  • Publication number: 20240118160
    Abstract: A device and a process detect a leak during artificial ventilation of a patient. A measurement system with a sensor arrangement and a sensor fluid guide unit is monitored. A fluid connection is established between a patient-side coupling unit and a medical device with a patient fluid guide unit. A gas sample is branched off from the patient fluid guide unit and guided through the sensor fluid guide unit to the sensor arrangement. A thermal conductivity time course of the gas sample reaching the sensor arrangement is determined with sensor arrangement measured values. Depending on a temporal change in the determined thermal conductivity, a decision is made as to whether there is an indication of a leak between the patient's fluid-guiding unit and the sensor arrangement. The leak establishes a fluid connection between the sensor fluid guide unit and/or the sensor arrangement and the environment.

  • Patent number: 11283549
    Abstract: Embodiments related to retransmission in a communication system are described and depicted. In one embodiment, a retransmission entity repeats a transmission of data transfer unit by the device after a predetermined number of other transmitted data transfer units has been transmitted. The retransmission entity may also determine whether a measure for a time period since the first transmission of the data transfer unit by the device has exceeded a predetermined threshold and to provide a final transmission of the data transfer unit based on the determining that the measure for the time period has exceeded the predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 8910006
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method of processing data in a transmitter. In the method, a timestamp is generated for a data unit. The data unit is stored in a memory unit in the transmitter. The data unit is transmitted from the transmitter to a receiver. The transmitter waits up to a predetermined time measured with respect to the timestamp to receive an acknowledgement from the receiver. Based on whether the acknowledgement is received within the predetermined time, the transmitter selectively retransmits the data unit to the receiver. Other methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8848740
    Abstract: Embodiments related to retransmission in data communication systems are described and depicted. In one embodiment, a data packet is received and separated to a plurality of data fragments. Information indicating whether a fragment of the plurality of fragments is to be protected by retransmission is provided or information indicating whether a group of fragments is to be protected by retransmission is provided. A request for retransmission from the second transceiver unit to the first transceiver unit may be generated. Based on the request, one or more identified data fragments may be retransmitted.

  • Patent number: 8788901
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to a method of communicating data between a transmitter and a receiver of a communication system. In this method, a payload data stream is received from a network interface layer. The payload data stream includes data units eligible for retransmission and data units non-eligible for retransmission. These data units are grouped into containers, where a container is associated with a container identifier that distinguishes the container from other containers. The containers are grouped into data transmission units, where a data transmission unit includes at least one container along with redundancy information that facilitates error detection for that data transmission unit. The data transmission units are transmitted to the receiver as a transmission data stream. Other methods and systems are also disclosed.
