Title: Flow rate controller for a medication infusion pump
Inventor: INDRAVUDH VIROTE
IPC: F04B43/06
Filed: 1998-02-20
Abstract: A flow rate controller is provided for regulating the flow rate of medication delivered to a patient by an implantable medication infusion pump of the constant flow type, to minimize or prevent flow rate increases attributable to fluctuations in ambient pressure. The   infusion pump comprises an implantable pump housing with a pressurized medication reservoir therein for continuous flow delivery to the patient through a baseline flow path including a restrictor such as a capillary tube. The controller comprises a pressure responsive control valve for connecting a secondary restrictor such as an additional capillary tube in series with the baseline flow path, to prevent undesired increase in the medication flow rate in the event that the patient temporarily encounters a high altitude ambient pressure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a ball cock for a railway vehicle which comprises a main body possessing a primary-side opening and a secondary-side opening which face one another and an air exhaust aperture which is formed between these openings.      Such ball cock further incudes a ball-shaped valve body which is rotatably provided inside such main body and in which there is formed a communication aperture which connects the primary side opening and the secondary-side opening and a side aperture which, consequent to its rotation, connects the air exhaust aperture and either the primary-side or secondary-side opening.      There is formed in the main body's air exhaust aperture a pipe connection to which is be connected a restrictor. In another embodiment a extension pipe is connected to such pipe connection in such air exhaust aperture. Such pipe extension forms a bend portion which causes its opening surface to be positioned lower than a generally horizontal direction when, in accordance with the state in which the main body is fitted to a railway vehicle, its air exhaust aperture is positioned upwardly from such horizontal direction.

Title: Circuit interrupter with plasma arc acceleration chamber and contact arm housing
Inventor: MADING JAMES E
IPC: H01H9/34
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: An electrical circuit interrupter comprising a housing with an operating mechanism disposed therein and including first and second separable main contacts disposed within the housing is taught. There is an electrically conducting first contact support which has a shape which substantially doubles back upon itself and which has parallel, spaced apart first and second legs forming a central region. An electrically insulating support member is supplied which is disposed in the central region and has a substantial portion outboard of the central region in a disposition to shield a portion of the contact support member. It also has a portion which captures the first contact support member. In addition, magnetic plates are disposed within the central region for cooperating with other closed loop magnetic plates outside of the support member for providing a slot motor action for the movable contact. An arc runner is provided which is trapped between the support member and the contact support conductor. All of this is disposed upon a protrusion in the housing of the circuit breaker and held in place by way of a securing device. Lastly, a mandrel is provided for supporting the aforementioned external magnetic plates. The mandrel is gas evolving so that under the influence of the heat of an electrical arc it evolves gas which helps to push the arc out and away from the opening contacts. The aforementioned gas propels the formed arc outwardly away from the contacts in an effort to cool and interrupt the arc.

Inventor: HERRMANN STEVEN M
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 1999-05-11
Abstract: The present invention involves methods and compositions for increasing the susceptibility of target cells to viral infection. Specifically, it is proposed that increasing intracellular permeability in epithelial tissue increases the percentage of input virus that will infect that target tissue. Specific examples show that receptors for retrovirus are preferentially accessible on the basolateral surface of airway epithelia, and permeabilizing such tissues results in greater infection with retrovirus. This has important implications in gene therapy, for example, to treat cystic fibrosis with the CFTR gene.
