US Patent:

48322997, May 23, 1989

Filed:

Dec 4, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/128744

Inventors:

Lanny A. Gorton - Sunland CA
Gerald W. Schmidt - Ventura CA

Assignee:

Pacesetter Infusion, Ltd. - Sylmar CA

International Classification:

E04G 308

US Classification:

2482317

Abstract:

An improved clamp fixture is provided for supporting a medical instrument or the like in a selected orientation relative to a variety of different support structures, such as an upright pole, a tabletop edge, a bed rail, etc. The clamp fixture comprises an open-sided base bracket for receiving the selected support structure to extend through the base bracket along a first axis. A clamp screw is carried by the base bracket and is adjustable to securely retain the support structure against an inner support surface of the base bracket. A frame member is mounted on the base bracket for rotation generally about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, with a spring-loaded lock pin releasably securing the frame member in one of several preset rotational positions. At least one frame arm extends outwardly from the frame member for connection to the medical instrument or the like in a manner permitting rotation of the medical instrument about a third axis perpendicular to the first and second axes. A detent lock mechanism cooperates between the instrument and the frame arm to releasably lock the instrument in a selected position of rotational adjustment.

International Classification:

A61M 500

US Classification:

128215

Abstract:

A hypodermic syringe with a snap fitted handle grip retained on the syringe by a cam lug. A spring biased plunger of the syringe is attached to a metering rod extending longitudinally along side the plunger and through a guide passage in the handle grip. This metering rod has a circumferentially gripping spring stop that is manually slidable along the metering rod to set a particular dosage for the pumping syringe. A dispensing end of the syringe is connected to a double check valve system which is in turn connected to a reservoir container. This syringe pumping system is useful in hospital pharmacies for filling a series of smaller syringes or vials with metered dosages of diluent of medicament from a larger bulk reservoir container. It is also useful for hospital procedures, such as a thoracentesis, or other industrial or laboratory uses.

International Classification:

G06F 3/06
G11C 15/04
H03K 19/17728
H04L 45/745

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention relate to multiple parallel lookups using a pool of shared memories by proper configuration of interconnection networks. The number of shared memories reserved for each lookup is reconfigurable based on the memory capacity needed by that lookup. The shared memories are grouped into homogeneous tiles. Each lookup is allocated a set of tiles based on the memory capacity needed by that lookup. The tiles allocated for each lookup do not overlap with other lookups such that all lookups can be performed in parallel without collision. Each lookup is reconfigurable to be either hash-based or direct-access. The interconnection networks are programed based on how the tiles are allocated for each lookup.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 12/935

Abstract:

Embodiments of the apparatus for modifying packet headers relate to a use of bit vectors to allow expansion and collapse of protocol headers within packets for enabling flexible modification. A rewrite engine expands each protocol header into a generic format and applies various commands to modify the generalized protocol header. The rewrite engine maintains a bit vector for the generalized protocol header with each bit in the bit vector representing a byte of the generalized protocol header. A bit marked as 0 in the bit vector corresponds to an invalid byte, while a bit marked as 1 in the bit vector corresponds to a valid byte. The rewrite engine uses the bit vector to remove all the invalid bytes after all commands have been operated on the generalized protocol header to thereby form a new protocol header.

International Classification:

H03K 21/02
H04L 12/863
H04L 12/861

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an architecture that uses hierarchical statistically multiplexed counters to extend counter life by orders of magnitude. Each level includes statistically multiplexed counters. The statistically multiplexed counters includes P base counters and S subcounters, wherein the S subcounters are dynamically concatenated with the P base counters. When a row overflow in a level occurs, counters in a next level above are used to extend counter life. The hierarchical statistically multiplexed counters can be used with an overflow FIFO to further extend counter life.
