Counsel:  Firm: ArentFox Schiff LLP
1st Invent:  Igor Seletskiy (Palo Alto, CA)
Inventors:  Genders: F=0, M=3
Abstract:
2000 char max
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for automatic detection, fixing, and monitoring of vulnerabilities. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises receiving as an input an artifact, when the received artifact is vulnerable, building the artifact for a new release, scanning a library containing the new release of the artifact to determine whether the library is safe for publishing, and publishing the library to an accessible artifact depository when the library is safe for publishing. In one aspect, the building of the artifact for the new release includes, scanning a dependency tree, replacing the vulnerable version by a safe version of the artifact when a safe version is available, fixing the vulnerable version of the artifact using known patches when a safe version of the artifact is not available, adding a postfix to a group ID of the artifact for distinguishing the fixed version from prior versions of the artifact.

Inventors:  Genders: F=1, M=3
Abstract:
2000 char max
An example medical device system includes an implantable medical lead including a first defibrillation electrode and a second defibrillation electrode, the first and second defibrillation electrodes configured to deliver antitachyarrhythmia shocks, and a pace electrode disposed between the first defibrillation electrode and the second defibrillation electrode, the pace electrode configured to deliver a pacing pulse that generates an electric field proximate to the pace electrode. The medical device system includes a shield configured to be implanted in a patient separately from the implantable medical lead and disposed anterior at least one of the electrodes, wherein the shield is configured to impede an electric field of the electrical therapy in a direction from at least one of the first defibrillation electrode, the second defibrillation electrode, or the pace electrode away from a heart of the patient.
