An apparatus and method for providing an elevator door performance result of an elevator door in an elevator door system which normally operates sequentially from state-to-state in a closed loop sequential chain of normal operating states is disclosed. A plurality of parameter signals provided by the elevator door system is monitored by the apparatus. The apparatus comprises: a door state seque...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of an Acute Stroke Triage Pathway in reducing door to needle times in acute stroke treatment with IV t-PA. BACKGROUND A previous study at our tertiary referral centre, examining IV t-PA door to needle times, was completed in 2000. The median door to needle time was beyond the recommended National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) ...

he use of fictional characters and festivals to sell unhealthy commodities is well established. Both Santa Claus and the Easter bunny have been employed to influence people, especially children, towards unhealthy behaviour. 1,2 Each year, on 31 October, an increasing number of witches and wizards darken the doors of Australian households, demanding free junk food. The rising popularity of Hallo...

We present an example-based approach to rendering hand-colored animations which delivers visual richness comparable to real artwork while enabling control over the amount of perceived temporal noise. This is important both for artistic purposes and viewing comfort, but is tedious or even intractable to achieve manually. We analyse typical features of real hand-colored animations and propose an ...

We relate behavior composition, a synthesis task studied in AI, to supervisory control theory from the discrete event systems field. In particular, we show that realizing (i.e., implementing) a target behavior module (e.g., a house surveillance system) by suitably coordinating a collection of available behaviors (e.g., automatic blinds, doors, lights, cameras, etc.) amounts to imposing a superv...

Editor—A more plausible interpretation of the data presented by Rouse is that his researcher did not allow the telephone to ring for sufficient time to allow a member of the practice staff to answer it. The table shows that the researcher made around 270 telephone calls to the 91 practices in the three days before Christmas. This equates to an average of one call every 4 minutes. In reality, th...

Shortening symptom-to-reperfusion time improves prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Accordingly, current guidelines target a door-to-balloon time <90 minutes, irrespective of symptom-to-door time; nevertheless, the relation between door-to-balloon and symptom-to-door time and its potential impact on myocardial salvage remains largely unknown. We investigated t...
