20. The system of claim 18, wherein the client device and the second client device are the same device.
21. The system of claim 15, wherein the access control list is configured to allow an updating of a set of client devices that are authorized to access the dialysis machine by updating, at the server, the access list stored on the server.
22. The system of claim 15, wherein the data processor is located remotely from the dialysis machine.
23. The system of claim 22, wherein the server is located at a clinic.
24. The system of claim 23, wherein the dialysis machine is located at a home of a patient.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A nipple comprising a nipple head, a nipple body, a nipple neck, a mounting flange and a pressure adjusting valve,
wherein a cylindrical-inverted dome shaped nipple head, which is a tip of the nipple and is formed with a nipple duct at the center of the said nipple head; a hallowed-inverted cone shaped nipple body attached to a vertical-hallowed cylinder shaped nipple neck, which is mounted between the nipple body and the mounting flange; a flat ring shaped mounting flange extended from the nipple neck roundly and vertically; and an air cavity defined on the mounting flange, which is attached to the valve cavity of the pressure adjusting valve at the bottom of the mounting flange for allowing air to flow into liquid-containing bottle.
wherein the interior of the pressure adjusting valve is shaped a hallowed cylinder having closed-bottom end and the side wall of the pressure adjusting valve positioned over the closed-bottom end is formed with a slit at a part of periphery of said side wall of the pressure adjusting valve.
