摘要:
A thermometry apparatus includes a housing that receives a probe having at least one temperature responsive element within an isolation chamber that is preferably removable from the housing. A switch assembly determines the presence of the isolation chamber in the housing wherein the apparatus is enabled only if the isolation chamber is attached to the housing and a probe is removed from the attached isolation chamber.

A medical device, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring apparatus, provides galvanic isolation between low voltage electronics and a plurality of externally exposed ECG (patient contact) lead wires and electrodes. The ECG lead wires and/or electrodes can potentially make unwanted contact with sources of high voltage, such as from defibrillation pulses generated by defibrillation devices. The defibrillation pulses can cause damage to the low voltage electronics within the ECG monitoring apparatus. Electrical resistance is provided outside of the ECG lead wires and electrodes and separate from the low voltage electronics to protect against misdirection of a defibrillation pulse towards the low voltage electronics, and to protect against misdirection of a defibrillation pulse away from the patient for which the benefit of the defibrillation pulse is intended.
摘要:
A system and method for downloading information from a content server to a mobile device in communication with a wireless communication network. The mobile device is assigned a network address and registers with the content server by providing the network address as an identification information. The content server establishes a communication channel to the mobile device by opening a socket to the network address and downloads the information to the mobile device through the communication channel. If the content server cannot open a communication channel to the network address, the content server sends a message to the mobile device.
