Control of Flow Limitation in Flexible Tubes

This paper proposes a new Starling resistor architecture to control flow limitation in flexible tubes by introducing a needle valve to restrict inlet flow. The new architecture is able to separately control the activation pressure and the flow rate: The tube geometry determines the activation pressu...
