  • Assembly method for catheter with blood control
    Patent number: 8864715
    Abstract: A system and method for assembling a catheter device, wherein a septum actuator is positioned within the lumen of a catheter adapter to provide a pathway through a septum component, an introducer needle being inserted through the septum via the septum actuator thereby preventing damage to the septum, the septum actuator thereafter being withdrawn from the septum and positioned within a rearward chamber of the catheter adapter lumen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 21, 2014
    Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and Company
    Inventors: Ken Cluff, William G. Moulton, Edward G. Henderson, III, Jeff McMurray, Kenneth B. Lindstrom

  • Particle emission analysis for semiconductor fabrication steps
    Patent number: 8158449
    Abstract: A structure and a method for operating the same. The method includes providing a detecting structure which includes N detectors. N is a positive integer. A fabrication step is simultaneously performed on the detecting structure and M product structures in a fabrication tool resulting in a particle-emitting layer on the detecting structure. The detecting structure is different than the M product structures. The M product structures are identical. M is a positive integer. An impact of emitting particles from the particle-emitting layer on the detecting structure is analyzed after said performing is performed.
