Abstract: A portable medical treatment device is designed to be placed on or near a patient when the patient is moved. The device communicates with a database that stores patient profiles and/or treatment protocols. Based on input patient information, the device communicates with the database and loads a patient profile and/or treatment protocol. The device evaluates data entered by a user according the patient profile and/or treatment protocol to determine metrics, and the determined metrics are compared with parameters to determine whether the entered data is within acceptable limits. The device tags and displays the entered data in a manner that reflects whether it was within the acceptable limits.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mechanism whereby caching operations, such as prefetch and copyback operations, can be initiated by an external direct memory access (DMA) controller. This allows the DMA controller to govern the inclusion as well as exclusion of data from a processor cache in such as way as to avoid unnecessary cache faults, and to thereby improve system performance. Thus, the present invention effectively provides a synchronization mechanism between an external DMA controller and a processor cache.
