80 results about "Mean pressure" patented technology

Pressure is an expression of force exerted on a surface per unit area. The standard unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), equivalent to one newton per meter squared (N/m 2 or N · m -2 ). ... The pressure of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level is approximately 10 5 Pa. A unit of 100 Pa is known as a millibar (mb); atmospheric pressure is generally about 1,000 mb at sea level.

Physiologically based control system and method for using the same

A device and method for maintaining a constant average pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of a pump for a body fluid, leading to an adequate flow for different pathological and physiological conditions, is described. The device and method allow for automatic adjustment of the pump operation to increase or decrease the flow rate of a body fluid to meet the physiological demand of the patient. The device and method also allow the physiological constraints on the pump to be accounted for, preventing suction and minimizing back flow of the body fluid. The device and method allow implicit synchronization of the pump with the natural regulatory mechanism for meeting patient's demand. The natural regulatory system continuously adjusts the parameters of the circulatory system to meet physiological demand for a body fluid. Maintaining constant pressure differential between the inlet and outlet of a pump, or a part of the body leads to the adaptation of the flow rate of the body fluid to physiological changes in response to the patient's clinical or physiological conditions.
