Validation of the Calypso Surface Beacon Transponder

Calypso L-shaped Surface Beacon transponder has recently become available for clinical applications. We herein conduct studies to validate the Surface Beacon transponder in terms of stability, reproducibility, orientation sensitivity, cycle rate dependence, and respiratory waveform tracking accuracy. The Surface Beacon was placed on a Quasar respiratory phantom and positioned at the isocenter w...

Calypso Service Architecture for Broadband Networks

The Calypso project aims at developing an extremely exible control and service architecture for ATM-based broadband networks. This architecture provides various alternatives to distribute the network and service control functions among clients, servers and diierent network nodes. This means that a control or service function can reside not only in a network node, but in the customer's workstati...
