My PM's name is Pete. I understand that Pete is set to make my heart pump at least 60 BPM and that works fine. But----how does Pete know to make my heart pump faster when I do some excerise? Pete is simply a small transmitter/computer.
What tells him that I am jogging?
Thanks,

Name of PM
by IAN MC - 2012-11-21 04:11:40
Tattoo Man .... your idol worship of Frank is becoming slightly disconcerting but having said that I am wondering what to call my PM . Mine doesn't seem like a "Pete "somehow !
I'm down to two possible names ... my shortlist is Frank or Don ( known as "donr " to his intimate friends ) I want my PM to be named after people who are in control of their lives and are knowledgeable. Both qualify !
I will study their next 10 posts with great interest before selecting a name but , who knows, you may come up with some really scintillating posts and I could end up calling my PM ..... Tattoo Man !!!
Keep on eating those mince pies; they go very well with Costco sausages apparently !
Cheers
Ian

Ideas here..any concept will be a catalyst for a great ..record breaking Post on PMC.

Pete the PM
by donr - 2012-11-21 07:11:31
Clarencio - Pete is one smart little cookie!
He has built into him a program that does two things - it monitors every beat of your heart It knows exactly what your heart's electrical system is doing, every milli-second of your life. And - it reacts to that monitoring based on another program stored in his memory.
You asked how he knows you are jogging? Remember Santa? He knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sakes!
Well, not to dissolution you, but there is no Santa. Also, there is no such thing as a "Heart Rate." Sorry, guy, I know you have a few years on me & I hate to be the one to tell you, but that is true. Every beat of your heart is an individually timed & executed act by the electrical system consisting of it's two nodes & tissue bundles connecting them. But the timing by those nodes is so accurate; so precise; so reliable that when a whole bunch of them are strung out together, it seems to you like it has an overall "Rate." Not so. Take when you are jogging. The Sinus node of your heart gets a signal from the brain that the body needs more Oxygen and to beat faster - so the Sinus node, the master pacer for your heart cuts down the time for each action it decrees that the heart will perform. You sense that as your "Heart Rate " going up.
So how does the PM know what is going on? It senses all the electrical activity - it's a real time miniature ECG! It functions based on the occurrence of certain little blips it senses in the electrical activity. You've seen those blips on a print out of an ECG. Pete's program takes data from its sensing capability - like sensing the occurrence of a P wave that tells the heart's Atria to contract. Pete starts a countdown timer & if he has not sensed that there is a QRS wave that tells him the ventricles are contracting before the count reaches zero, he sends a signal for them to do their contraction bit.
Now the program is set up so that it will not permit your heart to beat any slower than a rate of 60 BPM. Pete's timers are set up so that they will correspond to a whole bunch of individual, sequential beats that come out to 60 of them in a minute. His program is adaptable so that as the heart speeds up naturally, he shortens the times he searches for to send HIS signals. UP to a point. He has an upper limit, at which point, he stops sending signals & just monitors & stores data.
Pretty smart little guy for something that is just a dumb box of sand!
Hope this has answered your question.

There is no Santa
by TickTock-UK - 2012-11-21 07:11:54
Don, what do you mean there is no Santa, he visits me every year, if he does not, who is eating my flipping pies and drinking the milk?
OK, Ian & Tattoo Man
by donr - 2012-11-21 08:11:18
I'm ready for your best shot!
Let the cuisine culture war begin!
You may begin w/ Costco hot dogs. I understand from the local Costco folks that those stores have them world wide.
Don
Who is eating the pies?
by donr - 2012-11-21 08:11:26
Tick: I can make a guess & give you some leads.
If you live next door to a pub, & you are leaving out steak & kidney pies, it's probably some inebriated sot out on a pub crawl who gets the wrong front door!
If it's any other kinds of pies, have you considered rats coming down the chimney, looking for a free meal? Or maybe the family dog?
This year, run a simple test to find out if I'm correct. leave out a plate of bangers & mash. Now, having lived among you, I tried them once & decided that no furriner in his/her right mind would consume those things on a regular basis. At this point, we need an assumption that Santa is an international personality & not a Brit. Therefore, if the B&M disappear, you are back to para one above - namely a local inebriated sot on a pub crawl. Definitely not rats or the family dog.
If I can help w/ any other small conundrums, let me know. Glad to help.

Costcos

Don
Who in their right mind would go to their local Costco to buy sausages, that's why you do not like banger and mash...our butcher makes them nice and fresh.
Mr TM
Come on I thought you knew that after the little problem when Santa got caught drink and driving them deers, he only has milk now and yes come on we all know its mince pies, I never mentioned pork pies did I??
Funny enough we always put out milk for him, to tight to waste anything stronger.
Cheers.

Tick - Bangers
by donr - 2012-11-21 10:11:18
Within our office at #5 Old Marylebone Road, we used to joke that because of the sawdust content, the Bangers we got at our habituated pub were the only ones in the world endorsed by the Vegetarian Society.

Interesting thread
by IAN MC - 2012-11-22 04:11:23
Clarencio must be wondering how his query re the workings of his PM developed into a debate on the meat content of British sausages.
Would it have worked the other way? If Clarencio had sent a post asking if we put sawdust in our sausages would we have finished up discussing what happens when he goes out jogging with Pete ?
Cheers
Ian
Am I going a bit deaf ??
by Tattoo Man - 2012-11-22 04:11:45
IAN..I was out jogging with my mate Clarence when we bumped into Pete who talked about his problem with Sawdust (woodworm?) in his Post. We were on the Old Marylebone Road at the time..Don drove past in an old Banger..shouting something about getting some Vegetables ..we saw Old Tick later on ..muttering about the' Cost' of Milk, and that he couldnt believe his 'Mince Pies, ..that he had seen Santa in a Maserati !
Has the World gone mad,..or have I missed something.?

Don: I want to thank you for your good and serious answer. To all the others---you gave me a bunch of laughs. Ian: You were right about confusion
I almost believed that Santa delivered me a heart made out of sausage and the sawdust in it would prevent a proper 60 BPM firing.
Everyone but Clarencio
by donr - 2012-11-23 08:11:11
Bet you nutcases are breathing a sigh of relief now that Clarencio has chimed in. Probably needed a bit of a break in the serious stuff, anyway.
I know that I am - as a significant part of the thread hijack by starting it wandering down the primrose path of nonsense.
Like My Wife tells people when I get going - "Don't encourage him!"

Dear Clarencio....

... you have been terribly patient with us all. I have often tried to picture what all these Cyber-Do-Gooders look like and sometimes it's not a pretty sight.
The genius that is Lou Reed once wrote, describing New York....and it could have been London, Paris..or where I live, as "Something between a Circus and a Sewer"
I have a more forgiving image of PMC, but, in reality it is a wonderful way of joining up those who , in the words of Kirsty McCall live somewhere between "The Penthouse and the Night Train"
My best wishes to you Clarencio,...stick with us..
Take care

PS Don started it all...IAN and I are just weak willed and easily lead by a master manipulator of minds.

The three *** was meant as a Post Script:
We all know that only Frank is the one true Beacon of Wisdom. On a clear night, Frank, rest easy knowing that we can see your Lazer Beam of Wisdom, over here in the UK,..where our 'Poor huddled Masses' take succour from knowing that somewhere out there in the Paradise that is California...there is a nugget of hope.
I , for one , sleep in my miserable cot of a night , so much more happily knowing that you are there...
Ni-Night Frank...
Can we have a story ??
