We present an algorithm for producing a seamless animated loop from single image. The detects periodic structures, such as the windows of building or steps staircase, and generates non-trivial displacement vector field that maps each segment structure onto neighboring along user- auto-selected main direction motion. This is used, together with suitable temporal spatial smoothing, to warp image ...

With the introduction of dual chamber pacemakers that have multiple atrial amplitude sensing values, selective P wave sensing is possible. Five consecutive patients were studied who had 1) retrograde atrioventricular conduction, 2) anterograde atrial signals that were at least 1.4 times larger than their corresponding retrograde atrial signals, and 3) dual chamber pulse generators that are capa...
