    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring a dynamic flow rate of a bodily fluid in which the rate of flow is constantly changing includes an inlet to a chamber where flow accumulates. The accumulating fluid is in communication with the base of a sealed vertical column of air. An air pressure transducer in the upper portion of the column of air measures the pressure exerted upon the air by the accumulated fluid. The air pressure corresponds to the volume of accumulated fluid and is manipulated to yield a running indication of the flow rate. The chamber is automatically drained by a drainage conduit when the fluid reaches an upper operating level to reset the apparatus to a lower operating level to be ready to resume taking meaurements.

    Abstract: This invention provides a device for measuring a whole day urinary output, which includes an outer cylindrical container and an inner hollow tubular container positioned in the outer cylindrical container for proportionally sampling urine from the outer container. The inner container is vertically studded in the outer container and both containers are openably-closably communicated with each other at the bottom of the device and the inner container is openably-closably communicated with a reservoir.

    Abstract: A urine discharge measuring system for medical use which includes a gimbal mounted frame supporting a urine container of fixed dimensions to collect urine from a urinary catheter attached to a patient. An ultrasonic transceiver mounted above the container and operated in conjunction with a microprocessor based control unit, positioned adjacent to the transceiver, periodically and automatically measures the height of the urine collected within the container. The measured fluid height is converted to fluid volume by the control unit. To maintain the sterility of the container, the transceiver transducer(s) is mechanically isolated from the urine container by elements which allow the ultrasonic energy to be transmitted to and received from the interior of the container. In one described embodiment, desired measured volume accuracy is achieved by employing a reflective target within the urine container at a known fixed distance from the transceiver transducer. Comparison by the control unit of the measured distance with the actual distance to the target allows generation of corrections for variations of the speed of sound in air due to temperature and humidity to be applied when obtaining the urine height within the container. Digital displays in the control unit provide indication of past and present accumulation of the urinary output of the patient.

    Abstract: A counter counts the time intervals of falling instilled drops in response to a signal issued each time a falling instilled drop is detected. A memory is supplied with data representing the quantities of a falling instilled drop corresponding to the time intervals at which the drops fall. The data corresponding to the time intervals thereof which have been counted by the counter are read out of the memory. The data thus read out are accumulated to determine the total quantities of the drops.
