Suction detection on an axial blood pump using bemf data

The presence or absence of a suction condition in an implantable blood pump is determined at least in part based on a parameter related to flow, such as a parameter related to thrust on the rotor of the pump. A local extreme of the parameter representing the minimum flow during ventricular diastole in an earlier interval is used to establish a threshold value. A value of the parameter representing the minimum flow during ventricular diastole in a later interval is compared to this threshold. If the comparison indicates a substantial decline in the minimum flow between the earlier and later intervals is associated with a suction condition. During the absence of a suction condition, the threshold is continually updated, so that the system does not indicate presence of a suction condition if the flow decreases gradually.

Coolant motor fan drive

The control of the coolant flow is accomplished through valving or by adjusting the pumping speed of a water pump and a water motor, or a combination of all three elements. During normal operation, where engine cooling is not required, the speed control coupling maintains a slow and constant water pump speed at all engine-operating speeds. The valve is maintained to stop coolant flow from entering the radiator while allowing coolant to flow through a heater. If engine cooling is required, the valve is actuated such that coolant is circulated to the engine and through the radiator. If air conditioning is required, the speed control coupling simply increases the water pump speed and the fan speed while the valve is set to bypass coolant flow to the engine. If air conditioning and engine cooling are required, the valve is actuated to allow coolant flow to the engine.

Alternate polymer extrusion method with reduced drool

An alternate polymer extrusion method and system reduces “drool” effects that detract from precise control over the content of two or more materials in an extrudate along its length. In the system, two or more extruders direct melt to two or more gear pumps. Control of the speed of the gear pumps controls the amount of each material emergent from the pumps, proceeding to a convergence in the paths from the pumps and thence to a die. Melt in each path between each pump and the convergence tends to expand and drool into the convergence as its associated pump is slowed and stopped. To prevent this, in the die, a constriction in each path just upstream of the convergence greatly reduces drool past that point by requiring a much greater pressure to force the melt past the constriction. The increased pressure required increases compression and expansion of the melt between the pump and the construction as a pump starts or increases in speed, on one hand, and stop or decreases in speed, on the other hand. Compensatory pump speed changes are made to counter this effect.
