Abstract: A device and method for monitoring and analyzing breathing sounds, the device including at least one microphone adapted and configured for placement adjacent a body to be monitored for contactless recording of breathing sounds, a motion detector using an ultrasound distance sensor to detect the patient body motions, and a processor coupled to the microphones and the motion detector for receiving and processing the breathing sounds and patient motions to detect abnormal breathing events.

Abstract: Universal serial bus wakeup when the bus is not powered. In one embodiment, a method of waking up a universal serial bus (USB) from a non-powered state, comprises: upon detection of a wakeup condition, a wakeup generation module associated with a USB device generating a wakeup signal on a power line of a USB bus coupled to the USB device, or on a single-wire sideband; and a host wakeup module detecting the wakeup signal and causing the USB bus that is coupled to the USB device to be supplied with power.

Abstract: A computing apparatus includes a network interface, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), an auxiliary controller and an activation controller. The CPU has active and switched-off operational states and is arranged, when operating in the active operational state, to accept data from a communication network using the network interface. The auxiliary display module is connected to the CPU and is arranged, when the CPU is in the switched-off operational state, to display auxiliary information to a user based on the data accepted by the CPU. The activation controller is coupled to intermittently switch the CPU to the active operational state and to cause the CPU to update the data from the communication network, so as to update the auxiliary information displayed by the auxiliary display module.

Abstract: A computing apparatus includes a primary keyboard and a primary display, which are respectively arranged to accept input from a user and to display information to the user. An auxiliary display is arranged to display auxiliary information to the user when the apparatus is in a switched-off operational state, and to hide the auxiliary information when deactivated. An activation controller is arranged to monitor the primary keyboard when the auxiliary display is deactivated, to detect an activation code comprising one or more keystrokes entered using the primary keyboard, and to activate the auxiliary display responsively to detecting the activation code.

Abstract: A computing apparatus includes a display, a Central Processing Unit (CPU) having active and switched-off operational states and an auxiliary display controller, which is active when the CPU is in the switched-off operational state. The computing apparatus further includes a switch, which is operative to connect the CPU to the display when the CPU is in the active operational state, so as to display first information produced by the CPU, and to connect the auxiliary display controller to the display when the CPU is in the switched-off operational state, so as to display second information produced by the auxiliary display controller.
