Abstract: A method of operating a personalized document processing system that is configured to process a plurality of personalized documents under a subscription plan is provided. The method includes a controller of the personalized document processing system receiving a subscription plan key code. The method also includes the controller verifying the subscription plan key code. Also, the method includes determining and setting a subscription threshold for a processing module of the personalized document processing system based on the subscription plan key code. The processing module is configured to perform a processing operation on one or more of the plurality of personalized documents. Further, the method includes tracking operation of the processing module to determine whether the subscription threshold has been reached. Moreover, the method includes adjusting operation of the processing module when the subscription threshold has been reached.

Abstract: A medical fluid infusion system includes a pump system configured to deliver a fluid drug to a patient. The system includes a pump, such as a piston pump, for driving fluid to a patient. One or more pressure sensors are configured to measure and detect changes in fluid pressure in a fluid flow line of the infusion system. The changes in fluid pressure, when detected, can be an indication of proper or improper functioning of a valve system of the pump system of the fluid infusion system.

Abstract: A syringe adapter for holding various sizes of syringes. A syringe includes a tip, a barrel, a plunger, a flange, and a syringe axis extending from the tip to the plunger. An example syringe holder attaches to a fluid delivery system and includes a syringe clamp. The syringe holder holds a syringe stationary in the syringe clamp. The syringe clamp is offset from the fluid delivery system such that the syringe, or connections to the syringe, does not interfere with other components of the fluid delivery system. The syringe holder may include a support bar, which the syringe clamp can slide along. Alternatively, the syringe clamp may be rotatable.

Abstract: A connector valve for use with an infusion set. The connector valve includes a body defining a chamber. The body includes a primary inlet, a secondary inlet, and an outlet. The connector valve includes a compressible member within the chamber that compresses from an uncompressed state to a compressed state. The connector valve includes a resilient member within the chamber that engages with the compressible member. The resilient member moves from an open configuration when the compressible member is in the uncompressed state to an occluding configuration when the compressible member is in the compressed state. The resilient member in the open configuration permits a bidirectional primary fluid flow between the primary inlet and the outlet, and the resilient member in the occluding configuration permits a bidirectional secondary fluid flow between the secondary inlet and the outlet, and unidirectional primary fluid flow from the primary inlet to the outlet.

Abstract: A medical fluid infusion system includes a pump system configured to deliver a fluid drug to a patient. The system includes a device and method for detecting when the level of a fluid in a fluid supply container (such as an IV bag) is exhausted or near exhausted.

Abstract: A low profile, high capacity, high performance disk drive includes a plurality of disk surfaces mounted in parallel for simultaneous rotation about an axis. Each of a plurality of data transducer heads for reading and/or writing data to the data surfaces is attached to a slider. A stacked arm actuator for moving the data transducer heads in a radial direction across the disk surfaces includes a supporting arm and a suspension load beam attached to the supporting arm. The suspension load beam connects the supporting arm to the slider. The suspension load beam includes a load dimple bearing on the slider and has opposed stiffening flanges extending in a plane adjacent the slider. The actuator includes a stack of 9 head arm suspension assemblies and the stack has a height of 16.634 mm. An interdisk spacing of less than 1.4 mm provides a height dimension of 14.635 for a stack of 8 disks.
