Medical Treatment Device With A User Interface Adapted For Home Or Limited Care Environments

View page
US Patent:
59032111, May 11, 1999
Filed:
Feb 7, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/796971
Inventors:
Steven E. Flego - Portland OR
Mark E. Connell - Sandy OR
Assignee:
Althin Medical, Inc. - Miami Lakes FL
International Classification:
G08B13/02
US Classification:
34028607
Abstract:
A medical treatment device is disclosed that utilizes an entertainment displays such as a standard television set, to control the medical treatment device. For example, alarm conditions may be displayed and a user (such as a patient) can respond to such alarm conditions. During an uneventful treatment, the patient can view programs (e. g. , television programs) on the entertainment display. The medical treatment device can override the entertainment program and cause the entertainment display to display information related to operation or status of the medical treatment device. The medical treatment device can also include a user input (e. g. , keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc. ) allowing the patient to move a selector image being displayed by the entertainment display to enable the patient to control the medical treatment device.

Inductive-Load Power Control Circuit

US Patent:
43374301, Jun 29, 1982
Filed:
Jan 26, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/228324
Inventors:
Steven E. Flego - Portland OR
Assignee:
Electronics Diversified, Inc. - Portland OR
International Classification:
G05F 500
US Classification:
323323
Abstract:
A circuit for controlling power delivery to different AC inductive loads, which loads create different respective lag angles between applied voltage and delivered current up to a known maximum lag angle. Included is a switching circuit, typically including silicon-controlled rectifiers, connected to the load. The switching circuit is trigger-pulse-switched into conduction, and thereafter maintained in conduction so long as current through the load exceeds a certain minimum value. Additionally, a trigger-pulse generator connected to the switching circuit operates in two modes. In one mode, the conduction angle is less than a predetermined maximum width which is no less than the maximum lag angle. In this mode, a pulse is generated whose width is essentially equal to the conduction angle. In the other mode, the conduction angle is no less than the maximum width, and the generated pulse has a fixed width substantially equaling the maximum width.

US Patent:
20220219455, Jul 14, 2022
Filed:
Nov 29, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/536353
Inventors:
- Pittsburgh PA, US
Steven E. Flego - Portland OR, US
Charles C. Haluzak - Philomath OR, US
John Whitlock - Pittsburgh PA, US
Eric R. Miller - Seattle WA, US
Glenn J.T. Leighton - South Yorkshire, GB
Charles Gilson - Philomath OR, US
International Classification:
B41J 2/14
Abstract:
A micro-valve includes an orifice plate including an orifice. The micro-valve further includes an actuating beam having a first end and a second end. The actuating beam also includes a base layer and a layer of piezoelectric material disposed on the base layer, a bottom electrode layer, and a top electrode layer. At an electrical connection portion of the actuating beam, the layer of piezoelectric material includes a first via, and a portion of the top electrode layer disposed within the first via, and a portion of the bottom electrode disposed beneath the first via. The actuating beam includes a base portion extending from the electrical connection portion and a cantilevered portion extending from the base portion. The cantilevered portion is movable in response to application of a differential electrical signal between the bottom electrode layer and the top electrode layer to one of open or close the micro-valve.

US Patent:
20190344564, Nov 14, 2019
Filed:
May 9, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/407487
Inventors:
- Pittsburgh PA, US
Steven E. Flego - Portland OR, US
Charles C. Haluzak - Philomath OR, US
John Whitlock - Pittsburgh PA, US
Eric R. Miller - Seattle WA, US
Ken Trueba - Pittsburgh PA, US
Jeff Hess - Corvallis OR, US
International Classification:
B41J 2/045
Abstract:
A marking system includes a valve body including an orifice plate including multiple orifices and multiple micro-valves. Each micro-valve includes an actuating beam movable from a closed position in which a corresponding one of the orifices is sealed by a portion of the actuating beam such that the micro-valve is closed, into a peak position in response to application of a control signal. A controller is configured to generate a control signal for each of the actuating beams, each control signal including a drive pulse having a predetermined voltage such that the actuating beam moves from the closed position into the peak position in which the corresponding orifice is open and returns to the closed position in a characteristic period, wherein the drive pulse has a duration that substantially corresponds to the characteristic period such that the actuating beam is in the closed position after the drive pulse is complete.

US Patent:
20190344568, Nov 14, 2019
Filed:
May 9, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/407476
Inventors:
- Pittsburgh PA, US
Steven E. Flego - Portland OR, US
Charles C. Haluzak - Philomath OR, US
John Whitlock - Pittsburgh PA, US
Eric R. Miller - Seattle WA, US
Glenn J.T. Leighton - South Yorkshire, GB
International Classification:
B41J 2/16
F16K 99/00
Abstract:
A method of constructing a micro-valve includes providing a substrate for an actuating beam of the micro-valve, the substrate including a first surface and a second surface. The method also includes forming a plurality of constituent layers on the first surface of the actuating beam, including a layer of piezoelectric material. The method also includes removing a portion of the substrate from at least one of the first surface or the second surface to define a cantilevered portion of the actuating beam. The method also includes providing an orifice plate including an orifice. The method also includes providing a valve seat on a surface of the orifice plate, the valve seat having an opening aligned with the orifice. The method also includes attaching the surface of the orifice plate to the second surface via an adhesive such that an overlapping portion of the cantilevered portion overlaps the orifice.

International Classification:
F16K 11/02
F16K 31/00
F16K 99/00
Abstract:
A micro-valve includes an orifice plate having a first surface, a second surface and an orifice extending from the first surface to the second surface. An actuating beam is disposed in spaced relation to the orifice plate. The actuating beam includes a base portion and a cantilevered portion. The base portion is separated from the orifice plate by a predetermined distance. The cantilevered portion extends from the base portion such that an overlapping portion thereof overlaps the orifice. The actuating beam is movable between a closed position and an open position. The micro-valve also includes a sealing structure including a sealing member disposed at the overlapping portion of the cantilevered portion. When the actuating beam is in the closed position, the cantilevered portion is positioned such that the sealing structure seals the orifice so as to close the micro-valve.

International Classification:
F16K 99/00
F16K 31/00
F16K 25/02
Abstract:
A micro-valve includes an orifice plate including a first surface and a second surface, and an orifice extending from the first surface to the second surface. The micro-valve also includes a spacing member disposed on the first surface and offset from the orifice, a valve seat disposed on the first surface. The valve seat defines an opening in fluid communication with the orifice in a flow direction. The micro-valve also includes an actuating beam disposed on the spacing member extending from the spacing member toward the orifice, the actuating beam being moveable between an open position and a closed position. The micro-valve also includes a sealing member affixed to an end portion of the actuating beam. In a closed position, a sealing surface of the sealing member contacts the valve seat to close the micro-valve.
