Abstract: A method of automatically generating tests for a software program based on metadata that is used to control the operational behavior of a software product is disclosed. A definition is received of a page hierarchy and security characteristics associated with the software program and representing output pages that are generated by the program in operation. The definition is parsed to identify information associated with one or more pages of the program. Automatically, instructions in a test language are generated. The instructions, when executed by a testing system, cause the testing system to perform the steps of: navigating through the page hierarchy and displaying each of the pages; determining whether each of the pages is properly displayed by the program; and generating output indicating whether each of the pages is properly displayed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detection and monitoring of autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity in humans, primarily in the field of sleep research. The present invention discloses a portable, simple, and cost-effective electronic device containing hardware and software that permits real-time monitoring of a pulsatile blood volume waveform obtained through use of a photoplethysmographic (optical volume detecting) probe, thereby allowing signal conditioning, waveform slope analysis, display, recording, and output of pulse transitional slope data representative of activity in the ANS.

Abstract: A cannula (3) defined by a main body (1) having an internal passage (6). The internal passage (6) communicate with a nare (5, 7) and an oral prong or a mouthpiece (9) which is adjustable to provide a desirable signal from a patient's mouth and nose to indicate breathing by the patient.
