An atrial fibrillation classification system collects celectrocardiogram signals and converts them to a frequency, time, or phase domain representation for analysis. An evaluation stage extracts energy density profile over a range of frequencies, time intervals, or phases, which is then summed and normalized to form dispersion metrics. The system then analyzes the dispersion metrics, in their respective domains, to determine whether a patient is experiencing an arrhythmia and then to classify the type of arrhythmia being experienced.

A method for the synthesis of well-defined rod-coil block copolymers consisting of P3HT donor and C60 acceptor chromophores (P3HT-b-P(SxAy)-C60) in a molecular architecture is reported for use in bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. In thin films of the resulting block copolymer, reproducible self-assembly into well-defined “nanofibrils” is observed. This is the first example of a block copolymer containing a C60 derivative that shows exclusively a nanofibrilar structure. A substantial improvement in device performance is achieved when the block copolymer is used as a “surfactant” for controlling the interface morphology of the P3HT:PCBM donor-acceptor phase domains within the composite.

Therefore, the stability analysis can be carried out on the system.

Apparatus and methods disclosed herein operate to compensate for skew between inverse phases (e.g., differential phases) of an analog signal appearing at the inputs of an analog signal capture circuit such as a track-and-hold or sample-and-hold circuit associated with an ADC or similar device. Each of two capture clocks is used to capture one of the inverse phases. One or more delay circuits are configured to create a differential delay between clock transitions associated with the two capture clocks. The differential delay is proportional to the input skew between the inverse phases. The phases are consequently sampled at substantially identical points on a phase domain axis. Embodiments operate to create phase sampling synchronicity and to thereby decrease the amplitude of a common-mode signal component that results from the skew. Increased linearity and decreased distortion may result.
