Patent EP-0827760-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BROOKS CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: A61M39/12
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: An adapter assembly is provided for fluid communication and
mechanical connection between a catheter and a syringe. The adapter
assembly includes a generally tubular nose having opposed proximal and
distal ends. A wall is disposed at the distal end and includes an aperture
dimensioned for receiving the catheter therethrough. A compressible plug
is received in the open proximal end of the nose and seats against the wall.
The plug includes an axial passage for receiving the catheter. Outer
portions of the plug are tapered near the proximal end. The assembly
further includes a hub having opposed proximal and distal ends. The
proximal end of the hub includes luer projections for threaded engagement
with a luer collar of a syringe. The distal end of the hub is threadedly
engageable in the opened proximal end of the nose. Internal portions of
the hub adjacent the distal ends are tapered and dimensioned to gradually
compress the plug into fluid-tight engagement against the catheter without
generating occlusion.

Abstract: The fiberoptic block in accordance with the present
invention has an input end face constituted by a
combination of a plurality of surfaces each of which is
inclined at a slant angle α by which disturbing light
from within the air can be eliminated, whereby an
irregularity image with a high contrast can be emitted
as usual. Also, it has an output end face
perpendicular to the axis of each unit fiber.
Accordingly, when the output end face is butted against
and secured to an input face of a photodetector, the
irregularity image is made incident on the input face
of the photodetector so as to be substantially
perpendicular thereto, thus allowing a bright
irregularity image to be attained. Further, since this
fiberoptic block has a form extending from the output
end face in a direction perpendicular thereto, it can
be attached to the photodetector relatively easily with
a high precision.

methylmethacrylate and ethylacrylate copolymers having glass transition temperatures
of about 60 °C or greater, or made of a polyacrylic acid homopolymer having a glass
transition temperature of about 100 °C or higher, are also provided. The release
coatings provide excellent supporting substrates for the formation of an overcoated

Abstract: A sprayable, solvent-borne, primer composition for use as a first coat on light-sensitive,
automotive plastic parts. The primer serves as a barrier to block ultraviolet light
penetration to the underlying substrate and to prevent migration of substrate degradation
and by-products up into the topcoat finishes. The primer is a solvent blend of a film-forming
crosslinkable polymer resin, a crosslinker for the resin, a catalyst, carbon black pigments
surface modified with a polymer dispersant and an organic pigment derivative co-dispersant,
crosslinked polymer microgel particles, and U.V. absorbers and optional antioxidants. The
surface modification on the carbon black pigments results in higher pigment loadings, which,
in turn, imparts U.V. light protection at exceptionally low dry film builds. Furthermore, the
microgel particles cause the primer to build in viscosity and set up a gel structure in its
uncured state, which allows the primer to be overcoated wet-on-wet with automotive
topcoat finishes and cured simultaneously in a single bake without diminishing the topcoat
appearance and physical properties. The need for a separate primer bake prior to topcoat
application is, therefore, eliminated.

Abstract: The method of this invention is effective for
removal of colloidal and other suspended particles, and
the reduction of boron from lightly polluted water such
as grey water (soap solution), underground water in built
up areas, and any other lightly polluted water, after
flocculation, sedimentation and filtration. In general,
this method includes the introduction into the lightly
polluted water such as grey water, of a complex chemical
solution which is produced from the natural oxidation of
iron pyrites and its surrounding rock formations. With
the introduction of this complex chemical solution
several chemical reactions may take place together with
flocculation and sedimentation of suspended particles
(colloidal and other suspended particles) and boron.
Following this, the lightly polluted water such as grey
water is passed through upflow and downflow filters, so
that the remaining suspended particles are removed. Each
filter bed consists of a slab of flexible polyurethane
foam, up to 10 cm in depth. The purpose of this
treatment is the recycling of lightly polluted water,
such as grey water for re-use for flushing toilets (WC's)
and/or for garden irrigation/watering of the house from
which it has been collected.
