A method for assessing CPR performed during at least one resuscitation event includes obtaining a data set during each of the at least one resuscitation events, each data set including data characterizing the performance of chest compressions or ventilations, or both, on the patient during the at least one resuscitation event; processing the data set to determine a value of at least one parameter of the performance; and displaying a graphical representation of the at least one parameter. A graphical representation of a desired value or range of values of the at least one parameter may be displayed in a position for visual comparison with the determined value. A method for presenting information on a sequence of events during a resuscitation event includes: obtaining data on the sequence and timing of chest compression and lung ventilations from a defibrillator; and displaying symbols for chest compressions and lung ventilations in a linear sequence corresponding to the order in which the compressions and ventilations occurred, the linear distance between successive symbols being proportional to the temporal distance between the corresponding actions.

A computerized system for displaying, geolocating, and taking measurements from captured oblique images includes a data file accessible by the computer system. The data file includes a plurality of image files corresponding to a plurality of captured oblique images, and positional data corresponding to the images. Image display and analysis software is executed by the system for reading the data file and displaying at least a portion of the captured oblique images. The software retrieves the positional data for one or more user-selected points on the displayed image, and calculates a separation distance between any two or more selected points. The separation distance calculation is user-selectable to determine various parameters including linear distance between, area encompassed within, relative elevation of, and height difference between selected points.

A method for assigning of geocodes to addresses identifying entities on a street includes ordering a set of entity geocodes associated with a street segment based on ordering criteria such as the linear distance of the geocodes along the length of the street segment. Assignable addresses are matched with the ordered geocodes creating a correspondence between a numerical order of the assignable addresses and a linear order of the ordered set of geocodes, consistent with address range direction data and street segment side data. The geocodes may be implicit or explicit, locally unique or globally unique. The set of entity geocodes may be obtained by identifying image features in aerial imagery corresponding to streets and buildings and correlating this information with data from a street map database.

A capacitive position sensor comprising a preferably annular sensing path, the sensing path having one or more virtual buttons designated along its length. The sensing path has a plurality of terminals connected to it to subdivide it into a plurality of sections, each terminal providing a sensing channel for a signal indicative of capacitance. The sensing channels provide the signals to a processor, preferably a microcontroller, that is operable to distinguish between a user making a touch to actuate one of the virtual buttons, and a touch to perform a scrolling function. To be determined as a scroll, it is required that there is a succession of detects which span over at least a threshold distance, for example an angular or linear distance. To be determined as a touch, it is required that there is a succession of detects that all lie within one of the pre-assigned virtual button positions.

An apparatus includes a strap that is positional about a drill and maintains a static relationship therewith while a drill bit and chuck rotate. The apparatus includes a plurality of light sources and sensors. The light sources and sensors face forwardly and emit corresponding light arrays aligned parallel to the drill bit and measure a linear distance to a target surface respectively.

A mechanism communicates an output signal to a display screen so that a visual representation of the drill bit location becomes displayed on a display screen. The drill bit is aligned perpendicular to the work surface when the light sources are equidistantly spaced from the work surface.

Text input is corrected on a touch-sensitive display by presenting a list of candidate words in the interface which can be selected by touch input. The candidate list can include candidate words having two or more character types (e.g., Roman, kana, kanji). In one aspect, the candidate list can be scrolled using a finger gesture. When a user's finger traverses a candidate word and the touch is released, the candidate word is inserted into a document being edited. In another aspect, characters can be erased by touching a key (e.g., a backspace or delete key) and making a sliding, swiping, or other finger gesture. A number of characters proportional to a distance (e.g., a linear distance) of the finger gesture across the display are erased. If there are characters in a text input area, those characters are erased first, followed by characters in the document being edited.

There is disclosed an internal sizing apparatus comprising a pneumatically activated probe that moves axially within a shoe and non-destructively measures the interior dimensions of the shoe. A linear pneumatic actuator is mounted between a heel piece and a probe. A linear potentiometer is mounted above the actuator and also connects to the probe. The apparatus is inserted into a shoe with the heel piece seated against the interior heel portion of the shoe. A computer system controlling the actuator extends the probe linearly into the shoe until the probe contacts the toe portion of the shoe. The potentiometer then measures the linear distance traveled by the probe and thus determines the internal linear dimension of the shoe. Depending on the type of probe, three-dimensional internal measurements of the shoe can also be quantified.

Calibration of a motorized roller shade is accomplished by calculating a radius of a roller tube and thickness of a shade fabric rotatably supported by the roller tube. First, a lower edge of the shade fabric is moved to a first position at a first linear distance from a predetermined position. Second, a first number of revolutions of the roller tube between the first position and the predetermined position is determined. Next, the lower edge of the shade fabric is moved to a second position at a second linear distance from the predetermined position and a second number of revolutions between the second position and the predetermined position is determined. Finally, the tube radius and the fabric thickness are calculated from the first and second linear distances and the first and second numbers of revolutions. The tube radius and the fabric thickness are used to control the linear speed of the lower edge of the shade fabric.

In an LCD apparatus having a backlight assembly, a light guide plate includes an incident surface for receiving light, a reflecting surface for reflecting the light and an emitting surface for emitting the light. A linear distance between the reflecting and emitting surfaces is smaller than a height of the incident surface. An optical sheet is positioned at the emitting surface having a height lower than the height of the incident surface. Accordingly, although the height of the incident surface increases, the linear distance between the reflecting and emitting surfaces does not increase. Therefore, the light guide plate can obtain an area of the incident surface appropriate to efficiently receive the light, thereby improving a light efficiency of the backlight assembly and preventing an increase in a thickness of the backlight assembly.
