Abstract: When analyzing video frames captured for monitoring the IV dripping process, dew droplets could exist in the image. We discussed image processing methods to remove the dew droplets from the background, including computing the difference between frames and averaging to get a proper background image. We also discussed various methods to keep the temperature of some areas of the inner surface of the drip chamber to be above the dew points in order to prevent dew droplets' formation or to remove them. In the end we showed how video of the dripping process could be shown on external display(s) for devices enclosing the drip chamber inside.

Abstract: This invention covers all aspects of an automatic IV monitoring and controlling system. It expands and completes the inventor's three earlier applications: U.S. application Ser. Nos. 12/825,368, 12/804,163 and 13/019,698. The monitoring is done by video/image processing. We give details on enhancing and processing the image. Frequency estimation can be done by a variety of techniques and we covered each class by giving at least one example. Then we discussed the mechanical system for speed control in detail covering topics such as actuator, motion guide and tube presser/supporter. In the last we discussed ways of illumination so that clear image can be obtained. A variety of techniques are given but most can be subsumed into the two principles discussed in §4.2.

Abstract: We describe a method and apparatus for monitoring the dripping speed in IV process, as well as detecting the its end. The apparatus includes a camera and a processing unit to analyze the information from the acquired video. Features from the image sequence are extracted and the dripping speed is computed accordingly by discrete Fourier transform. The apparatus is also capable of detecting the end of the dripping process by finding the location of liquid surface in the drip chamber. We also describe the use of barcode to provide information to the monitoring device and program.

Abstract: We describe electromechanical systems for IV control. Based on dripping speed measurement by video processing technique, we adjust the position of the presser to press the dripping tube to the appropriate position to control the dripping speed. To do this mechanically, the processing unit issues commands to a stepper motor to control its rotation, and either a leadscrew or its variants, or a cam, is used to translate motor's rotation into presser's linear motion. When the processing unit detects that the dripping is finished, the device will also cut the dripping off immediately with the presser.
