Inventor: SNAMAN WILLIAM E JR
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: A blade-based distributed computing system, for applications such as a storage network system, is made highly-available. The blade server integrates several computing blades and a blade for a switch that connects to the computing blades. Redundant components permit failover of operations from one component to its redundant component. Configuration of one or more blade servers, such as assignment of high level network addresses to each blade, can be performed by a centralized process, called a configuration manager, on one blade in the system. High level network addresses can be assigned using a set of sequential network addresses for each blade server. A range of high level network addresses is assigned to each blade server. Each blade server in turn assigns high level network addresses to its blades. The high level network address for each blade can be mapped to its chassis identifier and slot identifier.  Configuration information also may include software version information and software upgrades. By distributing configuration information among the various components of one or more blade servers, configuration information can be accessed by any component that acts as the configuration manager.

Title: Real-time measurement of ventricular stroke volume variations by continuous arterial pulse contour analysis
Inventor: ROTELIUK LUCHY
IPC: A61B5/029
Filed: 2005-07-13
Abstract: Ventricular stroke volume variation (SVV) is estimated as a function of the standard deviation of arterial blood pressure value measured over each of at least two cardiac cycles, preferably over each of the cardiac cycles in a computation interval covering a full respiratory cycle. In one embodiment, maximum and minimum standard deviation values are determined over the computation interval. SVV is then estimated proportional to the ratio of the difference between the maximum and minimum standard deviation values and the mean of the standard deviation values. In another embodiment, SVV is then estimated proportional to the ratio of the standard deviation of the standard deviation values and the mean standard deviation over the entire computation interval. A pre-processing arrangement for improving reliability of estimates of more general cardiac or hemodynamic parameters is also disclosed and involves smoothing with an approximating function, and sampling and low-pass filtering at an adjustable rate.

Title: Casing resonant radial flexural modes in cement bond evaluation
Inventor: TANG XIAO MING
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2006-12-08
Abstract: A method useful for evaluating the presence and/or the quality of the cement bond of a downhole tubular. The method involves measuring radial resonance modes of the tubular, and comparing those measured values to the unbound tubular resonant values of a calibration ring. For a well bonded tubular, the measured radial resonance should be greater than that of the unbound tubular calibration ring. In regions where a fluid, such as water surrounds the outside of the tubular, or the cement is otherwise not bonded to the outer surface of the tubular, the measured response should be less than the calibrated response. The calibration ring should have the same diameter, wall thickness, and be made of the same material as the tubular.
