IPC: H04W88/16
Filed: 2013-09-27
Abstract: A communication system 1 is disclosed comprising a gateway 8 and a number of base stations 5-1, 5-2, 5-3 communicating, via the gateway, in accordance with a base station to base station application protocol. The gateway receives a message from a first base station, destined for a second base station. The message comprises (a) information for the second base station, in a first part of the message; and (b) an identifier of the second base station (target ID), in a second part of the message other than the first part. The gateway can obtain from the received message the second base stations identifier without the gateway being required to decode the information from the first part of the message. The gateway routes the message to the second base station identified by the obtained identifier.

Title: Apparatus and method for detecting health deterioration
Inventor: FORTUN RIGOBERTO PEREZ DE ALEJO
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2013-11-01
Abstract: An apparatus for detecting deteriorating health of a patient receiving gas from a respiratory device comprises a sensor unit 11 configured to monitor flow rate or pressure of a gas flowing in a pipe connecting the respiratory device to the patient. A processor 122 is configured to measure a respiratory rate of the patient based on variations in the flow rate or pressure of gas in the pipe, implement a trend analysis of the measured respiratory rate and generate a warning when it determines that there is an upward trend in the measured respiratory rate and that a magnitude of the trend exceeds a threshold. The trend analysis carried out by the processor may involve calculating a C-statistic for the measured respiratory rate. The measured respiratory rate may be compared with a characteristic respiratory rate. In an embodiment a differential pressure sensor (1111, figure 2) having first and second pneumatic input ports (1112, 1113 figure 2) may be used. One of the pneumatic input ports may be configured to receive a flow of gas from a point in pipe and delay the flow of gas that flows from the pipe to the differential pressure sensor.

Title: Spatially correlated dynamic focusing
Inventor: BROWN JEFFERY MARK
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2014-03-05
Abstract: A time of flight mass analyzer is disclosed comprising a device arranged to apply a DC voltage pulse to one or more electrodes so as to cause ions to be accelerated into a TOF or drift region, said DC pulse being applied to said electrodes between times T1 and T2. A second device is arranged to apply a single phase oscillating voltage to said electrodes which undergoes multiple oscillations between times T1 and T2, and preferably comprises a sinusoidal, sawtooth or triangular waveform.
