  • Publication number: 20180064411
    Abstract: Minimally invasive systems and methods are described for measuring pulmonary circulation information from the pulmonary arteries. A transbronchial Doppler ultrasound catheter is advanced through the airways and in the vicinity of the pulmonary artery. Doppler ultrasound energy is sent through the airway wall and across the pulmonary artery to obtain velocity information of blood flowing through the artery. The velocity information is used to compute pulmonary circulation information including but not limited to flowrate.

  • Publication number: 20150127579
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for an integrated process modeler is described. The modeler comprises a non-technical interface to permit design of a business process by a non-technical use and a technical interface to implement substeps of the process to automate technical aspects of the process by a technical user, using the same process modeler. The resulting process designed to be used by non-technical employees, to automatically lead the non-technical employees through the business process.

  • Patent number: 8186548
    Abstract: A shoe-cover dispenser is described, including, for example, features that facilitate the simultaneous loading of multiple shoe covers and/or features that prevent incomplete release of shoe covers. The shoe-cover dispenser can include a shell and a removable shoe-cover cartridge sized to fit within the shell. The removable shoe-cover cartridge can be configured to releasably hold a plurality of shoe covers, such as by releasably holding three or more clips attached to an elastic element of each shoe cover. These clips can be preloaded into the removable shoe-cover cartridge prior to delivery to an end-user. Release of a shoe cover can be initiated by downward movement of a foot pad. To prevent tilting of the foot pad, the shell can include a guide plate substantially abutting a substantially vertical side of the foot pad and/or an alignment rod positioned within a substantially vertical hole in the foot pad.

  • Publication number: 20110269850
    Abstract: The field of the invention generally relates to a shellac-based enteric coating with a reliable and consistent dissolution profile in both acid and neutral environments based on the selective choice of coating excipients used with the shellac. The enteric coating formulation includes a shellac, a maltrin, sodium alginate, one or more plasticizers, and optionally talc. The shellac is present in a range of approximately 40% to 60% w/w % and has an acid number of between 71 and 73. The maltrin is present in a range of approximately 15% to 30% w/w %. The sodium alginate is present in a range of approximately 15% to 30% w/w %. The one or more plasticizers are present in a range of approximately 2% to 20% w/w %. The optional talc is present in a range of 0% to 10%.
