Abstract: Device for measuring the respiration of a person is provided with a strap (1), which can be applied so that it fits around the upper body of the person, and a detector for measuring the variation in the circumference of the upper body caused by respiration. The detector supplies a measurement signal corresponding to this variation to a processing circuit which controls a display device (13) for displaying this variation. The strap (1) is made of an elastic material and can be fitted around the upper body under a desired pre-tension. The detector comprises an elongated element (4) made of non-stretchable material, preferably a cord, which at least virtually extends over the entire length of the strap (1) and is supported by the strap (1). One end of the cord (4) is rigidly coupled to the strap (1) and the other end actuates a transducer (6), which transforms the movement of the element (4) relative to the strap (1) into the measurement signal, which is supplied to the processing circuit.

Abstract: Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different program lengths of one half to one-and-one half hours or more. Because of the widely varying length of the cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changed in the screen (10). By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided. A conventional offset shadow (34) which is a black bar underlines the entire cell and wraps around the right edge of the cell. To tag the underlying position which defines where the cursor (32) is and thus, where it will move next portions (36) of the black bar outside the current underlying position are segmented, while the current position is painted solid.

At precisely determined times, each node generates and transmits a test signal to the associated DUT terminal or samples a DUT output signal produced at the DUT terminal. Each node includes memory for storing algorithmic instructions for generating a set of commands indicating when a test signal is to be transmitted to the associated terminal and indicating when a DUT output at the associated node is to be sampled. Each node also includes a processor for processing the algorithmic instructions to produce the commands. Each node further includes circuits responsive to the commands for transmitting the test signals to the associated DUT terminal and for sampling the DUT output signal produced at the associated DUT terminal at times indicated by the commands. The processing nodes are interconnected in serial fashion to form a network for conveying the algorithmic instructions to the memory of each node and for conveying signals for synchronizing operations of the processing nodes. The nodes contain circuitry to start and stop operations in a unified manner so that the serially connected nodes act as if connected in parallel.
