Publication number: 20240074829Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Hemotek Medical IncorporatedInventors: Patrick ROUSCHE, Peter TEK, Charles VENTURA, Richard A.

Patent number: 11456139Abstract: An overload relay is disclosed in which a single operator coil is controlled for both tripping and resetting. A permanent magnet and a spring make the device bi-stable, so the coil may be unpowered when in the trip and reset states. Energization of the coil overcomes the magnet to allow tripping, while energization in an opposite direction adds to the magnet force to reset the device. An electromagnetic activation path overrides a mechanical activation path for electromagnetic tripping despite attempted manual resetting. The device may be pulse width modulated to reduce power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Andrew Edward Carlson
