  • Publication number: 20250228989
    Abstract: A disinfection platform for at least partially disinfecting a proximal surface is provided. A disinfection apparatus includes a housing defining an aperture, a UV light source enclosed in the housing configured to project a UV illumination pattern toward a target disinfection area where the disinfection apparatus is disposed above one end and oriented at a downward angle. The illumination pattern output from the disinfection apparatus at least partially defined by louvers and an occlusion nose with reflective fins positioned at the aperture such that the illumination pattern at the target disinfection surface has improved intensity distribution. Multiple sensors cooperate with a control circuit operating the UV light source to provide intelligent and automated control with pattern detection, event based disinfection, and validation.

  • Patent number: 12357755
    Abstract: A fluid management system may include an inflow pump configured to pump fluid from a fluid supply source to a treatment site within a patient at a flow rate; and a controller configured to operate at a target flow rate in a flow control mode. In the flow control mode, the controller may be configured to maintain the target flow rate while monitoring a measured pressure communicated to the controller from a pressure sensor. When the measured pressure reaches a preset pressure threshold, the controller may be configured to automatically switch from the flow control mode to a pressure override mode in which the controller automatically reduces the flow rate below the target flow rate to return the measured pressure at or below the preset pressure threshold.

  • Patent number: 12053559
    Abstract: A dynamic treatment system incorporates multiple pathogen reduction devices and sensors for enhanced pathogen reduction. The system can provide coordinated multi-level control to provide automated engineered control of pathogen reduction that is suitable for use in confined spaces, such as building and vehicle systems. Room level occupancy tracking provides biological load level estimates while pressure level sensing provides pathogen travel path estimation through the building. Combining this pathogen load information and airflow path information the system can drive room level and building level pathogen reduction device adjustments to enhance pathogen reduction based on expected pathogen travel. Zone level pathogen interception, height adjustable portable treatment devices, along with various application specific pathogen reduction devices can be integrated into the dynamic treatment system.

  • Patent number: 11850396
    Abstract: A fluid management and medical device system may include a fluid management system and a medical device having one or more sensors proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft of the medical device. The controller of the fluid management system may be configured to calculate a fluid deficit when the distal end of the elongate shaft is disposed within a patient and configured to automatically pause fluid deficit calculation when the distal end of the elongate shaft is removed from the patient. In some instances the controller is configured to calculate the fluid deficit using rotational speed of the inflow pump in combination with a difference between a change in weight of a fluid supply source supplying fluid to the fluid management system and a change in weight of a collection container collecting fluid from the fluid management system.

  • Patent number: 10474342
    Abstract: One example method for navigating a scrollable user interface includes outputting to a display device the scrollable user interface, the scrollable user interface including a scroll-control target. The method further includes receiving a pointer input, and moving a position of a virtual pointer on the scrollable user interface responsive to the pointer input. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a first region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a first speed. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a second region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a second speed, faster than the first speed.

  • Patent number: 10304412
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a first computing device, a command regarding operation of an application. A first version of the application is configured to execute on the first computing device and a second version of the application is configured to execute on a second computing device that has a different form factor than the first computing device. In response to receiving the command, the first computing device may determine a series of instructions that cause the first version of the application to display visual representations of an activity on the first computing device synchronized to displayed visual representations of the activity on the second computing device. The displayed visual representations are respectively adapted to the form factors of the first and the second computing devices. The first computing device may execute the determined series of instructions.
