  • Publication number: 20240065934
    Abstract: In embodiments, a CPR chest compression system includes a retention structure that can retain the patient's body, and a compression mechanism that can perform automatically CPR compressions and releases to the patient's chest. The compression mechanism can pause the performing of the CPR compressions for a short time, so that an attendant can check the patient. The CPR system can include a user interface that can output a human-perceptible check patient prompt, to alert an attendant to check the patient during the pause. The compression mechanism can during a CPR session retreat a distance away from the patient's chest whereby the patient's chest can expand without active decompression of the patient's chest beyond the chest's natural resting position.

  • Publication number: 20230023283
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying Passive Intermodulation (PIM) products are disclosed. Some embodiments use RAN Performance Measurement (PM) counters, of actual DL Traffic Load to correlate with UL noise and interference counters. By using counters, the DL traffic is correlated to the increase in noise and interference in order to determine which DL carrier combinations are causing degradation to which UL carriers. In this way, aggressor-victim grouping can be identified through normal downlink traffic load with uplink interference to identify passive intermodulation products. This can be done for all aggressor-victim groups within a radio base station site or cluster of sites. Also, some embodiments enable estimating the maximum PIM interference created by the aggressor carriers. This helps operators to quantify the impact of PIM and can enable them to take counter measures. These embodiments are Radio Access Technology (RAT) agnostic and operator agnostic for the aggressors within a site.
