Publication number: 20120232366Abstract: An alarm suspend system utilizes an alarm trigger responsive to physiological parameters and corresponding limits on those parameters. The parameters are associated with both fast and slow treatment times corresponding to length of time it takes for a person to respond to medical treatment for out-of-limit parameter measurements. Audible and visual alarms respond to the alarm trigger. An alarm silence button is pressed to silence the audible alarm for a predetermined suspend time. The audible alarm is activated after the suspend time has lapsed. Longer suspend times are associated with slow treatment parameters and shorter suspend times are associated with fast treatment parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2012Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: MASIMO CORPORATIONInventors: Massi Joe E. Kiani, Steve L. Cebada, Gregory A. Olsen

Publication number: 20110001605Abstract: Medical patient monitoring devices that have the capability of detecting the physical proximity of a clinician are disclosed. The medical patient monitoring devices may be configured to perform a selected action when the presence of a clinician is detected. Systems and methods for facilitating communication between medical devices that use different medical communication protocol formats are also disclosed. For example, a medical communication protocol translator can be configured to receive an input message formatted according to a first protocol format from a first medical device and to output an output message formatted according to a second protocol format supported by a second medical device using a set of translation rules. Medical monitoring reporting systems are also disclosed. The medical monitoring reporting systems may be used to analyze a stored collection of physiological parameter data to simulate the effect of changing various medical monitoring options.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2010Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: MASIMO CORPORATIONInventors: Massi Joe E.

Patent number: 6296226Abstract: A fluid metering apparatus includes a gas inlet, a first regulator in fluid communication with the gas inlet and configured to emit the gas at a first gas pressure, and a second regulator in fluid communication with the gas inlet and configured to emit the gas at a second gas pressure. A first valve is in fluid communication with the first regulator and a second valve is in fluid communication with the second regulator. A switch mechanism has two actuators which, when separately actuated, causes either the first valve to be open and the second valve to be closed or the first valve to be closed and the second valve to be open. The apparatus further includes a fluid pressure regulating device having a fluid inlet port which receives a fluid at a fluid inlet pressure, a gas inlet port and a fluid outlet port.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2000Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: SpeedFam-IPEC CorporationInventor: Gregory A.

Patent number: 6241226Abstract: The present invention relates to a vacuum system for reliably holding wafers exposed to effluents in a wafer chuck. A vacuum pump generates a vacuum communicated to a wafer chuck through a tank. The tank has a baffle for converting vapor effluent to liquid effluent from the air sucked into the vacuum system. The tank stores the liquid effluent to prevent the effluent from fouling the vacuum pump and other components. A pressure transducer is connected to the tank to detect a loss in vacuum that may indicate a lost wafer condition. A trap is placed between the tank and the vacuum pump to detect if excessive effluents have escaped from the tank and to signal that corrective action may need to be taken.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1999Date of Patent: June 5, 2001Assignee: SpeedFam-IPEC CorporationInventors: Gregory A. Olsen, Christopher J. Lichner, Phillip Rayer, II, Chad J. Voelkers

Patent number: 5857893Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring and controlling the flow rates of processing solutions to a CMP machine during the polishing and planarization process. The apparatus comprises a processing solution source, a processing solution dispensing system for applying the solution to the CMP machine, a mechanism for transferring the processing solution from the solution source to the dispensing system, and a metering or sensing system for accurately measuring the amount of processing solution actually dispensed to the CMP machine. Preferably, the metering system comprises a coriolis mass flow meter and a controller for controlling its operation. The metering system may interface with the CMP machine controller in a feed-back loop configuration so that the actual flow rates of the solutions may be controlled in real time.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1996Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: Speedfam CorporationInventors: Gregory A.
