  • Patent number: 10702208
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a data processing unit (100) which receives electroencephalographic data based on a measurement of a person (110) exposed to anesthetic drug substance which has one or more estimated or measured non-zero levels of concentration in the body (108) of the person (110) as a function of time; and determines and present activity of slow waves of the electroencephalographic data at the one or more estimated or measured levels of the non-zero concentration of the anesthetic drug substance.

  • Patent number: 8504142
    Abstract: An apparatus, a method, and a computer program for predicting a risk for a cardiac death are presented. Early repolarization patterns in leads of an electrocardiogram recorded from a subject are detected if an amplitude of a J-point at a QRS complex and ST segment junction of a lead exceeds a predetermined amplitude threshold. Amplitude patterns of ST segments in leads of the electrocardiogram are also determined. Finally, an elevated risk for a future cardiac death of the subject on the basis of a possible arrhythmia is predicted if early repolarization patterns are detected in at least two leads of the electrocardiogram, and if the ST segments in the at least two leads of the electrocardiogram are determined to have a horizontal or descending amplitude pattern.

  • Patent number: 8191733
    Abstract: An arrangement for dispensing color paste, a shading apparatus, a method, a computer program product, and a memory. The arrangement includes a piston pump including a feed channel. The feed channel is provided with a substantially different amount of color paste per travelling length unit when the piston is moving towards the first end of the cylinder than when the piston is moving towards the second end of the cylinder. The arrangement further includes a valve connected to the feed channel, a dispensing channel connected to a first outlet channel of the valve for conveying color paste into a can, and a by-pass feed channel connected to a second outlet channel of the valve for conveying color paste past the can for the paint to be shaded.

  • Patent number: 7708917
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for casting concrete elements with varying, determined length, equipped with one or with a plurality of longitudinal hollow cores, by means of a slipforming apparatus. The apparatus is movable with respect to the bed (2), said apparatus comprising forming members (10) for forming hollow cores. The mass is fed in the first step to the portion of the slab below the hollow cores, and in the second step the hollow-core forming members being brought onto the said portion of the slab and mass is being fed between the forming members and onto them. The forming member (10) for forming a hollow core comprises an attachable extension part (22). The height of a hollow core is changed by changing the extension part of the hollow core forming member.

  • Patent number: 6878315
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are for fabricating a concrete product in a slip-form casting process, in which method concrete mix is fed into a slip-form mold of a defined cross section moving progressively in the casting process so as to obtain a concrete product of a desired shape. The method includes an interruptible guidance control of the prestressing tendons so as to allow the tendon guides to travel past supplementary parts such as reinforcing steels connected to the prestressing tendons.

  • Patent number: 6847689
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a filter for distinguishing signal components from one another, whereof at least one comprises a periodic signal sequence. In the solution samples are taken during several signal sequences (300) and a signal sequence model is formed by arranging the samples taken from several signal sequences (300) together so that the samples represent a single signal sequence (300) model and the signal sequence model is specified by filtering.
