A technique is provided for offering feedback, including feedback for patient care and for training purposes for medical professionals and human operators. The technique includes accessing data, such as image data, for evaluation by a human operator. The data is then analyzed via a computer-assisted data operating algorithm, and the analysis may further include analysis of supplemental data accessed from an integrated knowledge base. Based upon the analysis feedback is provided to the operator, such as for completing or complementing the evaluation, correcting analysis by the human operator, or otherwise informing the human operator of similarities or differences between the analyses.

Measuring elements for the output of measured quantities in respect of the flow, namely the flow quantity and direction, the water pressure and the flow noise are integrated in a measurement probe (1) for water supply networks (13), whereby all these measuring elements are connected or can be connected to a data collector (12) by means of transmission by radio, modem or cable connection.

Packet stream is generated by combining a plurality of packets corresponding to style-of-rendition identification information which are selected from among a number of packets usable for producing waveforms corresponding to various styles of rendition. Then, a waveform having characteristics of the style of rendition indicated by the style-of-rendition identification information is produced on the basis of the generated packet stream. The packet stream includes a plurality of packets and time information of the individual packets and controls the pitch, amplitude and shape of the waveform to be produced. By thus combining packets corresponding to the style-of-rendition identification information and producing a waveform on the basis of the packet stream, there can be provided a waveform corresponding to a desired style of rendition in a simplified manner with great facility.

To this end, one or a number of temperature sensors (28) is/are located according to the invention between combustion chamber wall (24) and heat shield elements (26).

An image capturing system includes a smartphone serving as an imaging unit, and a mounting stand to be disposed on a medium setting surface on which a medium serving as a reading target is set. The mounting stand has a placement surface on which the smartphone is placed at a position allowing the smartphone to image the medium set on the medium setting surface. When generating a starting trigger based on image information of an imaging area in the state where the smartphone is placed on the mounting stand, the smartphone executes a function (scanning operation) associated with the starting trigger.
