Abstract:
A detection device capable of being coupled to a person for remotely monitoring heart and respiratory functions includes a processor, a photo cell coupled to the processor for determining blood oxygen content of the person and a temperature sensor coupled to the processor for determining a temperature of the person. The processor compares the determined blood oxygen content and the temperature to desired values. A transmitter is included for transmitting a warning signal if one of the determined blood oxygen content and the temperature are other than the desired values. The device is battery powered and transmits signals at radio frequencies. The warning may be visual or audible.
Abstract:
A technique is provided for managing ( 1210 ) externalizable inference components. The technique allows for dynamic construction of inferences from separate components, and externalization of data for controlling dynamic constructable inferences. One key benefit realized is the capability to mix and match various externalized inference components to form new inferences; or stated in a different way, the ability to deduce new knowledge by combining (reusing) and exercising various components in new ways. Provisions are made for pluggable inference components that can be combined in many distinct ways to fit the needs of different applications. This allows inference components to be developed independently and to be highly portable.
