Publication number: 20230211073Abstract: A system and method for securing a pump are disclosed. The system includes a pump that contains a medicament delivery system, a processor operably coupled to the pump, a user interface in operable communication with the processor, a plurality of sensors in operable communication with the processor, and a housing. The housing includes a frame, a door, and a locking mechanism that can be selectively unlocked to allow the door to partially detach from the frame. The security system includes a swivel door assembly, which includes physical redundancies to selectively prevent access to the internal space of the swivel door assembly and a plurality of alarms. For example, in response to receiving an input from the plurality of sensors, the processor initiates at least one of the plurality of alarms to provide an indication to a user that an event has occurred.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Rajesh Swarnkar, Gupta Ankur, Soruban Manickalinga Thandapani, David Fahmy Gorgi, Marinoi Angela, Saman Rais Alam Khan, Prasad Deepak Digaskar, Paul Vincent O'Brien, Patil Sanskriti

Patent number: 9762258Abstract: The invention to mismatch and ISI shaping in a data converter. The invention provides a dynamic element matching technique that incorporates both mismatch and inter symbol interference shaping. A digital decoder is provided that controls the number of ‘on’ and ‘off’ transitions so that the resulting signal does not contain noise or distortion. The element selection technique of the invention is suitable for high resolution multi-bit continuous time oversampling data converters.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICKInventors: Vincent O'Brien, Brendan Mullane, Tony Scanlan

Patent number: 8386209Abstract: A test system (1) comprises a system-on-chip with a memory (7) for storing sample data; and a dynamic test engine (4) to control input of dynamic test waveforms including sinusoidal waveforms to an ADC under test (15) and to determine device under test dynamic parameters by analysing the samples. A linear test engine (5) determines device under test (15) static parameters, and controls input of ramp input waveforms to the ADC. A test controller (2) performs finite sate machine control of testing including applying test waveforms, dumping samples to the memory (7), and retrieving static and dynamic results. A DAC (3) generates controlled waveform generation under instructions from the test engines, and an interface (10) communicates with an external host. The components are linked with a bus (11) and are modular.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: University of LimerickInventors: Brendan Mullane, Thomas Fleischmann, Vincent O'Brien
