Abstract: A network management system, for example for use in a telecommunications network, includes a performance measurement tool for carrying out one or more performance measurements relating to physical or logical components of the network. A performance management controller includes a control unit, a list of performance measurement groups, a list of logical/physical components and a list of predefined time schedules. Upon receiving information indicating that a performance measurement threshold has been crossed, the control unit determines whether the group of performance measurements associated with that threshold is active, and if not, automatically activates the appropriate performance measurement group. In this way, the system is able to adaptively change the performance measurements in response to actual performance measurements, thereby ensuring that the most appropriate measurements are carried out.

Abstract: An air depolarized cell with at least one movable cathode element disposed in an active anode metal material which is in a fluid or paste state. The cathode element(s) continuously moves to maintain electrochemical proximity with active anode material as the active anode material is converted into electrochemical cell reaction product. In one embodiment, formation of cell reaction products of increased volume relative to initial anode volume serves to propel the movable cathode through the anode material. Viscosity of the fluid or anode paste is adjusted to ensure cathode movement relative to active anode for maximized utilization.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring the fluid status of a patient with kidney failure. In case of renal failure all forms of ingested fluid accumulate in body tissues causing increased stress on the circulatory system. This surplus fluid has to be removed during a dialysis treatment by ultrafiltration of the blood. The amount of this surplus fluid or the weight corrected for this surplus fluid, i.e. the dry weight, is an important parameter for managing the fluid status of a dialysis patient. According to the invention the dry weight Wgtdry(t) of a patient at a time t is determined by determining the extracellular water volume ECV(t) of the patient at the time t, by determining the weight Wgt(t) of the patient at the time t and by deriving the dry weight Wgtdry(t) of the patient as an intersection of a function derived from the determined ECV(t) and Wgt(t) values with a previously established extracellular water volume (ECV) against dry weight (Wgtdry) reference relation representing healthy subjects. To obtain more accurate results it is also proposed to take into account a fat mass correction  DELTA f(t). The invention also relates to a device for deriving the dry weight Wgtdry(t).
