Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the drip rate of an infusion fluid being administered by an intravenous infusion set comprising a housing, drop sensor, alarm and processor. The housing is attachable to a drip chamber, and the drop sensor is positioned in the housing to detect drops of the infusion fluid being administered by the intravenous infusion set. The processor determines a first amount of time required for the drop sensor to detect a first set of drops of infusion fluid having a predetermined number of drops, determines a second amount of time required for the drop sensor to detect a second set of drops of infusion fluid having the predetermined number of drops, compares the second amount of time to a range of time having a minimum that is less than the first amount of time and a maximum that is greater than the first amount of time, and activates the alarm if the second period of time is not within the range of time.

Abstract: An improved tongue cleaner includes a U-shaped scraper portion and handle portions integrally formed that extend from respective ends of the U-shaped scraper portion. The U-shaped scraper portion has a flange projected perpendicularly from an inner face of the scraper portion and extending therealong to define a corner space on each of two opposed sides of the flange and the inner face for containing matter scraped from the tongue or a user.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an ultrasound system and method, and more particularly to an excitation enhanced ultrasound system and method. The system employs at least one excitation signal as a "flashlight" for exciting ultrasonic microbubbles contained in an ultrasound contrast agent. The system further employs at least one ultrasound imaging signal for imaging structures and blood flow within an object. The excitation signal excites and expands the microbubbles which increase the amount of returned ultrasound imaging signals scattered and returned by an object. This process increases the signal to noise ratio of the returning imaging signal sufficiently to provide exciter weighted imaging, blood pool imaging, and harmonic imaging, facilitating improved diagnostic ultrasound and therapeutic ultrasound.

Abstract: The vessel portion of a gas-tight container suitable for packaging fresh foods is produced as a composite of paperboard and polymer film. A pair of folded paperboard blanks, pre-cut and pre-formed, are inserted into the opposite halves of split mold elements to a blow molding machine. Vacuum orifices in each mold half unit temporarily secure the position of a respective paperboard blank. The paperboard lined mold halves are closed upon a hot, extruded parison of malleable polymer leaving an end portion of the parison tube projecting from the closed mold unit. A fluid conducting needle penetrates this projected end portion to inflate the parison with an apppropriate blowing gas. Such inflation expands the malleable polymer, seamlessly and creaselessly, into the internal corners and crevices of the folded paperboard blanks. Following chilling, the mold unit is opened and the pair of paperboard blanks are ejected as a singular unit, joined by a molded flange of the continuous polymer film.
