  • Publication number: 20230248905
    Abstract: A method for remotely activating an infusion pump includes receiving, from a user device, an activation request for the infusion pump, generating a first unique identifier responsive to receiving the request, the first unique identifier including at least one of a graphical symbol or an alphanumeric character, transmitting, to the infusion pump, an indication of the first unique identifier to cause the infusion pump to present a representation of the first unique identifier, receiving, from the user device, a user input indicating an input identifier, validating the user input by comparing the input identifier to the first unique identifier, wherein the second user input is validated responsive to a match between the input identifier and the first unique identifier, and activating the infusion pump responsive to the validation of the user input.

  • Patent number: 9689585
    Abstract: A zoned HVAC system comprises an HVAC unit including a climate control system and an air mover. In addition, the system comprises a supply air duct in fluid communication with the outlet of the HVAC unit. Further, the system comprises a return air duct in fluid communication with the inlet of the HVAC unit. Still further, the system comprises a plurality of zones positioned between the supply air duct and the return air duct. Moreover, the system comprises a bypass duct extending between the supply air duct and the return air duct. The bypass duct includes an active bypass damper having an open position, a closed position, and a plurality of partially opened positions. The system also comprises a control device configured to control the position of the bypass duct.
