A flow sensor system for ventilation treatment comprises a flow conduit configured to allow gas flow between a first region and a second region, the flow conduit defining a lumen for the gas flow; a flow restrictor disposed within the lumen of the flow conduit between the first region and the second region; a first absolute pressure sensor disposed adjacent to the first region of the flow conduit and configured to measure a pressure of the gas flow at the first region of the flow conduit; and a second absolute pressure sensor disposed adjacent to the second region of the flow conduit and configured to measure pressure of the gas flow at the second region of the flow conduit.

Flow sensor for ventilation

A system and method for aiding in the proper placement of ECG electrodes and other resuscitation parameters. The system includes motion sensors disposed on the ECG electrodes, and a defibrillator control system operable to interpret motion signals from the motions sensors to determine that an electrode is in motion, and thus being handled by rescuer setting up the system for use, and, based on this determination, prompt the rescuer to place the electrode in its intended location on the body of the patient. The control system may also be operable to determine relative motion and/orientation of the motion sensors and control resuscitation based on the relative motion and/orientation of the motion sensors.

ECG and defibrillator electrode detection and tracking system and method

A system and method for adjusting power employed by a light emitting device used for medical applications, such as measurement of patient parameter. A system or device includes a light emitting device, a power unit coupled to the light emitting device for powering the light emitting device and responsive to a control signal for adjusting power applied to the light emitting device, and a control unit for providing the control signal and coupled to the power unit, the control signal being determined in response to a characteristic of a signal associated with a physiological parameter measured using light produced by the light emitting device.

A spray can system, in certain embodiments, including a spray can with a hollow body with contents therein and gas under pressure for expelling the contents therefrom, and nozzle apparatus connected to the spray can and having a nozzle with a fluid flow channel therethrough with an exit port for the passage of the contents out from the spray can, a cap releasably emplaced on the hollow body for covering the nozzle apparatus, and a tube holder comprising a tube holder for holding a spray tube insertable into the nozzle, and the tube holder formed of the cap and separable therefrom or formed of a secondary member releasably connected to the cap or to the can, e.g. to a bottom portion or end thereof; and, in certain aspects, the tube holder further including a ring for encircling part of the spray can for mounting the tube holder to the spray can, an optional interconnection member having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to or formed integrally with the ring, and a holding member for holding the hollow spray tube and connected to or formed integrally with the second end of the interconnection member.

Spray can system and tube holder

A spray can system including a spray can with a hollow body with contents therein and gas under pressure for expelling the contents therefrom, and nozzle apparatus connected to the spray can and having a nozzle with a fluid flow channel therethrough with an exit port for the passage of the contents out from the spray can, a cap releasably emplaced on the hollow body for covering the nozzle apparatus, a tube holder comprising a tube holder for holding a spray tube insertable into the nozzle, the tube holder formed of the cap and separable therefrom, the tube holder having a ring, the tube holder connected to the cap by a plurality of connection members between the cap and the ring, the connection members severable so that at least a remaining part thereof remains connected to the ring and the part projects inwardly of the ring.

Tube holder system and spray can therewith

A tube holder has been invented for holding straw or a hollow spray tube, the tube holder having a first ring, an interconnection member having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to or formed integrally with the first ring, a holding ring connected to or formed integrally with the second end of the interconnection member, the holding ring made of stretchable material for releasably holding a hollow spray tube, and at least one tab projecting from the first ring and connected thereto or formed integrally thereof. A method has been invented for releasably holding with such a tube holder a spray tube of a spray can system.

Spray tube holder

A tube holder has been invented for holding a spray tube for use with a nozzle of a spray can, the tube holder, in one aspect, having a ring stretchable or non-stretchable for encircling part of the spray can (e.g. body, nozzle, or nozzle projection) for mounting the tube holder to the spray can, an interconnection member having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to or formed integrally with the ring, and a holding member connected to or formed integrally with the second end of the interconnection member. In one embodiment the holding member is a ring (stretchable or non-stretchable) and in another embodiment the holding member is a body with at least one slit opening therethrough, the spray tube insertable through and removably holdable in the at least one slit opening. The present invention discloses a spray can with any such tube holder and with a hollow spray tube.

Holder for spray tube

A data compression method and apparatus for processing a stream of original data samples to produce a compressed data stream that comprises both compressed and not-compressed data samples. The technique includes a data compression means for applying a data compression technique to said original data samples so as to develop a sequence of compressed original samples and not-compressed original samples, and providing the sequence of samples in a data portion of a transmission packet. A compression indicator means is also provided for developing a sequence of bits indicating which of the samples in the compressed data stream are representative of one of the compressed original samples and not-compressed original samples, and providing the sequence of bits in a map portion of the transmission packet. The map portion of the transmission packet is used for rapid identification and decompression of the compressed data. In accordance with a further aspect of the invention, the map portion is also used as an indicator of a characteristic of the original data.

Lossless data compression technique that also facilitates signal analysis

In a patient monitoring system which includes a signal transmission path between that portion of the patient monitoring system which acquires the physiological signals and that portion of the system which processes and displays the acquired signals, a method and apparatus is provided for displaying to a user of the system a time delay that is associated with a delay of the display of the physiological signals.

Physiological waveform delay indicator/controller

A post mix fruit juice dispenser having a refrigerated cabinet at the top which houses separate containers for different juice concentrates. The machine mixes potable water with the concentrate on demand. The potable water is cooled in an ice bath at the rear of the cabinet, and the same refrigeration system which cools the ice bath provides a source for cooling air circulated in the cabinet about the concentrate containers. The concentrate containers and their discharge assemblies may be removed from the machine for cleaning, but the containers may be replenished through filling assemblies at the top of the cabinet without removing them.
