Title: Neonatal illness severity/mortality computerized determination system & method
Inventor: RICHARDSON DOUGLAS K
IPC: G16H50/30
Filed: 1998-11-18
Abstract: A computerized method and system for measuring and determining severity of illness of a neonatal ICU patient uses a computer and a software program to process measured parameter values from preselected physical conditions. Measurement ranges for each measured physical condition are divided into contiguous zones; the contiguous zones are given predetermined weighting factors using the software program. The software program, using user inputs, optimally selects a single value of each measured physical condition from several measurements. The single selected value of each parameter is then modified using the software program. In one embodiment, for achieving the modification, the software program provides a predetermined weighting factor depending on the parameter value selection. For each selected measured value, an applicable zone and its predetermined weighting factor is determined to generate a modified partial score representing each measured physical condition. Values of modified partial scores for all the measured physical conditions are summed by the computer using the software program to provide an illness-severity measure which can be compared with data held in a database for similar patient population. As described in one embodiment, the physical conditions preselected are: lowest mean blood pressure, lowest pH, lowest temperature, lowest oxygenation ratio, urine output, and the presence of multiple seizures. Three additional measurements of birth weight, smallness for gestational age and low Apgar score, after optimal selection and modification as provided by the program, are used to provide a mortality rate assessment for a neonatal patient being monitored.

IPC: H04Q1/45
Filed: 1998-12-08
Abstract: On décrit un symbole d'entrée numérique transmis à un récepteur par détermination d'une ou plusieurs fréquences des formants correspondant au symbole d'entrée numérique. Dans une forme de réalisation, une mémoire adressée préprogrammée est mise en oeuvre pour mettre en correspondance l'ensemble de symboles d'entrée numériques possibles avec des unités vocales correspondantes, chaque appareil comprenant une superposition d'une ou plusieurs fréquences des formants. Un signal comprenant les unités vocales est ensuite généré. Ce signal est émis pour être transmis par le biais d'une voie téléphonique. Le signal peut aussi passer par un codeur de la parole avant sa transmission. Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, un code de correction d'erreur sans voie de retour (FEC) est déterminé pour le symbole d'entrée numérique, et l'unité vocale ou les unités vocales sont modifiées en fonction du code de correction d'erreur sans voie de retour. Ainsi, le FEC peut également être transmis avec le symbole d'entrée numérique codé. Cette modification peut avoir une incidence sur un quelconque d'un grand nombre d'attributs des unités vocales, y compris un attribut de volume ou un attribut de registre.

Abstract: To store and dilute paper fiber pulp with a high consistency, it is held in an initial storage zone (1) for the required dwell time. It is then passed into a second zone (2) for dilution into a pulp consistency which can be pumped. A circulation flow (3) is in the second zone (2), which takes off the high consistency pulp. It is then taken off as a suspension (S) through a sieve (5) held free by a cleaner (4). The high consistency paper fiber pulp has a crumble structure, formed of used paper for recycling which has been broken down, cleaned and then thickened. In the first zone (1), the pulp has a solid content of 20-40% to be bleached chemically. The pulp taken from the second zone (2) has a solid content of max. 8%. The cleaner (4) breaks down or grinds fiber clumps, and the cleaner (4) generates the circulation flow (3). The circulation flow (3) action is supported by a propeller (7), with its hydraulic propulsion on the same alignment as the sieve cleaner (4) so that the propeller (7) generates a pressure and the sieve cleaner (4) exerts a suction on the circulation flow (3). The propeller (7) and sieve cleaner (4) rotate in opposite directions, and face each other concentrically. The cleaner (4) develops a specific working level of 3-15 kWh/tonne. The paper fiber pulp is transferred from the first (1) to the second (2) zone through a steadily decreasing flow cross section surface, where the downstream flow cross section is max. 80% of the upstream flow cross section. The second zone (2) is placed under the first zone (1). An Independent claim is included for an assembly with a vessel to hold the paper fiber pulp. The second zone (2) has a stirring propeller (7) and a sieve assembly (8). The sieve unit (8) has at least one sieve (5) and a sieve cleaner (4), for the diluted paper fiber pulp to be taken through the sieve (5). Preferred Features: The propeller (7) and the sieve unit (8) are opposite each other, at the lower side walls of the vessel. The propeller (7) generates a horizontal propulsion flow, or the flow from the propeller (7) is at an angle of 0-30 degrees . The sieve (5) is a flat plate, with openings.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a carton from a
PET coated material having an initially separate base (42)
and side wall (44)
sections which are adhered together by melting the PET coating.
Subsequent application of pressure to
different areas of one or other of the base and/or side wall sections
ensures a secure bond therebetween. The invention lies in the
application of heat to the material and/or coating such that only
sections of board which are to be bonded together receive sufficient
heat to cause melting of the PET coating, the remaining surfaces
not being subjected to heat or only to an amount of heat which can
be withstood by the PET coating without compromise of the fluid
resistant properties of the PET coating. A hot air blast acutely
angled to the coating ensures the correct application of heat in the
desired areas. Heat-splash and other problems caused by over
heating are thus avoided.
