Abstract: The invention relates to a patient's device having an at least unidirectional, wireless interface for receiving a data signal. The wireless interface is adapted to receive medical or operational data from a medical device, in particular an implantable medical device like a cardiac pacemaker or a cardioverter/defibrillator, a data communication interface for accessing a wide area network or a public telecommunication network or both. The device comprises an automatic routing/dialling module connected to the data communication interface, adapted to establish an automatic access to a modem connected to the data communication interface by automatically selecting one of a plurality of possible connection parameters. The connection parameters are selected from at least one of an individual modem, if more than one modem is connected to the data communication interface, and a prefix number for a remote access to a remote device over a public network automatically selecting a dial-up telephone number.

Abstract: An off-ridge roof vent includes a hood open along the sides and front and a rear flange for mounting the hood to a roof. A pair of side walls each includes lower flanges to mount to a flat roof and upper bent tabs that fit under the hood to provide a tight fit between the walls and hood. A front baffle wall extends upwardly from a flange and opening and extends under the hood and terminates in a channel to mount one edge of a screen and another channel is formed in a subtending wall from the hood to mount the other edge of the screen to prevent the entry of debris into the vented roof space. All of the flanges are connected and are in the same plane so that the vent may be attached to a flat roof.
