What is Speculative Poetry?
Speculative poetry is poetry which falls within the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural horror, plus some related genres such as magic realism, metafiction, and fabulation. It is not easy to give precise definitions, partly because many of these genres are framed in term of fiction rather than poetry.
A good starting point is "About Science Fiction Poetry" by Suzette Haden Elgin, the founder of the Science Fiction Poetry Association. Despite its title, this article is applicable all forms of speculative poetry.
Tim Jones, editor of Issue 2, had a go at defining science fiction poetry on his blog, in two parts (These blog posts date from 2009, and the Voyagers anthology has since been published. These posts do refer specifically to science fiction poetry, rather than the broader field of speculative poetry.):
What Is the Science Fiction Poetry Association (SFPA)?
As the SFPA says on its website at sfpoetry.com, "The Science Fiction Poetry Association was founded in 1978 to bring together poets and readers interested in science fiction poetry. What is sf poetry? You know what they say about definitions—everybody has one. To be sure, it is poetry (we'll leave that definition to you), but it's poetry with some element of speculation—usually science fiction, fantasy, or horror. Some folks include surrealism, some straight science."
See the SFPA site for lots more information—and please consider joining.

City Burn Ban Continues
Nearly two weeks after a burn ban was put into place in La Crosse, the fire department says it will remain. Despite a little bit of rain over the week-end, the fire department says the burn ban will have to stay in place because of the excessively dry conditions in the city. All of La Crosse county is in a zone of Very High fire danger, according to the DNR, while counties just to the south and east are considered to be in an Extreme fire danger zone. The La Crosse burn ban includes fireworks and outdoor fire pits while charcoal and gas grills are still allowed for cooking.
Police Get Help in Arrest of Bold Burglars
Those burglars are getting bold. La Crosse cops say they've nailed a couple of thugs who let themselves in to an apartment on 11th street in between the UWL campus and downtown early Sunday morning. While there were people inside. Apparently, the guys who lived in the apartment were sitting out on the deck eating pizza at about one in the morning, looked into the apartment and saw two guys rummaging around inside. Same guys came out onto the deck and demanded some of the pizza. A confrontation turned violent quickly. Cops wound up arresting 23 year-old Anthony Lee and 17 year-old Bret Clark with the help of some good samaritans who happened by at about the time a single officer was wrestling with the two thugs. Clark and Lee face a number of charges.

Bar Refaeli engaged
Supermodel Bar Refaeli is reportedly engaged to wed her businessman boyfriend.
Adi Ezra, 40, is said to have proposed to the 29-year-old beauty during a romantic vacation in the Caribbean and she said yes, according to Israeli news outlets.
The couple has been dating for the past year after meeting through mutual friends.
The supermodel has yet to comment on the news, but if it's true, the marriage will be Refaeli's second – she previously wed a family friend in 2007 to avoid compulsory military service in her native Israel for single men and women over the age of 18. They subsequently divorced.
Refaeli dated actor Leonardio DiCaprio on and off from 2005 before calling it quits for good in 2011.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney engaged
Pop superstar Lady Gaga has confirmed reports of her engagement to actor Taylor Kinney after he proposed to her on Valentine's Day.
The singer has been dating Kinney since 2011, after he played her onscreen love interest in her "You and I" video, and now they are preparing to exchange vows.
The actor popped the question to Gaga on Saturday, and they then celebrated at his future in-laws' restaurant, Joanne Trattoria, in New York City.
Gaga was all smiles as she stepped out in the Big Apple on Sunday, when she was snapped wrapped up in a big purple fur coat, carefully hiding her new ring as she placed her right hand over her left.
After the news of her engagement broke online on Monday, the star took to her Instagram.com page and shared a photo of her heart-shaped diamond ring with fans.
She captioned the black-and-white snap, "He gave me his heart on Valentine's Day, and I said YES!"
The singer recently admitted she would say yes if Kinney did propose, telling Howard Stern, "He is the right guy. How do we know? It's this feeling…"
Michael Franti engaged
Hip-hop/reggae star Michael Franti is engaged to his longtime girlfriend Sara Agah.
The musician took to Facebook.com on Tuesday and revealed he popped the question to nurse and jewelry designer Agah during a recent vacation to Bali.
Sharing the news with his followers, Franti wrote, "Sara and I are engaged to be married!!! I wrote Life Is Better With You three years ago as a song I hoped to be played at our future wedding and made this video for Sara using clips I shot of her on my iPhone over the past three years. At a surprise dinner I planned in Bali, I played her the song on acoustic guitar and then showed her the video.
"Needless to say she was quite moved and luckily for me after getting down on one knee and asking officially, she said "yes!" Thank you all who have been so kind to us over the years!!!"
Franti also shared a video of his proposal on his Facebook page.
Franti, who has two sons from a previous relationship, and Agah have been dating for six years.
Pregnant Zoey Deschanel reportedly engaged
Actress/singer Zoey Deschanel has reportedly become engaged to her producer boyfriend Jacob Pechenik just days after announcing her pregnancy.
The "New Girl" star revealed she is expecting her first child last week, and now Us Weekly magazine reports the parents-to-be are set to wed.
Representatives for the couple have yet to comment on the engagement news.
Deschanel, who is due to give birth to the baby this summer, began dating Pechenik last year after meeting on the set of forthcoming movie "Rock the Kasbah."
