representing a position of the subject, means (370) for
sending a signal representing a position of the imaging
probe (500), an array of receivers (300) in communication
with the subject position signalling means and the imaging
probe position signalling means, and a processor (314) in
communication with the array. The processor (314) is
configured to determine the position of the subject relative
to the array (300), to determine the position of the imaging
probe (500) relative to the array (300), to determine the
position of the imaging probe (500) relative to the subject,

Abstract: Information is entered and validated by the operator of a dialysis machine (30) by converting (230) the entered information into a first form using a first conversion relationship such as ASCII. The information in the first form is next converted (238) into a second form using a second conversion relationship, such as floating point numeric. Thereafter the information in the second form is converted (244) back to the first form using the first conversion relationship. The information in the first form which resulted from the third conversion (244) is displayed (246 and 248) for acceptance for rejection by the operator. Displaying the information resulting from sequential multiple conversions (230, 238, and 244) assures an opportunity for the operator to evaluate the entries for accuracy. Re-display of the previously entered information repeatedly presents the operator with an opportunity to recognize human-induced errors.

Abstract: A memory interface is disclosed for accessing a plurality in
memory regions. The interface includes a register which stores a
number of memory request signals received from a processor or the
like. The memory interface includes circuitry for detecting
which memory region each memory request refers to and also which
page within that memory region is required to be accessed. Using
the information contained in the register, the memory interface
is able to determine which page within a memory region will be
required to be accessed after the currently open page is closed.
The memory interface can detect this information a number of
memory requests in advance. Thus the memory interface is able to
provide the necessary control instructions to initiate the
opening of the subsequently required page within a memory region
so that when the memory request requiring access to this page is
serviced, there is no delay in opening the page. 
     The memory interface is arranged so that a page within a first
memory region can be opened while a page within a second memory
is being actually accessed.
