The invention relates generally to a method and system for monitoring traffic events at a predetermined location, using a temporary video camera set up to record traffic movements through an intersection or other location along a road. The method preferably comprises taking a video recording of the location, and then sending the recording to a foreign country where the recording can be reviewed manually at a reduced cost. To facilitate an accurate and consistent review of the recording, the invention preferably uses “event lines” that can be superimposed on the video monitor, wherein the event lines help determine when a vehicle has passed through an intersection, i.e., when a recordable traffic event occurs. The system also preferably uses a computer-operated program adapted to assist the operator in reviewing, verifying and summarizing the recorded information, wherein a particular key or keys can be pressed depending on the type of event to be indicated. The system is also able to identify the exact frame number of a recordable event that corresponds to an exact moment in real time, i.e., when the event actually occurred. A tripod-like apparatus for temporarily setting up a video camera in locations where no existing pole or structure is available, as well as a tamper-proof housing in which the video recording device can be temporarily mounted, can also be provided.

Disclosed is a process of determining, at a point during shipment, whether the solid phase refrigerant in a shipment is sufficient to preserve the shipment cargo, which is blood or other biological products, for the remaining shipment period, by: monitoring the temperatures encountered to said point and estimating the temperatures likely to be encountered during the remaining shipment period; determining the likelihood that the remaining refrigerant can maintain the shipment cargo within a specified temperature range during the remaining shipment period; and if the risk that the remaining refrigerant cannot maintain the shipment cargo within said range during the remaining shipment period is above a cut-off level, then taking action to preserve the value of the cargo.

The invention relates to a system and a method for the prediction of epileptic seizures by continuous measurement of at least one signal on the body of a user. A sensor unit measures the heart rate continuously and is connected to a processor unit. The processor unit comprises a verification unit, which stores those measurements that comprise verifiable heartbeats or heart rates in a database. An analysis unit in the processor analyzes the verified measurements to determine whether a preictal phase is present or not. The processor comprises a summation unit, which continuously determines the value of an indication signal on the basis of the signal from the analysis unit. The signal indicates the probability of an imminent epileptic seizure. The value of the indication signal may be determined on the basis of at least two values of the signal from the analysis unit. An alarm unit connected to the processor unit generates one or more alarms, if the indication signal exceeds one or more alarm levels.

The invention discloses a dynamically extensible and efficient single packet tracing method. The method comprises the following steps: in an inter-domain network composed of transit domains, constructing an anti-anonymous union by using all tracing Stub domains, wherein the anti-anonymous union configures ACL filtering rules on boundary routers of the tracing Stub domains, so that all anonymous packets entering the inter-domain network are cleared; constructing a tracing network in the tracing Stub domains, and establishing path fingerprint in the tracing network; and after the occurrence of attack, a network service provider directly locates an attack domain via the source address and an inlet router of the anonymous packet by using the anti-anonymous union, and then reduces an attack path through the extracted path fingerprint. By adoption of the dynamically extensible and efficient single packet tracing method disclosed by the invention, the coupling between autonomous domains is weakened so as to achieve the purpose of phased management and flexible control, and the leakage of the network topology privacy is avoided as well, which is beneficial to the expansion of the scale of the tracing system.
