A method for adjusting the window size of a TCP packet on a packet network is also included. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100099374 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION OF A MOBILE DEVICE TO A REVERSE 911 DATABASE - In one embodiment, when a mobile device is powered on, a mobile switching center acquires the contact information, such as, but not limited to, a phone number and the physical location associated with the mobile device. If the mobile device is a new device to the area, the contact information of the mobile device is passed to a reverse 911 database in order for a user of the mobile device to receive local alert messages transmitted by a reverse 911 system. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100099376 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTACT INFORMATION OF AN OUT OF AREA MOBILE DEVICE TO A REVERSE 911 DATABASE - A system and method for registering the contact information of mobile devices with a service 911 service is presented. In one embodiment, a mobile switching center receives the contact information of a mobile device. If the mobile switching center determines that the mobile device is not located within a particular wireless sub-network, such as, but not limited to, a wireless sub-network associated with an area code registered to the mobile device, the mobile switching center generates a reverse 911 registration text message and transmits the reverse 911 registration text message to the mobile device. A user of the mobile device may then transmit the reverse 911 registration text message to a local reverse 911 database to have the contact information associated with the mobile device added to the local reverse 911 database. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100195805 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING E-911 CALLS AND NOTIFYING FAMILY MEMBERS/FRIENDS OF THE CALLER - In one embodiment of the present invention, a method and system may be provided for providing notification that an emergency call is being placed. The system and method includes identifying a telephone call as being an emergency call, identifying a calling party of the telephone call, locating a notification list associated with the identified calling party, and sending a notification to members on the notification list. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20100069861 | Absorbent Articles Having Antimicrobial Properties And Methods of Manufacturing The Same - According to one embodiment, an absorbent article includes a moisture-impervious outer layer, an inner layer substantially co-extensive with the outer layer, and an absorbent layer interposed between the outer layer and the inner layer. The inner layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial booster. The absorbent layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial agent. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100204667 | Wound Dressing - A composite wound dressing comprising an absorbent portion coupled to the vapor permeable backing with a first adhesive and a wound contact portion having a first portion coupled to the absorbent portion with a second adhesive, and the wound contact portion having a second portion coupled to the vapor permeable backing with the first adhesive is disclosed. Further a skin securement portion coupled to the backing portion with the first adhesive, the skin securement portion including a semi-self adherent adhesive, and a void having a first size, wherein at least a portion of absorbent is accessible through the void. The wound contact portion has a size greater than the first size of the void. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20110245711 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERSONALIZED PHYSIOLOGIC PARAMETERS - Methods and apparatus combine patient measurement data with demographic or physiological data of the patient to determine an output that can be used to diagnose and treat the patient. A customized output can be determined based the demographics of the patient, physiological data of the patient, and data of a population of patients. In another aspect, patient measurement data is used to predict an impending cardiac event, such as acute decompensated heart failure. At least one personalized value is determined for the patient, and a patient event prediction output is generated based at least in part on the personalized value and the measurement data. For example, bioimpedance data may be used to establish a baseline impedance specific to the patient, and the patient event prediction output generated based in part on the relationship of ongoing impedance measurements to the baseline impedance. Multivariate prediction models may enhance prediction accuracy. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110270049 | Method and Apparatus for Remote Detection and Monitoring of Functional Chronotropic Incompetence - Methods and apparatus to determine the presence of and track functional chronotropic incompetence (hereinafter “CI”) in an in-home setting under conditions of daily living. The functional CI of the patient may be determined with one or more of a profile of measured patient heart rates, a measured maximum patient heart rate, or a peak of the heart rate profile, such as the peak of a heart rate distribution profile. The functional CI of the patient may be determined with the measured heart rate profile, in which the measured heart rate profile may correspond to heart rates substantially less than the maximum heart rate of the patient, such that the heart rate can be safely measured when the patient is remote from a health care provider. The functional CI of the patient may be determined based a peak of the remotely measured heart rate profile, for example a peak corresponding to the mode of the heart rate distribution profile. For example, the relative amounts of the profile of heart rates above the peak and heart rates below the peak can be compared to determine the CI. The peak of the heart rate profile of the remote heart rate data may be used to determine the heart rate reserve and functional CI of the patient. The changes in HR can be measured and correlated to one or more sensor parameters such as activity to determine CI of the patient. | 11-03-2011 |
