    摘要: Prosthetic heart valves having a single occluder, or a pair of identical mating occluders, guided in their movement from the open to the closed position by pairs of elongated slots in diametrically opposed flat sidewall sections of the valve body. Each occluder is formed with two ears that protrude from opposite flat side surfaces along the lateral edges thereof. The ears may be frustoconical or hemispherical or the like and are slidingly received in elongated slots which can be straight or arcuate. The main body portions of the occluders have rectilinear surfaces that are aligned parallel to the centerline through the valve in the open position, so as to give low resistance to blood flow. However, when the backflow of blood displaces the occluders upstream, the slot arrangements are such that even though the occluder bodies are parallel, pivoting towards the closed position orientation begins essentially immediately, and the closing movement is of short duration so as to minimize regurgitation.

    摘要: Heart valves, particularly those having two identical leaflets, are shown which utilize improved pivot arrangements that create prompt response to flow reversal and minimize impact at the instant of closing. Illustrated are valves having pairs of leaflets that can assume an orientation in the fully open position that is precisely parallel to the centerline of the passageway, yet which will promptly respond upon blood flow reversal and quickly close to prevent substantial regurgitation. The ability of the leaflets to assume a precisely parallel or low energy position in the bloodstream reduces pressure drop across the valve and results in improved flow characteristics. Prompt closing movement pivoting from a parallel position is effected by creating a camming action adjacent the upstream edges of the leaflets while positively guiding the overall path of leaflet translation and rotation by interengagement at other locations spaced from the upstream edges. The pivot arrangements are particularly effective to positively guide the leaflets to assure effective closing movement regardless of momentary deviations in the dynamics of the reverse flow of blood through the valve.

    摘要: Bi-leaflet and single occluder heart valves have improved pivot arrangements that create quick valve response to flow reversal and minimize impact. Valve members or occluders, which are slidably and pivotally mounted in a heart valve body, can be aligned precisely parallel to blood flow in the open position. Lugs on the valve members engage surfaces on projections extending radially inward from flat wall sections in the valve body sidewall, and the shape and relationship of these interengaging surfaces provide prompt initial rotation, low wear and reduced impact upon closing. Laterally directed ears engage the valve body arcuate sidewall and assist in defining the path of closing movement.

    摘要: A "closed-loop" moisture control system for use in vibratory mass finishing systems. A substantially constant amount of a grinding and/or polishing slurry is maintained in a finishing reservoir of the vibratory mass finishing system by controlling the amount of such fluid flowing from a supply reservoir into the finishing reservoir, and/or the amount of such fluid flowing from the finishing reservoir into a collection reservoir. In operation, a total weight of the supply reservoir and its contents, and of the collection reservoir and its contents is monitored and, in the event there is an increase in the total weight, a control means increases the amount of polishing fluid flowing from the supply reservoir into the finishing reservoir, and/or decreases the amount of polishing fluid flowing from the finishing reservoir into the collection reservoir. Conversely, in the event there is a decrease in the total weight, the control means decreases the amount of polishing fluid flowing from the supply reservoir into the finishing reservoir, and/or increases the amount of polishing fluid flowing from the finishing reservoir into the collection reservoir.

    摘要: Pyrolytic carbon of extremely uniform crystalline characteristics and essentially free of discontinuities is obtained in a fluidized bed coater by creating an asymmetric recirculation of the fluidized bed within the high temperature coating chamber. Through the use of any of a variety of gas injection schemes, fluidizing/coating gas mixtures are injected through the three-dimensionally curved concave bottom surface of the coater to create a pattern where the fluidized bed ascends within about one-half of the volume of the coater and then spills over to become a descending bed in the other half.

    摘要: A coating-fluidizing gas supply system for a flat-bottom fluidized bed coater that maintains a high degree of uniform fluidization of levitated particles for a long enough time period to coat medical-device components. The coating-fluidizing gas supply system prevents premature pyrolysis of the coating component of the gas from plugging gas-distributor holes of a flat plate at the bottom of a flat-bottom fluidized bed coater, by directing multiple gas streams uniformly against the entire undersurface of the flat gas-distributor plate, creating an overall cooling-effect on the gas-distributor plate which prevents clogging.

    摘要: Deposition of a pyrocarbon coating of precise thickness onto one or more substrates being levitated along with a bed of particles in a fluidized bed coating enclosure is accomplished by varying the amount of hydrocarbon supplied to the bed as a part of an upward levitating flow to compensate for changes which are detected in the size of the fluidized bed. Increases and decreases in the size of the bed are detected by monitoring either the differential pressure above and below the bed or the weight of the bed, and compensating changes are made to return the bed to its desired size by changing the flow rate of hydrocarbon. For example, when a growth in bed size is detected that is not attributable to an aberration in either particle supply or withdrawal, the amount of hydrocarbon being supplied to the bed is decreased so as to cause the size of the bed to gradually return to its desired value.

    摘要: Precise control of pyrocarbon being coated upon an object in a fluidized particle bed is achieved by monitoring the weight change of the fluidized particle bed over a period of time. Measurement of such weight change is truly representative of bed size in such a coater, which is a most important factor in achieving the desired characteristics of the pyrocarbon being deposited. By monitoring the bed size by repeatedly determining such changes in the weight, compensating adjustments are made by either adding additional particles to the bed or by changing the rate at which particles are withdrawn so that precise coating characteristics are achieved, and coatings can be deposited within very close thickness tolerances.
