Title: Device for determining the concentration of at least one gas component in a breathing gas mixture
Inventor: PETER DREYER
IPC: G01N33/00
Filed: 2017-10-19
Abstract: A device 1 for determining the concentration of a gas component includes a radiation source 30 for radiating 31 infrared light, two detector arrays 52, 62 with two detector elements 50, 60 configured for detecting the radiated light and two different IR filter elements 51, 61, a gas flow channel 100 with first and second light transmission elements, and a diaphragm element 23.

Title: Managing data for transportation
Inventor: CEZARY BOGUSLAW BLOCH
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-12-22
Abstract: Packet aggregation method of transmitting data, in particular sending images to a display. A host receives data divided into a plurality of data blocks and processes each block to form a processed data portion, where the processed data chunks (A, B, C, D) vary in size. The processing may be compression. The processed data portions are grouped or encapsulated into a Transport unit (TU) to be transmitted to a client, where the transport unit has a maximum size 45. When the portions are queued into a buffer, a gap is left between each portion. Each gap can be overwritten with a start field header to indicate the start of a packet. Starting from the previous start field header, a set of sequential chunks is determined with a total size less than the transport unit threshold, and a second start field header is written to delimit the set of portions to be sent in a transport unit.
