the technique locates the period-1 fixed point almost instantaneously, rapidly eliminating any higher-period or aperiodic rhythms.

Abstract:

An innovative but easy to use on-line guide is provided to provide the user of a multiple channel television broadcast system a wealth of programming information in a simple format that is easy to understand. The guide enables the user to easily select a particular program to watch. In particular, when the guide is presented to the user, the guide covers only a portion of the actual television screen or display. The remaining portion of the television screen continues to broadcast the audio and video of the currently selected program. As a user scans through the guide and moves the pointer from one station to another, the system responds by automatically tuning to the channel pointed to by the pointer and provides the audio and displays the video in the portion of the screen not covered by the guide. Thus, the user can easily get an idea of the broadcast on a particular station without exiting the guide and without expressly selecting a particular channel. Furthermore, a written description of the program currently broadcasted on a station that the cursor currently points to is also shown.
