Systems and methods are provided for processing and analyzing signals reflecting, physiologic processes and events in a monitored subject, especially cardio-pulmonary signals. The input signals are analyzed by in a physiological domain by creating structured data representing the physiological events reflected in the signals. Preferably, first, primitive event objects are created representing physiologically-significant portions of these input signals; second, the primitive event objects are grouped into primary event objects representing actual physiologic processes and events. Next, all objects are stored in databases, and organized in containers for efficient searching. Information may be retrieved by creating view objects which associate physiologic event objects having selected properties specified directly in physiological terms. This invention includes methods for performing the above analysis, systems and program products for carrying out these methods, and databases configured with the stored objects and views.

A method and system for recording hardware and software events of a computer system. An event logger, typically part of system management software, records both primary event records and secondary event records. Secondary event records are used when the data space in a primary event record is insufficient to adequately describe the primary event. The data fields of a secondary event record designate the record as a secondary event and contain the additional data about the event.

A circuit and related method for distributing events in an event stream (i.e., an electronic signal having a plurality of rising edge transitions and falling edge transitions). The circuit distributes the events in a primary event stream across multiple secondary event streams in such a way that the event rate in each of the secondary event streams is lower than the event rate in the primary event stream, but the relative timing of the events in the primary event stream is maintained in each of the secondary event streams. The secondary event streams can then be provided to respective timestamp circuits, which record the times at which events occur in the secondary event streams. Since the relative timing of the events in the primary event stream is maintained in each of the secondary event streams, the multiple timestamp circuits collectively record the times at which events occur in the primary event stream. The circuit and related method can be used when debugging / testing semiconductor devices.

An event spectator connection tool is a multiprocessor distributed computing system. A memory stores computer instructions that direct processors to maintain a social network database storing records associated with spectators and event hosts. For each spectator, a data structure represents a primary geographic region and a list of interests of the spectator. For each event host, a data structure represents a list of geographic regions and a list of services offered at each venue operated by the event host. The processors identify a primary event of interest, identify a first geographic region, predict an expected attendance to view the primary event of interest at a certain venue located in the first geographic region, and communicate information identifying a gathering to view the primary event of interest at the certain venue to spectators whose profile indicates that the first geographic region is conterminous with the spectator's primary geographic region and that the primary event of interest is represented in the respective spectator's list of interests.

A plurality of pattern components is presented to a user. Each of the pattern components describe events and / or sub-events that, when combined, create emergent information that indicates the occurrence of a primary event. The user builds and then transmits a customized graphical event pattern, composed of one or more pattern components, rules and other emergent information artifacts to a server, which generates an underlying database file that describes the customized graphical event pattern and / or data pattern. The data pattern is then transmitted to an intelligent sensor, server, or other detection device. If a set of event data inputs, from an interlinked array of intelligent sensors or other detection devices, meet a predetermined threshold requirement of one or more of the pattern components, the data patterns then intercommunicate and vote as to the degree to which they have collectively each detected a primary event, using the sub-events as criteria.

A method and apparatus for a mechanism of disaster recovery and instance refresh in an event recordation system are described. A first request for events associated with a first topic is received. A first set of events associated with the first topic are retrieved from a primary event recordation system. Each event from the first set of events includes a first commit identifier indicating the order with which each event is stored in the primary event recordation system. For each event from the first set of events a first replay identifier is determined based on the first commit identifier and a first value of a low commit identifier. The first replay identifier is exposed to event consumers for identifying the event. In response to the first request each event from the first set of events is transmitted with the replay identifier.

The invention provides a voltage compensation method and circuit that eliminate the influence of DVR on adjacent load. The method comprises the following steps: when a system voltage suffers a temporary drop, the current amplitudes of a sensitive load and the adjacent non-sensitive load are reduced as X1, the phase angle change value is represented as beta and through phase shifting, beta is equal to beta[set], and the finish point that meets I2'' happens to drop on the current circle of the primary event. The phase angle of U1 subtracted by beta[set] is combined with the amplitude value of U1 to form the target voltage vector U1''. Through the subtraction of the target voltage vector U1'' from the standard voltage vector, deltaU1 is obtained. Through a hysteresis comparator, a PWM driving signal is obtained. The PWM driving signal drives an inversion unit. The signal outputted from the inversion unit generates ideal compensation voltage through the filtering unit. According to the voltage compensation method and the circuit, it is possible to eliminate the influence of DVR on the adjacent load effectively.
