Abstract: Une vanne de commande comprend un corps de vanne (14) définissant un orifice supérieur. Un chapeau (28) permet de fermer l'orifice supérieur du corps de vanne. Une tige (40) logée dans le chapeau et dans le logement de vanne déplace, en coulissant, un tournant (30) dans le logement de la vanne destiné à fermer ou à ouvrir la vanne. Un assemblage de garniture (44) permet de réaliser l'étanchéité entre la tige et le chapeau, et une retenue de garniture maintient l'assemblage de garniture à l'intérieur du chapeau. Une bague de retenue (12) fixe la retenue de garniture (48) en place. La bague de retenue peut être formée comme une bague généralement cylindrique engageant la retenue de garniture et pouvant être serrée sur la retenue de garniture. Des encoches extérieures (56) pratiquées dans une surface extérieure de l'écrou de blocage permettent de serrer cet écrou avec un outil. La bague de retenue peut comprendre, en outre, une portion inférieure recevant de façon rapprochée une surface extérieure de la retenue de garniture, ce qui permet de centrer la bague de retenue avec la retenue de garniture. La bague de retenue peut encore comporter une portion supérieure servant à centrer automatiquement la bague de retenue avec le chapeau.

Abstract: A bodily fluid extraction device includes a penetration member configured for penetrating a target site and subsequently residing within the target site and extracting a bodily fluid sample. The penetration member includes a proximal end adapted for fluid communication with an analyte analysis system, a distal end, and a channel extending from the distal to the proximal end. The distal end includes a sharp portion for penetrating a target site, and a flexible feature adapted for promoting bodily fluid flow into the channel by protruding into the target site after the penetration member has penetrated the target site. A method for extracting bodily fluid includes providing a bodily fluid extraction device as described immediately above. Subsequently, a target site is penetrated with the distal end of the bodily fluid extraction device's penetration member and the flexible portion of the penetration member is caused to protrude into the target site and promote bodily fluid flow into the penetration member's channel. Bodily fluid (e.g., ISF) is then extracted from the target site (e.g., a dermal tissue target site) via the channel of the bodily fluid extraction device.

Abstract: A transfer chair has a chair frame, a seat, wheels, and a lift arm which has an articulated path between home and target positions. The lift arm is articulated such that a lifting bridle attached to a distal end of the lift arm is maintained in a constant angular orientation with respect to the chai r frame during movement. The lift arm is constructed using four links which ar e pivotally connected end-to-end and which can be folded to a stowed position within the chair frame. An actuation mechanism uses a lead-screw actuator coupled to one of the links which lifts the remaining links by rotation abou t its pivotal attachment to the chair frame, and similarly uses another lead- screw actuator coupled to the next link. The actuation mechanism can be operated by an on-board motion control computer for controlling the trajecto ry and velocity of the arm. A docking station integrated with the frame mates with a docking feature on the target object and stabilizes the chair while transferring the user. The transfer chair may be constructed using modular components that allow the unit to be assembled or reconfigured into one of a number of different product designs. Four such modules may include a front module which houses the front pivoted casters or wheels and foot rests, a center module which provides the lifting/transfer/elevate functions, a propulsion module having the rear wheels, variable speed/reversible gear dri ve motors, batteries, and a chair control computer, and a rear module which contains the seat back cushion and support, and any push handles and control s for operation by an caregiver.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine using combustion chamber pressure sensing
Inventor: RUTHMANSDORFER DAVID A
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: The present method and apparatus employ a signal indicative of cylinder pressure within the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine to control combustion phasing or start of combustion (SOC) in subsequent cycles of the engine where the engine is driven by combustion of both a fuel/air premixed charge and a directly injected quantity of fuel. A ratio of signals indicative of pre-combustion pressure and post-combustion pressure within a cycle are employed to estimate SOC and then, based on a predetermined target SOC, an ignition lever is employed to adjust subsequent SOC. A preferred ignition lever is, in a pilot fuel ignited engine, pilot fuel quantity.

Inventor: FRYER BEN
IPC: A61L2/28
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: The effectiveness of an oxidative sterilization process is determined by exposing a substrate having a known amount of a primary amine or aldehyde indicator chemical to an oxidative germicide. The oxidative germicide reacts with the indicator chemical. The amount of indicator chemical remaining after exposure to the germicide is determined by reacting the indicator chemical with a dye precursor chemical to form a colored product. The amount of indicator chemical remaining on the substrate is determined from the intensity of the color of the colored product. The amount of indicator chemical remaining on the substrate is a measure of the effectiveness of the germicidal treatment. The dye precursor is an aldehyde when the indicator chemical is a primary amine and a primary amine when the indicator chemical is an aldehyde. An integrator for determining the effectiveness of the germicidal process includes a substrate and an indicator chemical, where the indicator chemical is a primary amine or an aldehyde.
