    • In accordance with the present invention, a compact flash technology is utilized in an ultrasound device for storing digital images. The digital images preferably are stored in a standard format, such as, for example, the JPEG format, so that no specialized software is required to access and view the images. Compact flash technology is readily available to consumers and generally is relatively inexpensive. Also, relatively low cost interfaces are available for PCs and some printers to enable the digital images stored on a compact flash disk to be easily downloaded to a PC or printer. Additionally, standard PCs typically are equipped with software that can read JPEG files. Therefore, personal users of the ultrasound device can easily download images to their PCs and access and view the images without the need for special equipment, training, or personnel. When stored in such a standard format, no additional software is needed to view the images and thus the user can use his or her PC to access and view the images at no additional expense, provided the PC is equipped with hardware and/or software associated with the format. Although the images preferably are stored in the JPEG format on the compact flash disk, the images may be stored in other formats, such as, for example, the TIFF format, which is also a standard image format. Specialized software, such as DICOM or DSR, may also be utilized with the present invention if desired.
    • 根据本发明,在用于存储数字图像的超声波装置中使用紧凑型闪光技术。 数字图像优选地以诸如JPEG格式的标准格式存储,使得不需要专门的软件来访问和查看图像。 紧凑型闪存技术对于消费者来说是容易获得的,并且通常是相对便宜的。 此外,PC和一些打印机可以使用相对低成本的接口来使存储在紧凑型闪存盘上的数字图像容易地下载到PC或打印机。 此外,标准PC通常配备有可读取JPEG文件的软件。 因此,超声波装置的个人用户可以容易地将图像下载到他们的PC并访问和查看图像,而不需要特殊的设备,训练或人员。 当以这样的标准格式存储时,不需要额外的软件来查看图像,因此用户可以使用他或她的PC来访问和查看图像,而不需要额外的费用,只要PC配备有相关联的硬件和/或软件 与格式。 虽然图像优选地以紧凑型闪存盘上的JPEG格式存储,但是图像可以以其他格式存储,例如也是标准图像格式的TIFF格式。 如果需要,专用软件如DICOM或DSR也可以用于本发明。

    • A thermal management system for a portable battery powered electronic device, and particularly, a portable battery powered ultrasound device, which controls the temperature of the device such that the external surface temperature satisfies medical safety regulatory requirements, and such that the heat generated by the device does not reduce battery life, reduce component life, decrease reliability of the device, or cause device shutdown because of overheating. A thermal management system monitors the respective temperatures of various system components, and, based on the monitored temperatures, performs control to cool the ultrasound system, maintaining the external surface temperature below the safety regulated temperatures and ensuring reliability of system components. The thermal management system controls the system temperature and external surface temperature by various measures, including controlling operation of a cooling fan; modifying system parameters to change an operating mode of the ultrasound system; controlling clocking of the system circuitry by selectively enabling or disabling circuitry; and modifying a charging profile of the battery.