Her sister, fellow TV star Emily, is also pregnant. The "Bones" actress revealed she is expecting her second child with actor/writer David Hornsby last month.
Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed reportedly engaged
Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are reportedly engaged.
"The Vampire Diaries" actor and "Twilight" actress started dating six months ago, shortly after she split from her husband, singer Paul McDonald, early last year.
The animal-loving acting couple moved in together last summer, and Reed and Somerhalder have since adopted horses Eagle and Millie, as well as a kitten named Sohalia.
Reed and McDonald finalized their divorce earlier this month. Somerhalder previously dated his "The Vampire Diaries" co-star Nina Dobrev.
The actors have yet to confirm the engagement news.
Topher Grace is engaged
Actor Topher Grace is preparing to say farewell to his single years after becoming engaged to girlfriend Ashley Hinshaw.
The actress was spotted with a shining diamond on her left ring finger during the Art of Elysium Heaven Gala in Santa Monica, California on Saturday, and a source tells Us Weekly magazine Grace proposed earlier this month.
The insider adds, "She was totally in shock and so happy."
The former "That 70s Show" star previously dated TV personality Ivanka Trump and actress Teresa Palmer.
Liv Tyler sparks engagement rumors
Pregnant actress Liv Tyler has sparked speculation she is engaged to Dave Gardner by sporting a ring on her left hand.
Tyler went public with her romance with the sports agent in August last year amid rumors they had been dating for months.
In September, she confirmed she is pregnant with her second child, and now the former model has set tongues wagging again by wearing a ring on the third finger of her left hand during a day out in London on Friday.
Tyler has a 10-year-old son, Milo, from a previous relationship with British musician Royston Langdon.
Former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach engaged
Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach is engaged to his model girlfriend Suzanne Le.
The rocker popped the question to the former Hawaiian Tropic beauty on Sunday, which also marked her 42nd birthday.
Bach, who has been dating Le since October, took to Instagram.com to announce his happy news and posted a photo of himself alongside his new fiancee, as she showed off her new sparkling ring on her left ring finger.
He added the caption, "I just wanted you to have a nice birthday. But I only had time to get you one present. I hope your birthday was a happy one baby!!! Because your birthday was the best day of MY life.
"There is a mysterious light in this picture. No, that is not a bright iridescent white tear running down my left cheek. I believe the orb to be a reflection from the ring signifying our love for one another. Our commitment. Trust. Values. Faith. In each other. In our family. And in our future."
Le has two children from previous relationships. Meanwhile, Bach has three kids with ex-wife Maria Bierk, from whom he split in 2010 after 18 years of marriage. He was in an on-again-off-again relationship with model Minnie Gupta from 2010 to 2012.

Benedict Cumberbatch gushes about engagement
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of support following his engagement announcement.
The star revealed he had proposed to theater director/actress Sophie Hunter in a formal notice in Britain's The Times newspaper last week, and told People magazine at the premiere of his new film, "The Imitation Game," "I wanted to have some control over the message. I don't Tweet or do social media. It's too impersonal. I would rather do what we did, and have people find it, and not see us from some s—, grainy footage staring lovingly into each others eyes with a ring on someone's finger. I wanted it to be ours."
He want on to say, "We're so happy, and we just wanted to let everyone know how happy we are. One of the most incredible things about getting engaged, which we had no idea would be coming back our way, is the amount of love that just comes flooding back. I thought it was just all about us declaring that we were in love and getting married, but actually it's the world going, 'We love you too!' It's amazing. Family, friends, the world… it's amazing."
Benedict Cumberbatch engaged
British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is engaged to marry theater director/actress Sophie Hunter.
The "Sherlock" star was first rumored to be dating the Brit in September after they were pictured watching the French Open tennis tournament together in June.
According to reports at the time, the 38-year-old actor first met Hunter when they worked on the 2009 film "Burlesque Fairytales."
Their engagement was officially announced in Britain's The Times newspaper on Wednesday.
The announcement reads, "Mr BT. Cumberbatch and Miss S.I. Hunter: The engagement is announced between Benedict, son of Wanda and Timothy Cumberbatch of London, and Sophie, daughter of Katharine Hunter of Edinburgh and Charles Hunter of London."

21yo Stephanie Loses a Bet and has to get Completely Naked
Stephanie (21yo) is the Softball Team Captain for a University in San Diego (we're not allowed to say which one, but perhaps you already know). In September 2010 there was a big night out, both the football team and the softball team were there having a great time. Both teams are very competitive, Stephanie and the football captain had a bet about the coming results of their teams. Stephanie thought her softball team would be a lot more successful than the footballers. If the football team lost, the football captain would have to do the full monty in front of all the softball girls in their dorms, but if Stephanie lost she would have to go along to the upcoming San Diego Playboy Casting Calls and take it all off. Whichever captain lost the bet would end up totally humiliated. Fortunately the softball team had a run of bad results and so Stephanie lost the bet. Not only is Stephanie good at Sport, but she's also a Good Sport. She was honest with the photographers and said that she wouldn't normally be there, but that she had lost the best with the footballers, she thought the photographers might go easy on her, but instead they used this as an excuse for a Proper Lost Bet Humiliation and made sure this Casting Call would be even more revealing than all of the others. The photographers knew the that football team would be totally delighted. In fact, may people at the University know about this and Playboy have told us that as soon as these HI RES Revealing Photos and High Quality Video went live on the 21st January 2011 a huge number of people from the Univesity joined Playboy site straight away. We show you what we can below and to see Stephanie's full humiliation you can go to the Playboy Cyber Club Members Area > Casting Calls > San Diego and treat yourself to this girl who you wouldn't normally have got to see, Click HERE to go there or on any of the photos below. Stephanie will be more careful about taking up drunken bets in the future.

