Patent number: 10880283Abstract: Method and apparatus for remotely accessing a computing resource service provider are disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a first computing environment sends, to a second computing environment, a request for information usable for accessing the second computing environment. In response to the request, the information that is usable to remotely access a subset of the computing resources of the second computing environment is made available to a computing system of the first computing environment, whereby the subset of the computing resources is provisioned for a customer of the second computing environment and the customer of the second environment operates the first computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Branchek Roth, Eric Jason Brandwine, Christopher Brian Barclay, Nicholas Alexander Allen

Patent number: 10782990Abstract: At least one instance of an application is launched in a set of software containers that are distributed among a set of virtual machine instances. A set of measurements corresponding to resource utilization by a software container of the set of software containers is obtained and a timestamp is generated for the set of measurements. The set of measurements is aggregated, with other sets of measurements corresponding to the set of software containers for the application, into a set of aggregated measurements grouped in a time window group, based at least in part on the timestamp, and, as a result of fulfillment of a condition, the time window group is outputted.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Joseph Suarez, Jia Bi Zhang, Christopher Brian Barclay, Anirudh Balachandra Aithal, Cornelle Christiaan Pretorius Janse Van Rensburg

Patent number: 9272089Abstract: A differential pressure based flow sensor assembly and method of using the same to determine the rate of fluid flow in a fluid system. The sensor assembly comprises a disposable portion and a reusable portion. A flow restricting element is positioned along a fluid flow passage between an inlet and an outlet. The disposable portion further has an upstream fluid pressure membrane and a downstream fluid pressure membrane. The reusable portion has an upstream fluid pressure sensor and a downstream fluid pressure sensor. The upstream fluid pressure sensor senses the upstream fluid pressure at a location within the fluid flow passage between the inlet and the flow restricting element. The downstream fluid pressure sensor senses the downstream fluid pressure at a location within the fluid flow passage between the flow restricting element and the outlet. The process utilizes output of the sensors to calculate the flow rate of the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: HOSPIRA, INC.Inventors: James D Jacobson, Brian Barclay, Ryan R Brumund, Steven T Cho, Hrishikesh Choudhury, Marwan A Fathallah, Tom Johnson, Patrick B Keely, Mohammad M Khair, Michael G Lowery, Frank Walsworth, John S Ziegler

Patent number: 8657778Abstract: A disposable assembly for use with a sensor assembly comprises a body, a flow restricting element, and a fluid pressure membrane. The body has a lid portion and a base portion. The body defines a fluid flow passage that forms an inlet and an outlet. The flow restricting element is positioned in the fluid flow passage between the inlet and the outlet. The membrane is located between the lid and base portions along the fluid flow passage. A reinforcing structure, such as a ring or a rigid disk, is positioned between the fluid pressure membrane and the lid portion to provide increased resistance to pressure in the fluid flow passage. The ring or disk can be a separate component or formed on the membrane. The membrane thickness adjacent to sensor access openings in the lid portion can be increased for pressure resistance, too.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: John S.

Patent number: 8523797Abstract: A point of care fluid testing system for determining properties of a fluid comprises a patient connection, a primary fluid routing portion, a pump, a secondary fluid routing portion, and a flushing fluid connection. The patient connection connects the system to a patient. The primary fluid routing portion has a pump region, a fluid transfer region, and an in-line testing region. The pump region pumps the fluid sample from the patient to the testing portion and back to the patient. The in-line testing region evaluates a first characteristic of the fluid sample. The fluid transfer region transmits a portion of the fluid sample out of the primary fluid routing portion. The secondary fluid routing portion includes an off-line testing portion that receives the portion of the fluid sample transmitted from the fluid transfer region. The off-line testing portion evaluates a second characteristic of the fluid sample.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2009Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Michael G.

Publication number: 20080027300Abstract: An oximetry probe assembly includes fluid seal assembly taking the form of a manually actuated plunger which moves relative to a barrel having a seal placed therein. Depression of the plunger causes the seal to be deformed so as to permit insertion of an oximetry probe through the seal and advancement towards a central venous catheter. When the plunger is released, the seal is compressed against the barrel and the sheath of the oximetry probe to thereby form a fluid-tight seal. The plunger and barrel are preferably configured as a one-handed grasping assembly whereby the user may hold the plunger and barrel with one hand, press the plunger with the thumb, and advance the oximetry probe through the fluid seal assembly with the other hand.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Applicant: HOSPIRA, INC.Inventors: Brian Barclay, John Norman, Anis Rahman, William Rudzena, Tage Grant, Bradley Gould, Hrishikesh Choudhury
