The configuration of the first and second housings and the contact are such that, during assembly of the connector, the second housing guides the cable to abut the contact in such a manner that the contact displaces an insulating layer of the cable and forms an electrical connection with a wire core of the cable. The first housing has a first gripping surface and the second housing has a second gripping surface, the gripping surfaces being arranged to face away from each other and to face perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the cable prior to assembly, such that the surfaces can be gripped by a thumb and forefinger and squeezed together to effect assembly.

Date Apr. 28, 1994A method of treating earthenware bodies to enhance resistance to freezing and to assist the application of decals and the like thereto comprises treating the bodies with a liquid medium containing a water-repellent material such as silicone. In a subsequent drying step, the bulk of the liquid medium is removed while leaving the water-repellent material deposited in the pores of the earthenware body. In this way, subsequent entry of water and freezing and cracking is resisted. It has also been discovered that the treatment also enchances the ability of the earthenware surface to receive decals and the like without the need for glazing and an additional firing step.

Patent AU-6755600-A (AU)
Title: Method for determining physiological effects of hemoglobin
Inventor: STAMLER JONATHAN S
IPC: A61K35/18
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: NO preferentially binds to the minor population of the hemoglobin's vacant hemes in a cooperative manner, nitrosylates hemoglobin thiols, or reacts with liberated superoxide in solution. The distribution of minor forms of hemoglobin can be tested and the results can be used to predict whether a composition of hemoglobin will scavenge, load, eliminate, or donate NO. Hemoglobin thus serves to regulate the chemistry of NO. SNO-hemoglobin transfers NO equivalents to the red blood cell anion transport protein AE1, which serves to export NO from red blood cells. Regulation of AE1 function is the basis for methods of therapy to affect levels of NO or its biological equivalent.

Title: Video test strip reader and method for evaluating test strips
Inventor: HOWARD WILLIS E III
IPC: G01N31/22
Filed: 1994-08-17
Abstract: A video test strip reader (10) uses a video imager or camera (12) for viewing a viewing field (14) containing reagent test strips (16) each having test pads (28) reacted with a specimen containing constituents of interest. The video imager produces an analog signal representing an image of the viewing field. An image handler (18) coupled to the video imager converts or digitizes the analog signal into a digital signal representing the image and stores the image in the form of an array of pixels representing the image. Each pixel contains color information broken down into red, green or blue (RGB). A processor (24) coupled to the image handler analyzes the array of pixels, determines the location and orientation of a test strip, identifies the test areas on the test strip, measures the corresponding test areas on the strip at the proper times and calculates the test results, such as the concentration of the constituents of interest in the specimen or other measurable properties of the specimen such as color or specific gravity, etc. Accordingly, the video test strip reader can simultaneously locate, color analyze and time track multiple test strips on the viewing field. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: An apparatus for comminuting glass is disclosed having a housing. Within the housing are a plurality of weighted members or hammers, flexibly connected to and spaced about a rotatable shaft. A drive member rotates the shaft, causing the hammers to rotate about the shaft and define a rotation circumference. A glass intake opening located at the top portion of the housing is provided to introduce glass into the apparatus. A first adjustable plate is located adjacent the glass intake opening and positioned to provide a space between the first adjustable plate and the hammers' rotation circumference. A first glass suspension chamber is defined by the glass intake opening, the first adjustable plate, and the rotation circumference of the hammers. In operation, the shaft is rotated, causing the weighted members to spin about the shaft. A quantity of glass is introduced into the apparatus, and the weighted members contact the glass, causing the glass to strike the first adjustable plate. Adjusting the space between the first adjustable plate the weighted members' rotation circumference helps control the resulting particle size of the comminuted glass. Controlling the shaft rotation speed also affects the resulting particle size of the comminuted glass.

Title: Surgical probe locating system for head use
Inventor: BUCHOLZ RICHARD D
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1991-10-17
Abstract: The system for determining a position of a probe relative to an object such as a head of a body patient. The head includes a surface such as a forehead having a contour. The head is placed in a cradle equipped with an arc. The cross-sectional images of the head are determined relative to the arc. A hand-held unit optically scans the forehead and the arc. During scanning to generate the cross-sectional images, the optical scanner is used to determine the position of the forehead relative to the cradle. During surgery, the optical scanner also determines the position of the forehead relative to a base ring. An array for receiving radiation emitted from the probe and from the base ring generates signals indicating the position of the tip of the probe relative to the base ring. A stereotactic imaging system selects and display the image of the head closest to the measured position of the tip of the probe.