During the first half of the 20-lap race Thompson and EngstrГ¶m fought for the position, while NykjГҰrвҖҷs SEAT LeГіn TDI was confortably in the lead.
Eventually EngstrГ¶m was able to create a small gap and crossed the line in second, four seconds behind NykjГҰr.
Peter Rikli recovered from the back of the grid up to fifth, but Ibrahim Okyay managed to overtake him on lap 16 to be classified in fifth position behind Wolfgang Treml.
A spin at the last turn cost Italian driver Massimo Zanin the eighth position and pole position on the reverse grid for Race 2 that was inherited by Aytaç Biter.
Carsten Seifert emerged victorious in the Super 1600 class from Jens Löhnig and Sergey Krylov.
The Super Production race was decided by the driversвҖҷ mistakes. Vojislav Lekić took the lead at the start but lost it to Fabio Fabiani after spinning on lap 2. However the Serbian managed to re-take first place and soon afterwards Fabiani spun and lost ground.
These results meant that ThompsonвҖҷs leading margin in the Super 2000 classification was cut to 8 points ahead of NykjГҰr and EngstrГ¶m.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Please help me to identifi this font
Whoops, typo! That first sentence should have read: "Looks Luc(as) de Grootesque".
Can anybody compare it with Corpid Bold Italic, please? My LucasFonts catalogue is at home.
Sorry I'm so useless these days, but somebody took off with our copy of the FontBook at work, so my access to printed specimens is somewhat limited.
It is Parisine Plus Bold Italic by JFP
Yves, stop to think always to Thesis and his, there is others Sans on the earth ;-)
Excusez-moi for jumping to conclusions too quickly, ma
Yves, just go to my Alphabet section, then Free specimen page, and fill out the form, you will receive a catalog with everything.
Sorry, to not be distributed by FontShop distributor and any others, its by choice.
take my other post as joke indeed.
Hey, I'm not connected to FontShop anymore, and I wouldn't mind anyway. I really like your place: you've got a well-defined identity and a selection of delightful typefaces.
As about getting jokes: I usually get them, and I've got an elephant hide, as Stephen and Hrant can attest (unfortunately the jokes in this thread aren't funny anymore because I changed my portrait since then).
Well, my sense of humor needs work, but my skin is titanium. From stopping bullets with it. ;-)
Speaking of de Groot, I really liked how he took Folha (commissioned for the titling of a Brazilian newspaper), made it more "incised" (like the French like it), and used it to satisfy the commission from Le Monde for their titles.
BTW, Parisine Plus is one of my fav JFP fonts.
Speaking of de Groot, I really liked how he took Folha (commissioned
for the titling of a Brazilian newspaper), made it more "incised" (like
the French like it), and used it to satisfy the commission from Le Monde
for their titles.
Which has earned to it here the gentle nickname of "Le Folha".
Remake, remodel, recycle...
What does "Le Folha" mean?
Yeah, de Groot is very good at re-using (and interpolating), which is fine by me as long as the source is good, and his always is. And what's very refreshing is that he promotes that aspect of his work method, while many others hide it. BTW, the Le Monde face is called Floris (after his son).
What does "Le Folha" mean?
Nothing more than its constituent parts. Well,
for me - and maybe two or three others - it
connotates that, for what was originally a
commissioned work, Floris is a bit too close,
I actually know the lady who was the art director
at Folha de S
I could ask her opinion.
In fact I think she wouldn't give a damn.
Oh, I get it, you call Floris "Le Folha"... Funny.
I think Le Monde would mind any closeness more than the Brazilian predecessor, but apparently they don't.
In fact I recently saw a comparison of three of his news faces, and at the same point size and column width the linebreaks throughout a piece of a number of paragraphs were nearly totally identical! That tells me he has an "ideal" of individual letter-widths in his head, and for a while now.
I think when your oeuvre has a lot of uniformity it means you're a thinking man, as opposed to being overly market-driven.
Looks Luc(as) de Grootish. But it isn't TheSans: I checked.

- Hello and Happy New Year!
Here is a new article you can post on your blog, website or newsletter. Please remember to include the resource box at the end.
Title: Seven Steps to Work-At-Home Success
Author: Leslie Truex
Word Count: 1040 (including resource box)

The other day a woman said to me that her family was trying to put her off from working at home because it doesn't exist. When I hear stories like this I don't whether to cry or scream. I want to cry because I'm thinking of the dream that is being snuffed out. I want to scream because people do work at home. In fact, it's so prevalent now, you can't go anywhere without meeting one of us. We're your friends on Facebook, the person sitting next to you in the coffee cafe, and the owner of the business you just bought something from.
Today working at home is possible for anyone, but it's not fast, immediate or automatic. It requires research, planning, implementation and diligence. If you're willing to put in the effort, you can work at home in 2012.
Step One: Decide what you want. That sounds pretty easy. More money. Better house. More time. But, these are vague goals and don't inspire action. Be clear about what you want. Be specific including what color, what size, what shape, what brand...etc. Do you want to be home with the kids every day? How much money would that take? What size and style house exactly do you want? Where is it located? On how much land? The more specific you are with your goals, the easier it is to focus on them and be inspired by them. In fact, these desires are the fuel that will keep you moving forward when a part of you wants to give up.
