Title: Damping for electromechanical actuators
Inventor: MOCK M ROBERT
IPC: G05B19/404
Filed: 2004-12-10
Abstract: Oscillation and other disturbance damping is provided for a system having a load driven by an electric motor. Damping is achieved using feedback in an active mode, where power is supplied in a normal operation mode of the electromagnetic actuator. A gear train or other mechanical advantage device is connected between the electromagnetic actuator output and a load, to form an electromagnetic actuator. Feedback is provided by measured force or torque transmitted between the actuator and load mass. In active damping, a high pass filter is used to receive feedback signals and filter out low frequency feedback. The motor coils of the motor are shorted, such as by using a switch.  The induced motor current acts to inhibit load oscillations. A number of resistors are in the short circuit to tailor the damping characteristics of the motor.

Abstract: A male Luer connector (200) that attaches to a female Luer connector to open a medical fluid flow channel between said connectors. The male connector has two internal valves (206, 208) and a vacuum-generating structure (212, 210). The two valves and the vacuum-~ generating structure are configured to draw back into the male connector any fluid residing on the interface between the connectors during their disengagement and to then seal the distal tip of the male connector. Both valves are opened/closed by a movable actuator plug (224) by contact with the front surface of the female connector. A resilient member (210) biases the male valves to the closed position and includes a variable internal volume (212) that creates the vacuum upon disengagement of the connectors. The male valves are timed to a particular sequence with the closing of an internal female connector valve so that the vacuum generated by the male connector will have the most fluid drawback effect.
