A plurality of light sensors senses an intensity of light received from at least one of the plurality of lights. A distance between at least one light sensor and at least one of the plurality of lights is estimated based on the sensed intensity of light.

Abstract: A program specializer employs input specialized data structures by generating an input specialized definition of a set of data elements, and parsing an application program to identify data element references to data elements in the generated input specialized definitions of data elements. The program specializer replaces or rewrites the identified data element references with the corresponding input specialized definition. The input specialized data elements from the input specialized program are employed in a particular view by generating a mapping of source data types to preferred data types, such that the preferred data types have access advantages over the source data types, and receiving a markup application program having source data types operable to be modified in the input specialized program. A view mapper maps, using the generated mapping, a source data type to a preferred data type, and applies the mapped preferred data type to occurrences of the corresponding source data type.

Abstract: A program specializer employs input specialized data structures by generating an input specialized definition of a set of data elements, and parsing an application program to identify data element references to data elements in the generated input specialized definitions of data elements. A data structure generator responsive to the program specializer computes an input specialized definition corresponding to each of the identified references data element references, and a parser in the program specializer replaces or rewrites the identified data element references with the corresponding input specialized definition. Computing the input specialized definition includes determining an index for offset indirection, therefore having offset references to members of the data element, such that the data element members are operable for indexed references by the resulting input specialized application program.

Abstract: An information workflow for a medical diagnostic workstation in which patient data is captured, arranged and displayed in predetermined formats for a user in the handling of patients.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing operational resources such as cooling and secondary electrical power to electronics in server racks in data centers is provided. Pressurized air is provided in a closed loop that is routed through each of the servers to a heat exchanger. The electronics in the servers are in thermal contact with the closed loop via a heat sink such that heat from the electronics is transferred to the closed loop. The heated pressurized air travels from the server racks to the heat exchanger which removes the heat from the air and exhausts it to the atmosphere. The pressurized air in the closed loop may be cooled through the use of chilled water, stored water, or both, in which case the closed loop passes through the water prior to traveling to the heat sinks.

Abstract: Backup energy systems utilizing compressed air storage (CAS) systems and bridging energy systems to supply backup power to a load are provided. During a power failure, the bridging energy system provides backup power to the load at least until the CAS system begins supplying adequate power. In various embodiments, backup power capability is enhanced through the use of one or more exhaustless heaters, which are used to heat compressed air. The compressed air, in turn, drives a turbine which is used to power an electrical generator. In various embodiments, ambient air heat exchangers or other types of heat exchangers are used to heat compressed air prior to the compressed air being routed to the turbine, thereby increasing system efficiency. Backup power and backup HVAC are also provided by utilizing turbine exhaust, heat exchangers and various resistive heating elements.
