During childbirth, trauma to the infant can readily arise, ultimately resulting in fetal hypoxia, academia, and brain damage. Such unfavorable conditions can be best ascertained by real-time monitoring of the fetus' blood-oxygen level, heart rate monitoring, EKG and EEG waveforms. This invention describes a system of monitoring devices to implement such goals and maximize the potential welfare of the fetus. It furthermore allows the formation of a reference database that can correlate intrapartum events from prior births. The embodiments utilize a small-diameter sensor inserted into the birth canal through a tubular insertion rod. Through wire, fiber optics, and or using a radio frequency link, fetal monitor data can be analyzed, compared to existing data base, and or transmitted via internet. This patent details various apparatuses that allow important life-sign parameters of a fetus to be continuously monitored.

Described are system, method, and computer-program product embodiments for automatically ingesting data from disparate data sources into a target database having a target data schema. In some embodiments, the data is received in a data file including data columns formatted according to a data schema, and a data dictionary describing the source data columns. Count data is generated for each cell selected from a data column, each count datum including counts of occurrences of a detected characteristic in each cell. One or more target data columns from the target data schema can be selected and displayed to a user as being semantically related to the data column based on the count data for each cell, a column header of the data column, and the data dictionary. Based on input received from the user, a data table is generated to store the source columns and loaded into the target database.

A write cache provides for staging of data units written from a processor for recording in a disk. The order in which destages and validations occur is controlled to make validations more efficient. The data units are arranged in a circular queue according to their respective disk storage addresses. Each data unit is tagged with a state value of 1, 0, or −1. A destaging pointer is advanced one-by-one to each data unit like the hand of a clock. Each data unit pointed to is evaluated as a destage victim. The first step is to check its state value. A data unit newly brought into the write cache will have its state value reset to 0. It will stay that way until it receives an overwrite x command or the destage pointer clocks around to x. If an overwrite x, the state value is set to 1, in a way, indicating recent use of the data unit and postponing its destaging and eviction. If the destage pointer clocks around to x when the state was 0, then it's time to destage x and the state value is changed to −1. A write to the disk occurs and a later read will be used to verify the write. If the state value was already 1 when the destage pointer clocks around to x, the state value is reset to 0. If the destage pointer clocks around to x when the state is −1, the associated data is read from the disk and validated to be same as the copy in cache. If not, the destage of x is repeated, and the state value remains as −1. Otherwise, if the associated read for validation did return a success, then data unit x is evicted from the write cache.

A channel-based network user terminal including a set-top box, a display, and input devices. A non-volatile memory stores a semi-permanent copy of a channel table downloaded from a server via the Internet. The channel table includes a list of channel numbers, associated Internet site names, and associated Internet addresses. A volatile memory stores a temporary copy of the channel table during user sessions. The channel numbers and associated Internet site names are read from the volatile memory and displayed as a menu. A user selects an Internet site name from the menu, and enters the channel number associated with the selected Internet site name using a numeric keypad provided on a remote control input device. The user terminal then accesses the selected Internet site by reading the Internet address associated with the entered channel number from the volatile memory, and transmitting the Internet address onto the Internet.

Immediately after data write, a negative voltage which has an absolute value lager than that in data erase and which falls within a range over which no FN current flows is applied to a control gate, and at the same time 0 V is applied to a silicon substrate, source, and drain. In this manner, electrons trapped in a first gate oxide film are detrapped into the silicon substrate. This prevents a memory cell from passing write verify although electrons stored in a nitride film are few, prevents data changes caused by a decrease in the read margin, and improves the data holding characteristic of a memory cell.

The invention provides for the arrangement and management of timing of various domains on a large integrated circuit which introduces a phase offset between clock domains of neighboring cells to create a wavefront clock which propagates through the circuit at the same speed data propagates though the circuit. The cells of the integrated circuit are wavefront clock synchronized in that the phase offset introduced in a particular cell's clock is such that the arrival of a skewed clock and propagation delayed data from that cell's neighbor is synchronized with that particular cell's own clock. Wavefront clock synchronization mitigates at least some of the problems of clock skew and the associated effects of slowing data propagation and reduction of clock frequencies associated with large surface integrated circuits utilizing synchronized clock domains.

An electronic musical instrument loads, by a program process, automatic performance data representative of a musical piece and text data representative of characters into a RAM 24 to cause a musical tone signal generating circuit 14 to emit musical tone signals on the basis of the automatic performance data to reproduce the musical piece. In synchronization with the reproduction of the musical piece, the characters based on the text data are displayed on a display unit 13. The type, size, and color of the characters to be displayed are specified by a display mode control command contained in the automatic performance data. The total number of pages required when all the characters are sequentially displayed on the display unit 13 is calculated and stored for each of previously provided fonts. When any one of the fonts is selected, the stored total number of pages for the font is displayed. Pages to be displayed are switched in response to a text page control command contained in the automatic performance data. The present invention configured as above eliminates an inconvenience encountered in displaying characters in synchronization with reproduction of automatic performance data.
