Abstract: A system and method for conducting a location based search for event cartridges is provided. A database of cartridges is maintained. Each cartridge includes a sequence of triggerable events and origin geolocational data for a start location for execution of the triggerable events. A server is operatively coupled to the database and interfaces to a user device having a display and user input controls. A user request from the user device is processed. The user request, including a location of the user device, is received. The cartridges are searched by comparing the location of the user device and the start location for each cartridge. Those cartridges with the start location proximate to the location of the user device are selected. The selected cartridges are provided to the user device as a menu on the display and are further selectable through the user input controls.

IPC: A61B5/11
Filed: 2007-11-28
Abstract: The patient monitoring system comprises at least one load cell element (12) mounted in relation to a support surface, the load cell element (12) determining movement of a person on a support surface. The movement is determined based on a reference (31) measured using the load cell element (12) when the person is positioned on the support surface in a reference position and the subsequent load changes determined using the load cell element in relation to the reference. If the load change exceeds a pre-defined threshold, an alarm (18) is activated. The user is able to set the threshold value of the alarm system according to the physical condition of the patient. For example, in some cases it is necessary to be notified about any movements and in others only major movements are of interest.

Abstract: An improved starter pull cord for an internal combustion engine having significantly increased stiffness, resistance to wear, and strength, the starter pull cord being comprised of rope having high modulus fibers selected from the group consisting of liquid crystal polymer (LCP), aramid, and high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE). The higher stiffness of the high modulus starter pull cords of the present invention translates to greater impetus during the act of pull starting the engine, which is apt to start more quickly than with starter pull cords of the prior art. The increased strength of the high modulus starter pull cords translates to fewer breakages over the lifetime of an engine and therefore increased reliability.

Abstract: A statistical performance evaluation system for a thermodynamic device and process uses the achievable performance derived from statistics and real-time data for the device or process to evaluate the current performance of the device or process, and to adjust the operations of the device or process accordingly, or provide feedback to an operator or other monitoring system for taking corrective actions to obtain performance approaching the optimum achievable performance. The achievable performance of the device or process is derived from data collected during operational periods when the best achievable performance is anticipated, such as after maintenance is performed, and supersedes the ideal or design performance specified by the manufacturer, which typically does not represent the actual operating conditions in the field, as the basis for evaluating the real-time performance of the device. The statistical performance evaluation system may set desired upper and lower limits for performance parameters, and compare desired limits to the actual performance parameter values to determine the readjustment to be made to the operation of the device or process.

Abstract: The Internet DNS (Domain Name System) may be integrity protected with the deployment of the DNSSEC protocol extension at the root zone. The inventive methods allow a common DNSSEC-related cryptographic key configuration, also called trust anchor, to be used for a number of independent alternate root nameservice operators, each operating its own set of root nameservers. A single root signing entity feeds each nameserver operators with its own version of the signed DNS root zone. The inventive processes allow these versions to coexist on the public Internet gracefully.  It thus allows the load on root nameservers to be shared, and a DNS resolver to switch from one alternate nameservice operator to the other with minimal disturbance. The preferred embodiment is such that the exact same substantive root zone contents is delivered either by the official DNS root zone or an alternate root nameservice fed by an independent root signing entity.

Abstract: An injection device (30) has a housing (42, 52) with a recess for receiving a container (34) having a liquid to be injected (32). Furthermore, the device has a first organ (94) for pressing out the injection liquid (32) from such a container (34), and this first organ (94) has an outer threading (92). A dosing organ (66, 88) has an inner threading (90) which engages with the outer threading (92) of the first organ (94), and this dosing organ (66) can rotate together with the first organ (94) relative to the housing (42, 52) for the purpose of selecting a desired injection dosing. A coupling arrangement (K1) serves to produce a rotationally fixed connection between the first organ (94) and the housing (42, 52) during an injection process, and thereby to block a rotation of the first organ (94) relative to the housing (42, 52) during an injection process, however enabling a rotation of the dosing organ (66, 88) relative to the housing (42, 52). This rotation of the dosing organ (66, 88) produces an axial displacement of a first organ in the proximal direction, i.e., toward the patient, said organ being prohibited from rotating, in order to press injection liquid (32) out of such a container (34).
