Medical pressure pump design
Reviewing a prototype medical pressure pump, Xi identified the main noise and vibration sources and set out a clear development strategy to make the device quieter and more comfortable for patients.
-
Sensitive equipment in hospitals
For a new pathology unit beside a busy road, Xi quantified ground borne vibration and compared it with limits for sensitive equipment, allowing the hospital to proceed with confidence in its microscope performance.
-
Design of a tool vibration monitor
By developing the HAVmeter tool vibration monitor, Xi brought electronics into the tough construction environment, giving workers and employers a simple way to understand and control vibration risk.
