  • Patent number: 8082021
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for locating a catheter, or other medical international devices are described herein. In one aspect of the invention, an exemplary method includes providing a pressure sensitive device attached to a body of a catheter, providing a resonant circuit coupled to the pressure sensitive device in the catheter, the resonant circuit having an oscillating frequency, generating a magnetic field, the magnetic field inducing and causing the resonant circuit to oscillate, applying a pressure on the pressure sensitive device, the pressure applied on the pressure sensitive device changing the frequency of the resonant circuit, detecting the oscillation of the resonant circuit, and determining location of the catheter based on the oscillation of the resonant circuit. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

  • Publication number: 20110227352
    Abstract: A door shipping clip for securing a pre-hung door to a door jamb in a closed position during shipping is provided. The door shipping clip comprises a substantially rigid door interacting portion for interacting with a surface of the door in proximity of a door lock bore disposed in the door and an elongated bendable strike jamb interacting portion extending from the door interacting portion for being disposed through the door lock bore and for interacting with a surface of the strike jamb. The strike jamb interacting portion in concert with the door interacting portion for holds the door in a closed position with a strike edge of the door abutting a respective abutting surface of the strike jamb.
