Appl. No.:

10/202185

Inventors:

John A. Forthun - Glendora CA
Mark G. Gordon - Corona Del Mar CA

Assignee:

DPAC Technologies Corp. - Garden Grove CA

International Classification:

H01L 2144

US Classification:

438109

Abstract:

A stackable integrated circuit chip package comprising a carrier and a flex circuit. The flex circuit itself comprises a flexible substrate having opposed top and bottom surfaces, and a conductive pattern which is disposed on the substrate. The chip package further comprises an integrated circuit chip which is electrically connected to the conductive pattern. The substrate is wrapped about and attached to at least a portion of the carrier such that the conductive pattern defines first and second portions which are each electrically connectable to another stackable integrated circuit chip package. The carrier is sized and configured to be releasably attachable to the carrier of at least one other identically configured stackable integrated circuit chip package in a manner wherein the chip packages, when attached to each other, are maintained in registry along first and second axes which are generally co-planar and extend in generally perpendicular relation to each other.

US Classification:

604264000, 604525000

Abstract:

A multiple lumen catheter having a soft, tapered multiple lumen distal tip for insertion into a body vessel. One of the lumens is sized to pass over a guidewire such that the catheter can be inserted into the body vessel using the Seldinger technique. At least one medical implement lumen is used for placement or positioning of a biomedical sensor or other medical implement. For example, at least one optical fiber passing through the medical implement lumen may transmit and receive light at the distal tip for measuring oxygen saturation of the blood. The catheter may have a cylindrical catheter body to which the soft distal tip attaches. The soft tip reduces the possibility of vessel or tissue puncture and abrasion. The tip is constructed of a soft plastic or pliable material that yields easily when force is applied. For example, the tip may be made of a softer material than the catheter body, or if made of the same material, the tip can be configured with thinner walls or a higher air-to-material ratio cross-section. Various geometrical configurations and combinations of materials can be used to decrease the flexible resistance of the tip to an applied load. One particular useful application for the catheter of the present invention is as a central venous catheter equipped with fibers for measuring oximetry. The fibers extend to the distal end of the tip and are preferably secured therein with minimal adhesive so as to limit the stiffness added to the tip. One particular useful construction is to secure the fibers within the medical implement lumen using adhesive only along a length of between about 0.5-3.5 mm.

International Classification:

B60R 11/06

US Classification:

224401

Abstract:

Systems and methods for mounting and using various different accessories on a robotic system such as a unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). A tool library may include interchangeable modules, each module having a number of tool holders. Electronic components may be mounted to each of the modules adjacent to each of the of tool holders that identify the module and tool that is associated with the tool holder. The UGV may have a reader that is capable of reading the electronic components to determine the module and tools that are available for use on the UGV.

Assignee:

American Hospital Supply Corp. - Evanston IL

International Classification:

F04B 4900

US Classification:

417 18

Abstract:

Substantially continuous fluid delivery in a variable-speed peristaltic pump is achieved by operating the pump at maximum speed through most of the deadband regardless of the delivery rate. Safety means are disclosed to monitor the correct operation of the speed control.

Appl. No.:

6/837083

Inventors:

Mark G. Gordon - Tustin CA

International Classification:

A61M 500

US Classification:

604 48

Abstract:

Method and apparatus are disclosed for drawing blood from an injection site through an arterial line connected to a fluid supply. The apparatus includes a variable capacity pump mechanism housing having inner walls defining an interior chamber. The housing includes first and second ports connected to a variable capacity interior chamber. A retractable piston is disposed within the housing and is adapted to traverse within the chamber. A piston sealing member is provided about the piston in slidable sealing engagement with the chamber walls to cause fluid to be drawn into the chamber, thereby facilitating the extraction of a blood sample along the arterial line without the need to discharge an initial sample containing disproportionate amounts of supply fluid.

Appl. No.:

7/381760

Inventors:

Kent W. Newgard - Santa Ana CA
Mark G. Gordon - Tustin CA

International Classification:

A61M 5178

US Classification:

604167

Abstract:

A self-occluding cannula assembly comprising a generally tubular cannula sheath having a connecting hub formed on one end thereof and including an occluding means positioned within the inner bore of said connecting hub. The occluding means comprises (a) a generally frusto conical dilator projection; (b) an elastomeric valving member positioned transversely within the bore of the connecting hub proximal to said dilator projection. The elastomeric valving member is peripherally axially compressed so as to cause displacement, distortion and/or rheological flowing of the elastomeric material thereof in a radially inward direction. An elastically openable and closable aperture is formed in the mid-portion of the valving member and the valving member is alternately movable between an "occluding" position wherein the aperture is closed so as to prevent fluid flow through the cannula and a "non-occluding" position wherein the aperture is open to allow fluid flow through the cannula.

International Classification:

P61M 500
P61M 2500

US Classification:

604167

Abstract:

Disclosed is a self-occluding cannula assembly comprising a cannula sheath having a connector hub formed on one end thereof. A self-actuating occluding means is formed within the cannula assembly so as to prevent back flow of body fluids from the cannula. In the cannulae wherein an introducer needle is initially axially positioned within the cannula lumen, the occluding means will permit desired withdrawal of the needle but will thereafter immediately occlude the cannula lumen to prevent back flow therethrough. The occluding means is further adapted to shift to a "non-occluded" configuration upon connection of a second infusion or monitoring tube to the proximal end of the cannula. If, during use, the infusion/monitoring tube should become disconnected, the occluding means will again shift to its "occluded" configuration so as to prevent back flow of fluids from the cannula until such time as the infusion/monitoring line is reconnected.
