Abstract: The present invention provides an optical attenuator (200) comprising an optical attenuator module (210), an optical splitter (220), a detector (240) and a control unit (250). Input radiation (Pi) is received at the attenuator module (210) which is operable to attenuate the input radiation to generate corresponding attenuated radiation (Po). The detector (240) is operable to receive a portion of the attenuated radiation (0.1Po) and generate a corresponding electrical signal T1. The signal T1 is applied by the control unit (250) via a first feedback loop (262) to regulate the attenuator module (210) so that radiation power of the attenuated radiation is maintained to a predetermined level. In a situation where an interruption of the input radiation (P;) occurs, the control unit (250) is operable to monitor temperature of the attenuator module (210) using a thermistor sensor (280) and to regulate the temperature of the module (210) using a second feedback loop (264) to a predetermined temperature during the interruption. On termination of the interruption, control of the attenuator module (210) is transferred back to the first feedback loop (262) to maintain the attenuated radiation to the predetermined level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to provide a system to properly charge a receiving fee for a particular packet
data to a sender of the particular packet data in circumstances in which the packet
charging is performed, a mailing request receipt processor (110) registers information
regarding a destination user, a sender and a particular packet data to be sent in a storage
device (120) for storing a mailing request for advertising. When a terminal of the
destination user registered in the storage device (120) conducts a process to receive
packet data, a packet switch (5) charges the destination user for the packet data. A
charge transfer processor (150) transfers the fee charged to the destination user for the
particular packet data, to the sender registered in the storage device (120), by using a
receiving status data for the particular packet data by the terminal (9) of the destination
user, which is registered in the storage device (120). The charge transfer processor
(150) stores a result of the transfer in the charge information (DB7).

Abstract: An implantable stimulator and monitor measures a group of heart failure parameters indicative of the state of heart failure employing EGM signals, measures of blood pressure including absolute pressure P, developed pressure (DP = systolic P   diastolic P), and/or dP/dt, and measures of heart chamber volume (V) over one or more cardiac cycles. These parameters include: (1) relaxation or contraction time constant tau (t); (2) mechanical restitution (MR), ie., the mechanical response of a heart chamber to premature stimuli applied to the heart chamber; (3) recirculation fraction (RF), i.e., the rate of decay of PESP effects over a series of the heart cycles; and (4) end systolic elastance (EES), i.e., the ratios of end systolic blood pressure P to volume V. These heart failure parameters are determined periodically regardless of patient posture and activity level. The physician can determine whether  a particular therapy is appropriate, prescribe the therapy for a period of time while again accumulating the stored patient data for a later review and assessment to determine whether the applied therapy is beneficial or not, thereby enabling periodic changes in therapy, if appropriate. Drug therapies and electrical stimulation therapies, including PESP stimulation, and pacing therapies including single chamber, dual chamber and multi-chamber (bi-atrial and/or bi-ventricular) pacing can be delivered. In patient's prone to malignant tachyarrhythmias, the assessment of heart failure state can be taken into account in setting parameters of detection or classification of tachyarrhythmias and the therapies that are delivered.
