Title: Method and apparatus for forming carton opening arrangement, and cartons made thereby
Inventor: DOYLE ERIC P
IPC: B65D33/20
Filed: 1992-12-08
Granted: 1994-05-12
Abstract: A process for forming an easy-opening arrangement for gable-top cartons is described. A tape is applied to the inside of the pouring spout in order to stiffen the panels, while reducing the force required to separate the thermoplastic seal. The tape is bonded to the thermoplastic surface layer of the carton by an adhesive. During the hot air heating of the carton top prior to sealing, the area where the tape is located is not exposed to the hot air. During closing of the sealing jaws, surfaces on the opposed faces of the sealing jaw urge the adhesive into the space above the edge of the pouring spout to form an impermeable seal. The location of the tape on the carton blank and the apparatus for heating and sealing the carton are also described.

Title: Intraluminal manipulator
Inventor: ORTIZ MARK
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1993-11-15
Granted: 1996-04-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an intraluminal manipulator which extends into a lumen and is operable to position and manipulate the tissue surrounding the lumen as necessary during a medical procedure. The manipulator includes a head, a handle and an interconnecting shaft. A pair of cables extend through the shaft and interconnect the head and handle. Movement of a trigger provided by the handle moves the head, which is formed by a series of articulated links, between generally straight and arched configurations. Movement of the trigger in one direction moves the head from a straightened to an arched configuration, while movement in an opposite direction moves the head from the arched to the straightened configuration. When placed in the straight configuration, the head is insertable into and removable from the lumen. When the head is in the arched configuration, it engages the walls surrounding and defining the lumen and can thereafter be used to manipulate the tissue. A fiber optic bundle is provided to allow remote visualization of the lumen, and an expandable balloon is used to provide a better frictional engagement between the head and the tissue defining the lumen.

Title: Direct use of sulfur-bearing nickel concentrate in making Ni alloyed stainless steel
Inventor: KUNDRAT DAVID M
IPC: C21B13/10
Filed: 1996-06-04
Granted: 1999-02-04
Abstract: A process for obtaining Ni units from sulfur-bearing nickel concentrate during refining a nickel-alloyed steel or a stainless steel. Sulfur of the concentrate is transferred to and held within the slag by controlling slag composition and temperature, degree of mixing of the slag with the bath by an inert gas and aluminum level in the bath. The extent of desulfurization by the slag, the slag weight and the steel sulfur specification determine the amount of concentrate that can be added to the bath. The ratio of the slag weight to the iron bath weight should be in the range of 0.10-0.30 and the bath temperature is maintained between 1550-1700 DEG C. The slag basicity is controlled between 1.0 and 3.5, the composition of Al2O3 in the slag is maintained between 15-25 wt. % and the composition of MgO is maintained between 12-20 wt. %.

Title: Method for antibody targeting of diagnostic or therapeutic agents
Inventor: HANSEN HANS JOHN
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1989-12-11
Granted: 1994-06-09
Abstract: The targeting capability of an antibody is enhanced using an antibody-enzyme conjugate and a separate soluble substrate-agent conjugate, wherein the targeted enzyme catalyzes the conversion of a soluble substrate, bearing at least one therapeutic or diagnostic agent, to a product comprising the agent, which accumulates at the target site for effective treatment or diagnosis. This method is useful for targeting any type of agent to a site to which an antibody can selectively bind, including use for imaging, e.g. tumors, infectious lesions, fibrin clots, myocardial infarctions, non-cancerous cells, damaged normal cells, atherosclerotic plaque, lymphocyte autoreactive clones, and for therapy, e.g. with drugs, toxins, immune modulators, radioisotopes or antibiotics.

Abstract: A hypodermic syringe (10) with a selectively retractable needle (12) includes an elongate barrel (14) having an open proximal end (16) and a distal end (18) that defines a receiver (20) with an inwardly projecting shoulder (22). The syringe has a hollow elongate plunger (28) with an open proximal end (30) and a closed distal end (32). There is an elongate plug (34) extending distally into the hollow plunger from the open proximal end forming an enclosed cavity (36) within the plunger. The syringe has an elongate hub (42) having a passageway (44) therethrough, a distally extending stem (46), and a proximal flange (48) with an engagement (50) for engaging said barrel. The syringe has an elongate needle having a fluid path (60) therethrough, a sharpened distal end (62) and a proximal end (64). The needle is mounted in the passageway so that the sharpened distal end projects. The syringe has an elongate spring (66) disposed about the stem of the hub that is compressed between the flange and the inwardly projecting shoulder of the receiver to provide a bias. There is a hollow sleeve (68) sized to fit within the receiver over the elongate spring with a proximal sharpened end (72) disposed in the groove of the flange. When a user applies a sufficient force, the hub is sufficiently moved distally in the receiver for the cutting edge of the sleeve to cut through the flange and the closed distal end of the plunger to expose the cavity for withdrawal of the needle into the syringe. <IMAGE>

Title: Nail driving apparatus
Inventor: SJOGREN BORJE
IPC: B25C1/00
Filed: 1987-03-25
Granted: 1990-02-15
Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for advancing a continuous strip of mutually integrated nails to the nail driving section (5) of a nail driving apparatus provided with a safety-catch device (24) and a nail strip magazine, and to hold the nail strip in the nail driving section. Single nails are stripped from the nail strip in the nail driving section by means of percussion and driven, in conjunction therewith, into the workpiece to be nailed. The magazine (6) incorporates a nail strip accommodating strip guide path (7) which adjoins the nail driving section (5) and in which the nail strip is held biassed towards a nail driving location in the nail driving section (5) by strip feed means (17, 18) located adjacent the strip guide path and engaging the nail strip located therein. The nail driving location is constructed in a manner to prevent a lone, unattached nail from twisting or turning therein. For the purpose of positioning the foremost nail in the nail strip in an exact position in the nail driving location (this foremost nail being the next in line for separation/driving into the workpiece) there is provided a rotatable nail positioning element (35) which is journalled for rotation and sideways movement in the nail driving section (5) and which is capable of being brought into engagement with the nail strip. The safety-catch device (24) is movable relative to the nail driving section and is held in a forward safety position by means of a coil spring. The safety device presents a latching surface (31) in the region of the positioning element (35), and arranged between the latching surface and the nail positioning element is a movable latching element (38). As the safety-catch device (24) is retracted (to its nail firing mode) the latching surface (31) is urged against the spherical latching element (38), which in turn moves the nail positioning element (35) into position-fixing latching engagement with the nail strip, in a region thereof immediately behind the foremost nail located in the nail driving location.
