Abstract: A wireless application GUI is described as a set of atomic screen components. The
application screens are defined through a structured language such as XML, HTML or
XHTML and are expressed as a collection of nested layouts and UI controls.
Representation of these visual components is facilitated through the use of an intelligent
Device Runtime framework that provides a set of services for screen presentation,
management and user interaction. The designation of the screen components provides for
an interactive and dynamic UI, and provides for delegation of some of the user interface
management to the intelligent Device Runtime framework. The screen components utilize
conditional controls in the wireless application definition. Conditional controls are
dynamic screen elements that determine their appearance or behavior by virtue of
satisfying a particular condition. Conditional controls include so-called driving (primary)
and dependent (secondary) controls that modify application runtime screen behavior.

Abstract: A medical device detects a previously defined event, and controls delivery of therapy to a patient according to therapy information associated with the previously defined event. In exemplary embodiments, the medical device enters a learning mode in response to a command received from a user, e.g., the patient or a clinician. In such embodiments, the medical device defines the event, collects the therapy information, and associates the therapy information with the defined event while operating in the learning mode. In some embodiments, the medical device defines the event based on the output of a sensor that indicates a physiological parameter of the patient during the learning mode. The sensor may be an accelerometer, which generates an output that reflects motion and/or posture of the patient. The medical device may collect therapy information by recording therapy changes made by the user during the learning mode.

Abstract: A rapid simulation is made to create an illuminated scene of object with a simplified arithmetic of calculating an intended color change effect. The object illuminated with lighting fixtures are divided into discrete elements each having a lamp-by-element table defining lamp color component values of each of the influencing lighting fixtures. In accordance with the changes in the output characteristic and/or the position of the lighting fixture, it is determined which one or ones of the discrete elements are influenced by the changes. Then, the lamp-by-element tables only associated with thus determined elements are picked up in order to modify the color component values as a function of the changing output characteristic and the position of the influencing lighting fixture. The resulting color components at each discrete element are then processed to provide a color distribution over the array of the elements for rendering the view of the illuminated scene.

Abstract: The invention relates to a driver for a pneumatic ventricular assistance device (VAD) which is actuated by pressurised air, oxygen or any other gas that is commonly available in hospital rooms, intensive care units and operating theatres. The inventive driver can supply both blood ejection pressure (systole) and blood filling vacuum pressure (diastole) to the VAD. According to the invention, the driver is controlled by a digital/computer controller by means of pressure and volume sensors and electromechanical valves. The ventricular pumping is performed by a single spring-driven bellows or piston. Moreover, the computer can actively regulate the maximum systolic ventricular pressure, the maximum diastolic pressure drop, the rhythm of the cycles and/or the ej ection volume (depending on the operating mode). The driver can also ventilate the drive conduit automatically and periodically in order to remove condensation and vitiated air therefrom. The device comprises no motor nor electrical pump and, as a result, is small, reliable, easy to manage and less expensive.
