Abstract: A medical ventilator (100, 200) including a first user interface (114) having a touch-sensitive display having a display area; and at least one controller (104) which determines whether a second user interface (122, 222) having a touch-sensitive display is coupled to the medical ventilator, enables the first user interface when it is determined that the second user interface is not coupled to the medical ventilator, and enables the second user interface when it is determined that the second user interface is coupled to the medical ventilator.

Abstract: A method for clutter filter processing is provided. The method provides for extracting a blood component from an element signal produced by an element to obtain a filtered element signal, and extracting a blood component from a beamsum signal to obtain a filtered beamsum signal, calculating a time delay estimate between the filtered element signal and the filtered beamsum signal, or between the filtered element signal and the beam sum signal, or between the element signal and the filtered beamsum signal and applying the time delay estimate to correct transmit and receive beamforming time delays for the element. Systems and apparatus that afford functionality of the type defined by this method may be provided by the present technique.
