Valery Lyutov (asker): 7:32pm Jul 27, 2005: Sorry for the encoding - K.B. is one of the technical specifications of a blood preasure monitor. It is "Short time operation 2 minutes". I suppose it's the time it takes the device to measure blood pressure, but it's rather long on the other hand.
Ann Nosova: 8:55pm Jul 27, 2005: Это на каком языке аббревиатура? -
Valery Lyutov (asker): 8:57pm Jul 27, 2005: :) - English, I guess. The entire manual is in English
Valery Lyutov (asker): 9:18pm Jul 27, 2005: Thanks for the suggestion - but it seems totally out of place. It would make sense in something like 'Memory - 512 KB', but this K.B. is used in place of 'memory' instead. 'K.B. - Short time operation 2 minutes.' As to the memory, it is described like 'Memory capacity - 30 memories for each zone x 2 Zones'. My guess in the first note was based on the technical specifications of a similar device in Russian, but the value was 30 sec. That's why I think 2 minutes is too long. And yet I can't figure out what K.B. stands for...

Спасибо всем, но перед Leon'ом снял бы шляпу, если бы носил :) Сам бы никогда не догадался, что за аббревиатура, хотя даже и значение понял почти правильно.
