International Classification:
A61B 8/00
US Classification:
600438, 600407, 600437, 600439, 600443
Abstract:
An ultrasound scanner is equipped with one or more fuzzy control units that can perform adaptive system parameter optimization anywhere in the system. In one embodiment, an ultrasound system comprises a plurality of ultrasound image generating subsystems configured to generate an ultrasound image, the plurality of ultrasound image generating subsystems including a transmitter subsystem, a receiver subsystem, and an image processing subsystem; and a fuzzy logic controller communicatively coupled with at least one of the plurality of ultrasound imaging generating subsystems. The fuzzy logic controller is configured to receive, from at least one of the plurality of ultrasound imaging generating subsystems, input data including at least one of pixel image data and data for generating pixel image data; to process the input data using a set of inference rules to produce fuzzy output; and to convert the fuzzy output into numerical values or system states for controlling at least one of the transmit subsystem and the receiver subsystem that generate the pixel image data.

US Patent:
8454557, Jun 4, 2013
Filed:
Jul 19, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/553027
Inventors:
Wenkang Qi - Cupertino CA, US
Tracy Brewer - Hayward CA, US
Hans Crommenacker - Cupertino CA, US
Assignee:
Asante Solutions, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61M 5/172
US Classification:
604 67, 604151
Abstract:
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to detect when at least one component of the pump system is exposed to an impact above a threshold level. In particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be equipped with an impact detection system that can sense when an impact above the threshold level has occurred to the pump device, which thereby enables the infusion pump system to initiate appropriate patient safety countermeasures.

Mar 16, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/049588
Inventors:
Mark C. Estes - Malibu CA, US
Wenkang Qi - Cupertino CA, US
Phillip Hopper - San Carlos CA, US
Assignee:
Asante Solutions, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61K 9/22
US Classification:
6048901, 604 65, 604 66, 604 67, 604189
Abstract:
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can include a controller in which one or more features sets to be provided by the controller are enabled or disabled based upon the particular pump device that is connected to the controller. For example, in some embodiments, one or more advanced features of the controller are available to the user only when a first type of pump device (e. g. , having predefined settings stored therein) is connected to the controller, and those advanced features of the controller are disabled when a second type of pump device is connected to the controller.
