  • Transparent catheter securement system
    Patent number: 8881899
    Abstract: A securement device for securing a catheter to a patient is provided. The securement device includes a base including a support member and at least one securement arm extending away from the support member. The support member defines a cradle portion, the cradle portion of the support member being configured to receive at least a portion of a catheter. The at least one securement arm being movable over the cradle portion to a position to secure a catheter within the cradle portion. The securement device further includes a cover member configured to be received over the base and dimensioned to secure the base to a patient.

  • Computer process for prescribing an assembly load to provide pre-tensioning simulation in the design analysis of load-bearing structures
    Patent number: 5920491
    Abstract: A computer implemented process simulates the application of a tension force in an element of an assembly. The process defines a finite element model for the element, and creates a pre-tension surface in the finite element model of the element for applying the tension force. Conditions are prescribed relative to the pre-tension surface for applying the tension force in the simulation. The conditions include prescribing an assembly load including either a tension force or tightening adjustment. The assembly load is then applied to the pre-tension surface of the element to simulate the tension in the element of the assembly. The results of the simulation are then evaluated for structural integrity, and subsequent structural redesign of the element is performed when necessary.
