Abstract: A fluid handling cassette, such as that useable with an automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) cycler device or other infusion apparatus, may include a generally planar body having at least one pump chamber formed as a depression in a first side of the body and a plurality of flowpaths for a fluid that includes a channel. A patient line port may be arranged for connection to a patient line and be in fluid communication with the at least one pump chamber via at least a first one of said flowpaths, and an optional membrane may be attached to the first side of the body over the at least one pump chamber. In one embodiment, the membrane may have a pump chamber portion with an unstressed shape that generally conforms to the depression of the at least one pump chamber in the body and is arranged to be movable for movement of the fluid in a useable space of the at least one pump chamber.

Abstract: A telemetry data processor for processing extremely high bandwidth data such as that associated with telemetry from spacecraft. A demultiplexer (1) distributes the data onto several channels (CHl through CHn), each comprising a (preferably split-cycle synchronous) processing bus (BUSl through BUSn). Processing can occur on each of the n buses simultaneously. Several processor modules (P boards) are directly coupled to each processing bus, with each P board directly coupled to two buses. Several memory modules (M boards) are directly coupled to each processing bus, with each M board directly coupled to two buses. The functions and architectures of the P boards and M boards are described, along with those of D boards (disk controller modules) and I boards (modules for interfacing the telemetry data processor with its outside environment, which may comprise local area networks, peripherals, gateways, etc.).
