Systems, devices and methods provide for acquiring respiration information. A respiration information device includes timer circuitry to time a plurality of shorter time apertures and a plurality of longer time apertures. A respiration sensor, which may be implemented as a transthoracic impedance sensor, is configured to generate a signal indicative of patient respiration. For each aperture of the plurality of shorter time apertures and for each aperture of the plurality of longer time apertures, an estimated characteristic of the respiration is determined. Respiration metrics are developed using one or both of the estimated respiration characteristics of the shorter time apertures and the estimated respiration characteristics of the longer time apertures.

A parent defines friend rules for on-line association with their child. Upon a request of an on-line stranger to be a new friend of the child, stranger information about the on-line stranger is retrieved and compared to the friend rules to determine whether the stranger is allowed, blocked or restricted from being a friend with the child. Accordingly, the parent only has to use a minimal amount of time in establishing the friend rules to protect the parent's child from on-line strangers.

A tool comprises a surface area, the area being printed in one of two different first colors for identifying the tool as one labeled in either the British system or the metric system, and a numeral as a representation of a size of the tool disposed in the area, the numeral having a second color different from the first color of the area for providing a contrast of the numeral to other portions of both the area and the tool. The correct size of the tool thus can be quickly identified. Moreover, a number of embodiments are made possible.

Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying a new set of media items in response to an input set (or “query set”) of media items and knowledge base metrics. The system uses a knowledge base consisting of a collection of mediasets. Various metrics among media items are considered by analyzing how the media items are grouped to form the mediasets in the knowledge base. Such association or “similarity” metrics are preferably stored in a matrix form that allows the system to efficiently identify a new set of media items that complements the input set of media items.

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for monitoring audio-video (AV) streams transported over a network. The system may include at least one AV probe configured for installation at a network node. The at least one AV probe may be configured to receive an incoming AV stream at a native frame rate and to capture at least one thumbnail of the incoming AV stream at a sampling rate which is less than the native frame rate to form a thumbnail stream. The at least one AV probe may be further configured to timestamp and transmit the thumbnail stream, and to forward the incoming AV stream substantially in real-time. The system may further include at least one monitoring engine operatively connected with the at least one AV probe, the at least one monitoring engine configured to receive the thumbnail stream, capture AV data from the thumbnail stream, and transform the AV data into a visual representation of AV stream quality of experience (QoE).

A medical measuring apparatus for measuring a lumen of an intracorporeal passage as it appears in an image wherein the apparatus preferably includes a measuring adjunct and an object to image retainer. The measuring adjunct preferably includes at least one geometric figure outline having a border formed by a portion of the measuring adjunct such that an aperture having a geometric shape is defined for measuring the lumen of the intracorporeal passage. The at least one geometric figure outline preferably includes a corresponding measurement specification (for example, in the metric system). In at least one embodiment, the at least one geometric figure outline is preferably utilized to measure an occlusion associated with the intracorporeal passage (for example, a renal tumor). The object to image retainer is for housing the measuring adjunct and compensates for a magnification ratio relating to the intracorporeal passage and the intracorporeal passage as it appears in the image.

A method and system for automatically updating and synchronizing contact center agent skill data maintained in a central agent skill database with a routing system based upon skill-changing events triggered in skill-Impacting systems. Contact center agent skills may be maintained in a skill database for a set of agents. A skill-impacting system (such as an education system, a satisfaction system or a metrics system) may send skill / capability data for an agent. The agent's profile in the skill database may be updated based on the received skill data. Either immediately, when triggered by an event, or at a predetermined interval, a routing system's routing logic may be synchronized with the new data in the agent's profile. When the contact center receives a contact (such as a phone call, an email, a web chat, an instant message, or a fax) from a customer, processing logic in the routing system may select a best-fit agent based on availability and skill data from the agent profiles.

Systems and methods for presenting offers based on personal metrics are provided. A user uses a mobile device or a wearable device with sensors to measure various personal metrics. The user uses the device to track activity, sleep, vital signs, and any other personal metrics. A service provider receives the personal metric data and other personal metric information. The service provider receives offers, such as coupons and voucher deals, for products and / or services from merchants. The service provider then presents offers to the user based on personal metric information of the user and other information, such as sleep patterns, hours slept, activity levels, distance traveled, measured heart rates, time of day, and / or location.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are for generating service order count metrics. A selected subset of all customer order information is extracted from a database table and stored in a summary table and detail table. The information, including text strings associated with communication device identifiers, is extracted for a selected period of time, linked together by order number, and stored in a completions table within a local database. The completions table is searched in cycles according to different search criteria of decreasing order of reliability in order to reconcile the order information in the completions table with the completed order count from the summary table. Once the orders in the completions table are accurate, logic is employed to count the number of communication device identifiers from the text strings corresponding to each order number.

The invention relates to a computer aided design interface. In a CAD system, dimensions are entered as an arithmetic combination of quantities expressed in both English and metric units. The system converts the units and combines the quantities to produce the dimension. Also, an undo tool stores undo information in nonvolatile storage, so that drawing operations may be undone at any subsequent time, even after a file has been saved and retrieved, or transferred to another user. The system also associates drawn content with a paper size and orientation, rather than a specific printer, and associates each paper size and type with a printer, so that when printing a page, the paper size and type associated therewith can be used to select a printer. In this way, content may be printed on an appropriate printer based upon a paper size and orientation, without storing printer selections or details in the file.
