Patent number: 8808178Abstract: The invention is a medical monitor including an electronic circuit configured to receive a signal from the physiological sensor. A microcomputer configured to process the signal from the physiological sensor generates a value representative of the physiological parameter. The microcomputer is also configured to cause the medical monitor to display an in-service help screen on a display on the medical monitor in response to a detection of a predetermined number of out of range values of the physiological parameter. The microcomputer can also be configured to process a second signal from a second sensor representative of a second parameter and the microcomputer configured to cause the medical monitor to display an in-service help screen on a display on the medical monitor in response to a detection of a predetermined number of out of range values of the second parameter.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.Inventors: John A. Lane, Suzanne Abate Gunter, Alisa J. Robinson, James M. Robinson, Lari E. Shreffler, Shawn C. St. Pierre

Patent number: 5154833Abstract: Thimerosal is removed from aqueous effluent streams from vaccine production to provide an invironmentally-acceptable effluent stream. The thimerosal first is converted to ionic form by chlorination, the resulting solution is dechlorinated to remove dissolved unreacted chlorine, and then the ionic mercury is removed by ion-exchange employing thiol groups.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1992Date of Patent: October 13, 1992Assignee: Connaught Laboratories Inc.Inventor: James M.
