Abstract: A surveillance camera includes a slip ring having electrical connections for Ethernet protocol signals and a RF reference plane. A first circuit is located on a rotating portion of the surveillance camera and electrically connected to the camera for compressing signals generated by the camera and for converting the signals generated by the camera to Ethernet protocol signals. The slip ring has a stationary portion and a rotating portion, each with a corresponding plurality of electrical connection. An RF reference plane is located on the stationary portion of the surveillance camera and electrically connected to a first subset of the plurality of electrical connections of the stationary portion of the slip ring. A second subset of the plurality of electrical connections of the stationary portion of the slip ring conducts the Ethernet protocol signals and is arranged in alternation with each electrical connection of said first subset.

Abstract: A surveillance camera having a stationary portion and a rotating portion and comprising a camera located on the rotating portion of the surveillance camera for generating signals indicative of a scene in a field of view of the camera, a first circuit located on the rotating portion of the surveillance camera and electrically connected to the camera for compressing the signals generated by the camera and for converting the signals generated by the camera to Ethernet protocol signals, a slip ring having a stationary portion with a plurality of electrical connections and a rotating portion with a plurality of electrical connections corresponding with the plurality of electrical connections on the stationary portion, the first circuit being electrically connected to a first subset of the plurality of electrical connections of the rotating portion of the slip ring, an RF reference plane located on the stationary portion of the surveillance camera and electrically connected to a first subset of the plurality of ele

Abstract: A system and method for treating hypertension and other medical disorders is provided. The system utilizes data collection devices for monitoring medical parameters of a plurality of patients and collecting data related to the medical parameters, and a centralized database for storing the collected data for each of the plurality of patients. Input devices are also used for transferring patient information such as name, family history, medications, weight, age, etc. to the database. The database correlates the collected data to the patient information for purposes of treatment and later retrieval by users to carry out research and other activities in which the collected data and patient information is useful. The system and method is particularly adapted for diagnosing and treating maternal hypertensive disorders such as preeclampsia and carrying out research related to understanding preeclampsia.
