  • Publication number: 20220087543
    Abstract: A medical device (100) determines a resistance parameter (107), of a patient to be treated, indicating a peripheral vascular resistance. A reception module (110) is configured to receive a pulsatile signal (112). The pulsatile signal indicates a blood pressure curve (114), especially an arterial blood pressure curve, or a blood volume curve. A reading module (120) is connected to the reception module and is configured to read a number of predefined curve parameters (124) from the received pulsatile signal and to provide corresponding, read measured values (134) for the number of predefined curve parameters. A calculation module (130) is connected to the reading module and is configured to calculate the resistance parameter of the patient with the use of a predefined estimation function (136) based on the read measured values and on a predefined parameter (135) indicating the cardiac output of the patient and to output same.

  • Publication number: 20210401310
    Abstract: A medical device (100) determines a cardiac output-dependent parameter (105) of a patient to be treated. A reception module receives a pulsatile signal (112) that indicates a blood pressure course (114). A storage module provides a model rule (122), describing an assignment between a number of predefined blood pressure course parameters (124) and the cardiac output-dependent parameter (105) to be assigned. A read-out module reads out the number of predefined blood pressure course parameters from the indicated blood pressure course and provides corresponding read-out measured values (132). A calculation module calculates and outputs an output value (142) for the cardiac output-dependent parameter (105) to be assigned based on the read-out measured values for the number of predefined blood pressure course parameters using the model rule, which is based at least partially on an end-systolic state (116) of a respective blood pressure pulse (115) of the blood pressure course.

  • Patent number: 9338537
    Abstract: The invention relates to a loudspeaker and to a loudspeaker housing for accommodating a loudspeaker module, wherein the loudspeaker housing has a sound output side having a sound output opening and a casing, wherein the sound output side is the side of the loudspeaker housing that is intended to output the sound of the loudspeaker module through the sound output side when the loudspeaker module is arranged in the loudspeaker housing, wherein the sound output direction is perpendicular to the sound output side, and wherein the casing is arranged radially around the sound output direction and laterally around the sound output side, and wherein the loudspeaker housing has a rear side opposite the sound output side, and wherein the rear side is open or has an opening, wherein between the sound output side and the rear side, the casing varies in the cross-section thereof perpendicular to the distance line between the sound output side and the rear side.

  • Patent number: 6920462
    Abstract: A method of performing a query on a Markup document, which includes steps of receiving a query and designing a plurality of filters to reflect a structural linkage of a condition tree representing the query. The step of designing the plurality of filters includes designing a highest-level filter that can become active only if an event-based parser indicates that an element for which the highest-level filter is searching has been found. The step of designing the plurality of filters also includes designing a lowest-level filter that can become active only when the highest-level filter has become active and when the parser indicates that an element for which the lowest-level filter is searching has been parsed. The method also includes a step of parsing a Markup document, and a step of checking the lowest-level filter to determine whether it has found the element for which it has been searching.
