EP Calc by Kevin D. Kravitz
Most people think in terms of heart rate (HR) but
electrophysiologists think in terms of the cycle length (CL) of heart
rhythms. The equations to convert the 2 are pretty simple but the actual
calculation is difficult. HR = 60000/CL and CL = 60000 / HR. I deal with HRs
generally 30 to 300 and CL 2000 to 200. EP Calc is to very quickly and efficiently
perform these calculations.
Judge's Comments:
Cool realtime heart monitor display. This is a pretty
specialized for doctors.

because of the compressed frames Rollercoaster! is less than 4 megabytes!
