Abstract: A method for producing an endoscopic drape includes positioning a portion of a sheath of flexible material in abutment with a joining portion of a first housing piece. A joining portion of a second housing piece is positioned close to joining portion and the joining portions are then joined together, for example, by ultrasonic welding.  This forms a housing in which the portion of the sheath is entrapped between the first housing piece and the second housing piece. The portion of the sheath may be joined to the first housing piece by a thermoplastic gasket or O-ring prior to joining the first and second housing pieces to improve the seal between the sheath and the housing. The housing includes a clear lens or window that provides an optical pathway through the housing and also provides a sterility barrier.

Granted: 2010-01-12
Abstract: An intrinsically safe data acquisition system is disclosed for use in hazardous locations. The system includes a drillet's console that itself is intrinsically safe and includes a large LCD monitor, keypad and local CPU. The monitor includes an intrinsically safe backlighting system. The system further includes satellite data acquisition and processing boxes that are also intrinsically safe and that are located within the hazardous area. Each satellite box includes its own CPU and acquires and locally processes signals received from a number of field sensors. The satellite box converts the signals into digital form, and transmits the data via a fiber optic communication channel to a master CPU box located in an unclassified area. A high current intrinsically safe barrier distributes power from the master CPU box to the satellite box for powering all the sensors supported by that satellite box. Another such barrier distributes all the power required by the driller's console.

Granted: 2012-03-13
Abstract: The invention is a method for detecting failures in an analyzer for conducting clinical assays. Potential errors that can result in assay failures in an analyzer are identified, as are their potential sources. The probability that an error source so identified will result in a clinically significant error is also determined. Available potential detection measures corresponding to the source of potential errors are identified with a combination of such measures selected and implemented based on their probability of detecting such errors within an acceptable limit with a concomitant low probability of the false detection of an assay failure. Each of the measures selected are functionally independent of others chosen to address the source of the error and are not subject to the same inherent means of failed detection. Applications of the method in a clinical analyzer are also presented.

Abstract: An apparatus for the chilling or freezing of items, particularly food items includes an entrance module, and exit module and may include one or more intermediate modules. The modules may be connected in order to provide an optimal solution in a food freezing or chilling process. Each module includes at least a portion of a belt for conveying items and a motor driven impeller for circulating a stream of cryogenic gas around the items. The velocity of the stream of cryogenic gas is increased through the use of one or more impingers creating impingement jets above and below the belt. The impinger may be a plate having a series of holes or it may be a seri es of channels. The configuration of the impinges effects the rate of heat transfer from the cryogen to the items. A sprayer for spraying liquid cryogen into the impingement jets to provide an immediate freezing of the surface of an item. Baffles between modules enable the user to control the flow of cryogen and the pressure differential between modules. A pneumatically actuated ball valve is used to vibrate the impingers to remove snow and ice. The vibrator may be driven by compressed vaporized liquid nitrogen from the same source as that used to cool and/or freeze food items.
