Publication number: 20240159068Abstract: A docking station for a medical device is described. In some examples, the docking station includes a frame and a base plate coupled to the frame. At least a portion of the base plate is coupled to a lower portion of the frame. In some examples, an electronic connector of the docking station is configured to couple to the medical device and to provide power to the medical device when the medical device is docked to the docking station. In some examples, a docking mechanism is coupled to an upper portion of the frame and configured to retain the medical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: Physio-Control, Inc.Inventors: Barry D. Curtin, Alexander Hamilton, Kristina Edmonson, David Andrews, Christopher G. Alviar, Neal Stanley Clark, Benjamin Danziger, Christopher William Egbert, Jason Fouts, Matthew Malone, Joshua Berndt, Brigitta M. Suwandana, Jeremy Edward Brummett

Patent number: 11951322Abstract: Accessories of a medical device, such as a defibrillator, are described. The accessories reduce delays in treating or monitoring a patient by increasing the efficiency of using, and the ease of use of, the medical device. An adjustable kickstand is movable between a collapsed and extended position to recline the medical device. In the reclined position, a display of the medical device can be more easily viewed by the user. Storage bags can be coupled to the medical device to efficiently store accessories for use with the medical device. The stored accessories can be coupled to the medical device while the accessories are stored within the storage bags. A port guard can protect and shield a connection between a cable and a port of the medical device to prevent the cable (e.g., an ECG cable) from being disconnected from the port of the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: PHYSIO-CONTROL, INC.Inventors: Christopher G.

Patent number: 10832279Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a unique invocation of an online feature are disclosed. A key is distributed to multiple users. Upon performing a user action, the key is sent to a Bloom filter. If the output of the Bloom filter is a negative activation, the invocation is deemed to be unique. If the output of the Bloom filter is a positive activation, the invocation is deemed to be non-unique. For a large data set, the computational overhead of processing the key with the Bloom filter is significantly less than the brute force database approach. Thus, in large systems with many millions of users and possible user actions, disclosed embodiments allow assessment of a unique action in a timely manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2016Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Christopher M.

Patent number: 10769658Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for detecting anomalies in electronic communications. Specifically, a set of response metrics is obtained from each of a plurality of communications. Each of the plurality of communications is part of a communications batch. Based on an aggregation of the response metric over the plurality of communications, a response metric value for one or more of the set of response metrics is computed. This response metric value is compared to a predicted metric value corresponding to the response metric. Based on this comparison, it is determined whether the response metric value is anomalous. If the response metric value is anomalous, a remediation activity is performed.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michelle L. Carlough, Christopher M. Curtin, Robert K. Parkin, Joshua P. Schiffman, Zuochun Tang, Richard T. Winchell
