Abstract: A surgical tool for deploying an anastomotic ring comprises a handle and a ring deployment mechanism at the distal end of a shaft. The ring deployment mechanism has a distal portion and a proximal portion, and is moveable from an unactuated position to an actuated position to deploy an anastomotic ring. To prevent tissue from becoming trapped in the deployment mechanism during insertion or extraction of the tool, distal and proximal sheaths are configured to cover distal and proximal portions of the ring deployment mechanism, respectively. An actuation mechanism in the handle permits advancement of the distal sheath and actuation of the distal portion of the ring deployment mechanism with a single movement of a first actuator slider. The actuation mechanism also permits retraction of the proximal sheath and actuation of the proximal portion of the ring deployment mechanism with a single movement of a second actuator slider.

Title: Splined vibration damping device using er fluids
Inventor: WATANABE ISAO
IPC: F16F9/53
Filed: 1996-08-27
Abstract: A vibration damping device for mounting between two spaced portions of a vehicle for absorbing road forces exerted on the vehicle. An inner metal cylindrical housing forms an internal piston chamber and is connected at one end to one portion of the vehicle, with the outer end of the rod of a piston which is slidably mounted within the piston chamber, being connected to the other portion of the vehicle. An outer housing surrounds a portion of the inner housing and forms a fluid transfer duct or flow channel between fluid chambers formed on opposite sides of the piston within the piston chamber. An electrode is mounted in the fluid duct for applying a voltage across the duct to affect the viscosity of an electrorheological (ER) fluid flowing therethrough to increase the damping force of the device. The electrode includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced splines and intervening grooves extending longitudinally along the fluid duct. The bottom portions of the grooves have a decreased electric field applied thereto than the splines, providing bleed grooves or leak paths for the ER fluid to decrease the shear-rate of the fluid. The inner housing may be formed with elongated projections which extend into the grooves of the electrode to provide a more uniform electric field along the fluid duct to control the amount of leakage through the bleed grooves. A secondary electrode ground may be formed in the grooves to control the electric field in the bleed grooves.

IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2005-03-18
Abstract: A debit-type merchant transaction is conducted and the merchant transactions are automatically routed to customer accounts for payment of the merchant transactions. A user presents a form of account identification to an electronic transaction device to initiate a transaction. The account identification includes a customer account number. Each customer account is associated with a respective cared issuer. At least some of the card issuers have for selected customers a debit account and a stored value account associated with the same customer account number. To perform a transaction, a customer inputs a transaction amount. A table is provided that includes a plurality of merchant categories and transaction threshold amounts for each merchant category. The merchant category is obtained for each initiated transaction. The inputted transaction amount is compared to the transaction threshold associated with the merchant. The user is required to enter the secret code for the selected transaction if the inputted transaction amount exceeds the transaction threshold amount associated with the merchant. A  routing engine is provided that has individually specified routing rules for each of a plurality of different card issuers. The rules define when a transaction should be routed to the debit account and when a transaction should be routed to the stored value account. The routing rules are applied to the transaction and the transaction is routed to either the debit account or the stored value account.

Inventor: IKEMOTO TAKAYUKI
IPC: E05B65/02
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: There has been a problem that when a cover (2) for a box body (1) for storing various control units to be attached to the underside of the floor of a vehicle or the like is left unlocked or imperfectly locked, this is dangerous since the cover (2) will open by itself due to vibrations produced by the traveling vehicle. There is provided a latch (4) which is held by a plate spring (4b) attached to the back of the cover (2) and which is urged from the center of an opening (10) in the box body (1) to the periphery. When the cover (2) opens, a hook (4Y) provided in the latch (4) is caught around the periphery of the opening (10) under the urging force of the plate spring (4b), thereby preventing the cover (2) from further opening. Unfastening the hook (4Y) by inserting a finger through a small clearance makes it possible to freely open he cover (2).

Inventor: STEVENSON LEON
IPC: A63B71/02
Filed: 2004-04-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to an exercise training apparatus and more specifically to a martial arts/boxing training apparatus which overcomes the problems associated with existing devices in that it provides the user with the ability to hone in on skills such as speed, power, accuracy and blocking, and also simulate the unpredictable nature of a real-life sparring partner.      The apparatus includes a base plate for mounting the apparatus to a surface, a support member, and one or more padded balls that are adapted to move about the support member through connecting arms whose height is adjustable. In one form of the invention, the arms are rigid structures which rotate in a horizontal plane about the support member whereby the length of each arm is adjustable.      This embodiment is especially useful when a user wishes to hone in on a particular skill which does not require the element of surprise. In a further form of the invention, the support member includes a flexible arm mounted thereto which is not only capable of rotational movement in a single plane, but is also capable of tiltable and pivotable motion relative to the support member which adds a further dimension to the training apparatus. This embodiment is especially useful when the unpredictable nature of a real-life sparring partner is required.
