Abstract: Data that is derived from a medical device connected to or communicating with, a patient monitor mount, is detected by the patient monitor mount. The data is monitored for events associated with the medical device. The patient monitor mount then determines that the monitored event corresponds to an event. The patient monitor mount generates at least one command for a visualization device to change the data displayed on the visualization device. The command is then transmitted to the visualization device. Related apparatus, systems, methods and articles e also described.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described herein for a communication bus that virtualizes physiological data. Sensors and/or physiological data acquisition devices have different physical connectors which provide physiological data from a patient to a shared interface such as a display or patient monitor. A transfer interface within a mount can receive and interpret data streams associated with one or more physiological data acquisition devices. The transfer interface can prioritize the various data streams associated with the one or more physiological data acquisition devices and generate a single, combined data stream based on the assigned prioritization. The transfer interface can provide the combined data stream for transmission to a patient monitor via an interchangeable transport medium. Another transfer interface can process and/or virtualize the data streams from the physiological data acquisition devices.

Abstract: A method and computer-readable recording media using a self-describing module for updating data in a medical monitoring device. The self-describing module includes a metadata block (MDB) that includes at least identification (ID) data and corresponding configuration data. The medical monitoring device includes a plurality of sub-systems. Associating ID data from the MDB with ID data of the plurality of sub-systems of the medical monitoring device, and then updating configuration data of at least one sub-system with the configuration data in the MDB based on the result of the association.

Abstract: A patient parameter communication hub includes a plurality of patient-parameter-connectors, a data conversion unit, a medical-analysis station connector, and a data-network connector. The plurality of patient-parameter-connectors are adapted for receiving physiological parameter data in a first format. The physiological parameter data are generated by one or more physiological parameter data generators. The data conversion unit is adapted for converting the received physiological parameter data from the first format to a second format. The medical-analysis station connector is adapted for transmitting the received physiological parameter data in the second format to a medical-analysis station for processing and for receiving processed physiological parameter data in the second format from the medical-analysis station. The data-network connector adapted for transmitting the received processed physiological parameter data in the second format over a data-network to one or more destinations.

Abstract: A client device wirelessly receives data including (i) a remaining lifetime and (ii) a charge state of a battery. The data is determined by a battery diagnostic device including a battery gauge, operatively connected to the battery, which measures a stored energy in the battery, and at least one transceiver operatively connected to the battery gauge through a microcontroller. The client device wirelessly relays the received data to a computer system connected to a network to enable the computer system, executing a battery analysis program, to determine an expected charge state of the battery at a future time.

Abstract: An optical sensor in operation with at least one data processor forming part of at least one computing system receives data including an instruction to obtain settings from a source medical device. The optical sensor scans a field of view of the optical sensor to acquire a first identifier associated with the source medical device. Data comprising instructions to retrieve settings for the source medical device associated with the first identifier is transmitted. Transfer of instructions to a destination medical device is initiated, which when received by the destination medical device, causes the destination medical device to update using the settings. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: A distributed control system architecture (HSE) provides an open, interoperable solution optimized for integration of distributed control systems and other control devices in a high performance backbone, provides an open, interoperable solution that provides system time synchronization suitable for distributed control applications operable over a high performance backbone, and provides an open, interoperable solution that provides a fault tolerant high performance backbone as well as fault tolerant devices that are connected to the backbone. The distributed control system architecture comprises a High speed Ethernet Field Device Access (HSE FDA) Agent, which maps services of a distributed control system, e.g., a fieldbus System, to and from a standard, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Ethernet/Internet component.

Abstract: A computer is connected to redundant network switches by primary and secondary connections, respectively. Test messages are sent across each connection to the attached switches. A break in a connection, or a faulty connection, is detected upon a failed response to one of the test messages. In response to this failure, traffic is routed across the remaining good connection. To facilitate fast protocol rerouting, a test message is sent across the now active connection bound for the switch connected to the failed connection. This message therefor traverses both switches causing each to learn the new routing. Rerouting is therefor accomplished quickly.
