Title: Microprocessor based bed patient monitor
Inventor: HOLMES FRED H
IPC: G08B21/02
Filed: 1999-02-25
Abstract: This invention relates generally to monitoring systems and more particularly concerns devices and systems used to monitor patients lying in hospital beds or in other care giving environments. According to a first aspect of the instant invention, a microprocessor based patient monitor is disclosed which includes a loudspeaker driven by a power amplifier responsive to an input signal derived from a programmable volume control. The microprocessor synthesizes any one of multiple alarm sounds under software control, operates the programmable volume control of the alarm system and activates and deactivates the alarm in response to the electronic signals received from the sensor and a user interface. An electrically erasable programmable read-only memory accessible by the processor stores data which can be modified to tailor the operations of the monitor to suit a variety of different needs. According to still another aspect of the instant invention, a microprocessor-based patient monitor is disclosed which has a personality that is defined by software that is resident in modifiable nonvolatile memory, which software can thus be altered to change the programmed responses of the monitor. Finally, a software and hardware system is provided for reading information from and writing information to modifiable nonvolatile RAM within a microprocessor-based patient monitor. This information might be parameter settings, data values, or computer instructions.

Abstract: A first image processing system, a second image processing system, a first storage system and a second storage system communicate over a high bandwidth switch. The switch connects the first processing system to the first storage system and also connects the second processing system to the second storage system. At the first image processing system, first location data is read to identify the location of frames on the first frame storage system. Similarly, at the second image processing system second location data is read to identify the location frames on the second frame storage system. In response to control commands issued to the switch, the first image processing system is disconnected from the first storage system and reconnected to the second storage system. Similarly, the second processing system is disconnected from the second storage system and reconnected to the first storage system. In response to the reconnection operations, the second location data is read at the first image processing system and the first location data is read at the second processing system. In this way, immediate and automatic access to the reconnected storage systems is achieved.
