Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling alarms in a medical diagnostic apparatus where an alarm is generated when a measured value for a physiological parameter is outside a specified range. The method continuously calculates a baseline value, and establishes dynamic thresholds that are related to and continuously track the baseline value. The method determines the amount of time the measured value is past the dynamic threshold, and the amount by which the threshold is passed. Alarms are triggered based upon a combination of the amount of time and the amount by which the threshold is passed. Preferably, the combination is an integral or some function of an integral.

Abstract: In a method of and apparatus for manufacturing a filtering screen, a frame of plastics coated metal or reinforced plastics material is located in a jig and at least two sheets of wire cloths are placed over the frame and their edges gripped by pneumatically operated clamps carried by the jig. The clamps are pneumatically driven outwardly of the frame to tension each cloth in orthogonal directions. The tensioned cloths are pressed against the frame and heated in order to bond the cloths to the frame. The heated material is allowed to cool, and after completion of the bonding step the clamps are released, allowing the frame to be removed from the jig. Where necessary the cloths are trimmed back to the edges of the frame. A separate set of pneumatically operated clamps may be provided for gripping all four edges of each wire cloth layer to allow each layer to be individually tensioned.

Abstract: A server or proxy server transmits streaming video data. An identification is made of either: an average or minimum available bandwidth of a link over which a data stream of a given video segment is to be transmitted or a capability of a recipient host to which the data stream is to be transmitted. A selection is made of either: a corresponding one of a plurality of predetermined ranges of bandwidths so that the selected range contains the identified average minimum available bandwidth; or a corresponding one of a plurality of different data stream types so that the identified capability of the recipient host is used to process data of the selected data stream type. The data stream is coded in a manner which takes advantage of the range of bandwidths or type of data stream that has been or is to be selected. The coded data stream is transmitted over the link to a recipient.

Abstract: A system and method includes timing parameters within a node-verification protocol, such as OCPS, to facilitate a determination of the proximity of a target node to a source node. The node-verification protocol includes a query-response sequence, wherein the source node communicates a query to the target node, and the target node communicates a corresponding response to the source node. The source node establishes a lower bound on the distance between the source node and the target node based on a measure of the time required to effect this query-response sequence. The time required to effect this sequence includes the time required to communicate the query and response, as well as the time required to process the query and generate the response. The target node includes a measure of the time required to process the query and generate the response to the source node. The source node subtracts this time from the total query-response time to determine the time consumed for the communication. This communication time is compared to a threshold value to determine whether the target node is local or remote relative to the source node.

Abstract: A processing system comprises a detection unit which detects repetitions of periods of access address patterns output from at least one of a plurality of processing units. The interface switches selectable connections between the data input and/or outputs of the processing units and the data input and/or outputs of selectable ones of a plurality of memory units. As a result a same addresses from at least one of the plurality of processing units alternately addresses a location in different ones of the memory units in dependence on the detection of said repetition. Preferably, the detection unit contains an address comparator arranged to detect whether addresses from the address output of a first one of the data processing units fall in a range of one or more addresses associated with the memory units. The detector generates a detection signal indicating the new one of said repetitions each time when one of the addresses from the address output of the first one of the data processing units has output addresses in said range a certain number of times.
