Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasound multifunction system having a monitoring pad configured for application to a patient, an ultrasound probe that connects to the monitoring pad and has a plurality of ultrasound transducers, an ultrasound beamforming device configured to control the ultrasound transducers to focus an ultrasound beam into the patient and to read resulting reflections of the ultrasound beam, and a multifunction monitoring system. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the multifunction monitoring system is configured to monitor other patient measures unrelated to ultrasound and has a display configured to generate a concurrent display of (i) an acquired ultrasound image based on the resulting reflections of the ultrasound beam and (ii) information based on the other patient measures. In some implementations, the ultrasound beamforming device is integrated into the multifunction monitoring system.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasound system having a monitoring pad for application to a patient, an ultrasound probe that connects to the monitoring pad and has a plurality of ultrasound transducers, and an ultrasound beamforming device configured to control the ultrasound transducers to focus an ultrasound beam into the patient and to read resulting reflections of the ultrasound beam. The monitoring pad has an ultrasound gel pad and a support structure that holds the ultrasound gel pad. In accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure, the support structure is geometrically configured to receive the ultrasound probe and to hold it in a fixed arrangement against the ultrasound gel pad, such that the ultrasound gel pad is sandwiched between the patient and the ultrasound transducers. In some implementations, the monitoring pad has electrocardiogram electrodes and/or other sensor(s) unrelated to ultrasound, and the ultrasound beamforming device receives readings from the same.

Abstract: There is provided a method and system for delivering applications from a server system to at least one distant client devices through a computer network. The applications being physically processed at the server system but virtually delivered to the at least one client device. This allows the client device to benefit from every application of every OS as well as any processing power located at the server system such as specific hardware components and multi-computer processing units. Such method and system includes a process that encapsulates the server system software application and application environment in a Hypermedia Stream (HMS), the latter HMS providing seamless interactivity on the encapsulated and delivered software application.
