Title: System and method for transfer of primary alarm notification on patient monitoring systems
Inventor: GILHAM JEFFREY JAY
IPC: G16H40/63
Filed: 2011-11-18
Abstract: The present application discloses methods and systems for transferring primary alarm notification on patient monitoring systems from a bedside monitor to one or more secondary devices which may operate on a less than fully reliable network. The bedside monitor includes an attached physiological parameter measurement device which detects when a specific physiological parameter measures outside a predetermined range. The bedside monitor then directs the secondary device(s) to annunciate its alarm. Primary alarming responsibility reverts from the secondary device(s) back to the bedside monitor whenever communication between the two is lost or when acknowledgement of the alarm condition by the secondary device is not relayed back to the bedside monitor within a predetermined amount of time.

Title: Galois field coding techniques
Inventor: GLIGOROSKI DANILO
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2014-06-27
Abstract: A method of generating a coded data packet in dependence on a plurality of source data packets comprises determining a plurality of data packets, for generating the coded data packet, from the source data packets, wherein each source data packets comprises the same number of bits; generating a multiplied data packet in dependence on one or more multiplication operations between a multiplication value and bits of one of the determined data packets; and generating a coded data packet by combining (bitwise XORing) the multiplied data packet and one or more of the other determined data packets that have not been multiplied. The multiplication operations are performed as operations in the finite field GF(p), where p is greater than 2, e.g. p = 4 or 8. The multiplication value is an element of the finite field GF(p) and is not 0 or 1. The coding scheme can be almost as computationally efficient as GF(2) and the likelihood of coded data packets being linearly independent is greatly increased.

Title: Broadcast service following using lookup table
Inventor: HUGH GRIFFITHS
IPC: H04H60/29
Filed: 2015-06-08
Abstract: A digital broadcast receiver 210 implements service following using locally saved service following information. The digital broadcast receiver 210 includes an interface configured to receive service following information specifying alternative broadcast signals containing the same or similar content. The service following information may be received from a user 402, or supplied from a remote server 408 via a portable internet-enabled device (such as a tablet or mobile phone 406), or via a computer readable medium 404 (such as a USB memory device). A storage module (308, figure 3) is configured to store the received service following information at the receiver 210. The digital broadcast receiver receives a digital broadcast signal whereupon a signal quality detection unit (306, figure 3) monitors the quality of the received digital broadcast signal. When the digital broadcast signal quality falls below an acceptable level/threshold, an alternate broadcast signal is received based on the locally stored service following information. The digital broadcast receiver may be a Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) receiver or other radio, television/video or multimedia broadcasting receiver (e.g. DRM,FM,RDS,DVB-H,DMB). The receiver is thus able to offer a continuous broadcast service when the selected signal quality deteriorates by using the locally stored service following information to switch to an alternative service providing the same or similar content. A method of implementing service following using a digital broadcast receiver is also described.

Title: Method and system for magnetic ranging and geosteering
Inventor: BURKAY DONDERICI
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2013-12-23
Abstract: As the easy-to-access and easy-to-produce hydrocarbon resources have been depleted over the last century, more and more difficult wells remain. Also, as global hydrocarbon demand is continuously growing, meeting this demand requires development of more advanced recovery procedures, often referred to in industry as complex recovery completions and production techniques. These techniques include, for example, Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage, Thermal Assisted Gravity Drainage, Toe to Heel Air Injection, Vaporized Hydrocarbon Solvent production and Fire Flooding. Such techniques address the mobility problem of the heavy oil wells by thermally and/or chemically altering the viscosity of the bitumen to allow for easy extraction.
