Abstract: A reusable arrangement to protect against accidental contact with the sharp surfaces of needles and other invasive medical instruments. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a collar that engages a sharp surgical instrument in advance of its sharp end. Attached to the collar by means of a hinge is a slotted longitudinal member, which swings over the sharp end of the instrument, thereby engaging either the collar or the portion of the instrument just in front of the collar and also retaining the instrument behind a keeper shelf. The keeper shelf may be engaged with the opposite side of the longitudinal member to lock this member over the sharp instrument. The longitudinal member may also be equipped with wing members to facilitate movement of the sharp instrument around the keeper shelf. In another embodiment, the locking mechanism comprises a set of flanges depending from the longitudinal member that are gripped by complementary catches on the collar when the device is placed into the closed position.

Abstract: An improved sealant pad comprises a rectangular field of viscous sealant supported by a tough flexible film substrate. The substrate and sealant field may have the same dimensions of length and width but generally the substrate will extend beyond the sealant field on at least two opposing sides. One or more of these extending borders of substrate may be advantageously coated with adhesive thereby providing sealant pads with up to four extending flaps of adhesive coated substrate surrounding the sealant field. The sealant pads may be produced in a variety of configurations and are useful for environmentally sealing electrical connections such as are found in wiring harnesses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mechanical clamping device for the shank (9) of a tool or a tool holder, having a hollow shank-mounting part (1) in which a tension element (4) is arranged, one or more pins (3) acting on the tension element (4), which pins (3) are movable in their longitudinal direction, bores (10) being provided for the pins (3) in the shank-mounting part (1), which bores (10) extend outwards from the hollow interior of the same, and the engagement surface (4a) on the tension element (4) and/or on the pins (3) and their direction of movement being set in such a way that the pins (3) exert a force on the shank (9) in the axial direction during their clamping movement. In order to create a device of this type in which access to the rear end remote from the tool or actuation of the tension element from here is no longer necessary, in which case the precise seating of the shank and thus of the tool connected to the shank is to be guaranteed at the same time, it is proposed according to the invention that the shank-mounting part (1) be designed as a hollow part in such a way that a suitable shank (9) to be drawn in by the tension element can be accommodated therein, that the shank-mounting part (1) be provided with an external thread (11) and that it have a suitable cap nut (2), and that the cap nut (2) have an encircling supporting surface (2a) for the pins (3), which supporting surface (2a) is orientated in such a way that, when the cap nut (2) is tightened in the clamping direction, the supporting surface (2a) presses the pins (3) through the bores (10) into the interior of the shank-mounting part (1) and against the engagement surface on the tension element (4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hydraulic telescoping ram of the type suitable to tip dump trucks and the like, which permits the use of outer aggressive seals and a bore sealing device by providing a conduit which hydraulically connects the upper end of each cylinder of the telescopic ram with an oil reservoir. This makes it possible to use seals which are not aggressive and which can run on surfaces of somewhat less than top quality, on the internal bottom faces of the rams so as to allow the passage of a small quantity of oil into a gap formed within the ram and cylinder and between the aggressive and non-aggressive seals. The oil which passes the non-aggressive seal is returned to the oil reservoir when the ram is extended.

Abstract: A distributed communication network (122) includes switching offices (SOs) (400), moving-orbit satellites (104), and subscriber information managers (SIMs) (118). A population of mobile units (MUs) (300) communicates through the network (122). A MU automatically determines its location and communicates with the network so that this information is kept current at a SO serving the MU and at a home SIM for the MU. The terrestrial nodes of the network have information showing which MUs are logged on at any given time. This knowledge is used to block calls to MUs known to be logged off. When calls are being setup to MUs, call-originating SOs determine appropriate SIMs to communicate with so that the current location of the MUs may be obtained from those SIMs. This current location corresponds to a call-destination SO with which the originating SO may cooperate in setting up a call. <IMAGE>
