20080198872, Aug 21, 2008

Filed:

May 10, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/914274

Inventors:

Michael Pierce - Carnation WA, US

Assignee:

KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V. - EINDHOVEN

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 12/50
A61B 8/00

US Classification:

370465, 370466, 709230, 600437, 370401

Abstract:

An ultrasound system which is capable of sending images and/or reports over a data network by means of an Internet protocol has a sound card coupled to a microphone and a loudspeaker. When operator of the ultrasound system speaks into the microphone the voice is digitized by the sound card and the voice data is packaged as payloads of data packets. The packets are sent over the same data network by a protocol stack using an Internet protocol. The packets are received and returned to analog voice signals at a receiving terminal. The voice capability can reach other terminals on the network or external correspondents by means of the Internet or external networks such as public switched telephone networks.

Inventors:

Michael Pierce - Carnation WA, US

Assignee:

KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V. - EINDHOVEN

International Classification:

A61B 8/00
H04L 12/26

US Classification:

600437, 370245

Abstract:

An ultrasound diagnostic imaging system () is provided with its own onboard network analyzer (). When a problem with a network to which the ultrasound system is connected is discovered, the network analyzer is started on the ultrasound system. A test is run by transmitting DICOM data from the ultrasound system to another device on the network. The network analyzer is operable in a listening mode to produce a capture file of the raw packet data concerning the DICOM transmission and to present the capture file to a user for analysis such as by parsing out the DICOM communication data on the network.

Appl. No.:

11/575372

Inventors:

Michael Pierce - Carnation WA, US

Assignee:

KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V. - EINDHOVEN

International Classification:

A61B 8/00

US Classification:

600437

Abstract:

Ultrasound imaging arrangement including an ultrasound scanner, an ultrasound imaging system arranged to control the scanner and at least one display physically separated from the imaging system. A system is provided to enable the transmission of images from the imaging system to each display using IEEE standard 802.15.3. For example, the imaging system and each display may include a network interface card/video card capable of utilizing IEEE standard 802.15.3. The absence of a physical connection between the display(s) and the imaging system allows the display(s) to be freely positionable as desired by the person conducting the examination without limitations imposed by the placement of the imaging system. Multiple displays can be provided, all receiving and displaying the same images.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 21/62
H04L 12/58

Abstract:

A computing system includes a processor and a data store coupled to the processor. The computing system is configured to provide access to electronic content stored in the data store. A user interface component is configured to receive an indication of an external user with which to share an item of electronic content. A link generation component is configured to generate a link to share the item of electronic content. An access control component is configured to receive a request to access the item of electronic content using the link, and responsively generate an access code that is communicated to a known endpoint associated with the link. The user interface component is configured to receive a user input containing a user-entered access input. The access control component is configured to selectively grant access to the item of electronic content based on whether the user-entered access input matched the access code communicated to the known endpoint associated with the link.

International Classification:

G06N 5/04

Abstract:

Described are methods, systems, and computer program products for correlating operational information with subsequent action information. Operational information is received from a computing system performing one or more services. Pattern matching is performed for the operational information with data within a knowledge base. Based on the results of the pattern matching, a subsequent action associated with the operational information is determined.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705317

Abstract:

Entitlement cards having an offer term and number of user licenses for a subscription to an online service can be applied to existing subscriber accounts to add or otherwise adjust the number of user licenses associated with the subscription. When an entitlement card is added to an account, the system automatically adjusts the amount of time for each user license so that an entire value of an entitlement subscription is used and a same expiry date is maintained even when adding new user licenses to an existing account. A user interface is provided that enables a customer to change the number of user licenses for a subscription when redeeming an entitlement card to their account and view a new end date for the subscription as a whole resulting from a change in user licenses during a current subscription.
