    摘要: Internal shorts and other failures in lithium-ion battery cells may be detected during balancing of the battery cells. A counter may be used to detect when a battery cell is behaving differently than other battery cells by balancing more or less frequently. The counter may increment each time a battery cell is balanced to the other battery cells. A misbehaving battery cell may be flagged, when the counter exceeds a threshold value, for safety checks before an overheating event occurs. This misbehaving battery cell may be faulty due to an internal short. If the faulty battery cell is not corrected by replacement with a different battery cell or corrected by a user resetting the counter, the misbehaving battery cell may be disconnected to prevent the overheating event.

    摘要: A system and method for remotely monitoring power usage from a watt-hour meter or power meter. The system may include a sensor, sensor terminal, and data collection unit. The sensor may be disposed external from the power meter and be consumer installable in an unobstructive position for direct viewing of power meter registers. The sensor terminal may be coupled to the sensor and include a receiver and transmitter operable to receive and transmit information indicative of motion of a rotating disk in the power meter sensed by the sensor. A data collection unit in communication with the sensor terminal may include a display for displaying various information to the consumer, such as current bill and power network notification indicators. The data collection unit may communicate with a service center that performs a power usage analysis to feedback information to the data collection unit for displaying to the consumer.

    摘要: A vascular catheter system comprises a catheter body having a proximal portion with a proximal end, a distal end and work lumen therebetween and a distal portion with a proximal end, a distal end, a work lumen therebetween and a guidewire lumen distal to the work lumen. A first connector is secured to the distal end of the proximal portion and a second connector is secured to the proximal end of the distal portion. The first and second connectors can be selectively connected to each other to join the work lumens of the proximal and distal portions together.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an ultrasound imaging assembly (80) includes a housing (82) having a longitudinal axis (88), a proximal end (86), and a distal ending (84) defining a receptacle (90). The imaging assembly includes a transducer package (60) having a central axis (62) and an imaging surface (66) positioned at a desired angle (106) relative to the central axis. The transducer package is at least partially disposed within the receptacle so that the central axis is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Such a configuration permits a relatively large percentage of the ultrasound signal to pass through a sheath (120) surrounding the imaging assembly and reduces assembly-to-assembly variations.

    摘要: A tool for coaxially loading a flexible member into a lumen of a catheter. Typically, the flexible member is a flexible imaging core or similar device. The tool includes a body which has a connector, which connects the body to a hub located on the catheter. A pair of opposed rollers, disposed proximate to the connector, are used to advance the flexible member, through the connector, and into the catheter, which is connected to the connector. The flexible member is advanced by counter rotating the rollers.
