System and methods for task management of rule based tasks. The task management system of the invention includes various modules that work together to accomplish task monitoring, scheduling, prioritization, compliance and reporting. A task management module facilitates the development of task compliance by scheduling and prioritizing tasks based on the needs of the enterprise. The tasks are provided in task modules that set out specific steps for completing the tasks. A common database is operatively connected to the task management module, task module and other modules to maintain the rules and policies, the tasks to be completed and the responses to those tasks.

A method for the selective elevation and separation of tissues comprised of multiple layers and a surgical instrument for performing the method. The method may be performed without the requirement of a solid mechanical device insertion or transection through the mucosal layer. In particular, the method and surgical instrument may be used for the selected separation and / or resection of selected portions of benign or malignant tissues (e.g. defining tissue planes, polyp elevation and removal, submucosal tissue tunneling, endoscopic mucosa resection, etc).

The invention relates to a method for performing inter-system handovers in a communication system comprising at least a mobile station, a call state control function, a first and a second call control node, a first and a second media gateway and a radio network node. The handover is achieved by way of connecting a call control node to a call state control function. The call control node allocates a media gateway for the session established. The session media bearers are routed via the media gateway. The call control node acts as an anchor node for the handover. As the mobile station moves to a new cell a media bearer is established to the media gateway from the mobile station via the new cell.

An angioplasty balloon having an elastic constraining structure that partially expands with the balloon so that, at maximum balloon inflation, the constraining structure forms a pattern of channels or “pillows” on the balloon.

Methods, devices and device components are presented for uniformly treating fluids undergoing mixing with electromagnetic radiation. In one aspect, the present invention provides methods of treating a fluid undergoing continuous fluid mixing wherein net radiant energies necessary to provide uniform treatment of the fluid samples with electromagnetic radiation are calculate on the basis of the volume, mass or mixing rate of the fluid or any combination of these variables. In another aspect, the present invention provides algorithms for determining net radiation energies, radiant powers, and / or illumination times necessary for providing uniform treatment of fluid samples. The present invention provides methods for uniformly reducing pathogens in biological fluids, including blood and blood components.

A high level of security and fault tolerance is provided in a digital network by use of highly secure infrastructure of user transparent signalling for communicating detection of signals at a network node having characteristics of a potential attack to another node and controlling communications at routers at the node from another node in response to the user transparent signals. A processor is connected to the routers and the network through an encryption engine and includes a manager object to issue control commands to nodes of a locally lower hierarchy tier and managed objects to detect potential attacks and exercise control over the routers responsive to signals from a node of a locally higher hierarchy tier. Identifications are provided for communications between nodes regardless of whether or not a corresponding user is identified and communications are logged. Thus any network session comprises one or more secure sessions in a plurality of security domains and any fault or potential attack can be compartmentalized to a node or sector of the network and isolated while normal communications are continued over redundant network links.

A fluid treatment unit (1) is provided. The fluid treatment unit (1) comprises a chamber, in which at least one fine grinding fluid treatment medium is accommodated. The chamber has an inlet (15) for introduction of a fluid to be treated and an outlet (16) for discharge of a treated fluid. The inlet (15) is provided at a lower portion of the chamber and the outlet (16) is provided at an upper portion of the chamber. A fluid treatment device (100) adopting the above fluid treatment unit (1) is also provided. The fluid treatment unit (1) and the fluid treatment device (100) enable the fluid treatment medium to be self-cleaned and the fluid to be treated uniformly.

The invention relates to an engineering method and system for industrial automation systems, in particular for MES systems, based on at least one computational unit with an input auxiliary device, an output auxiliary device, in addition to at least one display device. According to said method, the modelled objects comprise installation structures or installation parts and are linked to meta information. The modelled objects are structured in the engineering method as hierarchical trees and can be interconnected by lateral networking or by means of a cursor. The objects are executed in run-time by evaluating the meta information in a target system, whereby the functions of an installation that has been modelled in the engineering method are determined from the structure of the tree and the networked connections.
