Abstract: One example of an internet protocol (IP) keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) device includes a universal serial bus, a display port, a network port, and a processor. The USB port is to be communicatively coupled to a host device. The display port is to be communicatively coupled to the host device. The network port is to be communicatively coupled to a network. The processor is communicatively coupled to the USB port, the display port, and the network port. The processor is to receive, via the display port, a multi-stream transport (MST) DisplayPort signal; demux the MST DisplayPort signal to provide a plurality of individual video streams; and output, via the network port, each individual video stream.

Abstract: A temperature management system controls a temperature of a body of a patient and determines a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient. The system includes a heat exchange system configured to exchange heat with a body of a patient and to record operational data while controlling the temperature of the body of the patient. The temperature management system receives temperature data from a sensor, controls the heat exchange system to maintain the temperature of the body of the patient within a target temperature range, receives, in response to the controlling, operational data, determines, based on the temperature data and the operational data, a value indicative of a thermoregulatory activity of the patient, and generates, based on the value, an alert through the user interface indicating the thermoregulatory activity of the patient.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring pressure in a patient are provided which may include any number of features. One feature is a pressure measurement system comprising a pressure source, a compliant bladder, a catheter in communication with the pressure source, pressure sensors, and a controller configured to determine a pressure within the compliant bladder. The pressure measurement system can inflate the compliant bladder with gas or air to determine a pressure within a patient. In one embodiment, the pressure measurement system measures pressure within a peritoneal cavity.

Abstract: A system for treating tissue in a patient includes a body having a cooling fluid supply path and a tissue piercing probe in fluid communication with the cooling fluid supply path. The probe extends distally from the body and is insertable into the tissue through the patient's skin. A cooling fluid source is fluidly coupled with the probe such that when cooling is initiated, cooling fluid flows in the probe thereby cooling the probe and any adjacent tissue. A heater element is in thermal engagement with the cooling fluid source and a power source provides power to the heater element thereby heating the cooling fluid. The power source has sufficient power to heat the cooling fluid to at least a desired temperature but has insufficient power to heat the cooling fluid above a critical temperature which results in rupture of the cooling fluid source.

Abstract: A redundant temperature measurement probe is described that may include any number of features. In one embodiment, the probe includes a pair of resistive sensors, a pair of output wires, and a shared ground wire for a total of three wires. The first and second resistive sensors of the probe can be electrically connected to a controller to measure temperature and detect when a fault in the probe occurs.

Abstract: A systems and methods for controlling temperature in a cryogenic device includes providing a device having a probe and a heater element. A distal region of the probe is engaged with the target region. Measuring and recording current temperature of a proximal region of the probe and time of the measurement is used to determine slope of a temperature curve defined by two points. The first point is defined by the current temperature and time of measurement and a second point is defined by a previous measurement of proximal region temperature and time of measurement. When the slope is less than a slope threshold value a treatment flag is activated, treatment start time is recorded and the proximal region is heated with the heater element. Heating is discontinued and the treatment flag is deactivated after elapsed treatment time exceeds a duration threshold value.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods efficiently dilate and/or cool blood vessels and other body tissues. Controlled cooling with balloon catheters and other probes may be effected by a change in phase of a cryogenic fluid, often after measuring a minimum pulse width for actuating an individual solenoid valve along the cooling fluid path, with the measured pulse width allowing gradual inflation of a balloon without excessive venting of cooling fluid.
