  • Patent number: 8116308
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described which enables location information associated with a client to easily be obtained by a service provider in a packet-based network. The location information may be the location of the client itself, or may be location information associated with devices in a communication facility established by the client. Location information associated with the client may be provided to services such as emergency services to facilitate fast dispatch of resources to assist the client. Location information associated with facilities of the client may be used to facilitate lawful interception of client communications. In one embodiment, the location information is obtained using information included in one of a Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) or Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) packet.

  • Patent number: 7789835
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for determining the cardiac output of a patient. One such method includes measuring the patient's height and the velocity time integral or stroke distance of blood flowing from the heart of the patient, and subsequently utilising these measurements to determine the cardiac output of the patient based on a valve cross sectional area estimate.

  • Publication number: 20080249425
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for defining cardiac time intervals using the pre-systolic diastolic filling period and the proceeding systolic period. The diastolic period can begin at the end of the T wave and terminate at the onset of the proceeding Q wave as defined in electrocardiograph signals. The systolic period can begin at onset of the Q peak and terminate at the end of the T wave as defined in electrocardiograph signals.
