Abstract: A system for configuring a building automation control system includes a user interface configured to receive system data regarding specifications for the building automation control system from a user. Configuration logic is coupled to the user interface and is used to generate at least one view of the building automation control system. Packaging logic is coupled to the user interface and is used to generate at least one deliverable. A common data storage system is coupled to the configuration logic and the packaging logic. The data storage system is commonly accessible to the configuration logic and the packaging logic and includes a set of predefined preferences. The at least one view is generated based on at least the system data and the predefined preferences.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for assessing performance of control applications in an environmental control network and for diagnosing performance problems. The apparatus includes a performance assessment and diagnostic display comprising a facility navigation tree, a system navigation tree and a performance/diagnostics window. The facility navigation tree and system navigation tree may be used to select the facilities and systems that are to have their associated control applications assessed and/or diagnosed. The performance/diagnostics window includes graphs of performance indictors that are indicative of performance levels for the included control applications. The system tree may be used to delve to more detailed views of the performance indicators to obtain additional information that may help to diagnose problems noted in performance of the selected control applications.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for arranging and accessing database data in a manner such that massive amounts of data can be aggregated and manipulated in many different ways to generate reports of many different types in a rapid manner, the method including storing data in point slices where each slice includes data having similar attributes, receiving a report request from which data attributes corresponding to the data needed to instantiate the report can be gleaned, identifying at least one required point slice including the needed data, determining if the point slice exists, where the point slice does not exist, accessing other data and generating the point slice and perhaps some intervening point slices, storing the newly generated point slices and then using the required point slice to instantiate and provide the report.

Abstract: A composition for simultaneous cleaning and decontaminating a device. The composition is a per-compound oxidant in an amount effective for decontaminating the device and an enzyme in an amount effective for cleaning the device. The device may be a medical device such as an endoscope or kidney dialyzer and a plurality of devices can be cleaned using the same composition. The composition may additionally contain a corrosion inhibitor in an amount effective to prevent corrosion of a metal, a chelator, a buffer, a dye and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A composition for cleaning and decontaminating medical devices such as dialyzers. A per-compound oxidant, for example, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and/or peracetic acid, is mixed with a buffer such as dipotassium hydrogen phosphate. The pH of the composition is between about 5-11. The composition effectively cleans the device, can achieve high level disinfection and sterilization of the device and is non-corrosive to plastics and adhesives used in the device.

Abstract: A device or system for monitoring for the presence of leaks from a hazardous fluid is disclosed which uses two electrodes immersed in deionized water. A gas is passed through an enclosed space in which a hazardous fluid is contained. Any fumes, vapors, etc. escaping from the containment of the hazardous fluid in the enclosed space are entrained in the gas passing through the enclosed space and transported to a closed vessel containing deionized water and two electrodes partially immersed in the deionized water. The electrodes are connected in series with a power source and a signal, whereby when a sufficient number of ions enter the water from the gas being bubbled through it (indicative of a leak), the water will begin to conduct, thereby allowing current to flow through the water from one electrode to the other electrode to complete the circuit and activate the signal.
