  • Patent number: 12168112
    Abstract: A fluid injector system for use in administering to a patient a fluid in an injection protocol in connection with a diagnostic imaging procedure includes at least one display and a control device. The control device is programmed to determine, for each of the injection protocols performed by the fluid injector system, a component status for the at least one disposable component. The component status indicates whether use of the at least one disposable component was compliant with instructions for use applicable to the at least one disposable component. The control device is further programmed to enable the at least one display to display a compliance report. The compliance report includes one or more visual indicators providing visual feedback about compliance with the instructions for use based on the component status determined for each of the injection protocols performed using the fluid injector system.

  • Patent number: 12168153
    Abstract: A method of fire suppression may include injecting a reactive agent into a reaction zone to produce a catalytically active species for fire suppression and conveying the catalytically active species to a fire to catalytically interfere with flame chemistry of the fire. Fire in a fuel tank may be suppressed by injecting the reactive agent into a convective flow of a mixture of fuel and oxidizer in a fuel tank, the reactive agent reacting in the fuel tank to release a species which catalytically interferes with flame chemistry to suppress fire in the fuel tank. Fire at an airplane crash may be suppressed by releasing the reactive agent from the container at the crash site to produce an active species to catalytically interfere with a fire at the crash site.

  • Patent number: 12170575
    Abstract: A method may include transmitting, to a wireless device, radio resource control (RRC) messages that include parameters of a multicast and broadcast service (MBS). The parameters may indicate a first feedback operation with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback being enabled and may indicate a second feedback operation with the HARQ feedback being disabled. A group common downlink control information (DCI) may indicate one of the first feedback operation or the second feedback operation. The method may also include transmitting a first group common DCI, which may schedule a first transport block (TB) of the MBS and may indicate the first feedback operation. The method may further include receiving, based on the first group common DCI indicating the first feedback operation, a first HARQ feedback for the first TB.
