  • Patent number: 11955207
    Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for data analysis of experimental data. The analysis can include reference data that are not directly generated from the present experiment, which reference data may be values of the experimental parameters that were either provided by a user, computed by the system with input from a user, or computed by the system without using any input from a user. Another example of such reference data may be information about the instrument, such as the calibration method of the instrument.

  • Patent number: 11925795
    Abstract: A catheter pump system is disclosed. The catheter pump system can include a shaft assembly and an impeller coupled with a distal portion of the shaft assembly. A motor assembly can impart rotation on the impeller through the shaft assembly, the motor assembly comprising a motor which rotates the shaft assembly. The catheter pump system can include a fluid pathway which conveys fluid proximally during operation of the catheter pump system. A seal can be disposed between the motor assembly and the impeller. The seal can be configured to impede or prevent the fluid from the fluid pathway from entering the motor assembly at least about an outer periphery of the shaft assembly. The seal can comprise an opening through which a portion of the shaft assembly extends.

  • Patent number: 11918800
    Abstract: A catheter pump system is disclosed. The catheter pump system can include a shaft assembly and an impeller coupled with a distal portion of the shaft assembly. The catheter pump system can include a motor assembly, the motor assembly comprising a chamber and a shaft-driving portion disposed in the chamber. The shaft-driving portion can be configured to impart rotation to the impeller through the shaft assembly. The chamber can be filled with a gas that at least partially surrounds the shaft-driving portion. A fluid pathway can convey fluid proximally during operation of the catheter pump system. A bypass pathway can be in fluid communication with the fluid pathway, the bypass pathway configured to direct at least a portion of the fluid to bypass the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20090292806
    Abstract: A management system for remote services may use an administrative server within a local area network to manage the remote services for many manageable entities. The administrative server may connect to a clearinghouse server outside the local area network to obtain information about available remote services and to consolidate some operations for interfacing to the remote services. In some embodiments, the clearinghouse server may act as a proxy for many different remote services and may enable some functions to be aggregated across different remote services, such as billing, authentication, provisioning, and other functions. The administrative server may configure the managed entities to access the remote services as well as other functions.

  • Patent number: 7320068
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods to generate accounts on a client when joining the client to a domain while preserving user profiles that were generated prior to joining the client. In general, a user with an account on a client can customize the account, wherein the customization can be saved in an associated profile. The client can employ the user profile when the user logs on in order to return the customization to the user. The present invention provides a novel approach to retain a user's existing user profile when joining the client via mapping the user's existing account to the account that will be generated, and then automatically migrating the user's profile to the generated account during joining the client. The foregoing can provide reduced client setup time, improved setup efficiency, reduced setup cost, and mitigation of severing customization from a user's account.

  • Patent number: 7185334
    Abstract: A software tool and method are provided for performing a setup operation in a computer system. The software tool comprises a setup component adapted to sense an attribute associated with the computer system and to selectively provide one of standard prompting and special prompting to a user according to the attribute, and a user interface component adapted to render a plurality of setup prompts to a user and to obtain at least one setup parameter. The invention advantageously provides for customized user prompting according to the system attribute whereby one or more prompt screens may be suppressed and default setup parameters used where the attribute indicates that the prompt screens are unnecessary. Moreover, one or more additional prompt screens may be rendered to the user according to the attribute.
