Georgi Lathbury has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System for fluid retention management
    Patent number: 7207966
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fluid retention management system that records and displays fluid retention of a patient based on the weight of fluid entering and exiting the patient's body. Scales or other weighing devices are used to weigh the fluid entering and exiting the body so that the corresponding fluid volume may be calculated. The system automatically detects when a fluid container is being replaced. The fluid deficit of the patient is calculated according to the difference between the fluid volume entering the patient and the fluid volume exiting the patient. An operator is able to enter the specific gravity of the fluid and a fluid deficit alarm threshold. If the fluid deficit exceeds the alarm threshold, audible and visual alarms are generated.

  • Control panel for intravascular ultrasonic imaging system
    Patent number: 6361497
    Abstract: A control panel for an ultrasonic imaging system. A pointing device such as a track ball is centrally located on the control panel and a plurality of buttons and control knobs are arranged around the pointing device in a manner that is ergonomically improved and enhances intuitive system operation. For example, a plurality of image mode selection buttons may be arranged in a substantially linear fashion and located above the pointing device on the control panel. The imaging mode selection buttons preferably are arranged from left to right in order of anticipated use or in order of anticipated frequency of use.
