  • Wheeled cart with vibration reduction device, and related systems and methods
    Patent number: 11919154
    Abstract: A method includes moving a stabilization device comprising a stabilization surface relative to a base of a surgical cart, wherein the moving comprises moving the stabilization device from a retracted position in which the stabilization surface is spaced from the ground surface to a deployed position in which the stabilization surface is in contact with the ground surface, and wherein the moving comprises overcoming a biasing force biasing the stabilization device toward the retracted position.

  • Fluid flow control apparatus
    Patent number: 4246922
    Abstract: A plurality of aspirating ejector nozzles are fed with primary fluid which is admitted successively past a modulating valve and throttling orifice to the inlet ports of the nozzles with a portion of the primary fluid being arranged for bypassing the nozzle past a bypass valve controlled by pressure responsive means subject to the pressure of the primary fluid upstream of the throttling orifice.

  • Fluid flow instrumentality
    Patent number: 3999572
    Abstract: A fluid flow control system having a control valve which maintains a constant output flow rate regardless of input flow pressure variations. Three such constant flow valves are disposed in parallel to common inlet and exhaust headers, and hydraulically detented pilot control valves are selectively actuated to vary exhaust flow from the system in discrete steps. A web arrangement in the exhaust header prevents interaction of velocity heads between the flows coming from the three constant flow valves.
