Filed:

Dec 16, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/304827

Inventors:

Timothy Mulligan - Glenview IL, US
James Barker - Niles IL, US

International Classification:

G01R 31/02

US Classification:

324072500

Abstract:

A molded voltage sensor is provided that achieves excellent sensing accuracy over a wide temperature range by molding primary and secondary capacitances of a voltage divider into a solid dielectric material and wherein the capacitances are preferably fabricated from the same material, or at least materials having nearly identical temperature coefficients of permittivity. In a preferred arrangement, a first member of dielectric material includes a conductive pattern on the outer surface thereof and an electrical connection attached to the conductive pattern. The first member is then molded into a predetermined location with respect to a central conductor and a layer of the dielectric molding material is also molded over the exterior of the first member. Another conductive pattern is formed on the over-molded layer. The overall assembly is then molded to form a body of the desired shape and provides insulation between the conductor and the conductive patterns.

Abstract:

A bite block for an endotracheal tube has a tubular wall with a pair of opposed ends, a central opening along a length of the bite block between the pair of opposed ends, an interior wall surface, and an accessory line channel positioned between the interior wall surface and an endotracheal tube extending through the central opening. The accessory line channel is formed by a wall segment that is recessed into the interior wall surface, the wall segment being thinner than a thickness of the tubular wall adjacent the wall segment. The bite block can be part of or attachable to an endotracheal tube holding device attachable to a patient.
