Abstract: The present invention utilizes a torque compensation system and a power control feedback system to reduce power consumption in a linear peristaltic pump. The linear peristaltic infusion pump includes an electric motor, which is connected to a cam shaft with multiple cams positioned thereon. Numerous elongate fingers cooperate with the cams to partly occlude an intravenous drip tube at multiple points along the tube's path. A torque compensation system and power feedback control system reduce the overall power consumption of the pump. A torque compensation cam positioned on the cam shaft, in combination with a torque compensation cam follower and a mechanical spring assist the motor while it is working against a rising cam follower. The power feedback control system comprises a controller which optimally adjusts the power supplied to the drive means so as to reduce overall power consumption of the pump.

Abstract: Micromixers constitute a main component of microreactors that have three-dimensional microstructures in a fixed matrix, in which chemical reactions take place. In said micromixer, fluids from their respective supply chambers are divided into spatially separated fluid streams using a network of microchannels allocated to the respective streams. Said streams then emerge as jets with identical volumetric flows for each fluid into a mixing chamber. The invention aims to ensure that identical volumetric flows are achieved for each fluid at the respective microchannel outflow and to produce a micromixer with a simple, compact construction. Wedge-shaped plates can be used as the supply elements (2a-d). Said plates can be assembled to form at least one ring sector which surrounds the mixing chamber (5) in the form of a curve. Alternatively, planar plates can be used which comprise a cavity in their central region, into which the microchannels (31-34) provided for each fluid form one or more symmetrical bifurcation cascades (3) comprising at least two stages. The micromixer can be used in microreactors, for example in the field of combined chemistry, for creating emulsion and gaseous/liquid dispersions and for gas-phase catalysis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a call completion service in a wireless communication system are described. A call attempt is completed between a calling party and a called party encountering congestion in a respective cell, by storing information related to the call attempt, monitoring a congestion level and setting up a call to complete the call attempt when traffic channels are available provided the parties are still within the cell coverage area. A predetermined number of available traffic channels may be required so as to prevent further congestion caused call completion. When determining that the called or calling party is within a new cell, congestion level is determined in the new cell and the call is completed if congestion levels are favorable. When the call can be set up the calling party is contacted and confirmation requested. Notification is provided to the parties that the call attempt was not completed, prompting the parties to indicate whether the call attempt should be completed or whether additional stored call attempts should be re-attempted. A call completion service for an established call may be provided by a method and apparatus configured to detect a handoff attempt to a new cell, determine that congestion has occurred, store information related to the handoff attempt, monitor information related to the handoff attempt to determine if the cell is still congested and if the parties are still within the coverage area whereupon a call may be set up.

A electric circuit further comprises a capacitor for compensating the inductance of the coil which is wound around the motor of the reciprocating compressing unit, accordingly, the burden of the applied voltage against the inductance is reduced, so low applied voltage can generate the stroke needed and the variation of the current hardly effect to the variation of the stroke. Therefore, stable load characteristic is maintained because the stroke variation is low even if the load variation is generated.
