The level of consciousness of a patient (i.e. the hypnotic state and/or the level of anaesthesia) is represented aurally. A measure of the patient's level of consciousness, such as the BIS index value, is obtained, and an audio signal is synthesized from that measure, and then output through a speaker. Both the volume and pitch of the audio signal may vary according to the BIS value being represented, so that a clinician can obtain an indication of the level of consciousness of the patient simply by listening to the sonification of the BIS value. The audio signal may comprise first and second audio components, with the first component representing the previous measure and the second component representing the current measure. The amplitude or pitch of the audio signal may be modulated to represent analgesia or paralysis of the patient.

The invention discloses a method for preventing website access congestion. The method comprises the following steps that: (1) a website system sets a service area, access requests entering the service area obtains a Web access service, and the access requests not entering the service area form a waiting queue according to a requesting time sequence; and (2) the system checks the current capacity of the service area, and if the current capacity is less than a service area threshold value, allows the access requests in the waiting queue to sequentially enter the service area until the capacity of the service area reaches the service area threshold value. By the method, the number of the access requests concurrently occupying website service resources is strictly limited by the set service area threshold value, and the access request is called in from the waiting queue to obtain the access service immediately when the service area has any vacancy, thereby establishing an access order for the access requests in the number exceeding the service area threshold value to further avoid the serious consequences of website congestion even paralysis caused by the sudden large-scale access requests.
