The present invention leverages a data gathering service to provide information regarding a network system's health, performance and/or utilization via a computing entity, local and/or remote. This provides an optimized means to aggregate a single network's data and/or multiple networks' data, decreasing the amount of effort required by system administrators to keep a network operational and/or to provide control of its utilization and/or update a system's state. In one instance of the present invention, a data gathering service aggregates data from systems and provides access to this information via a communication means. In another instance of the present invention, aggregated data is utilized to provide manual and/or automatic control of one or more aspects of a system's utilization and/or state by an entity and/or a person.

In another instance of the present invention, aggregated data is utilized to provide manual and/or automatic control of one or more aspects of a system's utilization by an entity and/or a person. In yet another instance of the present invention, aggregated utilization data is employed to provide a management/productivity tool for end-users of a networked system.

Systems and methods for unifying and/or utilizing state information for managing networked systems

The present invention leverages a data gathering service to provide information regarding a system's health state via a computing entity, local and/or remote. This provides an optimized means to aggregate a single network's data and/or multiple networks' data, decreasing the amount of effort required by system administrators to manage health related alerts. In one instance of the present invention, a data gathering service aggregates health data from systems and provides access to this information via a communication means. In another instance of the present invention, aggregated, averaged data is utilized to provide manual and/or automatic control and/or management facilitation of health monitoring related tasks.

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided with a scanning guide which assists a user in conducting three dimensional ultrasonic scanning of a patient. The guide is visual or audible or both, and gives the physician a real time indicator by which to gauge the rate and duration of three dimensional ultrasonic scanning. In a constructed embodiment the scanning guide is modulated by a counter coupled to cine memory, in which image frames are stored for three dimensional processing. As the cine memory fills toward capacity with ultrasonic image frames, the scanning guide is modulated in correspondence with the filling of the memory. A visual indicator of the ultrasonic frame sequence in memory is also provided, on which the user can move markers to eliminate frames at the beginning or end of the sequence from the three dimensional reconstruction.
