  • Flow pulsatility dampening devices
    Patent number: 8366667
    Abstract: A medical fluid infusion system including: a fluid pathway for transporting a pulsatile flow of fluid; a dampening element in communication with the fluid pathway, the dampening element configured to actively dampen pressure fluctuations of the pulsatile flow to smoothen the pulsatile fluid flow, the dampening element operable in any orientation; and a fluid flow sensor disposed along the fluid pathway downstream of the dampening element to measure the flow rate of the smoothened fluid flow.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 11, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2013
    Assignees: Baxter International Inc., Baxter Healthcare S.A.

  • System and method for inspection using off-angle lighting
    Patent number: 7024031
    Abstract: A system for inspecting components is provided. The system includes an axial lighting system that illuminates the component with axial lighting to allow one or more features of the component to be located, such as by causing protruding features to be brighter than the background and recessed features to be darker than the background. An off-axis lighting system illuminates the component with off-axis lighting in the absence of the axial lighting to allow the component to be inspected to locate one or more features, such as a bump contact.
