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 document management system enables multiple users to collaboratively contribute to the contents of a document via any suitable medium for transporting and storing documents, including email, shared drives, replicated work spaces and centralized storage systems. A tracking strategy is employed, in lieu of a central repository, that is based upon medium-independent versioning. Each version of a document that is created and saved by a user is given a unique identifier. The versions are submitted to a global service for ratification as the next authoritative version of a document. A submitted version that forms the next step in a linear sequence is ratified as the authoritative version of the document, whereas the version which does not meet this criterion becomes identified as a new document. Support is provided for users who create versions off-line, as well as users who are not subscribers to the system.

Improved processors and processing methods are disclosed for high-speed computerized comparison analysis of multiple linear symbol or character sequences, such as biological nucleic acid sequences, protein sequences, or other long linear arrays of characters. These improved processors and processing methods, which are suitable for use with recursive analytical techniques such as the Smith-Waterman algorithm, and the like, are optimized for minimum gate count and maximum clock cycle computing efficiency. This is done by interleaving multiple linear sequence comparison operations per processor, which optimizes use of the processor's resources. In use, a plurality of such processors are embedded in high-density integrated circuit chips, and run synchronously to efficiently analyze long sequences. Such processor designs and methods exceed the performance of currently available designs, and facilitate lossless higher dimensional sequence comparison analysis between three or more linear sequences.

A method and system for economically packaging microarrays into sealed reaction chambers and storage vessels. A pocket strip is manufactured as a linear sequence of pockets, or wells, into which microarrays are positioned. A cover strip is then heat sealed to the upper surface of the pocket strip to create a linear sequence of sealed reaction chambers or storage vessels, each containing a microarray. Mechanical features or optical features are included along the length of the pocket strip to facilitate mechanical translation and positioning of microarrays embedded within the microarray strip. Septa are affixed to, or embedded within, the cover strip to provide resealable ports through which solutions can be introduced into, or extracted from, the reaction chambers. In an alternate embodiment, the microarrays are deposited directly onto the cover strip, eliminating the need for separate microarray substrates.

The invention discloses a distributed database multi-column composite query system and method. The distributed database multi-column composite query system is composed of a storage subsystem, an index subsystem, a linear sequence generator, a database entry module and a query module. When data enter a database and indexes are built, a monotone increasing sequential value is generated for each data record, and values of index fields and the monotone increasing sequential values are combined and used as row keys of an index table. When indexes are scanned, returned results are sequenced according to the sequence of the row keys, execution efficiency is high, and occupied system resources are few. Query of index key values, merging of index results and search of the storage subsystem can be concurrently executed, and therefore the query response speed is greatly increased.

The present invention relates to identifying protein epitopes and more particularly to a novel method for identifying, determining the location, optimal length of amino acid residues and immunobiological potency of protein epitopes by fitting a hydrophilicity and/or hydrophobicity plot generated for the amino acid linear sequence of a polypeptide to a mathematically generated continuous curve thereby generating at least one set of potential epitopes which include ranked potential epitopes having a specific number of amino acid residues. The immunobiologically-active linear peptides are deemed the potential epitopes that exhibit the most alternating positioning about an equilibrium position when juxtaposed on the hydrophilicity and/or hydrophobicity plot and their optimal length corresponds to the specific number of amino acid residues in the set of ranked potential epitopes. The amino acid sequence of the protein epitopes of the present invention exhibit a hydrophobic-hydrophilic-hydrophobic motif

A range of architectures are disclosed for a practical multi-beam DVD system (or a CD system) recorded in a linear sequence on an optical disc. The data incorporates inner and outer error protection codes (PI, PO), the outer code being applied on the basis of a predetermined size of data block (ECC frame). Each block comprises a series of several sectors. Multi-channel read-out provides in parallel a set of N sub-sequences, starting without restriction to said block or sub-block boundaries. Sector ID codes are detected within each channel (a, b, c, d) to identify a series of sub-blocks forming a part of a data block and, even in the absence of data from the start of the block (blocks marked *), outer error protection circuitry 216 processes the sub-blocks to accumulate a partial error protection syndrome relating to said block. Upon reaching the end of said block, a syndrome for a next block within the subsequence is accumulated. Subsequently sub-blocks forming a starting part of the same block whose end part has been processed are recognized in a different channel, and processed (216) to accumulate the remainder of said syndrome. The reading beams (a, b, c, d) jump to a new set of locations (a', b', etc) to cover a further portion of the disc.

A power of a square matrix is determined in a time approximately proportional to the upper integer of the base-2 logarithm of the order of the matrix. A preferred embodiment uses two types of look-up tables and two multipliers for a matrix of 15×15, and is applied to a pseudorandom noise (PN) sequence phase correlation or state jumping circuit. An exact state of a PN code can be determined or calculated from applying an appropriate offset value into a control circuit. The control circuit can produce a PN sequence state from the offset value and typically does so within one system clock period regardless of the amount of the offset. Once the exact state is determined, it is loaded into a state generator or linear sequence shift register (LSSR) for generating a subsequent stream of bits or symbols of the PN code. The PN generator system may include state computing logic, a maximum length PN generator, a zero insertion circuit and a zero insertion skipping circuit.

A method to select a response in a multi-turn conversation between a user and a conversational bot. The conversation is composed of a set of events, wherein an event is a linear sequence of observations that are user speech or physical actions. Queries are processed against a set of conversations that are organized as a set of inter-related data tables, with events and observations stored in distinct tables. As the multi-turn conversation proceeds, a data model comprising an observation history, together with a hierarchy of events determined to represent the conversation up to at least one turn, is persisted. When a new input (speech or physical action) is received, it is classified using a statistical model to generate a result. The result is then mapped to an observation in the data model. Using the mapped observation, a look-up is performed into the data tables to retrieve a possible response.
