  • Publication number: 20110246222
    Abstract: A client device facilitates review of electrocardiogram (ECG) tests. The client device performs the ECG tests on one or more patients and sends results of the ECG tests to an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system for storage. In addition, the client device displays a test history interface on a display screen. A user of the client device can select one of the ECG tests. In response, the client device communicates with one or more devices to retrieve results of the selected ECG test. The client device displays information about the selected ECG test on the display screen.

  • Publication number: 20110071420
    Abstract: A device obtains a series of measurements of a physiological parameter of a monitored patient when the device is operating within a monitoring workflow. The device displays a monitoring workflow home screen when the device is operating within the monitoring workflow. The monitoring workflow home screen contains a representation of the physiological parameter of the monitored patient. In addition, the device obtains a measurement of the physiological parameter of each patient in a series of patients when the device is operating within a non-monitoring workflow. The device displays a non-monitoring workflow home screen when the device is operating within the non-monitoring workflow. The non-monitoring workflow home screen contains a representation of the physiological parameter of a given patient in the series of patients. The monitoring workflow home screen is different than the non-monitoring workflow home screen.

  • Patent number: 7206831
    Abstract: A programmable data filtering/searching system for use with a data network. The primary programmable hardware-based filtering and searching portions of the system are integrated onto the same printed circuit board as the data storage device to facilitate efficient filtering and searching of data from a data stream coming from a memory storage device after being captured. In addition, the actual hardware and software used to perform the filtering and searching routines is programmable such that various filter and search criteria can be entered and utilized. The data filtering/searching system also uses metadata in addition to the captured data to minimize the time required to perform certain processes on the data from the data stream.

  • Patent number: 6970266
    Abstract: A method and graphical user interface system provide fault notes in a printing system. A fault screen window is provided that depicts faults for individual supply unit devices and output unit devices which can be opened by selecting the fault button and/or fault icon. A fault notes window is also provided for user editable text linked to the fault screen window. The fault notes window displays only user editable text related to a selected device or displays only user editable text related to the system when no device is selected. A fault notes icon is configured to appear when user editable text has previously been entered on said fault notes window.

  • Patent number: 6917437
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a printing system, and more particularly to a resource management using job tickets displayed on a user interface for controlling a printing system to generate documents received from one or more input units including a computer network, scanner, modem, etc. Since the operator or user wishes to offer a wide variety of printing options to customers and complete customer orders as quickly as possible, minimizing the interruption of print jobs is a very important priority. By replenishing supplies such as stock and toner in a timely fashion, the utilization of the printing systems can be maximized. In order for the operator to more efficiently utilize the printing system to perform a large number of print jobs with as few interruptions as possible, the present invention provides a user friendly navigational tool, which can provide the operator with information regarding the amount of printing supplies currently available in the printing system.

  • Publication number: 20040009026
    Abstract: A print engine (10) having a maximum physical sheet capacity (MAX_C), and being operable at an operational sheet capacity (OP_C) equal to or less than the maximum physical sheet capacity, includes a marking device (12) which applies marks to sheets of media supplied thereto and outputs the same. A feeding device (14) supplies the sheets to the marking device (12), and a finishing device (16) receives the sheets from the marking device (12). Also included is a user interface (18). The user interface (18) has an indicator (100) which communicates to an operator of the print engine (10): the maximum physical sheet capacity of the print engine (10); the operational sheet capacity at which the print engine (10) is currently operating; and, a measurement of actual sheets which are at least one of contained in or received in a support device of the print engine (10), wherein the support device is the feeding device (14) or the finishing device (16).

  • Patent number: 4994737
    Abstract: An adapter, having a dielectric substrate upon which are mounted an array of uniformly-spaced, coplanar conductive strips and impedance standards having similarly spaced coplanar leads, facilitates planar transmission line probe measurements of the high-speed electrical characteristics of a package or other interconnect structure for a high-speed integrated circuit. The conductive strips of the adapter are connected to the terminals of the package so as to simulate the integrated circuit connection, that is, with substantially identical length and spacing of bond wires. The planar probe, by contacting the conductive strips of the adapter, is able to measure the electrical characteristics of the package including the bond wires, thereby providing realistic measurements of the integrated circuit's environment. The impedance standards on the adapter are specially designed to enable the effects of the adapter to be removed from the measurements by calibration.

  • Patent number: 4586572
    Abstract: There is disclosed well drilling apparatus which includes a mast pivotally mounted on a base so that it may be tilted about a horizontal axis in order to drill a well at a slant with respect to the vertical, a laydown device at the front side of the mast for use in moving joints of drill pipe to and from the mast, during drilling of the well or on completion of the drilling, and a tower and setback in which stands of drill pipe may be racked, together with a frame extending between the mast and tower to facilitate transfer of the stands of drill pipe between the tower and the mast during tripping of the drill string--i.e., as it is raised from the well, to permit repair or replacement of the drill bit, and then lowered back into the well to resume drilling.
