연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

A gases delivery conduit for the supply of humidified medical gases as formed from an extruded plastic tube. The extruded plastic tube includes at least one heating element embedded within the wall of the tube. The heating element includes a pair of electrical conductors separated by a positive temperature coefficient material wherein the localised resistance of the material is positively related to the localised temperature.

What is claimed is: 1. A gases delivery conduit for the supply of humidified medical gases, said conduit comprising: an extruded plastic tube useful for the supply of humidified medical gases to a patient, and at least one healing element embedded within the wall of the tube to be partially or wholly contained within said wall, said heater element including a pair of electrical conductors separated by a positive temperature coefficient ("PTC") material wherein the localised resistance of said material is positively related to the localised temperature, said positive temperature coefficient ("PTC") material having a phase transformation temperature between 28째 C. and 45째 C. 2. A conduit as claimed in claim 1 wherein the cross sectional profile of said extruded plastic tube includes inwardly extending ribs on its inner surface, such that total collapse or total occlusion is not possible during bending. 3. A conduit as claimed in claim 2 wherein the heating element is embedded within the inwardly extending internal ribs of the tube. 4. A conduit as claimed in claim 1 wherein said heating element is an elongate flattened tape at least as long as the tube, and having a width and a thickness, with said width being greater than said thickness. 5. A conduit as claimed in claim 4 wherein said tape includes a said conductor disposed along each of a pair of side edges, with a web of said PTC material spanning between said conductors. 6. A conduit as claimed in claim 4 wherein said tape includes an elongate flattened ribbon of said PTC material with a first face and a second face, a said conductor is distributed over said first face, and another said conductor is distributed over said second face. 7. A conduit as claimed in claim 1 wherein the heating element is spiralled within the tube wall. 8. A conduit as claimed in claim 3 wherein said heating element is an elongate flattened tape at least as long as the tube, and having a width and a thickness, with said width being greater than said thickness. 9. A conduit as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 8 including a connector at each end, at least one said connector having one or more electrical contacts contacting and connecting with one or more of the conductors of said heating elements, said connector having an external connection interface and an electrical connection between each said contact and said external connection interface. 10. A conduit as claimed in claim 9 wherein a said connector has a first said electrical contact contacting and connecting with a first said conductor of each said embedded heating element, and a second said electrical contact contacting and connecting with a second conductor of each said heating element, said first contact and first conductors electrically insulated from said second contact and second conductors apart from through said PTC material. 11. A conduit as claimed in claim 10 wherein said connector with said external connection interface has a gases port configured to make a connection with a mating gases port in a first direction, and said connection interface is configured to make connection with a mating connection interface also in said first direction. 12. A method of manufacturing a conduit for the supply of humidified medical gases comprising: preparing at least one elongate heating element including a pair of electrical conductors separated by a positive temperature coefficient ("PTC") material wherein the localised resistance of said material is positively related to the localised temperature, said positive temperature coefficient ("PTC") material having a phase transformation temperature between 28째 C. and 45째 C. extruding a plastic tube and simultaneously drawing said heating element into the melt of the extruded tube such that the element is embedded within the wall of the tube and captured as the melt solidifies. 13. A method as claimed in claim 12 including spiralling the heating elements within the tube wall by twisting the extruded tube during forming. 14. A method as claimed in claim in claim 12 including moving the points where the heating elements enter the melt of the extruded tube to spiral or braid the heating elements within the tube wall. 15. A method as claimed in claim 12 including, in a continuous process: extruding an inner tube layer, applying said elongate healing element to an outer face of said inner tube layer, and extruding an over tube layer over said inner tube layer to encapsulate said elongate heating element between said inner layer and said outer layer. 16. A method as claimed in claim 12 including the further steps of: (a) removing tube material to exposed conductors of the heating elements; and (b) sliding a connector over the trimmed and untrimmed section of the conduit to completely cover the exposed conductors, said connector including at least one electrical contact on its inner surface, which thereby comes into contact with said exposed conductors. 17. A method as claimed in claim 16 including, between steps (a) and (b), the further step of: bending back one of the exposed conductors of said heating element over the untrimmed section of said tube; and wherein at step (b) said connector includes at least a pair of contacts on its inner surface, with a said contact arranged to contact the bent back conductor of said heating element and another said contact arranged to contact the other conductor of said heating element. 18. A method of terminating an extruded plastic tube with an embedded heating element, the heating element including a pair of electrical conductors separated by a positive temperature coefficient ("PTC") material wherein the localised resistance of said material is positively related to the localised temperature, the method comprising the steps of: (a) removing tube material to expose conductors of the heating element, and (b) sliding a connector over the trimmed and untrimmed section of the conduit to completely cover the exposed conductors, said connector including at least one electrical contact on its inner surface, which thereby come into contact with said exposed conductors. 19. A method as claimed in claim 18 including, between steps (a) and (b), the further step of: bending back one of the exposed conductors of said heating element over the untrimmed section of said tube; and wherein at step (b) said connector includes at least a pair of contacts on its inner surface, with a said contact arranged to contact the bent back conductor of said heating element and another said contact arranged to contact the other conductor of said heating element.
