  • Patent number: 12237061
    Abstract: A gravimetric verification system, method, and computer program product for automated detection and correction of reference density information based. An expected density of a fluid drug can be determined from the measured mass of a fluid drug and the intended volume of the fluid drug to be delivered to a medication container. The expected density can be compared to previously calculated densities for the fluid to verify the accuracy of a reference density value, verify the measurements and functional status of the measuring device for the fluid drug, and, in some instances, provide control or configuration commands to adjust one or more devices.

  • Publication number: 20250029119
    Abstract: A certification system includes a processing apparatus configured to enable entry of information relating to the home into a verifier computing device, the information relating to the home including: (i) a geotagged image of the home, and (ii) a number of geotagged images each indicative of an observation made by the verifier about a part of the home or a measurement or test that was performed by the verifier on the home. The processing apparatus is also configured to determine whether the number of geotagged images indicative of the measurement or test can be verified based on at least metadata indicating the location where the image indicative of the observation, measurement or test was captured, and determine whether the home meets a certification standard based on the information relating to the home if the number of geotagged images indicative of the observation, measurement or test can be verified.

  • Publication number: 20240299659
    Abstract: A system and method for operating an analgesia administration system is disclosed. A control device is associated with a drug delivery device and configured to receive a first user input including at least a portion of a fingerprint of a patient, together with a second user input corresponding to a request to administer medication. The portion of the fingerprint is compared with previously-stored fingerprints to determine an identity of the patient and, in response to receiving the second user input and determining that the patient is an authorized user, one or more sensors are used to obtain one or more signals indicative of a state of the patient. If the state of the patient satisfies a set of medication delivery criteria, the drug delivery device is caused to administer a predefined amount of medication to the patient.

  • Patent number: 11174591
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for clarification of raw green liquor in a sedimentation tank. According to the invention is a part of dregs separated in the sedimentation tank recirculated back into the inflow of raw green liquor, and preferably after passing the dregs through at least one turbulence generator (30, 31) that could break up larger dregs particles into smaller dregs particles, and thus create larger total surface on the dregs particles, improving sedimentation rate in the sedimentation tank. In a preferred embodiment is the recirculated dregs added into the flow of raw green liquor before a flocculant is added into the flow of raw green liquor and mixed recirculated dregs.
