Publication number: 20160260035Abstract: Pharmacy workflow management with alert integration. A pharmacy workflow management application may obtain alert data from an alert generation platform. In turn, the alert information may be provided to a user of the workflow management application within the application without having to divert from use of the application. The user may further utilize the pharmacy workflow application to access the alert generation platform. In this regard, the user of the pharmacy workflow management application may be in bidirectional communication with the alert generation platform to, for example, exchange resolution information in relation to an alert. The alert data may comprise any pertinent data related to pharmacy activity managed by the pharmacy workflow management application and in particular may include data related to infection control or antimicrobial stewardship.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Inventors: Matthew Crooks, Robert Hammond, Paul Randall, Jon Haynes

Patent number: 9312801Abstract: A brushless electrical machine has at least one phase winding which produces torque to drive a load. The control system for the machine is able to vary the flux and current supplied to a phase so as to vary the torque output as a function of the rotor position. The energization is reduced at particular angles to produce a dip in the torque profile, thus ensuring that, if the drive stalls, it does so at a predetermined position, for example where the losses in the drive are minimized.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: NIDEC SR DRIVES, LTDInventors: Steven Paul Randall, Mark John Cherney

Patent number: 7906931Abstract: The windings of a switched reluctance machine are supplied from a converter which is capable of providing bipolar energization. The energization pattern supplied to the windings is dependent on the number of stator and rotor poles in the machine and is selected to produce unipolar energization in the rotor poles. This in turn reduces the losses in the rotor which would otherwise result from bipolar energization. The machine may also be operated to provide energization patterns which are adapted to provide optimum performance in different parts of its operating speed range.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2007Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Switched Reluctance Drives LimitedInventor: Steven Paul Randall

Patent number: 7804269Abstract: A switched reluctance machine has salient poles on the stator and rotor. The windings of the machine are supplied from a converter which provides energization at a chosen rate. The windings of the machine may be energized at the rate at which the rotor poles pass the stator poles, or it may be operated at a fraction of that rate by energizing the windings to cooperate with every second, third or fourth rotor pole. This can extend the output of the machine.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2008Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Switched Reluctance Drives LimitedInventor: Steven Paul Randall
