Abstract: A television receiver for receiving data signals, particularly teletext, associated with a television signal has a page memory (13) for storing a plurality of pages for display on a display screen. In order to use the memory with maximum effectiveness a queue is formed in order of priority of requests for allocation of memory locations for storing pages. Various features such as FASTEXT, TOP, EPG, WST level 2.5 each require a certain minimum number of pages to allow the feature to be achieved. Each feature has a dedicated page request generator (PG-1 to PG-n) which each provide an ordered list of page requests. These are fed to priority setting means (P) which allocates each of the page request generators a given priority based on a priority scheme (PS) and a list of connected page request generators (PGL). The page request generators (PG-1 to PG-n) react to system events source (S1), broadcast event sources (S2), and/or user event sources (S3). This enables the easy addition or deletion of features.

Abstract: A disposable electrochemical sensor for the detection of an analyte such as glucose in a liquid sample is formed with a working electrode and a reference electrode disposed within a sample-receiving cavity, and a reagent layer disposed within the sample-receiving cavity and over the working electrode. The reagent layer contains at least an enzyme for producing an electrochemical signal in the presence of the analyte. The sample-receiving cavity has a volume of less than 1.5  mu l, and such that the sensor provides a measurement which correlates with the amount of analyte in a period of 10 seconds or less. The sensor is used in combination with a meter for detection of the analyte in a liquid sample. A suitable meter has a timing circuit for controlling the measurement of current indicative of analyte in the sample following detection of sample application to a test strip inserted in the meter. This timing circuit causes the measurement of current to occur at a time 15 seconds or less after the detection of sample application.

Title: Operating system-independent method and system of determining cpu utilization
Inventor: COOPER BARNES
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2004-02-06
Abstract: The utilization of a central processing unit during a sampling time interval is determined by measuring a time quantum within the sampling time interval during which a central processing unit clock signal is active within a processor core of the central processing unit. The total number of cycles of the central processing unit clock signal that are applied to the processor core and the period of the central processing unit clock signal are used to determine the time quantum. The utilization may then be expressed in terms of a ratio of the time quantum to the total time interval.