Step Two: Believe it is possible. Richard Bach who wrote Jonathan Livingston Seagull said, "Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can." Working at home is possible. Millions of others have proven it to be true. They are no smarter or more talented or luckier than you. They just knew it could be done and figured out how to do it. You can do the same.
Step Three: Know it will be hard. In M.J. Ryan's book, "This Year I Will..." she relates studies that show people who accept that reaching their goal will be hard and that mistakes will be made are more successful than people who don't. These people understand that set-backs are a part of the process and are determined to learn from mistakes. Working at home is like any other goal, some days you do well, others you don't. Set-backs take all forms, such as people who think you're nuts for working at home, customers returning products or complaining, a marketing strategy that cost a fortune and produces no results, and so on. It's all a part of the process.
Step Four: Take action. Having goals without action is like having a road map but not getting in the car to go anywhere. Mark Twain once said, "The secret to getting ahead is getting started." Unfortunately, it's the start that stops most people. Don't be one of them. Do something every day that moves you towards your goal. In fact, set out to do 5 things
every day that will move you towards your goal.
Step Five: Take 100% responsibility. You are where you are now because of choices you have made. I understand that life may be tough. Perhaps you have been laid off. Or maybe you or someone you love is ill. Life presents challenges, but the most successful people in history have overcome tremendous odds to achieve success. Kyle Maynard was born without any arms below the elbow or legs below the knee. Despite his physical challenges, Kyle was one of the top wrestlers in Georgia in his senior year of high school. At the 2004 Georgia State Wrestling Championships, he had an impressive record of 35-16. He is also the author of the book, "No Excuses" which is what this step is about. You need to give up excuses that prevent you from taking action on your goals, and instead recognize that challenges are obstacles to work around not reasons to quit. While you can't control all the external things in your life, you can choose how you respond to them. By choosing to act instead of be acted upon, you will be taking 100% responsibility for your life.
Step Six: Work through the fear. Fear is best described as:
Fear is what keeps us in our comfort zones. But what is there to fear anyway? What people will think? Who cares? Odds are they don't have what you want and can't help you get it. So why listen to them? To overcome fear, you need to make your dream bigger than your fear. Your desire to work at home needs to be bigger than the fear of what others are going to say about you (and truth be known, people don't think about
you nearly as much as you think they do if at all). Also, make your goals urgent and just as important as other things in your life. When you MUST live your dream, you will.
Step Seven: Be willing to pay the price. I'm not talking about money although sometimes that is a part of reaching your goals. In paying the price you sacrifice and work harder than you have ever done before. Leisure activities like reading and watching television may have to go on the wayside as you spend time working on your goal. You may need to give up some extras like manicures, lattes, or dining out so you can have the extra money to live on or to use in building your business. A price must be paid but the payment is temporary, while the payoff is forever.
Working at home is available to anyone willing to do the work. Getting started begins with have the right mindset of belief and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone and work through the challenges.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/269,825, filed on Oct. 10, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,076,302 the specification of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Embodiments of the invention relate generally to measurement apparatus, systems, and methods, including those that operate to verify the correctness and integrity of electrical connections prior to operational use, including, for example, implanted cardiac leads connected to cardiac rhythm management devices.
During setup and implantation of cardiac rhythm management devices, including pacemakers, the attending physician typically connects one or more leads to a pulse generator, inserts the generator into the surgical pocket, and tests the system for proper operation. However, identification of correct lead connection and proper function can be time consuming and frustrating. This is due, in part, to the increased complexity of modern rhythm management devices.
Commonly available cardiac resynchronization systems include three leads, with up to eight electrodes. Advances in technology may increase the number of leads, electrodes, and sensors.
Connector standards, such as low voltage IS-1 (International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 5841-3:2000 Implants for Surgery�Cardiac Pacemakers�Part 3: Low-profile connectors (IS-1) for implantable pacemakers) and high voltage DF-1 (ISO 11318:1993 Cardiac Defibrillators�Connector Assembly DF-1 for implantable defibrillators�Dimensions and test requirements), have been established to differentiate and standardize various connector types. However, newer standards could operate to admit the use of connector ports having low voltage contacts (e.g., from about 1.0 volts to about 10.0 volts) intermixed with high voltage contacts (e.g., up to about 800 volts); such contacts may be substantially similar, or even identical, in appearance and dimensions.
Thus, newer standards, coupled with increased flexibility in rhythm management device design, could eventually permit a number of lead types to be connected to the same contact type within a port. Improper connections might be made more easily. However, if lead connection integrity and functionality were automatically verified prior to surgical closure, the efficacy of implantation operations could be improved.
The apparatus, systems, and methods described herein provide the opportunity to detect incorrectly connected coronary leads and/or faulty connections to cardiac rhythm management devices in a more reliable manner. The approach involves injecting currents or impressing voltages over the available contact array, measuring several corresponding signals traveling through various leads, and determining whether the leads have been correctly connected, perhaps by comparing the measurements to a database of expected results. Improper connections can be directly indicated to the physician or other user.
