Title: Intra-abdominal pressure monitoring device and method
Inventor: KIMBALL EDWARD J
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2004-10-11
Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring the intra-abdominal pressure of a patient includes a urinary catheter (102) connected to a urine valve (250) providing selectable communication between a discharge end of the urinary catheter (102) and either a drain (224) or a fluid source (104). Preferably, the urine valve (250) is adapted for remote actuation and has a housing adapted to resist patient discomfort from leg-valve (250) contact. Plumbing structure desirably maintains fluid supply (225) and drain (223) conduits in a substantially parallel arrangement to assist routing those conduits (225, 223) between a patient's legs. When the urine valve (250) is oriented to permit communication with the fluid source (104), an infusion pump (116') may be used to infuse a known quantity of fluid through the urine valve (250) and into the patient's bladder (216). A pressure transducer (218) desirably is connected in-circuit to indicate the fluid's pressure and avoid pressure fluctuations induced by system components. To facilitate the infusion process, an automatic flow control device may be included in a fluid supply path (225) and arranged to permit repetitive operation of a syringe (116') to inject a bolus of fluid into the patient's bladder (216). Subsequent to making a pressure measurement, the urine valve (250) is returned to the bladder (216) draining position.

Title: Device for feeding balls into the ball chamber of a handgun
Inventor: ANDRESEN HEDDIES
IPC: F41A9/02
Filed: 2005-10-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for feeding projec~tile balls into the ball chamber of a handgun, especially into the ball chamber of a paintball gun, having a ball container (3) with an outlet port (17), a feeder tube be~tween the outlet port (17) and the ball chamber, and an es~sentially cylindrical feeder (8) with an axis for feeding the balls (14) from the ball container (3) to the feeder tube. The device comprises a flexible element (26) that is disposed inside the ball container adjacent to the outlet port (17).

Abstract: A needle insertion instrument has a plunger (2) provided with a lever (3) whose rotation is partly restricted, and the needle insertion instrument is constructed as follows: forwardly directed urging force is applied to the lever (3) by contracting restoring force of a pulling spring (4), and, when the lever (3) is further advanced by inertia of the plunger (2) from a position after which the urging force is not applied to the lever (3), the lever (3) functions as a lever to again extend the pulling spring (4), causing the plunger (2) to be urged in the direction to a rear end by restoring force of the spring. Further, an insertion needle cartridge has a lancet body (203) having an insertion needle and an insertion needle holder (201) for movably receiving the lancet body (203). The lancet body (203) has an arm means (302), and the insertion needle holder (201) has in it a to-be-engaged means (403) cooperating with the arm means (302).
