Abstract: Provided is a process, including: receiving, via the network interface, from a remote user device, a command to change a state of the fluid-handling device to a target state; translating the received command into a translated command operative to cause a local controller of the fluid-handling device to drive the fluid-handling equipment to the target state, the local controller being responsive to the command and feedback from the fluid-handling device indicative of whether the fluid-handling device is in the target state; and sending the translated command to the local controller

Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided that operate to stabilize blood flow at the site of an injury in a patient, particularly in tissues of the central nervous system. Such an apparatus and methods may mitigate the severity of an injury by optimizing blood flow and reducing secondary damage, leading to improved neurological recovery. A closed-loop system may control one or more parameters at the site of injury by regulating circulating carbon dioxide levels or carbon dioxide and oxygen and/or pH. An example embodiment includes a controller that controls a gas mixer to vary the CO2 concentration in a gas supplied for breathing by a patient in response to an output signal from a sensor that monitors one or more desired outcomes. Example applications of the present technology include treating spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and cardiac condition or event.

Abstract: An implantable blood pressure monitor has two or more elements configured to wrap at least part way around a blood vessel. Changes in pressure within the blood vessel may be sensed by detecting movements of the elements or forces applied to the elements. A blood pressure monitor may be implanted without surgery. The blood pressure monitor may transmit real time blood pressure information to a receiver by wireless data transmission.
