Abstract: The present invention relates to a signaling system, methods and computer program products for increasing data rate of addressable lighting networks (e.g. DALI networks). A bus clamping technique is suggested to allow fast data communication without affecting operation of normal network devices. The proposed scheme is useful in applications such as outdoor luminaires where the network data rate is too low for use cases that require 5 real-time microphone or image data transfer, for example.

Abstract: A threshold value or range of values for results of a test used to assign patients to a particular level of treatment for a clinical condition is determined based on historical information on a plurality of patients having the clinical condition. The historical information may include values for the test performed on the patients, information on the treatment level for the clinical condition provided to the patients, information on the outcome of the clinical condition for the patients, and information on the cost associated with providing each of the treatment levels to the patients. The threshold value or range of values for results of the test is determined from the historical information, with the threshold value or range of values indicating the most cost effective treatment level for a given test result.

Abstract: There is provided a system for determining a threshold value or range of values for results of a test used to assign patients to a particular level of treatment for a clinical condition, the system comprising one or more databases storing historical information on a plurality of patients having the clinical condition, the information including values for the test performed on the patients, information on the treatment level for the clinical condition provided to the patients, there being a plurality of available treatment levels for the clinical condition, information on the outcome of the clinical condition for the patients and information on the cost associated with providing each of the treatment levels to the patients; and a processing module in communication with said one or more databases, the processing module determining a threshold value or range of values for results of the test from the information in said one or more databases, with the threshold value or range of values indicating the most cost e

Abstract: A method for recording a movie (30) is described, the method comprising the steps of: —receiving a broadcasted video stream (10; 31); —recording the received video stream on an information carrier (2RE); —receiving additional metadata (32), preferably via internet (40); —recording the received metadata (32) on the information carrier (2RE) in association with the video recording (31).

Abstract: Method, end user system, transmission system, computer software product and broadcasted signal for enhancing the user experience of a broadcast via an interactive playback combining a broadcasted signal with a signal comprising additional information stored locally. A broadcasted software application detects the presence in the end user system (for example a set top box or a digital television set) of a suitable media player (for example a Blu-ray Disc player) and of a desired media (for example BD-ROM) and consequently enhances the broadcast by using the content stored on the media.
