Abstract: To provide a dimmer switch capable of switching between on and off states and between low beam and high beam of a light by a same operation, and free from an erroneous operation. A dimmer switch takes the form of a rotary switch including a stationary portion fixed to a vehicle and an operable rotary portion, and is constructed such that switching between a high beam position and a low beam position is made by a rotational operation in opposite directions at a same position in an axial direction of the rotary portion. In addition, the rotary portion is slidable in the axial direction, and a rotational operation to switch from the low beam position to the off position can not be made without the sliding movement of the rotary portion. Hence, switching from one of the high beam, low beam, and off positions to another can be made by a same rotational operation, while an erroneous operation to switch to the off state when a switching from high beam to low beam is to be made is prevented. Further, when biasing means to act against the sliding movement is provided and/or when the sliding movement is enabled even from the high beam position, user-friendliness is enhanced.

Abstract: The invention relates to cardiac-activity based prediction of a rapid drop in a patient's blood pressure during extracorporeal blood treatment. A proposed alarm apparatus (100) includes a primary beat morphology analysis unit (120), a bank of secondary analysis units (B2) and an alarm generating unit (158).  The primary beat morphology analysis unit (120) discriminates heart beats in a received basic electrocardiogram signal (HECG), classifies each beat into one out of at least two different beat categories, and associates each segment of the signal (HECG) with relevant event-type data. The event-type data and the basic electrocardiogram signal (HECG) together form an enhanced electrocardiogram signal (ECGCL), based upon which the primary beat morphology analysis unit (120) determines whether one or more secondary signal analyses should be performed. Depending on the enhanced electrocardiogram signal's (ECGCL) properties, the bank of secondary analysis units (B2) performs none, one or more of up to at least two different types of secondary analyses, and for each analysis performed produces a respective test signal (PHRV, PEBC, PHRT) - The alarm generating unit (158) receives the test signals (PHRV, PEBC, PHRT) , and triggers an alarm signal (.alpha.) indicative of an estimated rapid blood pressure decrease, if at least one alarm criterion is fulfilled.
