Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments include a method for automatic detection of sleep apnea implemented in a medical apparatus, the method comprising (a) extracting a plurality of signal features by analyzing an oxygen saturation signal, (b) performing dimensionality reduction on the plurality of signal features to generate a plurality of signal features in a transformed space; and (c) displaying a sleep apnea diagnosis result based on a statistical classifier that operates on the plurality of signal features in a transformed space.
Abstract:
A provider edge (PE) node of a network operates to send a trace path message over the network to a receiver PE node, the trace path message recording a list of intermediate nodes of a unicast path from the PE node to the receiver PE node; and receive a join message initiated from the receiver PE node, the join message using the list to propagate to the source PE node through the intermediate nodes such that a branch of a multicast tree is aligned with the unicast path. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
Abstract:
A method of purifying a hydrogen stream using an electrochemical cell having an enclosed electrically conductive cylindrical outer shell and a hollow wet polymeric membrane located within and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member which provides an inner compartment and an outer compartment. An electrode having a longitudinal axis is located within the inner compartment and is spaced from the hollow polymeric membrane. A gas inlet for feeding a hydrogen stream that is to be purified communicates with the inner compartment and a gas outlet is provided for passing purified hydrogen gas thru the cylindrical outer shell. The electrode within the hollow wet polymeric membrane is connected to an anode terminal of a dc supply with an electrical conductor and the outer shell of the cylindrical shaped member is connected to a cathode terminal of the dc supply with another electrical conductor.
Abstract:
Facilitating Bi-Directional PIM communication between hosts in different multicast domains. A first rendezvous point (RP) router contained in a first multicast domain receives a first control packet. The first control packet includes a first multicast destination address G1. In response to receiving the first control packet, the first RP router generates a second control packet. This second control packet includes a second multicast destination address G2, wherein the second multicast destination address G2 is distinct from the first multicast IP address G1. After the second control packet is generated, the first RP router transmitting the second control packet toward a second RP router contained in a second multicast domain. The second control packet initiates a distribution tree building process between the first and second RP routers. This distribution tree can be used to transmit multicast data packets between the first and second RP routers. For example, first RP router encapsulates multicast data packets it receives from sources in the first RP router's domain. The first RP router then transmits the encapsulated packets to the second RP via the distribution tree. The second RP router receives the encapsulated packets. The second RP router decapsulates the packets to produce the multicast data packets, which are subsequently distributed to hosts within the second RP router's domain.
Abstract:
A method for hydride gas purification uses materials having at least one lanthanide metal or lanthanide metal oxide. The method reduces contaminants to less than 100 parts per billion (ppb), preferably 10 ppb, more preferably 1 ppb. The material can also include transition metals and transition metal oxides, rare earth elements and other metal oxides. The invention also includes materials for use in the method of the invention.
Abstract:
The lighting and/or signaling system according to the invention comprises at least one lighting and/or signaling device which is able to emit at least one light beam and is equipped with at least one actuator for adjusting an angle of the light beam, and at least one actuator control device for controlling the actuator. According to the invention, the actuator control device transmits an active setpoint information item to the actuator only when a current value of the setpoint information item differs substantially from a previous value of the setpoint information item. The improved actuator control incorporated in the system according to the invention helps to achieve greater reliability and a longer service life.
Abstract:
The invention is a method and apparatus for removing metal compounds from ultra-high purity gases using a purifier material comprising a high surface area inorganic oxide, so that the metals do not deposit on a sensitive device and cause device failure.
Abstract:
A system and method to facilitate Bi-Directional PIM communication between hosts in different multicast domains. In one embodiment of the method, a first rendezvous point (RP) router contained in a first multicast domain receives a first control packet. The first control packet includes a first multicast destination address G1. In response to receiving the first control packet, the first RP router generates a second control packet. This second control packet includes a second multicast destination address G2, wherein the second multicast destination address G2 is distinct from the first multicast IP address G1. After the second control packet is generated, the first RP router transmitting the second control packet toward a second RP router contained in a second multicast domain. In one embodiment, the second control packet initiates a distribution tree building process between the first and second RP routers. This distribution tree can be used to transmit multicast data packets between the first and second RP routers. For example, first RP router encapsulates multicast data packets it receives from sources in the first RP router's domain. The first RP router then transmits the encapsulated packets to the second RP via the distribution tree. The second RP router receives the encapsulated packets. The second RP router decapsulates the packets to produce the multicast data packets, which are subsequently distributed to hosts within the second RP router's domain.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for the removal of a number of molecular contaminants from surfaces within a device. A purge gas containing oxygen and/or water is introduced into the interior of the device, contacting at least a portion of the interior surfaces. A contaminated purge gas is produced by transferring a portion of the contamination from the interior surfaces into the purge gas. The contaminated purge gas is removed from the device and the process is continued until the contaminant concentration in the contaminated purge gas is below a predetermined level.
