Filed:

Jun 18, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/818582

Inventors:

Richard Mark Stern - Saratoga CA, US
James R. Curtis - Placerville CA, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 471, 714 41, 714 411, 714 412

Abstract:

A virtual machine is migrated from a source physical machine to a target physical machine, where the virtual machine has an executable service and a monitoring agent for monitoring the executable service. In response to the migrating, a monitoring manager is started that issues a command to start the executable service. It is determined whether the command is for the executable service that is already running in the migrated virtual machine. In response to such determining, the started monitoring manager is associated with the already running executable service, where the monitoring manager cooperates with the monitoring agent to detect fault of the executable service.

Appl. No.:

13/598176

Inventors:

James R. Curtis - Sunnyvale CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 1/16

US Classification:

210647, 210101, 210 90

Abstract:

A medical dialysis system including a filtration system configured to filter a water stream, a water purification system configured to purify the water stream in a non-batch process, a mixing system, and a dialyzer system. The mixing system includes a supply of dialysate components, a conductivity sensor positioned within a fluid pathway through which the water stream flows, and a control mechanism having a pump configured to control an amount of the one or more dialysate components added to the water stream from the supply. The mixing system can produce a stream of dialysate from mixing the one or more dialysate components with the water stream in a non-batch process. The dialyzer system includes a dialyzer, a plurality of pumps capable of pumping the stream of dialysate across the dialyzer, and another conductivity sensor positioned downstream of the dialyzer within a fluid pathway through which the water stream flows.

Cynthia Blair - Morgan Hill CA

International Classification:

A01L 2500

US Classification:

327566

Abstract:

An output-matched LDMOS RF power transistor device includes a semiconductor die having a plurality of interdigitated electrodes formed thereon, the electrodes each having respective input terminals and output terminals. An input lead is coupled to a first terminal of an input matching capacitor by a first plurality of conductors (e. g. , bond wires), with a second terminal of the matching capacitor coupled to a ground. The first terminal of the matching capacitor is also coupled to the electrode input terminals by a second plurality of conductors. A conductive island isolated from the ground is coupled to the electrode output terminals by a third plurality of conductors. Output matching of the device is provided by a shunt inductance formed by a fourth plurality of conductors, which couple a first terminal of an output blocking capacitor the conductive island, with a second terminal of the blocking capacitor coupled to the ground. An output lead is coupled to the conductive island by a fifth plurality of conductors. In particular, the conductive island is disposed adjacent the semiconductor die, and the output blocking capacitor is disposed between the conductive island and output lead, such that transmission inductance through the respective third and fourth pluralities of conductors coupling the electrode output terminals to the blocking capacitor is sufficiently small to allow for output impedance matching of the transistor device at relatively high operating frequencies.

Abstract:

Dialysis systems and methods are described which can include a number of features. The dialysis systems described can be to provide dialysis therapy to a patient in the comfort of their own home. The dialysis system can be configured to prepare purified water from a tap water source in real-time that is used for creating a dialysate solution. The dialysis systems described also include features that make it easy for a patient to self-administer therapy. For example, the dialysis systems include disposable cartridge and patient tubing sets that are easily installed on the dialysis system and automatically align the tubing set, sensors, venous drip chamber, and other features with the corresponding components on the dialysis system. Methods of use are also provided, including automated priming sequences, blood return sequences, and dynamic balancing methods for controlling a rate of fluid transfer during different types of dialysis, including hemodialysis, ultrafiltration, and hemodiafiltration.
