Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080306344Surgical retractor securing device with capture assembly - A resilient compressive surgical retractor securing device with capture assembly includes a compressive securing device that compressively joins the resilient compressive surgical retractor securing device with capture assembly to a surgical accessory bar of a halo style head fixation device and a capture assembly that releasably retains the elasticized band of a scalp hook retractor. The compressive securing device is formed with an arm that is configured to form a neck for receiving the surgical accessory bar or other external support between the arm and the compressive securing device. The arm may be resilient or non-resilient, and may employ releasable closures to close the neck. The capture assembly may include a pivotable cam that releasably retains the elasticized band of a scalp hook retractor by compressing the band between the cam and the surgical accessory bar or other external support.12-11-2008

20120004644PLEURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM LOCKING DILATOR - In one embodiment, a locking connector for a pleural access valve comprises an elongated access tip operable for engaging a lumen in a pleural access valve, the elongated access tip defining an internal lumen and the elongated access tip having a radial ridge. The locking connector also comprises a handle section connected with the elongated access tip and substantially concentric to the elongated access tip, the handle section having a first end and a second end, the first end defining an opening in fluid communication with the internal lumen of the elongated access tip, the handle section further comprising at least one support arm extending between the first end and the second end of the handle section. The locking connector also comprises a latch arm connected with the second end of the handle section, the latch arm being substantially concentric and spaced from the elongated access tip, the latch arm defining a notch for engaging a detent on a pleural access valve, wherein the at least one support arm defines an opening and the radial ridge is viewable through the opening.01-05-2012

20100300683Real Time Pump Monitoring - A system and method for monitoring operation of a pump are disclosed herein. The methods and systems make use of acoustic sensors to collect and analyze data in order to detect cavitation. The disclosed methods and systems may also be used to detect valve damage. The pump may be a positive displacement pump that is employed in a wellbore servicing operation such as pumping a wellbore servicing fluid into a wellbore.12-02-2010
20110125332Systems and Methods for Specifying an Operational Parameter for a Pumping System - Systems and methods for specifying one or more operational parameters for a pumping system are disclosed. A first suction pressure loss profile for a first pump in a pumping system is determined. A second suction pressure loss profile for a second pump in the pumping system is determined. The first suction pressure loss profile is compared with the second suction pressure loss profile. One or more operational parameters are specified based, at least in part, on the comparison.05-26-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120125636REMOTE OPERATION OF A ROTATING CONTROL DEVICE BEARING CLAMP - An RCD can include a housing assembly containing a bearing assembly and a rotating seal which seals an annulus between a tubular string and a body of the RCD, and a remotely operable clamp device which selectively permits and prevents displacement of the housing assembly relative to the body. A method of remotely operating a clamp device can include rotating a threaded member which is secured relative to an RCD body, and displacing a clamp section in response to the threaded member rotation, thereby selectively securing and releasing a bearing assembly and an annular seal relative to the body. Another RCD can include a rotating seal which seals an annulus between a tubular string and a body of the RCD, and a remotely operable clamp device which selectively permits and prevents access to an interior of the body, the clamp device including a motor which rotates a threaded member.05-24-2012

20110238022CORPOREAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM - A system and method for collecting fluid from a patient is disclosed. The system includes two plates separated by restoring force providing members and straps allowing the system to be placed in expanded and compressed modes. The system is a single use system that prevents the re-use of the system once it has been drained of collected fluid. Methods for fabricating the system are also disclosed, including a method that bonds two plates together to create an assembled version of the system.09-29-2011
