Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided with a personal computer platform which processes digital echo signals and produces ultrasonic image signals for display. The expansion bus structure of the personal computer platform accommodates ancillary processors such as beamformer cards, digital signal processing cards, video cards, and network cards which may be necessary or desirable for the ultrasound system. In a preferred embodiment the digital signal samples produced by a beamformer connected to the expansion bus are processed for display by software executed by the CPU of the personal computer platform. A preferred software architecture for the personal computer based ultrasound system consists of multiple object oriented software tasks, executing under a realtime, multitasking operating system which is both efficient and robust. Performance upgrades of the entire ultrasound system are effected by simple replacement of the CPU with a higher performance CPU, thus providing continual ultrasound system performance improvements in consonance with the evolution of personal computer CPU technology.

Abstract: An electro-optic voltage sensor for achieving voltage measurement without significant error contributions from neighboring conductors or environmental  perturbations. The voltage sensor includes a transmitter (1), a sensor (4), a detector (43, 44) and a processor (62). The transmitter (1) produces a beam of electromagnetic radiation which is routed into a sensor (4). Within the sens or (4), the beam undergoes the Pockels electro-optic effect. The electro-optic effect produces a modulation of the beam's polarization, which is in turn converted to a pair of independent conversely-amplitude-modulated signals, from which the voltage of the E field is determined by the processor (62). T he use of converse AM signals enables the signal processor (62) to better distinguish signal from noises. The sensor (4) converts the beam by splittin g the beam in accordance with the axes of the beam's polarization state (an ellipse whose ellipticity varies between -1 and +1 in proportion to voltage)  into at least two AM signals. These AM signals are fed into a signal process or (62) and processed to determine the voltage between ground conductor and the  conductor (2) on which voltage is being measured.

Abstract: The present invention is an outlet connector (12) configuration for an oxygenator (2)that prevents excessively high positive or negative pressure from forming in the oxygenator (2) and helps to minimize the possibility of misidentifying the outlet connector (12). The outlet connector (12) is hollow and substantially cylindrically tubular in shape so that a hollow inner conduit (22) is formed. The outlet connector (12) is in fluid communication with the outlet manifold (10) of an oxygenator (2) through the inner conduit (22). In one embodiment, the outlet connector (12) has an elongated hole (28) extending through the tubular material of the outlet connector (12) into the hollow inner conduit (22) formed therein. The elongated hole (28) is preferably large enough to be felt by the fingers of the person connecting tubing to the outlet connector (12).  The elongated hole (28)is preferably arrow shaped with the arrow pointing in the direction of fluid flow out of the outlet manifold (10). In an alternate embodiment, the outlet connector (12) has a channel (36) formed in outer surface (16) of the outlet connector (12). The channel (36) extends from the distal end (40) of outlet connector (12) opposite the point of connection of the outlet connector (12) to the oxygenator (2) towards the oxygenator (2). The channel  (36) does not extend entirely through the tubular material making up the wall of the outlet connector (12) but instead extends into the  wall material from the exterior surface (16) only a fraction of the thickness of the wall material.
