This disclosure describes improved systems and methods for displaying, accessing, and changing respiratory settings in a ventilatory system. Specifically, the present disclosure provides for one or more settings access elements, each corresponding to an individual ventilatory setting, for efficiently adjusting displayed ventilatory settings. Access elements may be easily identified as buttons, tabs, icons, or other access displays. After settings have been accessed and changed, pending settings changes may be visually identified on the GUI, or other user interface. In addition, pending settings changes associated with one or more screens of a GUI may be easily identified. Acceptance elements may also be provided which indicate whether one, multiple, or no pending settings changes are available for acceptance.

This disclosure describes improved systems and methods for visualizing the application of changes to respiratory settings in a ventilatory system. Specifically, the present disclosure provides for a setup animation window that may be easily accessed from a setup icon, for example, and also provides for a settings animation window that may be easily accessed from any number of displayed ventilatory settings. In fact, the setup animation window may be directly accessed by touching, clicking, or otherwise selecting the setup icon and may expand from the setup icon to display any number of settings access elements. Alternatively, the settings animation window may be directly accessed by touching, clicking, or otherwise selecting any one of the displayed ventilatory settings and may expand from the displayed ventilatory settings to provide corresponding settings access elements. The corresponding settings access elements each corresponding to an individual ventilatory setting of the displayed ventilatory settings and useful for efficiently adjusting the displayed ventilatory settings. Ventilatory settings may be changed and accepted via either animation window. In one embodiment, upon accepting settings changes from the settings animation window, settings may appear to visually float or fade into the displayed ventilatory settings. In this embodiment, clinicians may view the settings changes as they are accepted and applied to the GUI.

A dual energy scanning densitometry system for imaging and measuring bone density maintains acceptable flux by adjusting the x-ray current or scan speed according to preceding scan line data. The amount of acceptable flux is maintained within limits modified by information about the region of the body being scanned so that different precisions may be maintained for different body regions. Scan speed and current may be controlled so that scan speed is maximized within the current limits. Essentially continuous flux control can be achieved.

A method and apparatus which allows dynamic TDD UL/DL configuration that is able to adapt to an instantaneous traffic situation. The values of at least one uplink/downlink configuration indication bit in a predetermined region in a received downlink time division duplex subframe of wireless data transmission are examined. A time division duplex uplink/downlink configuration for a predetermined configuration period is determined based on the examined values.

An implantable artificial sphincter system provides long-term adjustment via transcutaneous energy transfer (TET), minimizing invasive adjustment through adding or removing fluid via a syringe. An infuser device provides bi-directional fluid transfer via a flexible conduit to a sphincter band, such as a gastric band, by a combination of thermodynamic actuation and a piezo-electrically disengaged drum brake assembly that thereby achieves a desirable small volume device. A propellant within a propellant cavity surrounds a metal bellows accumulator biased at body temperature to either expand or collapse the bellows accumulator with the opposite direction of movement effected by a thermal element that heats in combination with a negatively-biased propellant or cools in combination with a positively-biased propellant. A drum brake assembly locks the metal bellows accumulator in place between adjustments by thermodynamic actuation by activating piezo-electric stack actuators that disengage calipers from a brake drum attached to the bellows accumulator.

A method and apparatus for recovering a three-dimensional (3D) scene from two-dimensional (2D) images. A sequence of images is divided into a number of smaller segments and a 3D reconstruction is performed on each segment individually. All the reconstructed segments are then combined together through an efficient bundle adjustment to complete the 3D reconstruction. Segmenting may be achieved by dividing the segments based on the number of feature points that are in each frame. The number of frames per segment is reduced by creating virtual key frames. The virtual key frames encode the 3D structure for each segment, but are only a small subset of the original frames in the segment. A final bundle adjustment is performed on the virtual key frames, rather than all of the original frames. Thus, the final bundle adjustment is two orders of magnitude faster than a conventional bundle adjustment.
