Title: Reducing power consumption in a peristaltic pump mechanism
Inventor: MOSSMAN JOHN A
IPC: F04B49/06
Filed: 2000-12-21
Granted: 2003-10-02
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.

Title: Endovascular delivery system
Inventor: WHITE GEOFFREY H
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1997-08-27
Granted: 2001-04-26
Abstract: A system for delivering and implanting a radially expandable endoluminal prosthesis within a body lumen (e.g., blood vessel). The system comprises a) an introducer/dilator assembly, and b) a delivery catheter/loader assembly. The introducer/dilator assembly comprises an elongate tubular introducer sheath which may be provided with a valving assembly mounted on the proximal end thereof. Such valving assembly may incorporate i) a hemostatic valve, ii) a first sealing valve and iii) a second sealing valve, positioned in series, to prevent leakage of body fluid out of the proximal end of the introducer and to permit two or more elongate members (e.g., catheters, guidewires) having differing outer diameters to be inserted through the introducer without leakage of body fluid therefrom. A dilator, which has regionalized differences in stiffness, is initially deployable within the lumen of the introducer to facilitate advancement of the introducer to its desired location within the body. Thereafter, the dilator may be removed from the introducer sheath and the delivery catheter/loader assembly may be attached to the introducer, such that the delivery catheter having the prosthesis mounted thereon may advanced through the introducer, to a desired location within the body. Thereafter, the radial expandable endoluminal prosthesis mounted on the delivery catheter is deployed and implanted by an expansion device (e.g., balloon) formed on the delivery catheter. The delivery catheter may incorporate one or more outflow apertures at specific location(s) to facilitate injection of radiographic contrast medium in a manner which will check for leakage around the endoluminal prosthesis, after the endoluminal prosthesis has been radially expanded and implanted.
