Abstract: An apparatus, comprising: a coupler adapted to couple to a drip chamber; a support member operatively coupled to the coupler; and an image sensor having a field of view and operatively coupled to the support member, wherein the image sensor is configured to view the drip chamber within the field of view; at least one processor operatively coupled to the image sensor to receive image data therefrom, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: capture a first image; create a first thresholded image from the first image by comparing each pixel of the first image to a threshold value; determine a set of pixels within the first thresholded image connected to a predetermined set of pixels within the first thresholded image; filter all remaining pixels of the first thresholded image that are not with the set of pixels, the filter operates on a pixel-by-pixel basis within the time domain to generate a first filtered image; remove pixels determined to not be part of a drop from the first thresholded image using the first filtered image to generate a second image; determine a second set of pixels within the second image connected to a predetermined set of pixels within the second image to generate a third image, the third image identifies the second set of pixels within the second image; determine a first length of the drop by counting the number of rows containing pixels corresponding to the second set of pixels within the third image, the first length corresponding to a first estimated drop size; update a background image using the first image; create a second thresholded image by comparing first image with background image; sum the rows of second thresholded to create a plurality of row sums, each row sum corresponds to a row of the second thresholded image; start at a row position of the second thresholded image having a first sum of the plurality of sums that corresponds to the first length; increment the row position until the row position corresponds to a corresponding row sum that is zero; determine a second length is equal to the present row position, the second length corresponding to a second estimated drop size; and average the first and second lengths to determine a average length, the average length corresponding to a third estimated drop size.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for regulating fluid flow are disclosed. The apparatus includes a flow rate sensor and a valve. The flow rate sensor uses images to estimate flow through a drip chamber and then controls the valve based on the estimated flow rate. The valve comprises a rigid housing disposed around the tube in which fluid flow is being controlled. Increasing the pressure in the housing controls the size of the lumen within the tube by deforming the tube, therefore controlling flow through the tube.

Abstract: A system and method for estimating free space and assigning free space probabilities in point cloud data associated with an autonomous vehicle traveling on a surface, including taking into account sensor noise, sensor availability, obstacle heights, and distance of obstacles from the sensor. System and method can include determining surface planes and classifying point cloud points according to whether or not the points fall on surface planes, among other factors.

Abstract: The application relates to an endoscope with pannable camera. An endoscope has a pannable camera at the distal end of its insertion shaft, the pannable camera assembly being pivotable to provide a range of a field of view that can be equal to or greater than 180 degrees. A terminal light emitting element may be mounted to the camera assembly in order to illuminate the immediate field of view of the camera sensor regardless of the rotational position of the camera assembly. A fluid-carrying conduit of the insertion section may also be used to house functional components, including the camera assembly, actuation cables, a communications cable connected to the camera sensor, and/or a fiberoptic cable providing light to the light emitting element. A distal section of the endoscope handle may be rotatable relative to a proximal hand-held section of the endoscope handle, a rotary encoder being provided to convert the rotational position of the insertion shaft relative to the handle into a signal for the purpose of image orientation correction by an electronic processor.

Abstract: A peristaltic pump is disclosed. The peristaltic pump comprises a tube platen; and a plunger (see 3091, figure 277) configured to actuate toward the tube platen (3022). An end of the plunger has a rounded end and a bottom of the tube platen has a generally U shape that provides a radial gap between the plunger and the tube platen about equal to two to three times a wall thickness of an infusion tube. The rounded shapes of the plunger tip and tube platen avoid compressing the walls of the infusion line (3210), thereby reducing the compressive load on the plunger (see also paragraph [00943]).
