Let us consider the death of a person, determined by the effect of marginotomy, as a timely catastrophe; and the sudden death or disability as premature.  It is obvious that, using such criteria, the diagnostic value of telemedicine becomes non-zero only in case of the prevention of a premature catastrophe.

        For the lidar signal detection in a radar warning receiver (RWR) very simple design solutions like a single-limit comparator after the input amplifier are often used. Further processing is conducted with the help of the built-in processor, which uses only the values of time intervals between pulses for the analysis. It is clear that such an approach to the detection problem solving has multiple disadvantages. For example, the comparator output signal has passed a non-linear and irreversible transformation and the pulse amplitude information is lost irreversibly.

In spite of the fact that some people, having read glossy ads of various firms, think that there are no problems in ECG recording, severe practice of post-soviet (and other as well) medical institutions reveal, sometimes-somewhere, the trends. Especially during Holter examinations. And they considerably hamper the medical analysis. What concerns radio monitoring systems and bedside monitors, the trend for them is especially unpleasant, as the analysis is real-time by definition. All the more the operator reacts to what he sees on the screen here and now. And when the curves are spread all over the screen or, even worse, have reached its boundaries, the situation becomes disgusting indeed.

Slightly paraphrasing Brodsky, we can say that we live in a time of complete and final victory of ideas of Montesquieu that have disfigured the world, multiplied by the inveterate liberalism, when the separation of powers, universal, equal and secret suffrage and other unimaginable for adequate management postulates have become a quite dangerous commonplace. All the more dangerous because for ignoring these postulates one can "get his ass kicked in full" from the Boss, and the literal fulfillment of the democratic demands will inevitably lead to the degradation of any state.
