  • Patent number: 10814962
    Abstract: An flow body comprises a curved suction skin having a first perforation, a leading edge and two skin sections extending therefrom, wherein each skin section has an outer end facing away from the leading edge, an interior suction duct having a second perforation and extending through an inside of the curved suction skin in a distance from the leading edge, and two sidewall members, connected to the outer ends, wherein the sidewall members are made of a composite material. The suction skin comprises a profiled contour shape, which determines a pressure distribution over at least one of the two skin sections when air flows over the curved suction skin, wherein the pressure distribution comprises a stagnation point, a suction peak and a subsequent local pressure maximum downstream of the suction peak, wherein the first perforation extends from a stagnation point on the suction skin to the local pressure maximum.

  • Patent number: 9968721
    Abstract: A method includes monitoring an indicator of fluid volume of a patient via a sensor device, and setting an initial fluid volume removal prescription for a blood fluid removal session based on the monitored indicator of fluid volume. The method may further include transmitting data regarding the indicator of fluid volume from the implantable sensor device to fluid removal device. The system includes a blood fluid removal device and control electronics configured to set the initial fluid removal volume and rate prescription. In some embodiments, the fluid removal device sets or calculated the initial fluid volume removal prescription based on the data received from the implantable sensor. The indicator of fluid volume may be an indicator of tissue fluid volume or an indicator of blood fluid volume.
