  • Publication number: 20130044111
    Abstract: The invention provides a dynamic central monitoring station having multiple touch screens for displaying numerical and graphical representation of vital statistics of one or more patients. The central monitoring station is connected to one or more bedside monitors and telemetry devices. The multiple touch screens are configurable to simultaneously display real time and historic patient data corresponding to a plurality of patients. One screen serves as a dedicated display screen for the review of individual patient data while the remaining screens continue to display vital statistics for all of the monitored patients.

  • Publication number: 20090277605
    Abstract: A data center cooling solution providing techniques for using baffles, doors and roof sections to prevent warm air from being entrained into a cold aisle in a data center, wherein the data center generally contains an air cooling system and a raised floor structure. The raised floor structure is configured to deliver cool air into the data center through a plurality of grates and perforated tiles in the floor. Electronic equipment racks are disposed around the grates and perforated tiles, such that the front faces of the equipment racks face the grates and perforated tiles. A collection of baffles, doors or roof sections inhibit the mixing of the cool air delivered by the air cooling system and the warm air exhausted by the electronic equipment.

  • Publication number: 20050097512
    Abstract: A method of developing a telecommunications service program using a plurality of service independent building blocks includes developing at least one service logic subroutine graph using a graphical interface. Each subroutine graph is inserted into a service graph and connected as required to other subroutine graphs and/or service independent building blocks in the service graph to form a service graph having an overall service logic process. Each subroutine graph may be assigned an icon, with the icon being inserted into the service graph and connected as required to other subroutines icons and/or service independent building blocks.