An exemplary apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention may include a first contact (e.g., connected to a pacemaker can electrode) to provide a connection signal, a second contact (e.g., connected to a pacemaker lead and electrode) to sense the corresponding connection signal using the electrode coupled to the second contact, a measurement module coupled to the first and second contacts to measure a characteristic (e.g., a voltage or impedance) associated with the corresponding connection signal, a comparison module to determine whether the pacemaker lead is correctly connected, and an indicator module to indicate the comparison result.
A system according to various embodiments of the invention includes the apparatus coupled to a processor. The system may further include a voltage or current generator controlled by the processor.
A method according to various embodiments of the invention includes using a lead to connect an electrode to one contact, providing a connection signal from another contact, measuring a characteristic associated with the corresponding connection signal at the first contact, and determining a comparison result which indicates whether the lead is correctly connected. The method may also include indicating and recording the comparison result.
This summary is intended to provide an exemplary overview of the subject matter further described hereinbelow. It is not intended to provide an exhaustive or exclusive explanation of various embodiments of the invention. The Detailed Description which follows is included to provide further information about such embodiments.
In the following detailed description of various embodiments of the invention, information with respect to making and using the various embodiments, including a best mode of practicing such embodiments, is provided. Thus, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration, and not of limitation, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In the drawings, like numerals describe substantially similar components throughout the several views. The embodiments illustrated are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the teachings disclosed herein. Other embodiments may be utilized and derived therefrom, such that electrical, structural, and logical substitutions and changes may be made without departing from the scope of this disclosure. The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of various embodiments of the invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full range of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
It is understood that the embodiments described herein may relate to ventricular and/or atrial pacing therapy. Such embodiments may be applied to mammalian hearts, human and otherwise. The embodiments also include single chamber and dual chamber applications. It is also understood that the apparatus, systems, and methods provided herein are not limited to implantable devices, and may be used in devices external to the body. Additionally, other devices within and without the area of cardiac rhythm management may employ aspects of the various concepts presented herein without departing from the scope of various embodiments of the invention.
An apparatus to determine connection integrity and functionality measures characteristics associated with signals arising between two contacts included as part of a cardiac rhythm management device. By providing a mechanism to make impedance, timing, and other measurements, a comparison module and a database of expected results can be used to assess correct connection of multiple lead systems in a rapid and thorough manner.
Leads can be used to attach electrodes to contacts. For example, a first contact 104 may be connected to one electrode of a first lead 107 (e.g. a right atrial (RA) lead 107 having an electrode pair, wherein the contact 104 is connected to either the RA ring electrode 108 or the RA tip electrode 110, disposed in the right atrium 114 of a heart 120) and a second contact 105 may be connected to the other electrode in the lead 107, or to an electrode included in a second lead 124 (e.g., a left ventricular (LV) lead 124, including an electrode pair, wherein the contact 105 is connected to either the LV ring electrode 126 or the LV tip electrode 128, disposed within the left ventricle 132). Additional contacts connected to various leads and electrodes may also be present, such as a third contact 106 connected to an electrode of a third lead 136 (e.g., a right ventricular (RV) lead 136, including an electrode pair, wherein the contact 106 is connected to either the RV ring electrode 138 or the RV tip electrode 140, disposed within the right ventricle 144).
Thus, any of the contacts 104, 105, and 106 can be connected to any of the electrodes 108, 110, 126, 128, 138, 140 via the leads 107, 124, 136, as desired by the architect of the apparatus 100. In addition, any number and type of signals 148, 150, and 152 (e.g., voltage or current) may be propagated from the contacts 104, 105, and 106 to the electrodes 108, 110, 126, 128, 138, 140, and vice-versa (i.e., from the electrodes to the contacts).
The apparatus 100 also includes a measurement module 156, capable of being communicatively coupled to the contacts 104, 105, and 106, and used to measure one or more characteristics of the signals 148, 150, and 152. Such characteristics include, but are not limited to, voltage, current, impedance, waveforms/waveshapes (e.g. sine, square, signatures, etc.), and/or time differentials. These characteristics can be affected by (or associated with) one or more of the leads 107, 124, 136 (e.g., the type of lead connected to the electrodes 108, 110, 126, 128, 138, and 140) and/or the communicating tissue and fluids situated therebetween (e.g., the heart 120, including one or more of its chambers). The apparatus 100 also includes a comparison module 164, and an indicator module 168.
A current injection device 170, such as a current generator 170, can be used to inject a current 172 between any lead electrode 108, 110, 126, 128, 138, 140 and any pacer electrode, such as a header electrode 174 or a can electrode 176, connected to contacts 177. A corresponding voltage V1, V2, arising between another lead electrode and another pacer electrode, can then be measured by the measurement module 156. Alternatively, voltages may be impressed across various combinations of electrodes, and the resulting currents (e.g., associated with signals 148, 150, 152) can be measured. Thus, each lead 107, 124, 136, including those associated with the electrode pairs 108, 110, 126, 128, 138, 140, is capable of propagating a current, injected or measured, and impressing or sensing a voltage. A switch 178 may be included in the apparatus 100 and used to control the distribution of injected current 172, as well as the acquisition of the resulting signals voltages V1, V2, among others.
Thus, for example, one contact 177, perhaps connected to a can electrode 176, can be used to provide a connection signal, such as a current 172, to a contact 104. Another contact, such as contact 105, can be used to sense a corresponding connection signal 150 using an electrode 126, 128 coupled to the contact 105, using the lead 124. The measurement module 156 can be used to measure one or more characteristics associated with the corresponding connection signal 150, such as its current, voltage, impedance, and/or time differential (i.e., the time difference of reception or propagation delay after launching the current pulse 172).
