  • Publication number: 20090030396
    Abstract: An infusion bag according to one exemplary embodiment includes a body having an interior space for holding a fluid. The interior space is defined by a pair of side walls and an inner wall and an opposite bottom wall. The inner wall extends across the body from one side wall to the other side wall such that a first angle ?1 is formed between a first end of the inner wall and one side wall and a second angle ?2 is formed between a second end of the inner wall and the other side wall. The first angle is different from the second angle. The bag also includes a needleless port that is in fluid communication with the interior and is configured to sealingly mate with an external device. The needless port is disposed in an upper corner of the body where the second end of the inner wall intersects the other side wall.

  • Patent number: 4518272
    Abstract: Described is a controlled device such as a printer device, comprising an electrically operated mechanism such as a moveable print head, a scanner for sensing indicia of alignment of the electrically operated mechanism, and an electrical conductor to carry signals by which the mechanism is operated. The electrical conductor is employed to provide the indicia of alignment to be read by the scanner. Included is a description of an electrical conductor which comprises parallel conductive runs made of copper which are spaced apart and supported by a transparent electrically insulative plastic material, thus forming a timing strip on which positional indicia are defined by optical contrast between the runs and the insulative plastic material.
