| 20100049266 | CPR COACHING DEVICE WITH REDUCED SENSITIVITY TO MOTION - A CPR coaching device is designed for placement on the chest of a patient during CPR. Chest compressions are delivered to the patient by a rescuer by pressing on the device. A force sensor and an accelerometer are located in the device and are responsive to the chest compressions. When the patient's body is stationary there will be a high correlation of a depth signal produced by doubly integrating the acceleration signal of the accelerometer and the force signal, and the depth signal is deemed reliable. When the patient's body is subject to motion such as by the motion of a vehicle transporting the patient, there will be a low correlation of the depth and force signals, with the force signal being relatively immune to this motion. In such cases, the force signal is used in association with the previously determined relationship between depth and force in the absence of motion to produce an indication of chest compression depth. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090125074 | MODULAR MEDICAL DEVICE, BASE UNIT AND MODULE THEREOF, AND AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED), METHODS FOR ASSEMBLING AND USING THE AED - A modular automated external defibrillator (AED) system includes a base unit and at least one interconnected module. The base unit typically includes a functional circuit and includes an interface that couples the functional circuit to the module. Likewise, the module includes an interface that couples the module to the base unit By manufacturing such modular AED models instead of one-piece, i.e., integrated, AED models, a manufacturer can reduce the cost and complexity of its manufacturing process. Furthermore, the manufacturer may be able to bring such a modular AED to market more quickly than it could bring an integrated model of the AED to market. Moreover, a modular AED allows the manufacturer and customer flexibility in respectively providing and selecting feature sets. In addition, a customer can obtain replacements for broken modules, and the manufacturer can provide cheaper upgrades by upgrading a module or base unit instead of upgrading the entire AED. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20100251268 | SERIALIZED ACCESS TO AN I/O ADAPTER THROUGH ATOMIC OPERATION - Disclosed is a computer implemented method, computer program product, and apparatus to enqueue one or more packets in a device driver for an I/O adapter. A device driver receives, by a processor executing the device driver, a reference to a list of transmit packets. The device driver may then atomically fetch and set a transmit active flag, wherein atomically setting comprises determining a former status of the transmit active flag. Responsive to a determination that a former status of the transmit active flag is different than a current status of the transmit active flag, the device driver atomically removes, by a processor executing the device driver, any packets referenced by a host machine transmit queue reference. The device driver pre-pends transmit packets referenced by the host machine transmit queue reference to the list of transmit packets to form an augmented list of transmit packets. The device driver builds a work request based on the augmented list of transmit packets. The device driver notifies the I/O adapter of the work request. The device driver atomically resets the transmit active flag. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110231406 | MULTICAST ADDRESS SEARCH INCLUDING MULTIPLE SEARCH MODES - An information handling system (IHS) includes a network adapter having a hardware address store that stores multicast addresses and a device driver that stores multicast addresses in a software address store. When there is no more storage space available in the hardware address store for multicast addresses, the device driver stores multicast addresses in the software address store. When the IHS receives a multicast information packet, the network adapter searches the hardware address store for a multicast address corresponding to that multicast information packet. If the search of the hardware address store does not find that multicast address, then the device driver searches the software address store for that multicast address. The IHS may prioritize the multicast addresses in the hardware address store and the software address store on a most frequently used basis, a most recently used basis or a most popular basis. For example, the hardware address store may store addresses that are more frequently used than those in the software address store. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110265095 | Resource Affinity via Dynamic Reconfiguration for Multi-Queue Network Adapters - A mechanism is provided for providing resource affinity for multi-queue network adapters via dynamic reconfiguration. A device driver allocates an initial queue pair within a memory. The device driver determines whether workload of the data processing system has risen above a predetermined high threshold. Responsive to the workload rising above the predetermined high threshold, the device driver allocates and initializes an additional queue pair in the memory. The device driver programs a receive side scaling (RSS) mechanism in a network adapter to allow for dynamic insertion of an additional processing engine associated with the additional queue pair. The device driver enables transmit tuple hashing to the additional queue pair. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20090249371 | BUFFER ALLOCATION FOR NETWORK SUBSYSTEM - The present invention provides a computer implemented method and apparatus for allocating communication buffers in a data processing system. The method comprises a streamlined mbuf pool service receiving a call from an I/O device driver, then determining if at least one mbuf linked list is empty. In response to a determination that at least one mbuf linked list is empty, the streamlined mbuf pool service calls an OS mbuf allocator to provide all mbufs in a second mbuf linked list, wherein the second mbuf linked list comprises a head of the second mbuf linked list. The streamlined mbuf pool service repopulates the second mbuf linked list, obtains a requested mbuf from the second mbuf linked list, and advances the head of the second mbuf linked list by at least one mbuf. The streamlined mbuf pool service then returns the requested mbuf to the I/O device driver, wherein the OS mbuf allocator allocates all mbufs in the second mbuf linked list. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100223419 | COPY CIRCUMVENTION IN A VIRTUAL NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - A method, system, and computer program product for circumventing data copy operations in a virtual network environment. The method includes copying a data packet from a user space to a first kernel space of a first logical partition (LPAR). Using a hypervisor, a mapped address of a receiving virtual Ethernet driver in a second LPAR is requested. The first mapped address is associated with a buffer of the receiving virtual Ethernet driver. The data packet is copied directly from the first kernel space of the first LPAR to a destination in a second kernel space of the second LPAR. The destination is determined utilizing the mapped address. The direct copying to the destination bypasses (i) a data packet copy operation from the first kernel space to a transmitting virtual Ethernet driver of the first LPAR, and (ii) a data packet copy operation via the hypervisor. The receiving virtual Ethernet driver is notified that the data packet has been successfully copied to the destination in the second LPAR. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20120130078 | INDAZOLE DERIVATIVES AS ADENOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE DEAMINASE (AMPD) INHIBITORS FOR USE IN DIABETES AND RELATED DISEASES OF METABOLIC SYNDROME - Herein, we describe a method for treatment of diabetes and other disorders classified as Metabolic Syndrome. The invention provides novel AMP Deaminase (AMPD) inhibitors comprising novel indazole and benzotriazole derivatives including a phosphorous containing derivative, a carboxylic acid, or an amino acid ester prodrug. The invention also provides support for a novel mechanism of action for the existing drug metformin: direct inhibition of the enzyme AMPD. The inhibition of AMPD in turn activates AMP Kinase, known to be linked to the action of metformin. The invention also makes novel use of a double inhibitor assay allowing identification of selective AMPD inhibitors over ADA inhibitors. The new inhibitors, structurally distinct from metformin, offer selectivity that may obviate side effects known for metformin itself, providing new benefits for diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome. | 05-24-2012 |
