20140363229 | VEHICLE BARRIER SYSTEM WITH ILLUMINATING GATE ARM AND METHOD - The present invention is directed to a vehicle barrier system and method of use. The vehicle barrier system includes a control system adapted to pivot a gate arm between a horizontal position and a vertical position to control the flow of vehicle or pedestrian traffic in control access areas such as parking lots, or parking garages. The gate arm includes inset channels that are disposed along the longitudinal axis of the gate arm and configured to each remove ably receive an array of light emitting diodes to increase visibility and alert drivers or pedestrians to the presence of a gate arm. | 12-11-2014 |

20090143726 | MEANS FOR USING SINGLE FORCE SENSOR TO SUPPLY ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR DETERMINATION OF STATUS OF MEDICAL PUMP - A medical pump, for use with a cassette having a pumping chamber, includes a pumping element with a piston slider assembly which intermittently pressurizes the pumping chamber during a pumping cycle and has a piston head connected to a main body with a single pressure sensor positioned there between. A camshaft is associated with the pumping element, an inlet control element, and an outlet control element for closing the pumping chamber to flow when the pumping chamber is pressurized. A processing unit receives pressure and position data from the pressure sensor and a position sensor associated with the pumping element, and processes this data to determine the operating condition of the pump. The operating conditions determined include: blocked fluid flow, no fluid in the line, no cassette associated with the pump, proper pump priming, or proper valve sealing. | 06-04-2009 |

20090144025 | METHOD FOR DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN OPERATING CONDITIONS IN MEDICAL PUMP - A method is disclosed for determining the operating condition of a medical pump based on data derived from a pressure sensor and a position sensor. The pressure sensor generates pressure data by sensing the force on the pumping element. The position sensor generates position data by tracking the pumping cycle and determining the position of the pumping element. The pump pressure data and pump position data are processed and the calculated results compared with a pre-determined threshold value to determine the operating condition of the pump. The three main types of operating conditions of concern are the following: normal condition, where liquid is present and no leaks exist in pumping chamber; leak condition, where liquid is present but a leak exists in the pumping chamber; and air stroke condition, where the chamber contains some air. | 06-04-2009 |

20110286533 | INTEGRATED RECORDING AND VIDEO ON DEMAND PLAYBACK SYSTEM - An apparatus including an encoder and an editor is provided. The encoder is configured to receive an instruction datum, receive a content datum, receive a return processing signal that includes at least one of a wait signal, and an upload signal, synchronize the content datum, encode the content datum according to the instruction datum, and store the encoded datum. The editor is configured to control a one or more input devices, communicate to a remote device through a communication network, communicate a notice of available upload to the remote device upon completion of encoding, rebroadcast the notice of available upload at a predetermined cycle upon the encoder receiving the return processing signal of the wait signal, and upload the encoded datum upon the encoder receiving the return processing signal of the upload signal. | 11-24-2011 |

20090030821 | DIVERSE BILLING RECTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method for increasing claim recovery efficiency wherein an input engine receives claim data and is operatively coupled to both a clearinghouse system and an accounts receivable management system, which systems cooperatively identify errors in the claim record and prevent erred claim records from progressing to a payor. The clearinghouse system provides supplementation of the claim data for each claim record with additional data useful in electronic invoicing, assembly of claims for electronic invoicing, and submittal of claims for payment electronically. The clearinghouse is interactively coupled with the accounts receivable management system, which establishes and maintains an activity record for recovery efforts of each claim record, records process progression of each claim, coordinates error correction action, and assembles final disposition of each claim | 01-29-2009 |
