  • Publication number: 20100130922
    Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for implementation and use of a fluid connection assembly, having a locking mechanism, which may be connected to a medical fluid injection device. An example fluid connection assembly includes at least one fluid connector, a mating mechanism coupled to the at least one fluid connector and configured to connect the at least one fluid connector to a medical fluid injection device, and a locking mechanism coupled to the mating mechanism and movable into a locked position or an unlocked position. In this example, the fluid connection assembly becomes affirmatively coupled with the medical fluid injection device when the locking mechanism is in the locked position, and the fluid connection assembly becomes removably decoupled from the medical fluid injection device when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position.

  • Publication number: 20100114024
    Abstract: In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for sealing, or pinching, high-pressure fluid tubing (e.g., braided tubing) that may be used to deliver medical fluid from a powered medical fluid injection device, such as an injector that delivers contrast media and/or saline during angiographic or computed tomography (CT) procedures. In some cases, one or more low-friction, solenoid-based pinch valve mechanisms may be used. One example powered medical fluid injection device comprises an injector head and at least one pinch valve mechanism that is coupled to the injector head. The at least one pinch valve mechanism comprises a plunger, a reciprocating arm driven by the plunger, and a tube pinching area. The at least one pinch valve mechanism, when deactivated by the injector head, is configured to cause the reciprocating arm to pinch fluid tubing that runs through the tube pinching area.

  • Patent number: 7266290
    Abstract: A real-time rich media recording system. The system includes a capture module, a recording module and a random access module. The recording module real-time records a rich media source captured by the capture module as digital data. The recording module constructs a rich media relational table, and inserts an event label into the rich media relational table in response to an action instruction. The random access module stops the recording process of the recording module in response to an interrupt instruction, locates a location in the digital data, disables the event labels located after the location in the rich media relational table, and reinstates the recording module to record the rich media source at the position following the location in the digital data.

  • Publication number: 20040015595
    Abstract: A system and method for generating and playing multimedia presentations. The method synchronous records multimedia data for the presentation. The system includes a record unit, an output unit and a play unit. The record unit processes the timing between slide files and multimedia data during presentation. The output unit converts the output of the record unit to a plurality of web page files. The play unit having a browser processes the web page files to generate the multimedia presentation comprising multimedia data.
