Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described that enable user interface virtualization for any of a wide variety of applications and computing environments. A system for providing virtual user interfaces over a network, comprises one or more servers deployed on the network and a plurality of clients. The servers manage operation of a plurality of virtual frame buffers and a plurality of user interface applications and associate each of the user interface applications with a corresponding one of the virtual frame buffers. Each user interface application is configured to render a corresponding graphical user interface to the corresponding virtual frame buffer. The servers establish a first dedicated, persistent, bi-directional connection with each of the clients to conduct a virtual user interface session and allocate one of the virtual frame buffers to each of the clients, forward updates, including transparency information, of the graphical user interface from each virtual frame buffer to the corresponding client. The servers receive user input from each client and provide the user input to the corresponding user interface application.

Abstract: It has been discovered that high amplitude, low frequency, broadband spectrum pressure oscillations of sufficient time duration can help stabilize lung volumes and improve gas exchange in a patient receiving ventilation assistance by helping to recruit and stabilize alveoli. A novel device is presented which can produce pressure oscillations having high amplitudes, a low broad-band frequency spectrum and long time duration. Additionally, the device can maintain a patient's mean airway pressure at one or more controlled levels. The device can control the oscillatory amplitude, frequency range and composition, time duration, and mean airway pressure levels by adjusting certain device parameters, such as the angle and depth of the device in a fluid. A device and mechanical system for remotely adjusting and measuring the angle of the device in a fluid are also disclosed. Furthermore, a device and system are disclosed that can deliver pressure oscillations having high amplitudes, a low broad-band frequency spectrum, long time duration, and multiple mean airway inspiratory and expiratory pressure levels.

Abstract: The gyrolaser has an activating unit activating the gyrolaser in an oscillatory movement by converting an oscillation electrical signal (306) into a mechanical force. A measuring unit measures angular velocity of the gyrolaser. A deriving unit derives a phase over a preset period of time to produce a signal comprising overall movement information for the gyrolaser. An activation locking loop (130) locks activation of the gyrolaser onto the oscillatory movement, and receives the signal. The locking loop produces the electrical signal whose amplitude is locked onto a preset amplitude setpoint. The activating unit is selected from a group consisting of a mechanical activation wheel (135) i.e. mass-spring type mechanical device, and a piezoelectric motor.
