Abstract: A small diameter wire guide (10) for medical procedures. The wire guide includes a mandrel (11) of metallic superelastic material, such as nitinol, having a diameter less than 0.020 inches and which completes its transformation to austenite at a temperature of about 14 DEG C. The mandrel has a constant diameter over a majority of its length and includes a number of tapered portions (14,16); and reduced-diameter portions (15,17) in its distal region (13). A flexible radiopaque platinum coil (18) is attached at the distal region of the mandrel and coaxially surrounds a portion of the distal region. A smoothly rounded tip (21) is attached to the distal tip of the mandrel and coil and serves to shield the distal end of the coil during the insertion procedure into the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A nozzle actuating and adjustment system for applying sealant to a can lid member comprising a nozzle which has a sealant dispensing opening, a needle valve, a needle valve seat surface and a sealant flow passage for enabling flow of sealant material onto the lid member. The needle valve is selectively axially movable between an open sealant applying position and a closed non-flow position relative to the needle valve seat surface. A spring is operatively associated with the needle valve to normally hold the needle valve in the closed lowered position. A needle valve actuator solenoid is operatively connected to the needle valve for selectively causing axial upward movement of the needle valve from the closed position to the open position by a predetermined axial distance to provide a predetermined sealant flow gap in the nozzle to dispense a predetermined amount of sealant material during a predetermined dispensing time period. A flow gap adjustment solenoid is operatively connected to the needle valve actuator solenoid for selectively changing the amount of axial movement of the needle valve caused by the actuator solenoid so as to selectively vary the sealant flow gap and the amount of sealant material dispensed during a predetermined dispensing time.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an improved method and apparatus for treating water in heat exchange systems. The present invention automatically and inexpensively provides an effective chemical to process water systems at times and in proportion to the need for water treatment in such systems. When used in evaporative cooling systems (10), the present invention adds the treatment chemical to the system via the make-up water (44). The make-up water acquires a substantially constant concentration of treatment chemical as it is passed through a device (42) containing a treatment chemical. The constant concentration of chemical is achieved by dividing the make-up flow into two streams within the device, saturating the smaller of the two streams with chemical, and re-mixing the two streams. The biocide agent used in the preferred embodiment of the invention is prilled elemental iodine. <IMAGE>
