Abstract: A centralized patient monitoring system includes a central station (20) which receives patient information from bedside monitors (10, 12, 18). The patient information is presented on a video display screen (44) and may include patient demographic information (60, 62, 64), physiological parameters (72) and a waveform (68). The display screen is divided into sectors (56, 57, 58, 59), with each sector containing information for one patient. When an alarm condition occurs at one of the bedside monitors (10, 12, 18), the alarm condition (76) is transmitted to the central station (20) and is displayed in the corresponding sector (59) of the video display screen (44). In addition, the alarm condition is highlighted by changing the background in the alarming sector (59) from its normal color, typically black, to a neutral color such as blue, which is easily distinguishable from the normal color and which does not obscure the patient information being displayed.

Abstract: In the DPCM predictive coding of frame sequences, the prediction error is determined from past prediction values. In the method according to the invention, a current prediction value (Pn) is determined from a past prediction value (Pn-1) and the difference of two past prediction values (Pn-1, Pn-2) in a normal case. When edges occur, in contrast, only one past prediction value (Pn-1) is utilised. Due to this measure, an oscillation of the prediction error can be prevented. The method according to the invention also allows the sampling frequency to be selected independently of the colour subcarrier, which facilitates the accommodation of the DPCM signals in an SDH container. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To ensure interference-free transmission of digital information, oscillators with a high quality factor and reliability and a long life are needed. For these purposes, voltage-controlled oscillators are used which are tuned via a microprocessor and a digital/analogue converter and are part of a phase-locked loop. In these arrangements, a compromise must be found between control range and stability, the control characteristic is not linear and resolution is limited by the step length of the digital/analogue converter. In the method according to the invention and the circuit arrangement used for it, an oscillator is specified, the frequency of which can be varied linearly within a wide control range without influencing the stability of the oscillator. The circuit is supplied with a conventional 5-V operating voltage. For this purpose the frequency of a fixed-frequency generator (1) is divided to the desired frequency by means of a frequency divider (2), the divider ratio of which can be varied in very small steps, and the resultant jitter is filtered by means of a simple phase-locked loop (3). The oscillator can be universally used as clock generator in all digital circuit arrangements.

Abstract: This invention relates to driving solenoid and motor loads while providing the means for fast turn on and fast turn off. Many applications including automotive fuel injector drivers, Anti--Skid Braking (ABS) solenoid and motor drivers, and other electro-mechanical motion control require the ability to quickly turn on or off a number of devices. The invention utilizes a bridge architecture to drive the loads and to turn on and off individual devices. The invention employs a diode and a switch for each device controlled plus a single master diode and a single master switch. The invention thereby reduces the number of components needed to control N devices to 2 * N+2 from prior art half bridge circuit 4 * N. Novel techniques and algorithms are used to multiplex the single master switch and control multiple inductive devices. The system provides redundant control and error checking means to preclude single point failure mechanisms.

Abstract: A bidirectional current blocking lateral MOSFET including a source and a drain which are not shorted to a substrate, and voltages that are applied to the source and drain are both higher than the voltage at which the body is maintained (for an N-channel MOSFET) or lower than the voltage at which the body is maintained (for a P-channel MOSFET). The on-resistance of the MOSFET is improved by decreasing the conductance of the epi region and disposing a thin threshold adjust layer on the surface of the substrate between the oxide layer and a channel of the body region separating the source and drain regions. An optional second punchthrough preventing implant is disposed on the substrate surface.