The comparison module 156 is used to determine, for example, whether the leads 107, 124, and 136 are correctly connected to the contacts 104, 105, and 106, respectively. In some embodiments, the determination can occur by comparing one or more measured characteristics (associated with the corresponding connection signals 148, 150, 152) with appropriate preselected ranges of values to provide a comparison result. Thus, for example, a lead 107 with a coated electrode 110 having a surface area of about 10 mm2 would be expected to have an impedance of about 180 ohms to about 300 ohms. However, a lead 124 having a platinum-coated microtip electrode might be expected to present an impedance of about 1000 ohms to about 1400 ohms for proper operation. If the lead 107 was determined to have an impedance of about 1200 ohms, then the indication of the comparison result might be that the lead 107 was not of the preselected lead type (e.g., a lead having an expected impedance of about 180 to about 300 ohms).
Thus, an indication of a comparison result might include a measured impedance versus an expected impedance range. Another possibility, among many, is a conduction response time comparison result between the first and second electrodes. For example, if the atrium 114 is paced using the current 172, the measured response 152 in the ventricle 144 should occur within an expected range of about 120 milliseconds to about 180 milliseconds. Alternatively, an indication of the comparison result might simply be that the result was �correct� or �good�, or �out of range� or the product of an �incorrect connection�, or just �bad.�
The indicator module 168 is used to indicate the result of the comparison, such as to a processor 182 and/or a pacer programmer 183. The result may be indicated on an indication device 184, such as a speaker 184 or display 184, coupled to, or included in the programmer 183. As shown in the figure, the comparison and/or indicator modules 164, 168 may be located within the apparatus 100, externally connected to the apparatus 100, or remotely, such as in the programmer 183. If such is the case, a wireless signal 185 may be used to communicate the measured characteristics 185, and/or the results of the comparison 185, and/or an indication of the results 185 between the apparatus 100 and the programmer 183.
A database module 186, located within the apparatus 100 externally, or remotely, such as in the programmer 183, is used to store a plurality of expected range values, including ranges of values selected to correspond to the leads 107, 124, and 136 connected to the apparatus 100. Manufacturers of various lead types, technicians, and physicians, among other users, may have periodic access to the database module 186 to update stored information as needed.
It may now be easily understood that the invention also includes a system 180, such as a cardiac rhythm management system 180, including the apparatus 100 described above, as well as a processor 182 capable of being communicatively coupled to the apparatus 100. The processor 182 may be coupled to a memory 187 containing data 188, such as program data, or data acquired via the measurement module 156. The processor 182 may be used to control various elements of the apparatus 100, such as the measurement module 156, the comparison module 164, the current injection device 170, and the switch 178.
As noted above, one or more contacts 104, 105, 106 can be coupled to one or more electrodes 108, 110, 126, 128, 138, 140. This includes coupling contacts to pacer electrodes, such as coupling a contact 177 to a pacer header electrode 174, or a pacer can electrode 176. Multiple contacts 104, 105, 106 can be included in a single port 103. The contacts may be different 104, 105, 106, substantially similar, or identical. Various characteristics associated with the measured signals 148, 150, 152 can be measured and compared, either to ranges of values stored in the database 186, and/or against each other. For example, the characteristic may be an impedance associated with a measured voltage of about 0.5 volts to about 10.0 volts. Or, as another example, the characteristic may be the conduction response time between two electrodes, ranging from about 50 milliseconds to about 250 milliseconds. Comparison results may indicate that all connections are correct, that incorrect connections exist between specific contacts and specific electrodes, and/or that certain leads are (or are not) of the expected type, etc.
It should be noted that current injection devices, and measured voltages have been used to illustrate specific embodiments of the invention. However, other embodiments may use voltage sources, combinations of voltage and current sources, measured currents and combinations of measured voltages and currents to arrive at the same result, which is the measurement of various signals from which characteristics leading to a determination of lead and electrode integrity and functionality can be reliably extracted.
The apparatus 100, the cardiac pacer unit 102, the contacts 104, 105, 106, the measurement module 156, the comparison module 164, the indicator module 168, the current injection device 170, the switch 178, the system 180, the processor 182, the programmer 183, the indication device 184, the database module 186, and the memory 187 may all be characterized as �modules� herein. Such modules may include hardware circuitry, and/or a processor and/or memory circuits, software program modules, and/or firmware, and combinations thereof, as desired by the architect of the apparatus 100 and the system 180, and as appropriate for particular implementations of various embodiments of the invention.
One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the apparatus and systems of the present invention can be applied to systems other than those which include cardiac rhythm management devices, and thus, the invention is not to be so limited. The illustrations of an apparatus 100 and a system 180 are intended to provide a general understanding of the structure of the present invention, and they are not intended to serve as a complete description of all the elements and features of apparatus and systems that might make use of the structures described herein.
Applications that may include the novel apparatus and systems of the present invention include electronic circuitry used in communication and signal processing circuitry, modems, processor modules, embedded processors, and application-specific modules, including multilayer, multi-chip modules. Such apparatus and systems may further be utilized as sub-components within a variety of electronic systems, including cellular telephones, personal computers, radios, and others.
