Patent NO-914635-D0 (NO)
Inventor: RING WALLACE H
IPC: A61M39/00
Filed: 1991-11-26
Abstract: A connector (10) carrying a sensor (11) for placement in a catheter adapter (12) has proximal and distal parts with a passage therebetween. The distal part (16) detachably fits within a catheter adapter. The connector, when attached to the adapter, places the passage (A) in fluid communication with and near a catheter lumen. A sensor on the connector within the distal part is exposed to the passage for fluid communication with the lumen. The sensor mounts on a tube (20) or in an inside wall of the distal part and extends within the passage and partially through the distal part to monitor pressure with a first side (21) of the sensor exposed to the passage and a second side (22) of the sensor covering an exit from the connector near the proximal part. The second side is vented to atmospheric pressure and a sensor signal communication means connects the sensor to pass signals from the sensor through the exit. A sleeve (30) extends distally on the connector for threaded engagement with a male luer on the adapter allowing fluid tight communication between a cavity within the adapter and the passage. The distal part substantially fills the cavity reducing the hydraulic column volume in the lumen and the passage. A method places a catheter into a human or animal to provide access to dynamic pressure, measures atmospheric pressure with a sensor carried on a connector, sets the signal response of the sensor measurement to a datum for atmospheric pressure applied to first and second sides and attaches the connector to the adapter to fit the distal part into the cavity in the adapter so gas within the cavity and the passage escapes to provide a hydraulic column substantially free of gas. <IMAGE>

Inventor: LANGE RUDOLF
IPC: G01F/
Filed: 1991-12-23
Abstract: Described is single-jet or multi-jet impeller-type water meter with a device for compensating for errors due to ageing, the device having one or more pipes, or flow-retarding ribs with grooves, located in a measurement chamber. When the meter becomes dirty, the increase in rpm this causes is automatically compensated for since the flow cross-section of the pipes is simultaneously decreased, thus leading to increased throttle losses, or the effective cross-section of the flow-retarding ribs is increased. These devices can also be used for the initial adjustment of the meter.

Abstract: A gas storage system formed of a continuous pipe wound in plural layers, each layer having plural loops. The pipe may be distributed within a container, which may serve as a carousel for winding the pipe and as a gas containment device. When containers, each containing a continuous pipe are stacked upon each other, the weight of upper containers may be born by the walls of lower containers, thus preventing lower layers of pipe from suffering stresses due to crushing by upper layers. A method of transporting gas to a gas distribution facility including obtaining a supply of gas at a gas supply point remote from the gas distribution facility, injecting the gas into a continuous pipe bent to form plural layers, each layer including plural loops of pipe, transporting the continuous pipe along with the gas to the gas distribution facility preferably in a ship and discharging the gas at the gas distribution facility. It is preferred that cooling of the pipe during discharging of the gas be conserved so that during subsequent filling the pipe is initially cool. Also, in a further aspect of the invention, during filling, the gas pressure should be maintained as constant as possible for example by controlled release of an incompressible liquid from the pipe as the pipe is filled with gas. Energy from the incompressible liquid may then be recovered or dissipated outside of the pipes.
