Abstract: An IV system can include a first flow regulator configured to restrict flow through a tube and a second flow regulator configured to restrict flow through the tube downstream of the first flow regulator. The first flow regulator can compress the tube a fixed amount to set an initial flow rate through the tube, while the second flow regulator includes a user-adjustable mechanical compression device that compresses the tube to a variable degree to fine-tune the flow rate through to a more precise flow rate that is lower than the initial flow rate. The flow regulators can utilize a purely mechanical means such that electricity is not required. Such systems can provide a simple, low-cost, and low-power way to provide precise flow control to patients, especially neonatal patient, in any environment. Systems can also include flow rate monitoring, alerting, and shutoff components.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical metasurface is configured to operate in a given working spectral band. The method comprises: obtaining a 2D array of patterns, each comprising one or more nanostructures forming dielectric elements that are resonant in said working spectral band, said nanostructures being formed in at least one photosensitive dielectric medium; exposing said 2D array to a writing electromagnetic wave having at least one wavelength in said photosensitivity spectral band, said writing wave having a spatial energy distribution in a plane of the 2D array that is a function of an intended phase profile, so that each pattern of the 2D array produces on an incident electromagnetic wave having a wavelength in the working spectral band, a phase variation corresponding to a refractive index variation experienced by said pattern during said exposure.
