  • Patent number: 11266773
    Abstract: A dialysis machine (e.g., a peritoneal dialysis machine) may include a housing. The machine may further include a leak detector disposed in the housing, the leak detector being an electrical circuit. In response to fluid contacting the leak detector, a leak in the dialysis machine is detectable. The machine is configured to send a signal based on a short of the electrical circuit from fluid contact with the leak detector to indicate a leak condition.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200209043
    Abstract: A dialysis system may include a dialysis machine (e.g., a peritoneal dialysis machine) having a housing. Tubing may be extendable between the dialysis machine and a patient for fluid delivery from a container to the patient during a dialysis treatment. A connector may be attachable to the housing and configured to receive at least an end of the tubing. A capacitive sensor may be disposed in proximity to the connector. In connection with priming the tubing, prior to the dialysis treatment, a fluid may be flowable through the tubing from the container to the end of the tubing at the connector such that a presence of the fluid at the end of the tubing may be detectable by the capacitive sensor.

  • Patent number: 10104592
    Abstract: Mechanisms for managing interference in heterogeneous networks are disclosed. A macro node triggers a handover of a user equipment (UE) being serviced by the macro node to a low power node (LPN) operating in a closed access operating mode wherein the LPN provides service to member UEs. The UE is a non-member of the LPN. The macro node determines a trigger condition, and based on the trigger condition signals the LPN to provide service to the UE. The macro node also directs the UE to execute the handover to the LPN.
