  • Publication number: 20260048208
    Abstract: A medical assembly may include a syringe assembly, a rod, and a sensor. The syringe assembly may be removably positionable within a cavity of the medical assembly. The syringe assembly may include a barrel and a plunger. The plunger may be movably disposed within the barrel. The rod may have a first end and a second end. The second end of the rod may be configured to contact the plunger in some configurations of the medical assembly and separated from the plunger in other configurations of the medical assembly. A central longitudinal axis of the rod may extend through the sensor and the plunger in configurations in which the syringe is positioned in the cavity of the medical assembly.

  • Publication number: 20250135105
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to flow rate measurement systems with features to indicate and/or measure flow rate therefrom. In an embodiment, a flow rate measurement device is included having a base receiver, a plunger holder, and a movement sensor. The base receiver is configured to engage with a barrel of a fluid delivery device. The plunger holder is configured to engage with a plunger of the fluid delivery device. The movement sensor is configured to detect a movement speed of the plunger holder relative to the base receiver. The flow rate measurement device can be configured to generate a signal related to the movement speed of the plunger holder relative to the base receiver. Other embodiments are also included herein.

  • Publication number: 20250135112
    Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to flow rate control devices and methods for use with cancer treatment systems. In an embodiment, a flow rate control device for cancer therapy systems can be included having a housing configured to engage with a fluid delivery device and a visual indicator bar. The visual indicator bar can be disposed on the housing and the flow rate control device can be configured to cause the visual indicator bar to visually change to indicate a target plunger depression pace of a plunger of the fluid delivery device. Other embodiments are also included herein.

  • Patent number: 10512218
    Abstract: A quick connect hose adapter connects a flexible transfer hose from a mower deck to an inlet tube on a container for storing debris. The adapter includes a first cylindrical portion fixed in the discharge end of the flexible hose, and a second portion with a clamp assembly that clamps to the inlet tube. The clamp assembly has first and second semi-cylindrical segments connected together on one side by a continuous hinge, and at least one latch for latching the other side of the semi-cylindrical segments together to cause the clamp assembly to be clamped to the inlet tube. When the latch is released, the second semi-cylindrical segment can be moved from a closed position to an open position. In the open position, the adapter is easily removable from the inlet tube. A seal ring provides a smooth inner surface and seal between the adapter and the inlet tube.
