B65D 81/00

US Classification:

604503, 604 65, 604 66, 600584

Abstract:

A method and system for operating a semi-closed loop and/or a closed loop resuscitation of a burn patient in view of patient information and other physiological data gathered as part of the method and/or by the system. The method in at least one embodiment includes receiving patient information, calculating an infusion rate based at least on part on a portion of the received patient information, outputting the infusion rate to an infusion pump, obtaining a urinary output, calculating a new infusion rate using infusion rate model based constants, and outputting the new infusion rate to an infusion pump. In some embodiments, the method includes notifying medical staff when problems arise, displaying information regarding the resuscitation, and setting limits regarding the infusion rates.

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600513000

Abstract:

An approach for improving the chances of survival of an individual who has received a trauma including, for example, hemorrhage or blunt injury, by providing more relevant information regarding the individual to first responders including at least one of heart rate variability index value, a baroreflex sensitivity value, and a pulse pressure. This information being used in at least one implementation to provide medical treatment to injured individuals including dispatching assistance and/or prioritizing in a triage situation increasing the speed at which these decisions can be made. In one exemplary embodiment, the heart rate variability index value is determined based on the relative power of the high frequencies versus the relative power of the low frequencies. In one exemplary embodiment, the pulse pressure is determined based on the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.

International Classification:

B65G 5724

US Classification:

414802

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for stacking newspapers is disclosed which obviates the need to fasten individual stacks. Once ejected from a stacking device, stacks of newspapers pass through an assembly station where they are arranged into groups of three, called slugs, and compressed. The slug then enters a collector where a layer consisting of four slugs is positioned on a sliding table. This positioning requires lateral movement of slugs. Lateral support is provided throughout this movement to prevent the stacks from toppling over. Once a full layer has been accumulated, the sliding table is retracted, and the layer of newspapers falls onto a floating table below. This floating table, which serves as the bottom floor of the container in which it is housed, is automatically lowered by discrete amounts as layers are received. Extendible cylinders located below the collector vertically move the floating table. Since the four walls of the container provide the requisite lateral support, layers of unfastened stacks are able to be securely deposited on the floating table.
