Abstract:

A network architecture for implementation in a vehicle is described that comprises an Ethernet gateway module (EGM) and network interface module (NIM). The EGM comprises an Ethernet switch and router therein and is configured to provide an open data network (ODN) connection to the network architecture for a plurality of open data network devices. The NIM is configured to provide an isolated data network and comprises an Ethernet switch to connect a plurality of secure devices to an isolated data network (IDN), the secure devices related to operation and navigation of the vehicle, a router and a gateway/router. The router is configured to interface the IDN to the open data network connections and comprises a packet filtering function to determine which, if any, data from the ODN may be passed through to the IDN and applied to operation and navigation of the vehicle via the secures devices connected to the IDN. The gateway/router provides network address and protocol translation to connect the IDN to a secure common data network associated with vehicle operation. The architecture provides segregation between network devices in the IDN and CDN related to operation and navigation of the vehicle, and network devices in the ODN.

International Classification:

H04N 146

US Classification:

395109

Abstract:

A system fop matching a first picture on a monitor to a second picture printed on a printing medium. The system includes a) a monitor for receiving a first image and for displaying the first image as the first picture, b) printing apparatus for receiving a second image and for producing the second picture and c) conversion apparatus for converting first colors of the first image, defined in a first color coordinate system of the monitor, to second colors of the second image, defined in a second color coordinate system of the printing apparatus and the printing medium, through third colors defined in a colorimetric color coordinate system, to convert from the first image to the second image.

International Classification:

A61M 39/22
A61M 39/10

Abstract:

A medical device that includes a first body including a first actuation member including a first connector and a second actuation member. The medical device includes a second body for attachment to, and detachment from, the first body. The second body including an actuation wire, a second connector at a proximal end of the actuation wire, and a valve having one or more channels for receiving a material. Attachment of the first body with the second body results in the first connector engaging the second connector, such that movement of the first actuation member causes a corresponding movement of the actuation wire. Moving the second actuation member into the second body to interact with the valve is configured to selectively direct the material through the one or more channels.
