Abstract: A method of determining an accurate measure of blood pressure, the method including the steps of: initially measuring a patient's blood pressure measurement; determining a temperature measurement of the surrounds where the pressure measurement was obtained; and modifying or normalising the blood pressure measurement by a correction factor as determined by the temperature measurement.

Abstract: A method of monitoring the flow of a gas along a channel, the method including the steps of: Utilising at least a first ultrasonic transducer to project an alternating ultrasonic signal substantially transverse to the direction of gas flow and ultrasonic receivers to receive the signals; Sampling the ultrasonic signal after it traverses the gas flow; and Processing the sampled signal to determine properties of the gas and flow parameters relating thereto.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automated pathfinding system and method designed or adapted to minimize or eliminate exposure to detection, firepower, radiation or use of cover and concealment when mapping in a digital twin environment.

Abstract: A method of blood flow monitoring for a patient, the method comprising the steps of: a) receiving a first signal indicative of the real time cardiac output for the patient; b) processing the continuous wave Doppler signal to provide an estimate of blood flow velocity as a function of time; c) receiving a pressure measurement indicative of the blood flow resistance through the patient; and d) calculating an Inotropy measure indicative of the potential and kinetic energy of the cardiac output of the patient.

Abstract: The adaptive product conditioning is a computer-implemented method for identifying product configurations that can be provided to customers in reaction to supply imbalances. The methodology uses data mining techniques to collect and analyze business level meta data to coordinate supply and sales goals in terms of optimizing profits or managing product and technology transitions.

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.

Abstract: A method of monitoring blood flows through the body includes performing a substantially continuous blood pressure monitoring of a vessel at a first predetermined location to obtain a substantially continuous blood pressure signal; performing blood flow monitoring of a vessel at a first predetermined location to obtain a substantially continuous blood flow signal; providing an updated cardiac measure of said patient by continuously processing the flow signal and the pressure signal.

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.

Abstract: A method of tuning a cardiac prosthetic pacing device includes (a) monitoring the flow output from the heart, and (b) adjusting the timing of pacing events by the cardiac prosthetic pacing device so as to optimise the flow from the heart under operational conditions.

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.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring physiologic tissues perfusion information including: a first device producing a first output indicative of blood flow of a patient; a second device producing a second output indicative of oxygen content of the blood; and a processor combining said first and said second outputs to produce a third output indicative of tissue perefusion.
