    摘要: Methods and apparatus for quantifying the amount or rate of magnetically susceptible fluid within a gastric lumen are described. In one aspect, a magnetic sensor located external to the patient is configured to detect a quantity of fluid disposed within the gastric lumen. The quantity of fluid may include fluid that is contained upstream with respect to a restriction formed in the gastric lumen (e.g., by a gastric restriction device). The quantity of fluid disposed within the gastric lumen is determined by the magnetic sensor. This quantity may be evaluated over time to then calculate a real time flow rate which can then be displayed to the physician. The methods and devices allow a physician or other trained person to dynamically view real time development of fluid flow within a restricted gastric lumen and may be used in conjunction with adjustments to the gastric restriction device to achieve target or desired flow rates.

    摘要: A sterile fluid delivery system that incorporates a specialized handpiece adapter placed between a standard dental or other medical handpiece and a conventional tube set. The tap water conduit in the conventional tube set is blocked by the handpiece adapter and instead a tube set connected to the adapter provides a supply of sterile fluid for delivery to a work site. A peristaltic pump delivers fluid from a sterile supply to the handpiece adapter. Motor exhaust air pressure from the adapter is applied to the pump to activate a pressure-sensitive switch. The pump automatically turns on when the medical tool is activated and turns off when the tool is deactivated.

    摘要: Intermittent stabilization of a load table supported by pneumatic vibration isolators is provided by determining a load shift condition, increasing passage of gas to the pneumatic vibration isolators and imposing external or internal damping on the load table in response to that load shift condition. For internal damping, the pneumatic vibration isolator is provided with damping fluid in one of its pneumatic chambers and a damping fluid friction passage is provided between that damping fluid in that one pneumatic chamber and the other pneumatic chamber.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a surgical drilling system having a light source for illuminating the treatment area during surgery. The light source is detachably connected to a light guide assembly which is mounted on the handpiece of a surgical drilling system. Light from a lens-end subminiature incandescent bulb is focused on an optical fiber bundle in the light guide assembly. The incandescent bulb generates less heat and has a greater rated life than a halogen bulb with comparable light intensity at the operation site. In one embodiment the light source controller utilizes a switching power regulator with pulse width modulation. The light source controller converts a pulse width modulation signal into a DC voltage. The duty cycle of the signal increases from a minimum to a maximum, thereby providing a soft start for the lamp. In normal operation, the duty cycle creates an average lamp drive voltage which is less than the maximum lamp drive voltage. The soft start and average lamp power extend the useful life of the bulb by reducing the stress on the filament caused by sudden increases in the drive voltage.
