20120157920 | Distributed processor configuration for use in infusion pumps - The present invention provides an infusion pump control system comprises a plurality of computing components positioned on discrete hardware modules to complete an infusion task. Those discrete processors, which are internally redundant and communicate through a common medium that provides for redundancy of the communication ability to react to internal failures in a known manner, implement capabilities specific to infusion pump functions, to complete an infusion task. Also, this invention provides automatically switchable redundant power supplies and a new mechanism for firmware provisioning using multi-dropped JTAG for a plurality of computing components. | 06-21-2012 |
20120299838 | User Touch Screen Interface Device - The present invention provides an apparatus, a method, and a system with which a user can easily and precisely select unlimited displaying data and enter text information on a touch screen with a small dimension. The user touch screen interface device comprises a first member, a selection member, an actuation member, and a detent mechanism. Means to response to selection and actuation of stored application data are also disclosed. | 11-29-2012 |
20130045115 | TWO-STAGE LINEAR PERISTALTIC PUMP MECHANISM - This invention discloses a peristaltic pump composed of a two-stage linear peristaltic pump mechanism, which engages in different functions, charging and pumping a fluid to a patient. This peristaltic pump is capable of restoring the crushed tubing, caused by repeated compression or crushing of the tubing by peristaltic fingers, to its original circular cross sectional area so that it can provide a precise flow rate. The two-stage linear peristaltic pump mechanism substantially improves the consistency of a flow rate over time and extends the usefulness of peristaltic pumps to applications where they could not otherwise be used. | 02-21-2013 |
