Filed: 1999-02-26
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de régulation du rythme cardiaque qui fournit une caractéristique de gain non linéaire. Ce système fonctionne sans commutateurs d'occultation qui déconnectent ces entrées des électrodes pendant l'application des impulsions de stimulation ou de recharge. La caractéristique de gain non linéaire comprend des caractéristiques de gain linéaires par morceaux et des caractéristiques de gain logarithmiques. Des signaux dont les amplitudes sont inférieures à une tension de seuil d'entrée sont amplifiés par des signaux dont les amplitudes sont supérieures à la tension de seuil d'entrée. Des signaux intrinsèques d'activité cardiaque sont amplifiés. Les impulsions de stimulation détectées sont atténuées. Ce système peut détecter une réponse évoquée de façon à déterminer si une impulsion de stimulation a réussi à provoquer une contraction cardiaque. Les techniques de saisie automatique permettent d'ajuster l'énergie de l'impulsion de stimulation sur la base de la réponse évoquée.

Title: Initial heater control for radiant infant warmer
Inventor: FALK STEVEN M
IPC: H05B1/02
Filed: 2000-11-14
Abstract: A system and method for controlling the initial start up of a radiant heater used in an infant care apparatus. The system and method provides power to the radiant heater in excess of the 100% rated power of the heater for an initial period of time to cause a more rapid heating of the heater. The system utilizes an initial set power for the heater to determine the period of time that the heater is provided the excess power and discontinues that excess power after the determined period of time so tha the control of the heater is returned to a normal heating algorithm to thereafter provide the control of power to the heater. By use of the excess power upon initial start-up of the radiant heater, the heater more rapidly provides heat to an infant being cared for in the infant care apparatus. In the preferred embodiment, the system and method is used with an infant care apparatus that can be converted from an incubator function to a infant warmer by moving a radiant heater from a lower position where it is not activated to an upper position where the radiant heater is activated.

Title: Commande d'admission de connexions en fonction de la bande passante et de l'utilisation d'une memoire tampon
Inventor: ANDERSEN IB
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique de commande d'admission de connexions (CAC) pour un noeud de télécommunications, donnant une approximation de la probabilité de pertes en utilisant une fonction logarithmique génératrice des moments et ses deux dérivées partielles de la charge de travail sur une file d'attente sur un intervalle de temps. L'approximation utilise quatre variables d'état dépendant de la fonction logarithmique génératrice des moments et de ses deux dérivées partielles. Les quatre variables d'état sont: (1) un terme linéaire approchant le taux de perte logarithmique au point de fonctionnement; (2) l'argument du terme logarithmique approchant le taux de perte logarithmique au point de fonctionnement; (3) une limite de mémoire tampon utilisée au point de fonctionnement; et (4) un multiplicateur de trafic imaginaire utilisé au point de fonctionnement. Ces variables d'état varient linéairement en fonction du trafic, de manière qu'une nouvelle connexion viendrait simplement ajouter ses contributions. La commande d'admission de connexions (CAC) utilise ces variables d'état en vue d'obtenir les trois paramètres suivants: (1) une approximation q = z - log(c) du logarithme de la probabilité de perte; (2) une capacité limite B de la mémoire tampon; et (3) un multiple m du trafic imaginaire obtenu à partir d'un jeu d'essai de mise au point. Le trafic de toutes les connections est admissible dès que quatre conditions sont réunies. La présente invention s'applique notamment à un file d'attente ou un serveur uniques, et peut être généralisée à des files d'attentes et serveurs multiples.
