  • Publication number: 20020194032
    Abstract: A system for automatic risk modification of a member of a risk group has a data acquisition component which interacts with the member of the risk group to acquire data associated with a risk factor, including repeated acquisition of at least one risk factor parameter. The data are supplied to an expert system which has access to a memory containing a number of product offerings. Based on the transmitted data, the expert system generates an output which includes a behavior recommendation and/or a product offering, having low cost and/or complexity. This recommendation is transmitted to the member of the risk group, and upon the subsequent receipt of a new risk factor parameter from the member, the expert system determines whether modification of the risk factor has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20020099275
    Abstract: In a method and a medical system for monitoring a patient suffering from epilepsy located outside a medical establishment, at least one measured value of the patient relating to the epilepsy is acquired and is supplied to and analyzed with an analysis device and is stored in a central data bank. An alarm generator triggers an alarm signal of a first type if the analyzed measured value is classified as critical for the state of health of the patient or triggers an alarm signal of a second type if the measured value of the patient fails to arrive.

  • Publication number: 20020048307
    Abstract: A device for the non-contact temperature measurement on an object comprises a detector device with a detector and IR optics, which image the detector along a measuring beam path with an optical axis onto a measuring spot on the object, and a sighting device for the visualization of the measuring spot with a light source for the creation of marking light and ring optics, which form a marking beam path that surrounds the outer circumference of the measuring beam path. The marking light is aligned so that on each location of the marking beam path its cross section, vertical to the optical axis, forms a circular ring surface.
