Abstract: Techniques for importing medical device data are described herein. In one embodiment, in response to medical device data (MDD) received at a server from a MDD capturing device over a network, an MDD converter is identified that is associated with a type of the MDD data. The identified MDD converter is utilized to convert the MDD data into intermediate data in a predetermined intermediate format. The intermediate data is then transformed into target data in a target format that is compatible with a database schema of a target medical database, and the target data is stored in the target medical database for subsequent usage.

Abstract: The present invention generally discloses a supervised paging, messaging background music and emergency voice evacuation system. In one embodiment, the system comprises at least one telephone zone controller and at least one telephone zone paging speaker splitter or addressable paging splitter. Specifically, telephone zone controller acts as a controlling authority for the routing and playback of audio in selectable zones. In cooperation with the telephone zone controller, the telephone zone paging speaker splitter is an addressable device that is capable of splitting an audio signal in different manners, e.g., in Class A mode or in Class B mode. The present system provides addressable functions that are not found in existing supervised paging, messaging background music and emergency voice evacuation system.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and apparatus for ground fault detection. One embodiment of a method for diagnosing a ground fault in a notification appliance circuit comprising a plurality of field wiring connections includes individually testing each of the plurality of field wiring connections until a source of the ground fault is detected and outputting a signal identifying the source of the ground fault.

Abstract: An imaging system employs method of labeling orthogonal images. The method comprises: identifying a primary image taken in a first plane; identifying a plurality of secondary images taken in planes orthogonal to the first plane; associating a label to a point in the primary image; calculating a distance from the point to a line of intersection between the primary image and each secondary image in the plurality of images; and associating the label to a secondary image in the plurality of secondary images having a line of intersection with the primary image closest to the point.