The method may then continue with determining whether the pacing leads are of a preselected type, perhaps by comparing the measured characteristic(s) with one or more ranges of values to determine a comparison result at block 235. If the comparison result is such that the lead(s) are determined not to be of a preselected type, perhaps because the comparison result is not within the desired range (or even if the result is within the expected range, such that the lead connections have been properly made), the method may include indicating the comparison result at block 251. The method may then continue with recording the comparison result 255 in a memory included in the apparatus, the system, a programmer, or even within the database containing the ranges of values used for comparison. The method may then go back to block 221, wherein additional electrodes are connected, or to block 225, wherein additional connection signals are provided so that characteristics of other corresponding connection signals may be measured. Alternatively, if the comparison result is found to be within the range of values expected, the method may continue with block 221 or 225, or block 255, recording the comparison result.
Referring to the methods just described, it should be clear that some embodiments of the present invention may also be realized in the context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules may include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. As such, any of the modules 100, 102, 104, 105, 106, 156, 164, 168, 170, 178, 180, 182, 183, 184, 186, and 187 described herein may include software operative on one or more processors to perform methods according to the teachings of various embodiments of the present invention.
One of ordinary skill in the art will understand, upon reading and comprehending this disclosure, the manner in which a software program can be launched from a computer readable medium in a computer-based system to execute the functions defined in the software program. One of ordinary skill in the art will further understand the various programming languages that may be employed to create one or more software programs designed to implement and perform the methods disclosed herein. The programs can be structured in an object-orientated format using an object-oriented language such as Java, Smalltalk, or C++. Alternatively, the programs can be structured in a procedure-orientated format using a procedural language, such as COBOL or C. The software components may communicate using any of a number of mechanisms that are well-known to those skilled in the art, such as application program interfaces (API) or interprocess communication techniques such as the Remote Procedure Call (RPC). However, the teachings of various embodiments of the present invention are not limited to any particular programming language or environment.
As is evident from the preceding description, and referring back to
By way of example and not limitation, computer-readable media may comprise computer storage media and communications media. Computer storage media includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information 188 such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Communications media specifically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal 185 such as a carrier wave 185, coded information signal 185, and/or other transport mechanism, which includes any information delivery media. The term �modulated data signal� means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example and not limitation, communications media also includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connections, and wireless media such as acoustic, optical, radio frequency, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above are also included within the scope of computer-readable and/or accessible media.
Thus, it is now easily understood that another embodiment of the invention may include an article 190 comprising a machine-accessible medium or memory 187 having associated data 188, wherein the data 188, when accessed, results in a machine (e.g. the processor or control logic 182) performing activities such as providing a connection signal using a first contact (e.g., a current injected into the first contact connected to a can electrode), measuring a first characteristic (e.g. a voltage) associated with a corresponding connection signal arising from the provided connection signal at a second contact connected to another electrode (e.g., using a coronary lead), determining whether the lead is of a preselected type by comparing the first characteristic with a first range of values to determine a first comparison result, and indicating the first comparison result if the first characteristic is not within the first range of values. Other connection signals can be provided using the first contact, or other contacts and additional leads. Other characteristics associated with corresponding connection signals arising from the other provided connection signals can be measured so as to determine whether leads have been connected correctly (by determining whether leads are of an expected or preselected lead type). Such determinations may be accomplished by comparing appropriate ranges of values with the measured characteristics and used to determine comparison results (which can be indicated whether or not they fall within the expected ranges).
For example, assuming that a first contact is coupled to a pacer can electrode, a second contact is coupled to an atrial ring electrode, and a third contact is coupled to an atrial tip electrode, measuring a characteristic associated with the corresponding connection signal at the third contact may include measuring a voltage between the atrial tip electrode and the pacer can electrode after injecting a current between the atrial ring electrode and the pacer can electrode. These and other activities may be conducted during implantation activity, as well as during periodic checkups on the patient thereafter using a programmer and the various embodiments of the invention described above.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that any arrangement which is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. This disclosure is intended to cover any and all adaptations or variations of various embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the above Detailed Description has been made in an illustrative fashion, and not a restrictive one. Combinations of the above embodiments, and other embodiments not specifically described herein will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. The scope of various embodiments of the invention includes any other applications in which the above structures and methods are used. Therefore, the scope of various embodiments of the invention should be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full range of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
It is emphasized that the Abstract is provided to comply with 37 C.F.R. �1.72(b) requiring an abstract that will allow the reader to quickly ascertain the nature of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. It should also be noted that in the foregoing Detailed Description, various features may be grouped together in a single embodiment for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments of the invention require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, inventive subject matter lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus the following claims are hereby incorporated into the Detailed Description, with each claim standing on its own as a separate preferred embodiment.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Cadillac ATS
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.9
Cadillac's all-new compact luxury sport sedan, the 2013 ATS, puts its own spin on the division's sharp-edged design philosophy. The new ATS trumpets bold looks, handling dynamics tuned on Germany's famed Nürburgring circuit, the choice of 4- or 6-cylinder power, and all of Cadillac's latest technology, including the new CUE infotainment interface. This rear-drive/all-wheel-drive 4-door has its sights set on bettering the best from Europe and Japan, including the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Infiniti G sedans.
The Cadillac ATS is something we haven't seen in a while: an entry-level luxury sedan with standard rear-wheel drive from an American automaker. The 2013 ATS is meant to challenge rivals like the BMW 3 Series, as well as the notion that Cadillacs must be large and piloted by drivers who "look good for their age."
