Abstract: Adhesive pad systems that provide longer lasting adherence of the mounting unit to the host's skin are provided. Some systems include a reinforcing overlay that at least partially covers the adhesive pad. The reinforcing overlay may be removable without disturbing the sensor so that the overlay may be replaceable.

Abstract: A configurable computer resource usage system for collecting hardware and software usage from computer systems with various operating systems, aggregating and filtering the data, transferring it to a centralized computer system, and performing analysis to determine if a hardware or software upgrade is needed. A computer software product that executes on a client computer workstation and collects performance data relevant to that specific machine and data indicating the versions of software and hardware components installed on that machine. A centralized computer that receives the performance and versioning data, stores it, aggregates it with other static data, and performs analysis to determine if the client computer is an upgrade candidate. A graphical user interface displaying the analysis and relevant summarized data is provided through one of several methods, including a web browser accessing the data over the Internet or LAN or WAN.

Abstract: A high speed, low cost real time graphic image printing system includes a host data processing system, a laser printer having a plug connector for receiving a font cartridge storing information defining an image of a printable character, and a cartridge pluggably connected to the font cartridge plug connector. A first communication path carries print commands from the host to the printer while a second communication path carries image defining information between the host and the data store. In operation the host writes information defining a portion of an image to be printed into a portion of the data store corresponding to a selected character and then commands the printing of the selected character. A ping-pong double buffer arrangement allows the host to write a next image portion while information defining a current image portion is read by the printer to form a print image.

Abstract: A high speed, low cost real time graphic image printing system includes a host data processing system, a laser printer having a font cartridge port, a font cartridge that is writable in real time by the host to facilitate high speed printing of graphic images and an expander cartridge. The expander cartridge plugs into the printer font cartridge port and in turn provides ports for pluggably receiving both a read only font cartridge and a real time font cartridge that is writable by the host. The expander cartridge serves as a multiplexer to couple a selected one of the two font cartridges to the printer.
