8118061, Feb 21, 2012

Filed:

Jun 19, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/214473

Inventors:

Dongchul D. Hyun - Brea CA, US
Michael Fleury - Brea CA, US

Assignee:

Acacia, Inc. - Brea CA

International Classification:

F16K 11/16

US Classification:

1376302, 13759906

Abstract:

A variable flow rate controller is provided herein. The controller may have a linearly traversable switch such that the controller is primed to flush air bubbles out of the fluid system of the controller prior to administering fluidic medication to a patient. Moreover, the controller may have a plurality of valves which may be independently opened and closed by a caming surface. To close the valve, a first seal may be disposed between offset inlet and outlet to prevent fluid from flowing from the inlet to the outlet. To open the valve, the first seal is disposed on one side of both of the inlet and outlet. Fluid if permitted to flow from the inlet to the outlet.

Inventors:

Michael Fleury - Racine WI, US

Assignee:

Center for Advanced Technology Innovation - Sturtevant WI

International Classification:

E01F009/06

US Classification:

404/013000

Abstract:

A reflective surface marker comprising a pair of generally parallel lower legs, each leg having a first end; a pair of generally parallel upper legs, each leg having a first end; a flexible hinge resiliently connecting the first end of said lower leg to the first end of said upper leg; a reflective material connecting said upper legs; and a bladder for resiliently supporting the reflective material.

Appl. No.:

13/041850

Inventors:

Dongchul D. Hyun - Brea CA, US
Michael T. Fleury - Brea CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/36
A61M 25/00

US Classification:

604514, 604126

Abstract:

A multi-purpose syringe that may be used both for gravity feeding and syringe pump assisted feeding of a neonate is disclosed. The multi-purpose syringe includes a cap and a plunger. The cap and plunger may be selectively engaged to the barrel depending on whether the neonate is fed by gravity or syringe pump. The cap seals the top of the barrel but allows gas to pass between the inside of the barrel and the environment and traps liquid within the barrel. To this end, the cap has an aperture covered by a hydrophobic member.

International Classification:

A61M 5/44

US Classification:

604500, 604113, 604114

Abstract:

A heating system for warming nutritional liquid fed to a neonate or preterm infant may comprise a control module and a heater. The heating system is portable so that the heating system is not connected to a syringe pump or other device used to feed the neonate. The heater of the heating system is mounted to the tube that is used to feed the neonate. The heater is positioned along the tube in close proximity to the neonate so that a temperature drop of the nutritional liquid after the nutritional liquid exits the heater and reaches the neonate is negligible. The heater raises the temperature of the nutritional liquid to a target desired temperature (e.g., body temperature of the mother and neonate or to a temperature above the temperature of the mother and neonate) so that the neonate may consume warm nutritional fluid. Once the nutritional liquid reaches the neonate, the nutritional liquid is at about the body temperature of the mother or neonate or at least above room temperature.

Appl. No.:

8/356829

Inventors:

Michael T. Fleury - Racine WI
Dean A. Erickson - Greenfield WI

Assignee:

Cabot Technology Corporation - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

A61B 1700

US Classification:

606 1

Abstract:

A surgical tool, such as grasping forceps, biopsy forceps, or a retaining basket, is operated by a control wire that extends through a sheath. A handle assembly has a luer at one end through which the control wire passes before attaching to a slider that is movably located within an elongated opening in the handle. The slider has a collet mechanism that grips the wire and the luer is rotated to tighten and loosen the collet mechanism. A brake selectively applies a force between the handle and the slider to restrict movement of the slider within the elongated opening of the handle. In different embodiments, the brake is attached to either the handle or the slider and exerts frictional force on the other components. The handle assembly is designed to enable single handed operation of the surgical tool by a user.
