Abstract: A multi-port communication device having a plurality of serial interfaces and a plurality of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) interfaces is provided. Data is received from one or more medical devices at a serial interface of the plurality of serial interfaces and communicated to a healthcare information system via a TCP interface of the plurality of TCP interfaces. The multi-port communication device can be remotely managed by a remote device via a set of management tools. In embodiments, the set of management tools run locally on the multi-port communication device. The multi-port communication device may additionally comprise locally installed drivers that enable communication with the healthcare information system via TCP.

Abstract: An electronic musical chord calculator suitable for embodiment using integrated circuitry, has finger-actuatable devices for specifying notes (13) and chords (14). A display (11) has indicator devices (12) for each note of any chord to be specified. Logic circuitry (m21) serves to produce one chord automatically and immediately. Other logic circuitry (m21) serves to produce other chords by logic operations to add or substract notes relative to the basic chord. Other embodiments produce all required chords for one note automatically and immediately, then produce chords for other notes by shift operations (29) from the chords for the one note.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of locating a rectangular board including a printed circuit board on a support for correctly positioning the board relative to an electrical component inserting machine which inserts terminals of the components into pre-drilled holes in the printed circuit board. The board is provided with one V-shaped notch in the center of each of its end edges and in one of its side edges. The board is disposed roughly in position on the support which has three retractable spring loaded locators thereon in positions corresponding to the notches, and retractable spring loaded abutment pad. Rough positioning of the board on the support is assisted by a pair of diagonally opposed right angle guides on the support. The board is mounted on the support with the locators and the pad retracted. Then the locator at the end edges of the board are released so that V-shaped wedges thereon engage in the respective notches in the end edges of the board.

Abstract: A baler for car bodies using a simultaneous compression and cutting of the car body to produce in a working chamber of the baler a partly compressed bale which is then reduced to final dimensions in the working chamber by further compression stages.
