Patent number: 8214231Abstract: A system and method for uniquely identifying data streams associated with medical equipment are described. The system may be implemented in a variety of ways, including as a combination of a medical device, a data stream identifier, and a medical device identifier. The medical device generates a plurality of data streams. The data streams are uninterrupted transmissions of data from the medical device. The data streams include information regarding the operation of the medical device. The data stream identifier attaches a unique data tag to the data streams. The medical device identifier is configured to generate a medical device tag. The 10 medical device tag includes information to uniquely identify the medical device and is accessible from an external computer. The data stream identifier and the medical device identifier are secured to the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2010Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Baxter International, Inc.Inventors: James P. Martucci, William R. Richardson

Publication number: 20030222548Abstract: A device is provided for controlling access to medical items. At least one ratcheting drawer is provided having a plurality of bins adapted to hold the medical items and disposed to become exposed sequentially as the drawer is opened. A latching mechanism engages the ratcheting drawer to prevent the drawer from opening. A sensor detects the position of the drawer relative to the bins and, when access to the contents of a particular bin is authorized, the latching mechanism disengages until the specific bin is exposed, as determined by the sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2002Publication date: December 4, 2003Inventors: William R. Richardson, Yan Lvovitch, Stanley I. Schwartz

Publication number: 20030201697Abstract: A storage device (100′) is provided for controlling access to medical items. The storage device (100′) has a drawer (104′) with a plurality of rows (115′), and a cover (200′) over each row (115′) of the drawer (104′) to secure the medical items in the bins (116′) located in the individual rows (115′) of the drawer (104′). The storage device (104′) has an unlocking member (208′) that is moveable between a first position and a second position to engage a specific cover (200′) of the drawer (104′) and thereby allow one of the covers (200′) to be opened when the drawer (104′) is opened. A sensor (130′) detects the position of the drawer (104′) and, when access to the contents of a particular bin (116′) is authorized, a control mechanism (117′) disengages until the specific bin (116′) is exposed, as determined by the sensor (130′).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2003Publication date: October 30, 2003Inventor: William R.

Patent number: 6170045Abstract: Data is written to and read from a shared pipe by applications of multiple systems. At least one shared pipe is located within an external shared memory coupled to one or more central processing complexes. Each of the central processing complexes has one or more operating system images, which controls execution of one or more piping applications. At least one piping application corresponding to at least one operating system image writes data to a shared pipe located in the external shared memory and at least one other application corresponding to one or more other operating system images reads data from the same shared pipe, thereby providing cross-system data piping.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1997Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Roman A. Bobak, Scott Brady Compton, Jon K. Johnson, Alan F. Martens, Max M. Maurer, David Lee Meck, William R. Richardson, Michael Allen Wright

Patent number: 3942477Abstract: A horse is trained by being placed in a stall and covered completely with a loose granular material such as sand. Visual and sound images may be transmitted to the animal while the stall is being filled with the animal covering material. Side walls of the stall are formed by double panels, the innermost of which move relative to a floor of the stall to permit sand to pass into the stall. A pair of perforated plates form the stall floor, one of the plates being arranged for movement to align and misalign the perforations in the plates and retain sand in or pass it from the stall.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1973Date of Patent: March 9, 1976Assignee: Valley National BankInventor: William R.
