  • Patent number: 9801557
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for performing procedure on tissue with flow monitoring using flow sensors. The devices include an elongated member, and at least one flow sensor disposed on the elongated member. The flow sensor includes at least one temperature sensor and at least one heating element having a cavity. At least a portion of the at least one temperature sensor is housed in the cavity.

  • Patent number: 4689145
    Abstract: A filtration system is provided for a dry well in the form of a buffer tank made of concrete to remove sediment and pollutants from water supplied from a header to an inlet pipe in the tank, so that the water exiting from an outlet pipe is free of particulate matter and pollutants. This is accomplished by providing a sediment pit and a baffle at the inlet side of the tank and then passing the water through a multiple stage set of filters having different aperture sizes. These filters remove particles and pollutants from the water as it passes through the buffer tank on its way to a dry well drain pipe attached to the outlet of the buffer tank.
