Patent number: 12605702Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to flow cartridges configured to measure and/or detect analytes in urine. A representative flow cartridge includes a urine inlet configured to receive urine from a patient, a flow channel fluidly coupled to the urine inlet, and sensors fluidly coupled to the flow channel that are configured to measure parameters of the urine flow. The sensors are aligned with corresponding sensing zones of the flow channel and are operable to generate sensor data based on urine flow through the sensing zones. In some embodiment, the sensor data is used to provide fluid therapy to the patient by adjusting an amount or rate of diuretic and/or hydration fluid based on the sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2022Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: REPRIEVE CARDIOVASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Eric Conley, Jim Dillon, Howard Robert Levin, Zoar Engelman, Martin Peacock, Megha Shah, Andrew Victor Halpert

Publication number: 20240197244Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for delivering fluid therapy to a patient are disclosed herein. An exemplary method can comprise obtaining a urine output rate from a patient; causing a diuretic to be provided to the patient at a dosage rate, and increasing the dosage rate of the diuretic from the initial dosage rate to additional dosage rates higher than the initial dosage rate over a period of time. In some embodiments, the additional dosage rates include a first dosage rate higher than the initial dosage rate, a second dosage rate higher than the first dosage rate, and a third dosage rate higher than the second dosage rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2024Publication date: June 20, 2024Inventors: Howard R.

Patent number: 11950925Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for delivering fluid therapy to a patient are disclosed herein. An exemplary method can comprise obtaining a urine output rate from a patient; causing a diuretic to be provided to the patient at a dosage rate, wherein the dosage rate is increased over a period of time such that the urine output rate increases to be above a predetermined threshold within the period of time; and causing a hydration fluid to be provided to the patient at a hydration rate. The hydration rate can be set based on the urine output rate to drive net fluid loss from the patient.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: REPRIEVE CARDIOVASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Howard R.

Patent number: 8600571Abstract: A system for optimizing a usage of energy based on cost, carbon footprint, and/or other criteria. The usage may be optimized for the next day or more. The optimization may deal with renewable energy, grid energy and stored energy. Various inputs may be considered for optimization, which could include energy costs, weather forecasts, characteristics of renewable energy, the load and storage, and other items. The optimizer may use equipment models with numerical transfer functions to take inputs and provide optimized estimates for the next day or so of energy usage. The outputs of the models may go to an optimization algorithms module for providing an output based on the inputs. The output may provide control information for the selection and amounts of the different types of energy in a scheduled manner.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2008Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Jim Dillon, Ronald Blagus, Stephen Parr, Venkat Iyer, Alan Houghton
