Abstract: A controller for identifying an abnormal operational condition in a bathing unit system that includes a power source and a set of bathing unit components. The controller comprises a power control device and a processing module. The power control device is capable of acquiring a first state and a second state. In the first state, said power control device enables the power source to supply power to the set of bathing unit components, and in the second state, said power control device prevents the power source from supplying power to the set of bathing unit components. The processing module is operative for detecting an abnormal operational condition associated with the bathing unit system, and more particularly with the controller itself. Upon detection of an abnormal operational condition associated with the controller, the processing module causes the power control device to acquire the second state.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un composite polymère résistant à l'inflammation, comprenant : a) un substrat polymère; b) un ignifugeant mélangé au substrat polymère; et c) une couche d'organosilicium polymérisé par plasma, partiellement oxydée, collée au substrat. Le composite résistant à l'inflammation peut rapidement atteindre une classification V-0 dans un test d'inflammabilité UL-94 à l'aide d'une concentration sensiblement inférieure d'ignifugeant que celle généralement incorporée dans des substrats afin d'obtenir le même résultat. Par conséquent, la présente invention rend inutile la nécessité de maintenir l'intégrité d'un substrat dans lequel est incorporé un ignifugeant pour réduire les niveaux de matériaux suspects pour l'environnement.

Inventor: GIBSON R NICHOLSON
IPC: H04W24/08
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: Techniques to test a wireless communication link using configurable channels and rates. A W-Markov test service may be invoked to test and/or verify the performance of the downlink and/or uplink using at least one transport channel for each link. Each transport channel may be individually configured. The W-Markov test service supports generation of test data based on a defined data sequence or a pseudo-random number generator. The testing may be performed based on a particular deterministic or pseudo-random activity model. For voice call testing, a first-order Markov model may be used to model voice activity and to select the rate to use for each transmission time interval (TTI). For Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR), testing may be performed based on configurable AMR  rates and silence descriptor (SID) types. The test data generation processes are synchronized between the transmitter and receiver. Bit, frame, and/or block error rates and other statistics may be collected.

Title: Selection of neurostimulator parameter configurations using decision trees
Inventor: GOETZ STEVEN M
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 2004-09-14
Abstract: A selection of parameter configurations for a neurostimulator using decision trees may be employed by a programming device to allow a clinician or other user to select parameter configurations, and then program an implantable neurostimulator to deliver therapy using the selected parameter configurations. The programming device executes a parameter configuration search algorithm to guide the clinician in selection of parameter configurations. The search algorithm relies on a decision tree to identify optimum parameter configurations. A decision tree is useful in classifying observations in a data set based upon one or more attributes or fields within the data. The data set includes parameter configurations matched with observed ratings of efficacy on patients of a similar indication. The learned attribute, on which classification occurs, will be the optimum parameter configuration for a set of rated configurations used to produce the classification. The decision trees may be especially useful in identifying electrode configurations.
