  • Publication number: 20160232329
    Abstract: When automatically populating medical report templates, insertable macros are indexed and searched not only my name or title but also by contents, such as keywords times, pre-defined terms for key information included in the macro, free texts in the macros, etc. When a unique macro is found, the system inserts the text of the macro into the report being generated. If multiple related macros are found, the system highlights the macros for user review. After the insertion of the macro into the template, the system identifies pre-defined terms and fills in the key information value(s). The system thus facilitates, e.g., radiologists' observation reporting procedure through an intelligent matching algorithm that facilitates finding a comprising keywords unique macro, which in turn aids in filling in report field instance values and optimizes radiology workflow.

  • Publication number: 20150295817
    Abstract: A redundant device unit includes a first device connected with a field device via a first link and a second link in series. The first device, initially active in use, when active sends diagnostic information indicating whether there is a fault in the first link and/or the second link. A second device connected with the field device via the second link and a third link in series, initially passive in use, receives the first diagnostic information from the first device. When the first diagnostic information indicates that there is a fault in the first link and/or the second link, the first device switches to passive and the second device switches to active and generates second diagnostic information indicating whether there is a fault in the second link and/or the third link. A determination regarding the fault is made based on the first and second diagnostic information.

  • Publication number: 20150280971
    Abstract: A module has switchable operation states. A first switching unit switches the module between a first operation state and a second operation state. A first interface switches between sending signals to another module which has switchable operation states and receiving signals from the other module. The first interface sends a first signal to the other module when the module is in the first operation state, sends a second signal to the other module when the module is to be switched into the second operation state, and receives signals from the other module when the module is in the second operation state. A second interface communicates with the other module. When the second interface receives a response of the other module to the second signal, the first switching unit switches the module into the second operation state. The reliability of module switching is improved in an embodiment.
