Abstract: A system for identifying a fault in a light source is presented. The system includes at least one luminaire that includes the light source configured to emit light. Also, the at least one luminaire includes a monitoring device disposed proximate to the light source. The monitoring device includes a sensing unit configured to measure an amount of light emitted by the light source, and a squawk unit configured to generate a squawk signal based on the amount of light emitted from the light source, where the squawk signal is indicative of the fault in the light source. Further, the system includes a diagnostic unit communicatively coupled to the at least one luminaire and configured to determine the fault in the light source based on the squawk signal, and transmit a termination signal to the squawk unit to decouple an electrical power supply from the light source.

Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating ultrasound data are provided. One method includes monitoring over time estimates of bandwidth of a channel communicatively coupling an imaging location with another location remote from the imaging location and communicating the estimates to a system at the imaging location. The method also includes identifying at least one of a region-of-interest (ROI) mask or one or more transmission parameters for the channel and adjusting at least one of the ROI mask or the one or more transmission parameters based on the monitored estimates of the bandwidth for communicating the medical images.
