    摘要: A method for reducing the risk of neurological injury to a neonatal human child includes the steps of: (I) monitoring in a pregnant patient during labor at least a first set of parameters indicative of a present level of risk for neurological injury to the child as a fetus; (II) during the period between a cervical dilatation of 10 cm in the patient and delivery of the child and/or during at least the first 5 minutes following delivery of the child, determining a present level of risk for neurological injury to the child based on the at least first set of parameters at a given point in time during labor that is between a cervical dilatation of 10 cm in the patient and delivery of the child, and wherein the determined present level of risk corresponds to one of a plurality of predetermined levels of predicted risk for neurological injury to the child as a neonate; and (III) commencing monitoring the child for one or more postnatal parameters indicative of neurological injury or its onset within the first 5 minutes following delivery of the child, and/or performing one or more measures for treating the child for neurological injury or its onset within the first 60 minutes following delivery of the child.

    摘要: An apparatus for identifying the level of fetal risk during labor, the apparatus comprising: at least one computer operative to receive input signals indicative of at least fetal heart rate (“FHR”) and maternal uterine activity in a patient, the computer operative (i) to determine baseline FHR variability, FHR accelerations, and FHR decelerations, and (ii) to determine when each of at least (a) FHR, (b) baseline FHR variability, (c) FHR accelerations, (d) FHR decelerations, and (e) maternal uterine activity exhibit at least one non-reassuring characteristic from among a plurality of pre-defined non-reassuring characteristics for at least the parameters (a) through (e). The computer is further operative to (iii) receive user-inputs indicative of the presence in the patient of one or more (f) maternal risk factors, (g) obstetrical risk factors, and (h) fetal risk factors which elevate the level of fetal risk during labor, and (iv) to determine at a given point in time during labor a present level of risk to the fetus which takes into account only: the total number of the parameters (a) through (e) that are each simultaneously, independently exhibit at least one of the non-reassuring characteristics at the given point in time during labor, and the total number of the parameters (f) through (h) which are present. An output depicts in a single graphical user interface one or more of the parameters (a) through (h) over time during labor, and the appearance of which single graphical user interface includes indicia for indicating the determined present level of risk to the fetus at any given point in time during labor and signaling the need for possible intervention in labor.

    摘要: A hedged exposure and an associated hedging instrument can be accounted for to reduce periodic earnings volatility associated with the hedged exposure. The accounting to reduce the earnings volatility includes designating a portion of the value of the financial exposure as being hedged by the hedging instrument. The designated portion is determined based on a price sensitivity of the hedging instrument with respect to changes in market value of an underlying instrument. In each of a number of sequential periods, the portion of the financial exposure is redesignated based on changed price sensitivity of the hedging instrument. Periodic earnings volatility associated with a hedged exposure also can be reduced by dividing (for accounting purposes) the hedging instrument into a first part (also referred to as a designated part) and a second part (also referred to as a residue part). This division is made in a way that ensures that changes in the value of the first part substantially offset changes in value of the financial exposure. The method also includes designating a portion of the first part as a hedge of the financial exposure such that the remainder of the first part offsets the delta of the second part. In each of a plurality of sequential periods, the portion of the first part is redesignated to maintain the relationship between the first part and the second part whereby the remainder of the first part offsets the delta of the second part.

    摘要: An earnings volatility reduction procedure includes determining a first sensitivity value of a portfolio to underlying market conditions, trading in an immunizing instrument having a second sensitivity value substantially equal in magnitude and opposite in value of the first sensitivity value, and trading in a qualifying instrument having a third sensitivity value substantially equal to the first sensitivity value. A derivative portfolio (in particular, one that includes a financial instrument for which changes in value are characterized as earnings pursuant to FAS 133) is structured by determining a sensitivity of the derivative portfolio with respect to financial conditions in a trading market, executing an immunizing purchase of a second trading instrument in an amount equal to the magnitude of the current sensitivity and opposite in value, and executing a qualifying sale of a third trading instrument in an amount equal to amount of the current sensitivity.

    摘要: X-ray apparatus comprises a linear accelerator adapted to produce a beam of electrons at one of at least two selectable energies and being controlled to change the selected energy on a periodic basis, and a target to which the beam is directed thereby to produce a beam of x-radiation, the target being non-homogenous and being driven to move periodically in synchrony with the change of the selected energy. In this way, the target can move so that a different part is exposed to the electron beam when different pulses arrive. This enables the appropriate target material to be employed depending on the selected energy. The easiest form of periodic movement for the target is likely to be a rotational movement. The target can be immersed in a coolant fluid such as water. The linear accelerator can be of the type disclosed in WO2006/097697A1. The target preferably contains at least one exposed area of tungsten and/or at least one exposed area of carbon. These can be present as inhomogeneities in the material of which the target is composed, such as Carbon inserts in a Tungsten substrate (or vice versa), alternating segments of Carbon and Tungsten, Carbon and Tungsten inserts in a substrate of a third material, or arrangements involving other materials in addition to or instead of Carbon and/or Tungsten. Alternatively, the target can be of a homogenous material but have inhomogeneities in its thickness to cater for the different electron energies. The same concept can be applied to the filter. A detector can be provided, operating in synchrony with the energy variation. Such an x-ray apparatus can form a part of a radiotherapy apparatus, in which case the first selected energy can be a diagnostic energy and a second selected energy a therapeutic energy.

    摘要: An inline electromagnetic tool actuator incorporates an actuator housing, an elongated armature, a tool assembly, spaced-apart return magnets, at least one drive magnet, and at least one magnet wire. The elongated armature is located inside the housing, and is adapted for reciprocating linear movement along a notional assembly axis. The tool assembly is operatively attached to the armature. The return magnets are located inside the housing, and are coaxially aligned with the armature. The return magnets have respective inward facing surfaces defining respective magnetic poles. The drive magnet is affixed to the armature, and is arranged between the return magnets. The drive magnet has opposing outward facing surfaces each of like polarity to adjacent inward facing surfaces of the return magnets. The magnet wire is coiled about the armature. When electrically charged with an alternating current, the wire creates an alternating magnetic field causing the drive magnet to bounce back and forth between repelling forces of the return magnets, whereby the armature and attached tool assembly reciprocate along the assembly axis relative to the housing.
