20090091905CONTACT PRESSURE ANALYSIS TOOL - A method for improving load balance involves obtaining a graphical representation of a load distribution for contacts in an integrated circuit stack, analyzing the graphical representation of the load distribution to determine contact loads, where a contact load corresponds to a contact, and designing at least one component of the integrated circuit stack, based on the contact loads.04-09-2009
20100165578Heat Sink Mount for Providing Non-Rigid Support of Overhanging Portions of Heat Sink - A computer adapted for force-air cooling of a processor. The computer includes a board supporting the processor and a heat sink mounted such with its base plate contacting the processor. A primary mount supports the heat sink near the processor, and a portion of the heat sink base plate extends outward a distance or overhang length from the primary mount to an edge. The apparatus includes a secondary heat sink mounting assembly supported upon the processor board that includes a damping element with an resilient body positioned proximate to the edge of the base plate, whereby the body abuts the base plate during movement of the base plate toward the board, e.g., upon application of a dynamic or shock load that causes the overhanging portions of the base plate of the heat sink to vibrate or oscillate about the support locations of the primary mount.07-01-2010

20100089806EXTRACORPOREAL BLOOD THERAPY APPARATUS CONTROL UNIT HOUSING WITH REMOVABLE PANELS AND MANUALLY OPERATED PANEL ENGAGING COMPONENTS - An extracorporeal blood therapy control unit housing has a first and second manually mounted panels and spring loaded components configured for releasably engaging and tensioning the said panels against a side of said housing. The first and second panels have arch-shaped tubing segments mounted on the interior side of said respective panels. Each of the tubing segments are held in operational engagement with a different peristaltic pump rotor by the panel engaging and tensioning components.04-15-2010
20100094192REMOVABLE MULTIPLE PANEL ASSEMBLY WITH BLOOD SUPPLY AND FLUID TUBING FOR HEMOFILTRATION APPARATUS - A panel assembly for being manually mounted on a blood therapy apparatus is characterized by three panels, a center panel configured for manually securing a hemofilter cartridge and opposite side panels, hingedly connected to the center panel. The side panels have generally flat, planar interior surfaces defined by a rim extending around its perimeter. Tubing is secured along and adjacent to the interior panel surfaces, which are also provided with tubing supports having slanted tubing channels for supporting arched pump rotor engaging tubing sections and prevent tubing droop.04-15-2010
20100094194BAG HANGER ASSEMBLY FOR BLOOD THERAPY APPARATUS - In a blood therapy apparatus having a load cell sensor and a coupler for securing a load, a bag thereon is characterized by a free hanging link hanging from the coupler, and a bag hanger comprising an elongated rod having a plurality of bag engaging hooks and upwardly extending hook secured at the weight center of the rod and freely hanging from the links.04-15-2010
20100121246MODULAR HEMOFILTRATION APPARATUS WITH INTERACTIVE OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTROL SYSTEM - An apparatus for carrying out selected fluid management and/or renal replacement patient therapy is characterized by an interactive operator control system having operator inputs for selectively changing a panel kit, replacing a filter cartridge, and/or changing to a different patient therapy during a currently running patient therapy, and providing operator instructions for carrying out tasks for completing same. In one embodiment, the interactive operator control system is also characterized by automatically serially identifying different setup steps to be carried out during system setup, displaying the successive steps substantially throughout the system setup as well as displaying on the operator interface screen sequential tasks to be carried out for each of the different setup steps.05-13-2010
