  • Publication number: 20240099583
    Abstract: An example method is performed by a computing device executing instructions stored in data storage, and includes receiving physiologic monitoring data from a plurality of sensors coupled to a patient, receiving information indicating a measurement of patient motion during the patient care event, determining whether the measurement of patient motion is above a threshold, based on determining whether the measurement of patient motion is above the threshold, generating, for the physiologic monitoring data, a respective quality indicator, analyzing, by the computing device, (i) a combination of the physiologic monitoring data from the plurality of sensors and (ii) the respective quality indicator for the physiologic monitoring data to generate a response dependent upon the combination of the physiologic monitoring data as weighted by the respective quality indicator, and based on analyzing, outputting caregiver feedback by the computing device according to the response.

  • Publication number: 20240091546
    Abstract: Various systems, methods, and devices related to modifying views of a multi-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), as well as identifying notations associated with the multi-lead ECG, are described. An example method includes displaying graphical elements in a first arrangement. The graphical elements respectively depict electrical signals indicative of an electrical activity of a heart. The example method further includes detecting a signal indicative of a display selection, and, based on the display selection, rearranging the graphical elements from the first arrangement to a second arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20240065576
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to determining physiological parameters and associated reliability of the physiological parameters and displaying the data in a manner that conveys the reliability information to a user. The reliability index is determined and then used to determine one or more display attributes for displaying the underlying parameter data while also conveying the reliability information. The implementations described herein provide for displaying physiological parameters in a manner that is easily digested and understood while also conveying a reliability in such data, without filling or cluttering a display with background or additional data that is typically used in a manual method to evaluate the data on the display.

  • Patent number: 3985510
    Abstract: A flash reactor unit includes a housing shaped to define a chamber therein in which gases and particulate matter are continuously circulated. A stream of hot, high velocity exhaust gas from a combustion chamber turbine is introduced into the chamber proximate the bottom thereof such that the gases are directed upwardly into the chamber. A cooling liquid such as, for example, sanitary waste liquid, is sprayed into the chamber proximate the top thereof. At the same time metallic waste objects, such as tin cans, are introduced to the chamber with the hot gases continuously circulating the metallic objects to thereby expose substantially all of the surface area of the objects to the chemicals in the hot gases and the liquid sanitary waste. The surfaces of the metallic objects form a reaction surface for generating insoluble salts from the hot gases, the metallic objects and the liquid wastes. The metallic objects are continuously ejected from the chamber as more metallic objects are introduced therein.

  • Patent number: 3930960
    Abstract: An evaporator-condenser unit is disclosed which includes an elongated enclosed chamber into which hot gases are injected to form a cyclonic stream therein. The hot gases impinge and pass around a substantial plurality of tubes containing relatively cool sanitary liquid waste. Condensation thereby forms on the tubes and is blown by the cyclonic action of the hot gas stream to the outer periphery of the cyclonic chamber where the condensation is collected and conveyed away from the chamber. At the same time, the heat from the hot gases is transferred to the liquid sanitary waste which is converted into steam in a steam expansion chest at the top of the cyclonic chamber. The steam is compressed and injected back into the hot gas stream flowing into the cyclonic chamber. The steam is then condensed on the tubes and conveyed away for appropriate utilization.