If you want an immediately recognizable compact luxury sedan whose purchase requires little to no explaining to friends, you might want to stick with a BMW 3 Series. As the new kid on the block, the ATS will have to prove itself against more established entries and win over the competition from Germany and Japan.
Cadillac steps back into the compact-sedan arena for the first time in 20 years with a premium-grade offering that's all-new and fully qualified to take on the world's best sport/luxury starter sedans.
Driving Impressions Three distinct personalities can be assigned to the 2013 Cadillac ATS, and each is determined by one of the three available ATS engines. At the practical level, the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder...powerplant gets the job done with 202 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic transmission, but isn't interested in putting in overtime. At the Euro end of the ATS equation comes the 3.6-liter V6 and its 321-horsepower valentine to autobahns and boulevard cruising. The V6 power makes the 6-speed automatic's job easy, but that's not the combination we'd recommend – even if you can afford it. For you, we've picked out the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder – with the 6-speed automatic if you want it, but with the available 6-speed manual transmission if you want to give BMW's sweet, new BMW 328i sedan a run for its (or rather, your) money. The 272-horsepower 2.0-liter rewards calling your own gear-shots with bullet-feel acceleration and legit lightweight sports sedan handling, a truth aided measurably by the available FE3 suspension with "Magnetic Ride Control", a term that did not strike us in the least as an overstatement either on the road or at the track.
If you own an iPhone or an Android, you can learn the ins and outs of this in-car entertainment and communications system in seconds. Even better: If you're not living in a smartphone-centric universe, the touch-screen-based CUE system uses the same intuitive logic that's making Apple gazillions.
If we could convince you of only one thing in this entire review, it would be to at least try out an ATS with the 2.0-liter engine. This is an easy-to-drive engine with class-leading power and class-comparable fuel economy.
Offering a well-finished assortment of real wood and supple leather/leatherette trims set off with plated-metal and carbon fiber accents, the new Cadillac ATS features a wraparound dash, driver-centric controls and LED gauges, and subtle ambient lighting. While in no danger of putting Audi out of business, the ATS cabin feels a breath or two more elegant than expected, which is a very good sign in a luxury car interior. Front-seat legroom is adult-sized, but the ceiling can get cramped if you get the sunroof. In classic compact sedan fashion, rear legroom can be precisely described as iffy, but not scandalously so.Exterior
Boldly angular bodywork set off with Cadillac's signature LED-infused vertical lighting elements gives the new ATS an aggressive edge. Posed curbside, the sedan is endowed with a confident, well-planted stance. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels and optional 18-inch upgrades add even more visual intensity to the mix.
The feature set on the 2013 Cadillac ATS expands as you move from the base (Standard) model up through the Luxury, Performance and Premium grades, but even the Standard ATS comes with a full range of attractions. Want the easy life? Power-assist everything, dual-zone automatic climate control, 7-speaker Bose audio, and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity are all yours. Want peace of mind? Eight airbags and Front and Rear Automatic Braking that can prevent low-speed impacts are looking out for you. The magical Cadillac CUE infotainment interface and Bose Cabin Surround sound system adorn higher-grade ATS versions, with navigation coming standard on Premium models.
Like the standard features, available extras for the ATS are somewhat trim-grade dependent. Beyond available all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission on the rear-drive 2.0-liter turbo model, key ATS upgrades include a ton of make-me-safer features with vaguely descriptive names like Full-Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Forward Lighting, Lane Departure Warning, Side Blind Zone Alert, and Brake Pre-Fill Automatic Collision Preparation.
The 2013 Cadillac ATS offers three different engines with the Standard trim models getting a 202-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. All Turbo versions will be fitted with a 272-horsepower turbocharged four. The top-line models get a 321-horsepower V6. Save for the rear-drive ATS turbo that will be available with a 6-speed manual transmission, all other versions of the Cadillac ATS will come with a standard 6-speed automatic.

"I've had my ATS for two years. I haven't had any issues or problems. I have had to take it in for several recalls but i never experienced any problems associated with what was being fixed by the recall. I love how smooth and nimble the car feels while driving. We've driven it on several long trips and the seats are great and really help with driving fatigue. Mileage averages about 24 city/hwy. Only drawback is resale value seems low but I will probably keep for a long time because it is a fun, smooth, comfortable car. Also, it came with bumper-to-bumper coverage (including free oil changes) for four years. I would recommend to anyone wanting an affordable premium car."

"Car has been to the Dealership 4 times already for a low idle misfire. The dealership and General Motors are telling me it's a low idle roughness inherent to this 2.5 GM engine. Ya Right! You mean General Motors can't build a 4 cylinder engine with a smooth idle. Car stumbles while sitting in traffic and now jumping in and out of gear while drive in the city. Car is biggest piece of junk I've ever owned. Recommend not buying a Cadillac or GM."

"very quick/nimble. When I go from my Gran Sport Corvette to ATS doesn't miss a beat. The Priemium model is a great buy, glad I choose this over the CTS."

"I have owned many "luxury" cars and I all but live in my car with my job, I was hesitant to buy the caddy because it was not your typical higher end car.. I traded my Lexus in for the ATS 3.6 L Performance and have never been happier. This car drives and looks better than the Benz, BMW , Lexus and The Audi I drove... Buy it!! You wont regret it!"

"Some people do not like the CUE system, but it is very similar to an I-pad that you need to get use-to. Also the trunk is small but it is a smaller car. Great handling and pick-up with the 3.6."
