Method and apparatus for detecting possible interference in a neurological signal received from a monitoring element of a medical device system. The monitoring element monitors a condition or a symptom of a nervous system disorder being treated and provides a neurological signal to the medical device system for purposes of providing closed-loop feedback control. The system analyzes various parameters of the received signal by taking instantaneous measurements of data points in moving window and thereby determining whether the signal is of poor quality. If the signal is of determined poor quality, it is removed from consideration in the closed-loop feedback control system until it is determined that the signal quality has sufficiently been restored.

A method allows a window to be enlarged, reduced in size, or moved easily by designating an operated object without performing an operation of accurately positioning a point position at a frame line or vertex as the operated object. The method comprises a step of sequentially acquiring the position of a pointer of said pointer device as said pointer is moved after the movement trajectory of said pointer intersects itself following the start of a pointer moving operation, until said pointer moving operation is completed, and storing the thus acquired positions in a table; a step in which it is determined if a part of the movement trajectory of said pointer that is obtained by connecting the information about the movement positions of said pointer stored in said table intersects any of the frame lines of the window as a controlled object, and if it does, the following factors: a. the number of intersected frame lines of the window; and b. the number of end-point coordinates of the intersected frame lines, in order to determine the movement trajectory of said pointer corresponds to which of the instructions of the enlargement / reduction and movement of the window frame, and the window frame or a vertex is determined as the object of operation; and a step of enlarging, reducing, or moving the window frame or vertex as the object of operation in accordance with the thus recognized instruction, in a positional direction in which the movement operation of said pointer has ended after the movement trajectory of said pointer intersected itself, until the completion of the movement operation, by moving the window frame or vertex in accordance with the amount of movement of said pointer.

A plurality of computer nodes communicates using seemingly random IP source and destination addresses and (optionally) a seemingly random discriminator field. Data packets matching criteria defined by a moving window of valid addresses are accepted for further processing, while those that do not meet the criteria are rejected. In addition to “hopping” of IP addresses and discriminator fields, hardware addresses such as Media Access Control addresses can be hopped. The hopped addresses are generated by random number generators having non-repeating sequence lengths that are easily determined a-priori, which can quickly jump ahead in sequence by an arbitrary number of random steps and which have the property that future random numbers are difficult to guess without knowing the random number generator's parameters. Synchronization techniques can be used to re-establish synchronization between sending and receiving nodes.

A window restrictor that may be used to limit the opening of a window. The restrictor comprises a restrictor member and a latch mechanism. Typically, the restrictor member is attached to a stile or rail of the moving window pane and the latch mechanism is attached to a part of the casing or frame surrounding the window opening. In use, the restrictor member is engaged with the latch mechanism so that as the window is opened, the extent of opening is restricted by the restrictor member length. To fully open the window, the restrictor member is disengaged from the latch mechanism. When the restrictor member and latch mechanism are disengaged, they remain in such a configuration that, when the window is closed, the restrictor member and latch mechanism automatically re-engage to prevent the window being fully opened again. The restrictor member can comprise a hinged member which includes bias means.

Displaying on a display screen at least a portion of each of a set of windows initially completely hidden within said stack. Defining each hidden window in the stack of windows and mapping for each hidden window the collective perimeter of all of the windows in the stack above the hidden window. A user is enabled to input a display hidden windows command and, responsive to the “display hidden windows” command, each hidden window in an orthogonal direction until a least a portion of the moved hidden window extends beyond the collective perimeter of the windows above said moved window. For ease of use, the display hidden windows command may be an item, e.g. icon on the display screen. If the hidden window has a border region, as described above, identifying the window, then the means for moving the window preferably moves the window in an orthogonal direction whereby this identifying border extends beyond said collective perimeter on said display screen.
