Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor. The set of instructions is operable to receive a current patient set of data relating to a current patient; compare the current patient set of data to a plurality of previous patient sets of data, each of the previous patient sets of data corresponding to a previous patient; select one of the previous patient sets of data based on a level of similarity between the selected previous patient set of data and the current patient set of data; and provide the selected previous patient set of data to a user.

Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) may include antipads, used to provide clearance for backdrilling, which may be sized to allow backdrilling in a way that minimizes the presence of stubs. The PCB may include pads to connect a component to the PCB and vertically disposed vias connected to at least some of the pads. The PCB may further include horizontally disposed signal layers, electrically connected by the vias, to route signals from the component, received from the vias, to an edge of the component, in which signals associated with the component closer to an inner portion of the component are routed to the edge of the component on higher ones of the signal layers than signals associated with the component further from the inner portion of the component.

Abstract: A medical apparatus (901, 100) assists clinicians, nurses or other users in choosing an intervention for the treatment of a patent suffering from an acute dynamic disease, e.g. sepsis. The medical apparatus is based on a method where a model of the disease is adapted or personalized to the patient. To ensure that the apparatus remains capable of predicting the health of the patient, the apparatus is continuously provided with new, more recent patient values and the model is continuously adapted to the new patient values. Since the medical apparatus is configured to be continuously adapted to current state of health, the apparatus is able to assist the user by generating disease management information, e.g. suggestions for medications, to an output device (902, 104).

Abstract: A pre-examination patient information gathering system comprises an electronic user interface (30, 130) including a display (32) and at least one user input device (34, 36), and an electronic processor (50) configured to present an initial set of questions (54) to a patient via the electronic user interface, receive responses to the initial set of questions from the patient via the electronic user interface, construct or select follow-up questions (68) based on the received responses, present the constructed or selected follow up questions to the patient via the electronic user interface, and receive responses to the constructed or selected follow up questions from the patient via the electronic user interface. A physiological sensor (70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80) may be configured to autonomously sense a patient physiological parameter as the patient interacts with the electronic user interface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical apparatus (901, 100) for assisting clinicians, nurses or other users in choosing an intervention for the treatment of a patent suffering from an acute dynamic disease, e.g. sepsis. The medical apparatus is based on a method where a model of the disease is adapted or personalised to the patient. To ensure that the apparatus remains capable of predicting the health of the patient, the apparatus is continuously-provided with new patient values and the model is continuously adapted to the new patient values. Since the medical apparatus is configured to be continuously adapted to current state of health, the apparatus is able to assist the user by generating disease management information, e.g. suggestions for medications, to an output device (902, 104).

Abstract: A nonvolatile memory cell of the type having a single lateral transistor includes source and drain regions separated by a channel region. A floating gate is provided over at least the channel region and is separated therefrom by a gate oxide, with a control gate over the floating gate and insulated therefrom. By having the floating gate extend over substantially its entire length at a substantially constant distance from the surface of the device, and providing the floating gate and the surface with similarly-contoured corners adjacent ends of the source and drain regions alongside the channel region, the nonvolatile memory cell can be programmed and erased using lower voltages than those required by priorart devices.

Abstract: A data processing system for regulating access to a communication network is disclosed herein. The data processing system employs a component that can be implemented in hardware logic or software. The component regulates access to the priority queue or transmit channel that is attached to the shared medium local area network section. All access to the priority queue or transmit channel must pass through this component, thus subjecting all communication transactions to rejection or tracking by the component. The component allocates a frame size based on the information to be transmitted and the priority to assure the transmission will be completed in line with the quality of service required. The component monitors the rate and size of messages to assure that an application's actual throughput does not exceed its negotiated throughput. The component, moreover, is capable of operating in correction mode where throughput and frame size violations are prevented and reported.
