Title: Gas delivery system and pneumatic yoke for a pressurized gas reservoir
Inventor: WALSH PATRICK A
IPC: F17C5/06
Filed: 2002-11-26
Granted: 2007-07-24
Abstract: The present invention provides a pneumatic yoke for a pressurized gas reservoir. The yoke comprises an aperture for receiving a stem of the pressurized gas reservoir, the stem having a stem valve selectively operable to permit a flow of pressurized gas through an opening of the stem; a gas passage for alignment with the opening of the stem to accept the flow of pressurized gas; a gas diverting conduit in fluid communication with the gas passage; a movable clamping member within the gas diverting conduit, the movable clamping member having a surface forming a boundary of the conduit, the boundary displaceable by a flow of gas into the conduit to thereby vary the volume of the conduit to thereby engage the clamping member with the stem; and, a release valve in fluid communication with the gas diverting conduit, the release valve selectively operable to permit a flow of gas from the conduit to permit disengagement of the movable clamping member with the stem. The yoke may be used in a gas delivery system, particularly in home oxygen gas delivery systems.

Abstract: A system and method of providing bi-level CPAP therapy is provided that incorporates an infrared carbon-dioxide sensor (124) to determine whether a patient is inhaling or exhaling. Patient exhalation causes the infrared light to be absorbed, while patient inhalation reduces the presence of carbon-dioxide causes little or no absorption of carbon-dioxide. The level of carbon-dioxide in an associated patient breathing interface is monitored for thresholds that trigger higher CPAP pressure upon inhalation and lower CPAP pressure upon exhalation.

La tête du boulon est hexagonale et consiste en six sections de forme identique ayant une pente sur un côté inférieur et étant attenantes à une extrémité inférieure de la section adjacente à une extrémité plus haute. Chacun des segments a des pentes comme celles de la tête du boulon, chacun des segments a des barres radiales pointées formées sur l'autre côté et des espaces sur le côté latéral afin qu'un outil spécialement conçu pour défaire le boulon puisse s'y engager. L'écrou est hexagonal et a des pentes comme celles de la tête du boulon. Le boulon est inséré au travers du premier segment, des pièces à travailler et du second segment en séquence, puis il est vissé dans l'écrou pour fixer ensemble les pièces à travailler, les barres radiales pointées étant poussées dans les surfaces des pièces à travailler. Le couplage du boulon ne peut pas devenir lâche, car les segments sont attenants à la fois au boulon et à l'écrou pour empêcher la rotation inverse du boulon qui défera le boulon.

Abstract: A device for protecting the arm of a user consists of a protective sleeve and a tubular pouch sized to fit around a user's upper arm. The protective sleeve is made of a preselected protective fabric and is extendible from a retracted position to an extended position for deployment. The protective sleeve is shaped and sized such that in the extended position, the protective sleeve envelops the user's lower arm. An adjustable hand opening at the lower end of the protective sleeve is sized to allow a user's hand to extend out of the protective sleeve. The upper end of the protective sleeve is affixed to an inner portion of the pouch. The tubular pouch is shaped to form a circumferentially extending storage cavity for storing the protective sleeve in a retracted position. This cavity is closed by a closure mechanism when the protective sleeve is stored inside the pouch. The pouch has an attachment mechanism for attaching the pouch to the upper arm portion of the user's shirt. The subject arm protection device provides advantages of compact storage, ready availability, and rapid deployment for protecting the user's arm against hazards.

Title: Surgical stapling instrument incorporating a firing mechanism having a linked rack transmission
Inventor: SWAYZE JEFFREY S
IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2004-09-27
Granted: 2012-05-15
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti- backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.
