International Classification:

B41J 3336

US Classification:

400232

Abstract:

A thermal transfer printer includes an arrangement for continuously and automatically varying the rate of advance of the thermal transfer ribbon during printing, the rate of advance being correlated with the nature of the image being printed, and the variable advance rate being provided by a driven friction feed roller and a pair of ribbon guides which cooperate with the friction feed roller and are so positioned that the transfer ribbon is held tightly against the friction feed roller, contacting the circumference of the friction feed roller over more than 90. degree. its circumference and preferably at least 180. degree. of its circumference.

A61M 5/142

US Classification:

604500

Abstract:

A method of delivering a medical fluid to a patient includes enabling the attachment of an infusion pump housing to an external support, enabling the viewing of information right-side-up on a display screen of the infusion pump housing, enabling the rotation of the display screen approximately 90 degrees about an axis extending perpendicularly from the display screen, automatically reorienting the information on the display screen so that the information remains right-side-up after rotation, enabling the viewing of the information right-side-up on the display screen after rotation, and enabling the delivery of a flowable material to the patient through an infusion line attached to the infusion pump housing before and after rotation.

F16B 37/00

US Classification:

604155000, 411427000

Abstract:

A drive mechanism for an infusion pump linearly moves a syringe plunger within a syringe barrel supported by the pump and includes: (i) a motor; (ii) a lead screw rotatably connected to the motor; (iii) a slide assembly having a threaded member supported thereon, the threaded member being associated with the lead screw; (iv) an arm having one end connected to the slide assembly and one end adapted to be engaged with the syringe plunger, and (v) the threaded member being rotatably biased in engagement with the lead screw, wherein upon rotation of the lead screw by the motor, the slide assembly linearly moves the arm wherein the arm is adapted to move the syringe plunger within the syringe barrel.
