Abstract: In described embodiments, a data collection device receives signals from one or more patient monitoring devices, the signals representing patient data and other vital signs measured at a patient. The data collection device employs statistical quality algorithms to track irregular behavior and out-of-bound events, the behavior and events either being pre-set, adaptively set, or otherwise defined within pre-determined limits. The data collection device communicates alerting signals to a caregiver's handheld device when the irregular behavior and out-of-bound events occur. The alerting signals contain information related to the patient data, irregular behavior and out-of-bound events, thereby allowing a caregiver to take appropriate action.

Abstract: A method of depositing tungsten on a semiconductor substrate is disclosed. The semiconductor substrate is heated to between about 360° C. and about 390° C. and preferably about 375° C. Initiation gases are introduced into a first deposition station of a chemical vapor deposition chamber to form an amorphous, monolayer of silicon. Initiation gas comprises a silane gas flow at a rate of about 40 to about 48 standard cubic centimeters per minute. A nucleation gas flow rate formed of silane of about 20 to about 30 standard cubic centimeters per minute and a tungsten hexafluoride gas flow at a rate of about 300 to about 350 standard cubic standard centimeters per minute is next introduced. A hydrogen reducing gas flow rate is then introduced to form a layer of hydrogen reduced bulk tungsten. This reduced gas flow comprises a hydrogen gas flow at a rate of about 7,000 to about 8,500 standard cubic centimeters per minute gas flow, and a tungsten hexafluoride gas flow at a rate of about 300 to about 350 standard cubic centimeters per minute. A bulk hydrogen reduced tungsten is deposited at successive deposition stations.

Abstract: In described embodiments, elements of a wireless home network employ learned power security for the network. An access point, router, or other wireless base station emits and receives signals having corresponding signal strengths. Wireless devices coupled to the base station through a radio link are moved through the home network at boundary points of the home and the signal strength is measured at each device and communicated to the base station. Based on the signal strength information from the emitted signals measured at the boundary points and/or from measured signal strength information of signals received from the boundary points, the base station determines a network secure area. The base station declines permission of devices attempting to use or join the home network that exhibit signal strength characteristics less than boundary values for the network secure area.

Abstract: In described embodiments, a point of sale system, such as a cash register, provides for translation from standard language to desired native language on a receipt. Translation might be initiated through user (e.g., purchaser) input, manually or from a credit card, for example, and translation is accomplished through a database accessed by the point of sale system. Consequently, the point of sale system provides at least one receipt to the purchaser that identifies purchases as line item descriptions, and, in some cases, the price paid for each line item, in the purchaser's native language that might be used, for example, to accurately prepare vouchers.
