  • Publication number: 20220331513
    Abstract: A system for maintaining drug information and communicating with medication delivery devices includes software designed for use in a hospital, pharmacy or biomedical technical service environments. The software may be provided on a computer readable medium. The software allows a facility to customize a drug library with both hard and soft drug limits and other parameters for use with an infuser having a plug and play module removably inserted into a slot within a housing, or for use with an infuser having a connectivity engine enclosed within the housing. The system supports data transfer to one or more infusers connected to one or more computers. The connection between the computer and the pump can be hard wired or wireless.

  • Patent number: 5582176
    Abstract: Doppler Ultrasound techniques have been used for many years to measure the flow rate of fluids. One of the challenges in using these techniques is to separate fluid flow signal from background noise. The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for automatically distinguishing fluid flow signal from noise. It is found that noise in Doppler ultrasound techniques has characteristic of a white Gaussian spectral distribution and the mean noise can be characterized as a constant. The present invention involves measuring ultrasonic signals, generating sets of discrete spectral components from these signals, and statistically determining a maximum likelihood estimation from the spectral components. This estimation is used to calculate the fluid velocity.
