Abstract: This invention is a method and apparatus associated with safe retraction of medical needles after use. Embodiments are disclosed for self-retracting needle systems for both blood draw, syringe, and catheter insertion systems. Invention manufacture requires only a minimal number and complexity of parts such that a projected manufacturing cost is potentially low enough to permit the apparatus to be cost-competitive with contemporary non-self-retracting needle systems. Methods for making and assembling each of the disclosed embodiments is also disclosed. One blood draw embodiment can be made with as few as three molded parts. Energy storing, needle retracting and mechanisms comprise elastic tubing (180), and vacuum generating piston parts. In an elastic tubing embodiment, selective, constrictive control of stretched tubing volumes effectively inhibits regurgitant flow from the needle. In all embodiments, needle retraction is a single-handed operation permitting a technician's other hand to be used in wound care. Use of frangible parts permits the apparatus housing to be attached to a needle cover, which, in combination, are used as a transport container to further reduce apparatus costs.

Abstract: A shredder (33) is provided for shredding agglomerated metal scrap from a machining process. The shredder includes a rotatable shredding tool (30) mounted on a drive shaft that is rotated using conventional power transmission devices. The axis of the shredder drive shaft is approximately in-line with the drive shaft of a feed device (31) that delivers metal scrap to be shredded to the rotating shredding tool. The shredding tool is rotated so that teeth (41) of the shredding tool tear against the leading edge of the agglomerated metal scrap. Optionally, fixed hooks (80A) are located on one or both of the feed device and the shredder housing for engaging the agglomerated metal scrap. Where fixed hooks or anchors are used, the rotating tool engages the agglomerated metal scrap and spins the metal scrap against the fixed hooks, thus causing further shredding to occur. The shredding tool may be spring-loaded for axial movement in such a way as to allow it to move away from an object that causes it to jam. The shredding tool may be reversibly rotatable, and the shredding tool teeth are oriented so that the shredding tool kicks away and unjams when reversibly rotated. In one form, the teeth on the shredding tool are flexible finger-like members (110G) that extends axially toward and engage the metal scrap as the scrap is output from the feed device.

Abstract: To give vibration to molten metal in a melt pool to enhance solidification efficiency of the molten metal. 
     Substantially directly above meniscus (14) between molten metal (5) in a melt pool (4) and each of rolls, an AC electromagnet (15) is arranged over the entire length of said meniscus (14) so that magnetic flux runs substantially perpendicular to a surface of the molten metal. Above the AC electromagnet (15), a DC electromagnet (16) is arranged over the entire length of the AC electromagnet (15) so that magnetic flux runs substantially perpendicular to the surface of the molten metal. Under application of DC magnetic field by means of the DC electromagnet (16), an AC magnetic field is applied near the meniscus (14) between the molten metal (5) in the melt pool (4) and each of the rolls (1 and 2). As a result, induction current is generated in the molten metal 5 and high frequency vibration is applied to the molten metal (5) by Lorentz's force due to interaction between the induction current and the DC magnetic field.

Near one end of the body and on each of the corners is formed a radially projecting metal expansion strip (18). A recess (20) with a fallen edge (22) extending it is formed on the body. A metallic face (24) is crimped on the fallen edge to form a bottom of the packaging. The recess is formed so as to be connected to the rest of the body by an inclined connecting part (20L) spaced axially from the metallic strip by a distance (D) of between zero and 3 mm. On the second end of the body is formed a fallen edge (16) and another metallic face is crimped on this to form a top of the container.

Abstract: The method involves using a binary input sequence (T) to produce a group of zeroes or ones which are placed between single zeroes or ones at each end of the group. The modulation is applied to an optical carrier so there is a phase difference introduced between the groups of zeroes. The phase differences introduced between groups of ones and zeroes are opposite to each other and regulated to less than 75 degrees of the normal.
