  • Infusion Pump System and Method
    Publication number: 20140358112
    Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to provide a desired level of resistance to liquid ingress to the pump casing while contemporaneously providing air transmissibility for equalization of air pressure differentials between the interior and exterior of the pump casing. Further, some embodiments can detect when moisture inside a casing of the infusion pump system is greater than or equal to a threshold level and can initiate one or more patient safety countermeasures.

  • Infusion Pump System and Method
    Publication number: 20140163462
    Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to detect when at least one component of the pump system is exposed to an impact above a threshold level. In particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be equipped with a drive system detection system configured to detect when one or more components of the drive system are damaged or inoperable.

  • Infusion Pump System and Method
    Publication number: 20140025002
    Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to detect when at least one component of the pump system is exposed to an impact above a threshold level. In particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be equipped with an impact detection system that can sense when an impact above the threshold level has occurred to the pump device, which thereby enables the infusion pump system to initiate appropriate patient safety countermeasures.

  • Laser fusion based WDM coupler
    Patent number: 6765172
    Abstract: A method is described that involves scanning a laser beam across and applying a stretching force to a fusion region that is formed by a neighboring pair of optical fibers that include a core and a cladding layer. The scanning and applying occurs while the optical permissiveness of an optical path that flows through the fusion region is monitored.

  • Optical fiber stripping tool
    Patent number: 6643448
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for stripping the coating of an optical fiber. A fixture having a fiber cleat may be used to secure an optical fiber to enable removal of the protective coating from the fiber along a precise length of the fiber. The length of protective coating removal may be controlled by a strip guide. A stop coupled to the apparatus also controls how much of the coating is removed.
