This increase in strength however causes a loss of inner diameter which couldrestrict the wiring that will be running through the arm.Text to Voice Unit:The interface’s text to voice unit is the crucial link to the project for our clientsthat suffer from visual disabilities. Without proper auditory cues, patients run therisk of delivering wrong dosing amounts which can cause serious harm or evendeath. This makes the auditory output from our interface a vital portion of thecorrect drug delivery interface system.Winbond currently produces the WTS701 which is a single chip, integrated circuitthat can convert text to speech. For our interface, we will be incorporating theParallax Emic Text-To-Speech Module that contains the Winbond WTS701. Byusing the module rather than design the circuit from the chip alone, our grouphas the complete hardware module that can convert the lines of text on theLCD into English. This design is also very small and includes the speaker neededfor the converted output which will allow for our design to meet its size andportability objectives.Figure 2.1.1.4: Emic module.The above pin descriptions show that the module only requires +5V DC forpower, contains both a serial in and out, and has pins for both positive andnegative speaker driver output. Also for the SIP version, there is an analog inputwhich will allow the module to receive audio signals. Even though the OEMconfiguration has a smaller output speaker, it will be the module integrated intoour design because we won’t need the analog input functionality.13
Circuit ElementsThe physical link between the infusion pump and the interface will ideally bedone via a serial bus. RS 232 seems like a likely candidate due to itspervasiveness and relative simplicity. The procured infusion pump is a Baxter FloGard® 6200 which has no serial bus outputs. If another pump with a serial portcannot be found, the Baxter Flo Gard ® 6200 must be dissected in order to installa port through which interfacing can be accomplished. Signals must bereceived from and sent to the infusion pump in a way that they are discernableby both devices. Figure 2.1.1.5 is a basic circuit element schematic. A morecomplex schematic cannot be generated until more is known about the dataprotocols of the infusion pump, as well as those of the visual display, buttons andtext-to-voice module. Essentially input signals will be generated by input buttonsand will be relative to what is on the display. This data will be processed by amicroprocessor into signals which the infusion pump can comprehend. Thesignals will then be transmitted via a serial bus to the infusion pump itself wherethey will result in action being taken, such as a flow rate being set or infusionbeginning. The system must also work in reverse. Warnings and statusinformation from the infusion pump must be transmitted along the serial bus anddisplayed visually and audibly.Visual DisplayText-to-VoiceModuleMicroprocessorSerial Bus<strong>Infusion</strong> <strong>Pump</strong>Control ButtonsFigure 2.1.1.5: Basic Circuit DesignOne disadvantage to the use of a microprocessor is that any graphics interfacemust be generated from scratch in assembly code. This can prove to be tediousand unnecessary given the many operating systems available with graphicsinterfaces already present. As more is learned about the protocols of the14
