Abstract: A universal/upgrading pulse oximeter (UPO) (210) comprises a portable unit (610) and a docking station (660, 910) together providing three-instruments-in-one functionality for measuring oxygen saturation and related physiological parameters. The portable unit functions as a handheld pulse oximeter. The combination of the docked portable and the docking station functions as a stand-alone, high-performance pulse oximeter. The portable-docking station combination is also connectable to, and universally compatible with, pulse oximeters from various manufacturers through use of a waveform generator (320, 930). The UPO provides a universal sensor to pulse oximeter interface and a pulse oximeter measurement capability that upgrades the performance of conventional instruments by increasing low perfusion performance and motion artifact immunity, for example. Universal compatibility combined with portability allows the UPO to be transported along with patients transferred between an ambulance and a hospital ER, or between various hospital sites, providing continuous patient monitoring in addition to plug-compatibility and functional upgrading for multiparameter patient monitoring systems. The image on the portable display (264, 740) is rotatable, either manually when undocked or as a function of orientation (950), In one embodiment, the docking station (660) has a web server and network interface (1410) that allows UPO data to be downloaded and viewed as web pages over a local area network (1420) or the Internet.

Abstract: The system of the invention analyzes <i>how</i> the action potential is interrupted by drugs or toxins. Differences in the action potentials are due to individual toxins acting on different biochemical pathways, which in turn affects different ion channels, thereby changing the peak shape of the action potential differently for each toxin. Algorithms to analyze the action potential peak shape differences are used to indicate the pathway(s) affected by the presence of a new drug or compound; from that, aspects of its function in that cell are deduced. This observation can be exploited to determine the functional category of biochemical action of an unknown compound. An important aspect of the invention is surface chemistry that permits establishment of a high impedance seal between cell and a metal microelectrode. This seal recreates the interface that enables functional patch-clamp electrophysiology with glass micropipettes, and allows extracellular electrophysiology on a microelectrode array.

Abstract: A system for capturing an electronic message is disclosed. The system includes a printer, a sensing device and a computer system. The printer prints on a substrate user information visible to a user and coded tags invisible to the user. Each coded tag encodes an identity unique to the substrate and a location of the coded tag on the substrate. The user information defines a message area on the substrate. The sensing device senses the coded tags on the substrate when the sensing device is moved relative to the substrate. The computer system electronically captures a message composed with the sensing device via movement of the sensing device relative to the message area, the computer system using the identity of the substrate and a sequence of respective locations of coded tags sensed by the sensing device for determining the movement relative to the message area and the message.

Abstract: A low power local alarm indicating system for interconnectable detectors enables a viewer to, after the fact, determine which detector or detectors had previously gone into a local alarm. An alarm latch (22-ia) such as a bistable multivibrator circuit, is set each time the respective detector goes into a local alarm. Subsequently, if the detector's test switch (30-i) is activated, a local alarm visual indicator is provided. In a disclosed embodiment, the indication is provided by the blinking of a light emitting diode (28-i) on the detector, for a predetermined interval. Where multiple detectors are interconnected, each detector that goes into alarm not only sets its local alarm latch (22-ia) and emits a local alarm, it also generates an interconnect alarm signal to the remaining interconnected detectors. The interconnected detectors go into alarm at least for as long as the interconnect signal is present. If any detector in interconnect alarm receives sufficient local input to go into a local alarm, the respective smoke latch (24-i) will be set even in the presence of an interconnect input. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A reversing alarm for a vehicle emits an audible signal in the form of pulses of broad band sound when the vehicle is put into reverse gear. The broad band sound allows persons in the vicinity to locate the vehicle, as the human brain is able to process broad band sound to pinpoint the location of the sound source in a way which is not possible with single tone sounds. The alarm is implemented via a simple electronic circuit which uses a zener diode as a signal generator 20 to generate the broad band sound.

Abstract: An encoded signal that comprises a plurality of received encoded signal values is received by using an error correction decoding technique to generate a plurality of decoded signals from the encoded signal, wherein the plurality of decoded signals includes one or more decoded information signals and one or more decoded error detection signals. A correction value is generated that is representative of how much correction was performed by the error correction decoding technique to generate the plurality of decoded signals. The one or more decoded error detection signals are used to generate an error detection result. The decoded information signals are then alternatively accepted or rejected as a function of the error detection result and a comparison of the correction value with a threshold value.

Abstract: A pulse oximeter (210) has an integrated mode in which it operates as a plug-in module for a multiparameter patient monitoring system (MPMS) (250). The pulse oximeter (210) also has a portable mode in which operates separately from the MPMS (250) as a battery-powered handheld or standalone instrument. The pulse oximeter (210) has a sensor port that receives a photo-plethysmographic signal as input to an internal processor. The pulse oximeter processes this sensor signal to derive oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements. In the portable mode, this information is provided on its display (340), and stored in memory for trend capability. A keypad (510) provides a user interface for operational control in the portable mode.; In the integrated mode, the pulse oximeter provides oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements to the MPMS (250) through a communications interface, along with previously stored trend data, and displayed on the MPMS monitor. The MPMS (250) also provides external power and operational control of the pulse oximeter (210) in the integrated mode. Alternatively, a docking station (660) operates as a plug-in module that provides the mechanical and electrical interface between a portable pulse oximeter (610) and MPMS instruments from a variety of manufacturers. In the integrated mode, the portable pulse oximeter (610) docks to the docking station (660), which in turn is inserted in one or more MPMS slots (290). The docking station (660) can function as a simple electrical pass-through device between the docked portable pulse oximeter (610) and the MPMS (250) or it can provide a MPMS communications interface.

Abstract: A semiconductor device, such as a MOSFET or PN diode rectifier, has a p-n junction (24) between a first device region (23) and an underlying voltage-sustaining zone (20). Trenched field-shaping regions (40) extend through the voltage-sustaining zone (20) to improve the voltage-blocking and on-resistance characteristics of the device. The trenched field-shaping region (40) comprises a resistive path (42) accommodated in a trench (41) that has an insulating layer (44) at its side-walls. The insulating layer (44) dielectrically couples potential from the resistive path (42) to the voltage-sustaining zone (20) that is depleted in a voltage-blocking mode of operation of the device. The insulating layer (44) extends at the side-walls of the trench (41) to an upper level (81) that is higher than a lower level (82) at which the resistive path (42) starts in the trench (41). This lower level (82) is more closely aligned to the p-n junction (24) and is protected by the insulating layer (44) extending to the higher level (81). This construction enables the electric field distribution in the voltage-sustaining zone (20) to be improved by aligning very closely the start of the potential drop along the resistive path (42) with the p-n junction depth (d).
