Patent number: 10018405Abstract: A refrigerator locking system is used to secure the doors of a refrigerator in closed or open positions. The system includes at least one anchor bar, a locking bracket, a door block and a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a frame, at least one refrigerator door and a freezer door. The anchor bar is mounted to the frame in between the refrigerator door and the freezer door. The locking bracket is connected adjacent to the frame and is engaged with to the door block to secure the refrigerator door and the freezer door. The door block can be used to press the refrigerator door and the freezer door against the frame, keeping the refrigerator closed. Alternatively, the door block can be positioned in between the frame and both the refrigerator door and the freezer door to keep the refrigerator open.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Inventor: Carl Kent Abrahamson

Publication number: 20170182242Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide wearable automatic injection devices for providing an injection of a therapeutic agent into a patient. The wearable automatic injection device includes a housing having a patient contact portion securable to the patient, an injection needle for insertion into the patient, and a prefilled syringe assembly for holding the therapeutic agent. The prefilled syringe assembly includes a distal stopper and a proximal stopper penetrated by a penetrating needle. The penetrating needle is in fluid communication with the patient injection needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2016Publication date: June 29, 2017Applicant: AbbVie Inc.Inventors: Charles M. Galitz, Kent Abrahamson, Kevin P. McLennan

Publication number: 20070058412Abstract: A medical pump with an improved continuity low flow delivery system and method for use with a pumping chamber, for example in a cassette, is disclosed. The pump includes a pump drive for exerting a force on the pumping chamber and a sensor for sensing the force/pressure exerted by the pump drive on the pumping chamber. The pump drive position sensor senses the position of the pump drive. The medical pump also includes a processing unit and a memory having a programming code adapted to calculate the rate of change of the sensed force/pressure values and determine whether the rate of change of the sensed force/pressure values meets a rate of change threshold. Once the rate of change threshold is met, the programming code is adapted to calculate a remaining pump drive travel value for determining how much farther the pump drive should travel before the end of an effective pump cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2006Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventors: David Wang, Peter Scaramuzzi, Mansour Saleki, Robert Cousineau, Kent Abrahamson, Michael Lawless, Marwan Fathallah, Brian Kidd, Robert Boyd, Howard Greene, Eric Navin, Lori Lucke, Benjamin Mullin

Publication number: 20050214129Abstract: A medical pump with a closed loop stroke feedback system and method, for use with a pumping chamber, for example in a cassette, is disclosed. The pump includes a pumping element that intermittently pressurizes a pumping chamber during a pumping cycle. A pressure sensor detects the pressure exerted by the pumping element on the pumping chamber. A position sensor detects the position of the pumping element. A processing unit processes pressure data from the pressure sensor and position data from the position sensor to determine a calculated stroke volume of the pump for a pump cycle, and to adjust a stroke frequency of the pump to compensate for variation in the stroke volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2004Publication date: September 29, 2005Inventors: Howard Greene, Robert Boyd, Michael Lawless, Marwan Fathallah, Mansour Saleki, Brian Kidd, Kent Abrahamson, Robert Cousineau

Patent number: 6942473Abstract: A pump includes a housing defining a tube receiving portion and a blade mounted for reciprocating movement between first and second positions. In its first position, the leading edge of the blade compresses a length of tube against a first surface disposed in the tube-receiving portion, while in the second position, the blade does not compress the tube. The tube-receiving portion can receive the tube directly or indirectly through a tube set detachably mounted to the housing. The tube set includes a tube and a base having first and second end portions that respectively define first and second tube-receiving apertures for slidably receiving a length of the tube therethrough. The base has a first surface constructed to engage the length of tube between the apertures for compression by the pump blade.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2002Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: Hospira, Inc.Inventors: Kent Abrahamson, Colm Clinton, Brendan Duggan, Ricky Fabozzi, Damian Halloran, Philip O'Donnell, Barry Regan
