A system and method for providing amplitude spectroscopy is provided. Generally, the system contains a generator for providing a waveform for analysis of a multilevel quantum system, wherein the generator has the capability of changing amplitude of the waveform provided and driving the multilevel quantum system at a fixed frequency while sweeping amplitude. A detector is also provided for reading population in different energy states of the multilevel quantum system, wherein the detector plots an amplitude spectroscopy response of the multilevel quantum system. A memory and processor are provided within the system where the processor is configured by the memory to perform the step of plotting an energy-level diagram of the multilevel quantum system from the amplitude spectroscopy plot of the multilevel quantum system.

A device and method for storing data is disclosed. A user record is divided up into a plurality of input packets (block ). The plurality of input packets is encoded into a plurality of output packets (block ). The output packets are distributed to one or more storage devices (block ). The user record is reconstructed by retrieving the plurality of output packets from the storage devices (block ) and deconstructing output packets into one or more input packets (block ). The input packets are evaluated to determine which additional output packets are required to complete the user record (block ). The process of retrieving the output packets and deconstructing the output packets into one or more input packets is repeated until the user record is complete (block ).

A method and apparatus monitor myocardial ischemic events in various medical applications for providing continuous and contemporaneous information regarding, for example, modifying the amount of medication for a patient, determining response during (PTCA) balloon angioplasty, monitoring the onset of myocardial ischemic events during induction of anesthesia, determining painless myocardial ischemia in a resting patient, and monitoring the onset of myocardial ischemic during stress conditions in a patient. The method and apparatus also provide a calibration method for determining from a Resistive Index and using the resulting transformation for calculating, on a continuing basis, both systemic vascular resistance and cardiac output.

An interactive injection system for use with a catheter of the type adapted for insertion into a patient's vascular system for thermodilution measurements and the like includes a chamber for storing liquid injectate, means for connecting the chamber to the catheter lumen, and a drive for operating on the chamber to flow liquid injectate from the chamber into the lumen for discharge as a bolus from the lumen into the vascular system of a patient. In preferred embodiments, a temperature sensing probe is connected between the injection chamber and the catheter for monitoring the temperature of injectate as it is introduced into the catheter. Cooperating controller apparatus includes means for operating the drive, operator controlled inputs for selecting injectate rate and volume parameters, another operator controlled input for enabling the injector drive, an input from a sensor adapted to be located in the patient's vascular system downstream from the proximal port and operative during an injection cycle in response to a sensed deviation of output (e. g. , out of specification for terminating the injection sequence, and a processor for utilizing (e. g. , integrating) the sensor output to generate a cardiac output value or similar data.
