Abstract: A respiratory assistance apparatus has a gases inlet configured to receive a supply of gases, a blower unit configured to generate a pressurised gases stream from the supply of gases; a humidification unit configured to heat and humidify the pressurised gases stream; and a gases outlet for the heated and humidified gases stream. A flow path for the gases stream extends through the respiratory device from the gases inlet through the blower unit and humidification unit to the gases outlet. A sensor assembly is provided in the flow path before the humidification unit. The sensor assembly has an ultrasound gas composition sensor system for sensing one or more gas concentrations within the gases stream.

Abstract: A camera and LED strobe unit are operated such that the strobe unit produces a series of bursts, such as approximately ten per second. The bursts are used either to illuminate a subject at a series of different light levels, to then present a series of images to the user to select the best exposure, or to produce a series of images of a moving subject within a single frame. The light unit has a continuous mode of LED light output, but can be switched to the burst mode for high power bursts in rapid succession.

Abstract: The thermal storage apparatus contains a heat transfer fluid (102) and a thermal storage medium (101), being immiscible and of differing densities. The thermal storage apparatus comprises a vessel (100) for containing a layer of heat transfer fluid (102) in contact with a layer of thermal storage medium (101), and a charging loop (120) including an inlet nozzle (200) having a mouth The charging loop (120) is arranged to supply cool heat transfer fluid (102) into the vessel (100) directed at least partially into the layer of thermal storage medium (101) and the inlet nozzle (200) is shaped such that heat transfer fluid (102) flowing therethrough operatively draws thermal storage medium (101) into the mouth thereof. The thermal storage apparatus described provides good mixing of cooled heat transfer fluid (102) with thermal storage medium (101), minimal blockages in the charging loop (120) and allows good separation of the heat transfer fluid (102) and thermal storage medium (101).

Abstract: Rules “learn” what is typical or expected for a certain attribute of device data for a given location, premises, time period, etc. Using a rule for a standard deviation the variance between newly collected data and the data stored in a fact table is either ignored or an alert (or some action) is generated. Data in the fact table is sampled for a specific time, or time period. Newly collected data may be used to update the fact table or discarded.

Abstract: A system and method for incorporating video analytics data in a monitoring network are provided. A processing server obtains video analytics device data from one or more monitoring devices. The processing server processes and stores the video analytics device data according to one or more unique identifiers. Utilizing decision logic, the processing server evaluates the video analytics data to generate one or more predictive assessments. Each predictive assessment can result in the initiation of actions or notification of authorized personnel based upon an event occurrence.
