Patent CA-2472724-C (CA)
Inventor: SIMON MICHAEL G
IPC: A61M5/175
Filed: 2003-01-15
Granted: 2010-07-13
Abstract: A pressure compensating IV rate flow regulator having a housing with a metering port and an outlet. The flow rate is set by adjusting a flexible disk to vary the clearance between a metering port and flow passageway. The controlled fluid passes to a land surrounding the outlet. A flexible control membrane having specific design and material characteristics extends across the land and will move or oscillate away or towards the outlet port in response to changes in head pressure, venous back pressure or patient movement. The resulting oscillation of the membrane serves to maintain the flow rate originally set by the clinician. The regulator is provided with safety and operational convenience features such as tactile indicators for "off" and KVO settings and ha provision for use with accessory items such as a pole mount holder or anchoring device secured at the forearm or chest.

Abstract: Methods for conveying, mixing, leveling, and flaking dewatered pulp to produce pulp flakes suitable to be used in a dryer. Methods for producing a consistent flow rate of pulp, and, for producing uniform pulp flakes in terms of pulp flake size and pulp flake moisture content. A method includes introducing a dewatered pulp to a rotating shaftless screw conveyor. The pulp is deposited from the screw conveyor onto a moving belt conveyor through a chute. The pulp is leveled with a rotary doctor located above the belt conveyor to produce a substantially even rate of mass flow of pulp along a length of belt conveyor. Uniform and consistent quantities of pulp per unit time can then be fed from the belt conveyor to a pulp flaker that then translates into an even rate of pulp mass flow to the dryer.
