Granted: 2012-01-10
Abstract: A device (10) for delivering fluid such as insulin to a patient. The device (10) includes an exit port assembly (70), a syringe-like reservoir (30) including a side wall (32) extending towards an outlet (36) connected to the exit port assembly (70). A threaded lead screw (202) is received in the reservoir (30) and a plunger (204) has an outer periphery linearly slideable along the side wall (32) of the reservoir (30) and an inner periphery threadedly received on the lead screw (202). The plunger (204) is non-rotatable with respect to the side wall (32) such that rotating the lead screw (202) causes the plunger (204) to advance within the reservoir(30) and force fluid through the outlet (36). The device (10) also includes a dispenser (40) having a return element for causing rotation of the lead screw (202), and a shape memory element (220). A changeable length of the shape memory element (220) decreasing from an uncharged length to a charged length resets the return element.

Granted: 2011-11-22
Abstract: A method and kit for detecting Trichomonas vaginalis infection in a human subject are disclosed. In the method, a body-fluid sample such as a vaginal-swab sample or urine is obtained from the subject and contacted with an antibody specific against a Trichomonas adhesin peptide, forming an anti body-adhesin peptide complex if the subject is infected with Trichomonas. The presence or absence of the complex establishes, with a reliability of at least 80%, in the case of a vaginal swab sample, and with a reliability of at least 40% in the case of a urine sample, the presence or absence, respectively, of Trichomonas infection in the subject. A preferred test kit employs a dry-strip, sandwich assay, format.

Inventor: POPP ROGER C
IPC: F02M53/04

Granted: 2005-08-30
Abstract: A high pressure gaseous fuel injector for injecting natural gas or other gaseous fuels at high pressures (eg. 300 to 700 psig more or less) into combustion engines for improved efficiency, better performance and reduced environmental emissions.  The fuel injector is powered by hydraulic signals from an electrohydraulic valve.  The fuel injector includes an outer cartridge housing and a universal valve cartridge mounted therein. The cartridge comprises an activator body and a valve body secured together, and the valve body has a gas valve slidable therein. The stroke of the valve is adjustable by controlling the size of shims in the valve body assembly, thereby providing a universal valve cartridge that can be easily adapted to differing fueling requirements for models and sizes of engines. The valve body includes a spring chamber between upper and lower valve guides. The valve body also includes cross-holes to allow cool gaseous fuel to successively pulsate into and out of the spring chamber and thereby cool the exposed portion of the valve between guides, preventing heating of the dynamic gas seal located in the upper guide. An unsealed small clearance between the actuating piston and its bore in the actuator body allows controlled leakage of oil. The leakage of oil lubricates metal to metal contact between the upper guide and the valve and lubricates the dynamic gas seat. Gaseous fuel leakage into the leaked oil is tolerated and any combined oil/gaseous fuel is removed to an external location for separation. Spring washers are used to urge the valve assembly insert against a metal O-ring supported by the outer cartridge body.

Abstract: A pull-type crop harvesting machine has a header carried on a frame mounted on ground wheels with a hitch arm extending from the frame over the header to a hitch coupling of a tractor. The hitch arm is mounted for pivotal movement about a generally upright axis such that in a first position the tractor tows the frame in echelon to one side and in a second position the tractor tows the frame in echelon. The movement is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder and stopped at one end of the movement by the piston with a rod coupling being adjustably mounted on the rod to adjust the end position. At the other end of the movement, the position is defined by a stop member mounted on the piston rod and adjustable relative thereto. Each end of the cylinder includes a cushion effect by using separate orifices for the fluid ports which slow fluid flow as the piston approaches the ends of the cylinder.
