Abstract: Systems and methods to provide an ultrasound scanner that supports handset wireless network connectivity are described. An ultrasound scanner includes a transducer system that generates, as part of an ultrasound examination, ultrasound data based on reflections of ultrasound signals transmitted by the transducer system. The ultrasound scanner includes a first transceiver that communicates, over a first communication link, the ultrasound data to a display device that displays an ultrasound image based on the ultrasound data. The ultrasound scanner includes one or more additional transceivers that communicate, over a one or more additional communication links and simultaneously with the first transceiver communicating the ultrasound data over the first communication link, the ultrasound data through an access point of a care facility administering the ultrasound examination.

Abstract: A housing module includes a housing including a housing wall, a first housing chamber and a second housing chamber separated by a partition wall, wherein: the partition wall has a through-opening for an electrical feedthrough for connecting measurement/operating electronics to interface electronics; the feedthrough satisfying requirements of an Ex-d standard; the feedthrough having an electrically insulating carrier body and a plurality of electrically conductive connecting devices for providing the electrical connection, which connecting devices extend through holes in the carrier body; the holes each having a first dimension along a hole axis and each having an inner diameter; the connecting devices each having an outer diameter; the carrier body being inserted into the through-opening from a side of the partition wall facing the first housing chamber, and forming a flame arrestor according to the Ex-d standard.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a virtual sonography team are described. An ultrasound system includes an ultrasound scanner that is configured to generate ultrasound data based on reflections of ultrasound signals transmitted by the ultrasound scanner and communicate the ultrasound data over a communication network to at least one display device and an archiver. An ultrasound machine is coupled to the ultrasound scanner and is configured to determine examination data for the ultrasound examination and communicate the examination data to the archiver over the communication network. The display device is configured to generate an ultrasound image based on the ultrasound data as part of an ultrasound examination and communicate the ultrasound image to the archiver for aggregation with the examination data into a patient record of the ultrasound examination.

Abstract: Method for the abstraction of pure serum albumin from blood which includes the steps of separating the blood plasma from the solid constituents of the blood and isolating the dissolved non-albumin constituents from plasma, adding an albumin-stabilizer and treating such fluid with a lower aliphatic alcohol, whereby, the treatment is carried out at a volume concentration of alcohol of 7 to 14% in the presence of 0.001 to 0.1 moles of the stabilizer, at a temperature of from 60.degree. to 75.degree. C. and pH of from 4.5 to 7.5; the concomitant proteins, partly or largely denatured, are precipitated; the resultant solution containing pure serum albumin is separated from the precipitate at a temperature of from 1.degree. to 30.degree. C., preferably at room temperature.
