A client station on computer network uses an operating system such as JavaOS which is permanently stored at the server rather than on storage media at the client location. JavaOS is loaded and installed at the client upon bootup of the client. Java is an interpreted language; the source is available at the server and is downloaded as such. Upon the occurrence of a malfunction that causes the client to go off-line, i.e., disappear from the network, a dump image is sent to the server before the client reboots, so that the cause of failure can be determined. The dump image includes the contents of memory, including the JavaOS operating system, and the stack, threads, registers, and local / global variables, which can be analyzed at a source level. This image is sent to the server in formatted packets, by a path separate from that of the TCP / IP network protocol, since the client would not be functioning properly on the network. At the server, the packets making up the dump image are stored on storage media, and the image is reformatted for use by a standard debugging tool, ICAT.

A computer network such as the internet has servers to deliver pages of data to remote users upon demand, and these pages usually contain links to further pages. The request for data is in the form of a page address sent by the user, identifying a specific page, usually by a "URL". The server has the ability to generate context-sensitive information about delivery of this page, including current loading at the server, transmission bandwidth for the server, and size of the data requested. The server can calculate the time needed to transfer the requested data, and send this information to the client. The user can then decide the transfer method desired, based on the information sent by the server. For example, the user may want immediate transfer, or delayed transfer, or may want to abort the request. The requested page may be sent later by email. The server may send this context-sensitive information for all of the links on a page, and the user station may display the information for a link when it is clicked, in one embodiment. In this manner, receipt of information can be selective, based on user's needs and network delays.

A client station on computer network uses an operating system such as JavaOS which is permanently stored at the server rather than on storage media at the client location. JavaOS is loaded and installed at the client upon bootup of the client. The JavaOS is loaded and installed at the client upon bootup of the client. Once the basic system is booted using local firmware, and the base file systems on the network are enabled, an application can begin running, and when it needs to use a particular class file a request will be made through the file system and will be routed over to a generic file system driver, on the client, which will then determine, using a set of configured information, where this class exists; it will utilize the particular file systems available on to that booted client, whether it be NFS, or TFTP, to determine where the server is and how to retrieve that particular class file. It will go ahead and force that operation to occur and the class file will be retrieved and cached locally on the client to be used by the application. In order to avoid loading unneeded or lesser-used parts of the JavaOS from the server to the client memory at boot time, groups of classes are broken out of the monolithic image of JavaOS, as part of the Java service loader model (JSL). JSL-provided packages allow an URL prefix to be provided as part of a package's configuration information. When a class method / data is requested by the loader via the filesystem, if it is not already present, the URL prefix is used to lazily retrieve and cache that file in memory. This allows classes and data files to be delivered as needed, and significantly reduces the amount of data to be retrieved by TFTP by the client at boot time.

The present invention relates generally a device for locating an indwelling catheter relative to its initial location. The system of the invention is based on emitting light from an optical probe placed on the patient to an optical marker on the tip of the catheter. The reflected light from the optical marker is then detected by the optical probe and the reading is recorded to memory as the reference measurement. The position of the optical probe on the patient is marked so that future measurements are taken from the same location. These future measurements will be compared to the reference measurement and from this comparison the displacement of the tip of the catheter is found and can be corrected. This system is fast, non-invasive, radiation free, and accurate to within 2-3 mm.
