    摘要: A sensor for detecting contact of a fluid delivery probe with a fluid surface and for detecting fluid flow through the probe includes a first electrode disposed along a fluid flow path of the probe upstream from a distal tip of the probe and a second electrode longitudinally spaced and electrically isolated from the first electrode and disposed at the distal tip of the probe. An oscillating signal is transmitted through the first electrode, and at least a portion of the signal is received through the second electrode. Through changes in the received signal due to the distal tip of the probe coming into contact with a fluid surface or due to fluid flow through the conduit between the first and second electrodes, fluid surface contact and fluid flow can be detected. A pressure sensor can be employed to monitor internal fluid pressure within the fluid conduit of the fluid delivery probe as a secondary, redundant mechanism for detecting fluid flow through the conduit.

    摘要: A number of embodiments of a support for a portion of a limb of a user are described. In one embodiment, the support comprises a frame, and a platform movably connected with the frame such that the platform is variably positionable with respect to the frame. A supporting member is constructed to simultaneously support a wrist and a portion of an arm of the user. A supporting member bearing structure connects the platform with the supporting member such that the supporting member is multi-directionally movable with respect to the frame and the platform.
