  • Patent number: 12171919
    Abstract: A renal therapy system is disclosed. In an example, the renal therapy system includes a home renal therapy machine that stores, to a log file, dates of when renal therapies were performed and a type of each renal therapy that was performed. The system also includes a server that receives the log file from the home renal therapy machine. The server compares the dates and types of performed renal therapies stored in the log file to a device program that specifies dates for performing renal therapies and the types of renal therapies to be performed. The server displays a flag in a user interface of a clinician computer when there is a deviation from the comparison.

  • Patent number: 12110597
    Abstract: Methods of applying an inorganic material to a metal substrate that includes a metallic material having an austenite transformation temperature. The method includes depositing inorganic particles onto a surface of the metal substrate. In some embodiments, methods may include depositing inorganic particles at a deposition temperature that does not cause the metallic material to exceed the austenite transformation temperature. The inorganic particles deposited onto the surface of the metal substrate may form an abrasion-resistant coating on the surface of the metal substrate. The difference between the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metallic material and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the abrasion-resistant coating may be 10×10?6/degrees C. or less.

  • Patent number: 12099084
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for real-time fault detection in electrical circuits. Various embodiments provide a fault detection circuit that uses a resistor network that is controlled to detect an internal current leak in multiple directions, e.g., to ground or to a power supply. The magnitude of the leakage current may be estimated from voltage measurements at voltage pins. In addition, as part of circuit diagnostics, open and short circuit fault conditions may be identified by using current sources and measuring deflections at the voltage pins.
