A special peristaltic pump, designed and manufactured by Verder Autoclude is an important component in a haemodynamic monitoring system from the LiDCO Group.  This purpose designed, portable pump has unique features including single handed occlusion release.Monitoring key cardiovascular parameters is of critical importance to patient outcome.

In tandem with blood pressure and oxygen delivery, cardiac output is one of these vital indicators.  It is the volume of blood pumped through the heart per minute and has been a difficult parameter to measure.  Prior to the LiDCO system the cardiac output was usually determined with a special haemodynamic monitoring device in the form of a long catheter which is introduced into an artery in the neck, chest or groin and advanced through the heart to the pulmonary artery.

With the considerably extended and refined range of Clearpoint V activated carbon adsorbers, compressed-air specialist Beko Technologies now reinforces the system concept of integrated compressed-air processing.As guarantors for an extremely high compressed-air quality with a maximum residual-oil content of only 0.003 mg/m

The water industry is increasingly turning to predictive maintenance as it addresses the challenge of improving asset performance.  Artesis has successfully combined advanced technology with a cost-effective implementation to meet their current and future needs.

The nature of the challenge: There is an increasing pressure on water companies to maximise the performance of their physical assets, a critical factor in optimising shareholder value and customer service.  The water industry regulator (Ofwat) reviews the prices that companies charge, and takes into account the benefits of the capital investments planned and improvements in operating efficiency.

Kittiwake Developments are pleased to announce the launch of the DIGI Insolubles meter.  A unit designed to put on-site, instant and actionable oil condition results in the hands of the engineer.Insolubles are solid Contamination particles often left in oil a result of the build up of combustion related debris and oxidation products.

Insolubles constituents include carbon from incomplete combustion of fuel and, to a lesser extent, lubricants, organic polymers from oxidisation of the lube oil and fuel. They also contain sulphates from combustion of fuel sulphur and reaction with TBN additives and wear metals.

Agility, the market-leading easy-to-use CMMS application from SoftSols, has just broken into the booming Chinese marketplace. The Chinese economy is booming, and more and more Western companies are setting up manufacturing operations there.

One major player is Bookham Technology, a world leader in optical communications. The company

Designed for underwater tension measurement applications, for high humidity conditions and for applications in which occasional submersion due to flooding is likely, a range of miniature, compact, low profile load cells is now available, which can be customised to suit specific applications.

The DDEN Series of load cells from Applied Measurements Ltd measure tensile or compressive forces in underwater locations to a depth of up to 10 metres, although the unit can be customised to operate in even greater depths. The unit is unique in its compactness over a wide capacity range. Even at the top end of the capacity rating of 50kN, the unit dimensions do not change

The Acoustic Emission (AE) technique is based on the detection of the high frequency component of naturally occurring stress waves (or structure borne elastic waves). There was a time when AE was regarded only as a means of monitoring defect growth in stressed materials and structures. Despite numerous instances of its successful application to machinery condition monitoring since the 1960
