Publication number: 20210008262Abstract: Blood pump devices having improved rotary seals for sealing a bearing assembly supporting a rotor provided herein. Such rotary seals are particularly suited for use in blood pump devices that include rotors having cantilevered supported through a sealed mechanical bearing disposed outside a blood flow path of the device to avoid thrombus formation caused by blood contact with the bearing. The rotary seal can include a first and second face seal that are preloaded with a deflectable compliance member incorporated into the pump housing or a pair of magnets. Such rotary seals can instead or further utilize tight fitment between components or a bio-absorbable fill material to seal an interface between the rotor shaft and pump housing to seal the bearing assembly from fluid flowing through the pump.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2020Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: TC1 LLCInventors: William V.

Publication number: 20210009180Abstract: The Pallet Loading Height Limiter is a very simple, and yet effective, non-powered, adjustable device for helping warehouse workers keep a shipping pallet load within safe and proper limits for height (and, consequentially, also weight). The device rolls on locking casters for easy use and storage. The device's frame has reinforcing brackets that minimize damage from passing forklifts, etc. The device's design makes it easy to repair if it is ever damaged. Because there is no globally-accepted standard for pallet sizes, this device may be made in various sizes (usually determined by country of origin of the pallet). That said, the North American pallet size (40? by 48?) is the standard used for this application. This device works equally well with stringer- or block-type pallets. Using this device should help minimize material-handling injuries to workers that handle loaded pallets.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2019Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: 1SG EnterprisesInventor: Thomas Frantisekovich Kovach

Publication number: 20210001025Abstract: The invention generally relates to heart pump systems. In some embodiments, a pressure sensor is provided with a heart pump, either at the inflow or the outflow of the blood pump. The heart pump may further include a flow estimator based on a rotor drive current signal delivered to the rotor. Based on the rotor drive current signal, a differential pressure across the pump may be calculated. The differential pressure in combination with the pressure measurements from the pressure sensor may be used to calculate pressure on the opposite side of the pump from the pressure sensor. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor is located at the outflow of the pump and the pump is coupled with the left ventricle. The differential pressure and pressure measurement may be used to calculate a left ventricular pressure waveform of the patient. With such a measurement, other physiological parameters may be derived.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2020Publication date: January 7, 2021Applicant: TC1 LLCInventors: Daniel I.
