  • Method and apparatus for concurrently displaying respective images representing real-time data and non real-time data
    Patent number: 6793625
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for concurrently displaying respective images representing real-time data and non-real-time data operates by receiving non-real-time data and receiving real-time data. A windowing operating system is executed for controlling the operation of an application program which is responsive to the non-real-time data, for conditioning a display device to display respective images representing the non-real-time data. A real-time display process is executed concurrently with, but independently from, the windowing operating system, for conditioning the display device to display respective images representing the real-time data concurrently with the display of the non-real-time data.

  • Fully integrated critical care workstation
    Publication number: 20020077864
    Abstract: A critical care workstation includes a display device and a processor, coupled to the display device. The processor executes both a general purpose operating system controlling execution of a selected program for displaying images representing non-real-time data on the display device, and a real-time kernel, controlling execution of a program for displaying images representing real-time data on the display device simultaneously with the display of the non-real-time data. In addition circuitry, responsive to user input, selects a non-real-time display program to execute under the control of the general purpose operating system from among a plurality of available non-real-time display programs.
