  • Publication number: 20150045700
    Abstract: Systems for monitoring patient activity and associated methods and systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the system can be configured to receive data indicative of motion of a joint acquired by a sensor positioned proximate a patient's joint. The system can detect patterns in the acquired data, and match corresponding patient activities to the detected patterns. The system can generate a report listing the patient activities, which can be transmitted to the patient's medical practitioner.

  • Patent number: 6938586
    Abstract: A valve for automatically and proportionally adjusting fluid flow between an engine and a radiator for cooling the fluid heated by the engine in response to changes in fluid temperature within a range of operating temperatures. The valve includes a housing having a chamber. The housing includes a radiator flow port for passing fluid between the radiator and the chamber. A vane pivotally disposed in the chamber has a vane wall engagable with the radiator port for restricting fluid flow. A drive assembly is operatively coupled to the vane for varying the position of the vane within the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20040083987
    Abstract: A valve for automatically and proportionally adjusting fluid flow between an engine and a radiator for cooling the fluid heated by the engine in response to changes in fluid temperature within a range of operating temperatures. The valve includes a housing having a chamber. The housing includes a radiator flow port for passing fluid between the radiator and the chamber, a bypass flow port for passing fluid between the engine and the chamber, and an engine flow port for passing fluid between the chamber and the engine. A vane disposed in the chamber has a vane wall engagable with both the radiator and bypass fluid ports for restricting fluid flow through the radiator and bypass fluid ports. The vane is pivotally coupled to the housing for movement between the radiator and bypass fluid ports. A drive assembly is operatively coupled to the vane for varying the position of the vane within the chamber.
