  • Patent number: 8626342
    Abstract: The present invention comprises devices, systems, methods, and computer program products for managing data related to the dispensing of contrast media as part of a medical procedure. The device and system provide a controller that is capable of communicating with a dispensing device so as to extract, arrange, process, and present a data set (e.g., a usage data set) from the dispensing device to a user such that the user may selectively monitor statistics related to the administration of contrast media, saline, or other consumables used during one or more dispensing operations. The method and computer program product for managing data related to the dispensing of contrast media may further allow for extraction, arrangement, processing, and presentation of the data set via the controller, via a user interface that is operably engaged with the dispensing device and/or via a computer network that may be in communication with the dispensing device.

  • Publication number: 20130204808
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fault prediction are described to reduce equipment failure by effectively monitoring equipment, removing anomalous data, and reducing false alarms. Such systems and methods can be used to receive monitoring data, extract information from the data, and combine extracted information for establishing prediction models. Additionally, fault probabilities may be quantified and faults may be predicted based on the probabilities.

  • Publication number: 20130113936
    Abstract: To manage a plurality of parking spaces, one or more images are acquired, with each parking space appearing in at least one image. Periodically acquired images of occupancy and identity are used in directing a customer to a parked vehicle. Periodically acquired images of just occupancy are used in controlling respective environment aspects, such as illumination and ventilation, of the parking spaces. For these purposed, the images are classified automatically as “vacant” or “occupied”, and are displayed along with their classifications so that the classifications can be corrected manually.

  • Patent number: 8220504
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a syringe filling station that can fill a syringe with a specified volume of fluid. In one embodiment, the syringe filling station comprises a reservoir attachment, a fluid delivery system, a syringe retaining guide, and a pump to move fluid from a reservoir to a syringe. The fluid delivery system may comprise a sterile consumable cartridge that is insertable into the filling station and defines a fluid pathway from a reservoir to a syringe. The syringe filling station may also include a user interface. An operator can input commands into the user interface to specify the amount of fluid to dispense into the syringe. The user interface may be connected to a processor that controls the rate of pumping and thereby can fill a syringe with a desired amount of fluid. The filling station may also include sensors that detect air in the tubing, depletion of the reservoir, among other things.

  • Publication number: 20110023393
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a thermoplastic cornice member having a plurality of strands and a plurality of cells. The thermoplastic cornice member is extruded by an extruder that forms the shape of the thermoplastic cornice member. The thermoplastic cornice member is then cooled, providing the thermoplastic cornice member with a skin having a higher density than the interior of the thermoplastic cornice member. The strands and the skin give the thermoplastic cornice member a high strength and the skin also enables the thermoplastic cornice member to be painted or sprayed or brushed with adhesive. The adhesive enables the thermoplastic cornice member to be affixed to walls, ceilings, floors, or other panels.

  • Publication number: 20100121691
    Abstract: Generally, embodiments of the present invention provides for methods, systems and computer program products for utilizing non-compete advertisement tags in an advertisement serving system. The method according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises identifying one or more web pages that contain a first advertisement tag and selecting a given web page from the one or more web pages. A second inactive advertisement tag is then inserted into the web page, which requests an advertisement for the web page that is subsequently ignored. The method further comprises monitoring a number of impressions the web page receives using the second advertisement tag in order to determine a traffic forecast. The method further comprises setting the second advertisement tag to an active status, causing the first advertisement tag from the web page to be removed and an advertisement to be returned in response to the request by the second advertisement tag.
