Abstract: A medical apparatus and method of operating a medical apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a radiation source for emitting radiation towards an area to be treated of a patient; a mount element arranged to be worn by the patient for positioning the radiation source in a predetermined position relative to the area to be treated; a sensor element arranged to provide a signal indicative of whether the apparatus is being worn by the patient; and at least one controller arranged to receive the signal from the sensor, and to determine whether the apparatus is being worn by the patient, and to determine duration data indicative of the duration for which the radiation source emits radiation whilst the apparatus is being worn by the patient.

Abstract: The present invention provides dynamic configuration and allocation of resources in a data center. These resources are monitored for availability and performance information according to their assigned execution (or application) environments. The measured performance information for each environment is used to predict levels of demand for an application in the environment. From the predicted levels of demand resource requirements can be determined to provide a predetermined level of performance under the demand changes. The resources can then be reconfigured or reallocated to different environment so that the requirements of each environment can be met.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a system and method for creating custom multi-relational ontologies. The invention includes a system and method for creating a master ontology and the application of one or more customizing constraints to the master ontology. Also provided are methods for creating custom ontologies using path-finding and creation of custom ontologies by applying customizing constraints to extraction, assembly, curation, and publication processes.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a system and method for creating one or more structured multi-relational ontologies. The invention may include ontologies comprising assertions made up of concept-relationship-concept triplets. The invention may also include predefined sets of concept and relationship types as well as concept type hierarchies and concept-relationship association parameters. The invention may further include properties as concepts, synonyms of concepts as concepts, and documents or parts thereof as concepts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for parsing and/or exporting one or more multi-relational ontologies. The system may apply a set of export constraints to one or more master ontologies to produce a redacted data subset. The redacted data subset may then be exported to a specified location or application.

Abstract: This specification discloses a central vacuum cleaning system for use in a motor vehicle, which is self-contained and portable and is installed in a convenient part of the car such as the trunk. The unit is powered by the battery of the vehicle and does not require access to public power facilities. The cleaning unit is installed for easy placement and removable in the vehicle, with snap-in hose connections for convenience. The vacuum cleaner central unit is formed in two parts which are easily opened by a snap means for emptying the waste collection chamber. The waste collection chamber is designed such that debris and liquid waste remain in the bottom of the chamber during operation and during the emptying procedures, so that such wastes do not reach the filter and the electric motor area of the unit.
