The present invention relates to a testing system for assessing hypoxia induced cellular damage in a mammal including human, comprising a disposable device having a sample inlet and a collection chamber separated by a separation device wherein the collection chamber is connected to at least two, a first and a second, visible detection compartments, whereof at least one is arranged with chemical means for direct visual detection, said first detection compartment being arranged to determine whether level of hemoglobin (Hb) in a sample of body fluid taken from said mammal exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and said second detection compartment being arranged to evaluate level of total amount of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in said sample.

Testing system for determining hypoxia induced cellular damage

In one embodiment, a system (100) is provided including: a first intelligent electronic device (IED) (110A); and a second IED (110B) in communication with the first IED (110A), wherein each IED (110A, 110B) comprises: a transmitter (40) for transmitting a Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) message to another IED at a first timestamp; a receiver (50) for receiving the GOOSE message from the another IED at a second timestamp; a calculator (60) for calculating a roundtrip time based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp; and a determinator (70) for determining if the roundtrip time is within a specified roundtrip time.

System for testing roundtrip time between intelligent electronic devices

The invention discloses a method for detecting the effectiveness of reliable connection based on a client. Generally, the conventional method comprises that: a, a center transmits a detection message to a connected client, and starts a timer; and b, if an opposite party returns a confirmation message before the overtime of the timer, the connection is determined to be effective, otherwise the connection is determined to be ineffective. In the conventional method, the center substantially finishes all operations, and if the center is abnormal, a system may be crashed and the client may never learn the failure of the connection. In the method provided by the invention, the operation of transmitting the detection message is performed by the client instead so as to share the burden of the center and solve the problem that the client may never learn the failure of the connection after the center is abnormal and the system is crashed. The method provided by the invention generally comprises the following steps that: a, the client acquires an interval value from the center; b, the center progressively reduces the time of the timer of the connection; c, the client transmits the detection message after the overtime of the interval timer; d, the center detects the state of the timer at any time; and e, the center returns the detection confirmation message.

Method for detecting effectiveness of reliable connection based on client

The invention relates to a communications device with a transmitter ( 101 ) for transmitting a predetermined message via a communications network, a receiver ( 103 ) for receiving a reply to the predetermined message via the communications network, and a processor ( 105 ) designed to detect a time interval between the transmission of the predetermined message and the reception of the reply and to assign this time interval to a predetermined measurement interval.

Self-testing communications device

The device (201) has a transmitter for transmitting a predetermined message via a communication network, and a communication receiver (203) for receiving reply to the predetermined message via the communication network. A processor detects time interval between transmission of the predetermined message and the reception of the reply for assigning the time interval to predetermined measurement interval. A memory stores a number of time intervals assigned to the measurement interval. The processor determines an average transmission rate or an average system parameter. An independent claim is also included for a communication method.
