  • Patent number: 5505080
    Abstract: A tire pressure management system including a tire condition monitor connected to the tire so as to be interactive with air pressure in the tire and for selectively measuring a pressure in the tire, a controller, and a display. The tire condition monitor includes a transmitter and a receiver. The controller also has a transmitter and a receiver connected thereto. The transmitter of the controller serves to transmit a first radio signal to the receiver of the tire condition monitor. The receiver of the controller serves to receive a second radio signal from the transmitter of the tire condition monitor. The display is connected to the controller so as to display a humanly perceivable indication of a condition of the tire. An air compressor is mounted to a wheel of the tire so as to deliver air to an interior of the tire when the pressure of the tire is below a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 5157930
    Abstract: An organ preservation apparatus including an organ-receiving chamber, a pulsatile pump in continuous uninterrupted liquid communication with the organ-receiving chamber, and a fluid delivery tube interconnected between the organ-receiving chamber and the pulsatile pump for passing the organ preservation fluid from the organ-receiving chamber to the pulsatile pump. The pulsatile pump is configured to pass an organ preservation fluid to the organ-receiving chamber in a dichrotic pulse pattern. The organ-receiving chamber has an outer box with an insulated interior area, an organ-receiving cassette removably contained within the insulated interior area, and a lid detachably fastened to the outer box. The pulsatile pump includes a bladder pump, a motor, and a cam connected to the motor. The cam is connected to an actuator so as to compress the bladder pump is a dichrotic pulse pattern.
