Abstract: A first inflatable retraction device has a first inflatable chamber (5) and a non-pressurized chamber (13) inside the main chamber. The non-pressurized chamber is expanded by inflating a second inflatable chamber (25). The non-pressurized chamber enables the main chamber to remain inflated when an aperture is cut in the envelope of the main chamber, through which treatment is carried out. A second inflatable retraction device has an inflatable retractor (103) and a maintainer (107). The inflatable retractor retracts the organ and the maintainer maintains the organ in its retracted condition after the inflatable retractor is deflated. The maintainer can be inflatable, and can be inside or outside the inflatable retractor. A self-retracting endoscope (201) has an optical assembly with an expandable retractor (211) fitted to its distal end. The distal end of the endoscope is inserted into the body with the retractor in a collapsed condition. The retractor is then expanded to retract organs that would otherwise obstruct the view from the distal end of the optical assembly. After observations are complete, the retractor is returned to its collapsed condition. An insertion tube (243) enables cylindrical objects, such as packaged inflatable retraction devices, to be pulled, instead of pushed, into the body. The additional chamber of an inflatable retraction device having two inflatable chambers is filled with a slurry of a particulate solid in a liquid. The liquid is removed and the additional chamber evacuated to consolidate the particulate solid. This increases the retracting strength of the additional chamber. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrolytic cell for the labeling of proteins, peptides and other organic molecules employs a cathodic half cell and an anodic half cell, where a porous working electrode is located in one half cell and a counter electrode is located in the other of the half cell, the two half cells being divided by a separator. A reference electrode located in the half cell containing the working electrode, and placed outside the current path between the working electrode and the counter electrode confers precise control of the working electrode potential, which allows the maximum rate of labeling to be achieved while minimizing oxidative damage to the protein, peptide or organic molecules. Saturation of the working electrode with non-radioactive label coupled with a ratio of working electrode surface area to volume of half cell containing the working electrode between 0.001 to 10 cm<-><1> minimizes the problem of loss of activity of radiolabel due to adsorption on the working electrode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of improving the performance of a pollutant abatement means, e.g., catalytic converter (16), used to purify engine exhaust gas streams and the like includes combusting a combustion mixture of air and a low ignition temperature fuel in the exhaust gas stream upstream of the catalytic converter (16) to oxidize carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons, and/or to rapidly heat the catalytic converter to its operating temperature. Reaction conditions are maintained so as to cause the combustion mixture to ignite spontaneously. A control system may be used to regulate the supply of the combustion mixture in response to time lapse or temperature of the catalyst or both. The apparatus includes a fuel supply (18) and a fuel line (20) controlled by a valve (22) to deliver a low ignition temperature fuel into the exhaust gas discharge line (14) associated with the engine (12). An air pump (26) provides combustion air through an air line (28) into the exhaust gas discharge line (14). Optionally, a thermocouple (36) attached to the catalytic converter (16) signals a controller (38) to reduce or stop the flow of air and/or low ignition temperature fuel in response to the temperature of the catalytic converter (16).

Abstract: A gas/air or bubble separator is disclosed, particularly for use with supplying air/gas or bubble free coating liquid to a paper coater. The separator includes there cast elements containing three formed chambers, a distribution chamber at the top of the device which supplies incoming liquid to a plurality of separators which operate on the vortex principle, a liquid collection chamber for collecting the essentially or substantially air/gas or bubble free liquid at the bottom of the device, and an air/gas bubble collection chamber above the vortex separators for collecting the gas/air or bubble containing liquid. These chambers are of cast construction and made of stainless steel so that no weld need be used. The device has essentially inline flow for the bulk of the liquid from inlet to outlet and clean streamline design with no dead spaces to prevent accumulations, build ups and problems associated with the same. The vortex separators are made in parts and they can be replaced or individually optimized to achieve air/gas or bubble free operation at high coater speeds of 3,000 to 6,000 feet per minute.

Abstract: An extruded scrim having a diamond-mesh pattern is used to construct a personal cleansing implement. The diamond-mesh material is produced from a hydrophobic flexible polymer. The implement comprises a piece of tubular scrim having a longitudinal axis. The tubular scrim is stretched transversely to the longitudinal axis and is gathered parallel to the longitudinal axis to form circumferential pleats. In one embodiment the stretched and gathered tubular scrim is heat set in its expanded and pleated condition. A second piece of tubular scrim is placed inside the pleated and expanded scrim tubing. One end of the second piece is inverted over the outside of the pleats and connected to the other end to envelop the pleated and expanded scrim tubing. In another embodiment the pleats are not heat set and remain resilient. This embodiment has a means for confining the circumferential pleats from axial expansion. A band of material is looped through the scrim tubing and around its outer surface. Pleats are then evenly distributed around the loop to form a toroidal shaped implement. The personal cleansing implement of the present invention has a high open area, without a dense center core to inhibit rinsing and drying.

Abstract: A separator float has a generally cylindrical body and a water swellable band having a selected outer diameter fitted circumferentially around a portion of the generally cylindrical body. The water swellable band is made of a water swellable material so that upon being exposed to water the water swellable band swells to a greater outside diameter. The separator float is preferably used in a blood collection tube and has a specific gravity between specific gravities of a light phase and a heavy phase of the blood. After the blood has been collected and centrifuged the separator float moves to a position between the light phase and the heavy phase and the water swellable band is exposed to water in the blood causing the band to swell and create a seal. Thereafter, the serum or plasma as well as white blood cells, lymphocytes, monocytes and platelets can be removed from the blood collection tube.
