Abstract: A differential measurement system using pairs of Bragg gratings including at least one optical sensor having two Bragg gratings in two optical waveguides and having sensitivities adjusted so that respective spectra of the two gratings have a relative spectral shift dependent on a parameter or parameters to be measured. The system also includes an optical source to supply light to the two optical waveguides to interrogate them, a mechanism enabling light to pass successively through the two Bragg gratings of the same sensor, photodetectors to measure the power level of light having passed only through one of the two optical waveguides and the power level of light having passed successively through the two optical waveguides, and a processor to process the power levels and supply values of the parameter or parameters measured. The system is applicable in particular to measurements of temperatures, stresses, and pressures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for establishing a path, having a certain QOS-class, between a modem and an edge node over a communications network. The communications network comprises an Access Multiplexer and an Ethernet aggregation network, where the Access Multiplexer couples the modem to the Ethernet aggregation network. The modem is coupled to the Access Multiplexer over at least one ATM connection. The modem forwards an ARP request, that is received from a host terminal, for an address of the edge Node over an ATM having a certain QOS-class. The Access Multiplexer intercepts the ARP request that is forwarded by the modem and assigns a chosen address for the edge node based on information on the edge node that is contained in the ARP request. Subsequently, the Access Multiplexer includes this chosen address in an ARP reply. The modem receives the ARP reply that contains the address of the edge node on the ATM connection having the certain QOS class and the modem retrieves the address and subsequently stores this address together with an identification of the connection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A phase analysis technique provides for quantification of regional wall motion asynchrony from endocardial border contours generated from two-dimensional echocardiographic ventricular images. The technique produces results including a degree of radial ventricular asynchrony in heart failure patients with ventricular conduction delay to predict a magnitude of contractile function improvement with pacing therapy. Quantification of change in ventricular regional wall motion asynchrony in response to a therapy provides for a means to identify candidates to receive the therapy and quantitatively predict the benefit of the therapy. Quantification of changes in ventricular regional wall motion asynchrony in response to a sequence of therapies provides for a means to determine an approximately optimal therapy for an intended patient response.
