  • Publication number: 20020165733
    Abstract: Method and system for real time monitoring of activities within a health care tracking environment generates a substantially complete and accurate electronic patient care record, and makes information on evaluation of patient care, including identification of variances with the performance of patient care in accordance with a patient care event schedule, and patient care activities available in real time. The schedule is updated automatically, or based on human input, when the system deduces from the collected activity information that an event in the schedule has been performed or a change in patient care is necessary. When variances with the schedule of patient care are identified, caregivers are notified and patient schedules are accordingly modified based on the nature of the variance.

  • Patent number: 4886528
    Abstract: The invention relates to a water separator for a gas analyzer, comprising a tube (12) for passing a gas sample into the water separator, wherein water separation is effected in a tubular passage by dividing the flow into two partial flows. The wall or walls (3) of a first tubular passage (17) are made of a porous material, readily permeable to gas, and this main flow, which has penetrated the wall, is passed into a second tubular passage (4) and via a tube (10) on to measuring sensors (5 and 6) but the water, which is not able to penetrate the porous wall of first passage (17), is passed along with a minor amount of gas down a passage (17, 13) into a water receiver (15) and this many times lesser side flow further via a tube (14) into a third tubular passage (16), through its porous wall (3) into a fourth tubular passage (18) and via a tube (11) through a flow throttle (7) on to a pump (8).

  • Patent number: 4633705
    Abstract: The invention relates to paramagnetic analyzer for measurement of oxygen contents of gas mixtures. The analyzer comprises electromagnet in a closed cavity controlled with chopped DC-current, sample and reference gas conduits entering the cavity and magnet core and common exit conduit. Gases are led to magnetic field in the gap between magnet poles through holes (13) and (14) drilled into the magnet core so that pedestals (15 and 16) in the gap guide gas flows to collide to be mixed. The mixed gas flows freely out from the gap to the surrounding cavity space (1).
