Filed:

Aug 1, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/211115

Inventors:

Gregory I. Voss - Solana Beach CA, US
Gregory J. Martin - Carlsbad CA, US
Manouchehr Goharlaee - Encinitas CA, US

Assignee:

Tensys Medical, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61B005/02

US Classification:

600485, 600500

Abstract:

Improved methods and apparatus for non-invasively assessing one or more parameters associated with fluidic systems such as the circulatory system of a living organism. In a first aspect, an improved method of continuously measuring pressure from a compressible vessel is disclosed, wherein a substantially optimal level of compression for the vessel is achieved and maintained using perturbations (e. g. , modulation) of the compression level of the vessel. In one exemplary embodiment, the modulation is conducted according to a pseudo-random binary sequence (PBRS). In a second aspect, an improved apparatus for determining the blood pressure of a living subject is disclosed, the apparatus generally comprising a pressure sensor and associated processor with a computer program defining a plurality of operating states related to the sensed pressure data. Methods for pressure waveform correction and reacquisition, as well as treatment using the present invention, are also disclosed.

International Classification:

A61B 5/02

US Classification:

600485, 600490, 600500

Abstract:

Improved methods and apparatus for non-invasively assessing one or more parameters associated with fluidic systems such as the circulatory system of a living organism, when such parameters are potentially affected by other concurrent events. In one exemplary embodiment, apparatus and methods for compensating for occlusive events (e. g. , pressure cuff inflation) occurring ipsilateral to the location of parameter measurement are disclosed. Upon passive detection of signal degradation resulting from the event, the apparatus selectively enters a “wait state” wherein further processing of the hemodynamic data is suspended until the degrading event subsides. This behavior mitigates any adverse effects the event might have on the accuracy of the representation of the measured hemodynamic parameter generated by the system. In another exemplary embodiment, the measured data is analyzed in order to classify the type of event (e. g. , occlusive or other), such classification allowing the system to appropriately tailor its response to the event.

Appl. No.:

11/327790

Inventors:

Gregory M. Martin - Centreville VA, US
James M. Brown - Flemington NJ, US

Assignee:

ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ

International Classification:

C40B 30/02

US Classification:

702 22, 702 25, 702 30, 25033912, 436 29, 703 2

Abstract:

The present invention is a method for modifying any synthetically generated assay of a whole crude oil or a portion of a whole crude, such as a condensate or resid material, by using measured crude properties. These measured properties are used to adjust the synthesized assay values to obtain a more accurate representation of the unknown hydrocarbon material.

International Classification:

C10G 7/00

US Classification:

208347, 702 30, 702 85

Abstract:

A method for the determination of optimal pipestill operation comprising the steps of: feeding a crude oil feedstream into the pipestill wherein the crude oil feedstream is separated into boiling range fractions, performing a virtual assay of the crude oil feedstream to determine predicted boiling range fraction yields, comparing the predicted boiling range fraction yields with the actual boiling range fraction yields from the pipestill to determine differences between these fraction yields, relating the difference between the fraction yields with the operation of the pipestill.
