Title: Anti-inversion trocar seal
Inventor: TAYLOR SCOTT V
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: The invention is directed to a trocar seal adapted to form a seal around a surgical instrument, the trocar seal comprising a housing having an axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end and forming a working channel sized and configured to receive the surgical instrument; an elastomeric septum seal having a proximal face and a distal face, the septum seal being disposed in the housing and extending transverse to the axis of the housing across the working channel; portions of the septum seal defining a hole having a diameter less than or equal to the diameter of the surgical instrument so that during insertion of the instrument along the working channel the septum seal forms a seal with the instrument; and at least one structure formed integrally with or proximate to the septum seal to prevent inversion of the septum seal upon withdrawal of the surgical instrument. The septum seal or the housing may further comprise a sidewall to include the structure extending from the sidewall to the distal face of the seal to tether the seal distally. The structure may be integrally formed with the proximal face of the septum seal to reinforce the seal, or the structure may be integrally formed with the distal face of the septum seal to tether the seal distally. The structure may be an annular reinforcement or rib, and is formed so as to allow side-to-side movement or floatation of the seal. The trocar seal may further comprise a plurality of radially extending ribs formed on the proximal or distal face of the septum seal to reinforce the seal.

Title: Method and system for detecting a boundary crossing for embedded devices in vehicle
Inventor: SANQUNETTI DOUGLAS R
IPC: G06T3/60
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: Techniques for detecting boundary crossings may involve the use of rectangles that approximate a boundary. Data defining the rectangles may be retrieved, and a current location of a monitored device may be identified. The current location may be compared with the rectangles, and a determination that the current location is located within a rectangle may indicate a boundary crossing. To simplify the calculations on the monitored device, certain calculations may be performed in advance. For example, an angle between a selected side of a particular rectangle and an axis of the coordinate system may be determined, and the particular rectangle may be rotated by the angle to orient the rotated rectangle parallel to the axis of the coordinate system.  Subsequently, location coordinates for a monitored device may be rotated and compared with a corresponding rotated rectangle to determine whether the monitored device is located within the particular rectangle.

Title: Spring brake internal venting
Inventor: EHRLICH RODNEY P
IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 2006-11-23
Abstract: A brake actuator redirects pressurized air that compressed a parking brake spring to the other side of a piston upon release of the parking brake spring. The redirected air is clean air which removes contaminates and pushes them out a one-way check exhaust. A  first embodiment of the brake actuator uses an external quick release valve to take exhaust air from a pressure chamber and direct it to the spring chamber. A second embodiment of the brake actuator uses the spring brake control valve to take exhaust air from the pressure chamber and direct it to the spring chamber. In each embodiment, the pressurized air pushes out the excess air past the one-way check exhaust, carrying all contaminates with it. The brake actuator can also advantageously be operated under water without the water entering the spring chamber.
