Title: Monocanalicular stent
Inventor: LINDER JAMES S
IPC: A61F2/95
Filed: 2002-03-26
Abstract: A monocanalicular stent (10), includes a plug (12), and a tubing (14), molded with or coupled to the plug portion (12), at an angle. The plug portion preferably includes a body portion (16), a neck portion (18) and a head portion (20). The tubing extends substantially longer than the plug portion. A  delivery stylet is also provided and extends into a pathway of the tubing and provides a device by which the physician may handle the stent and insert it into the canaliculus. The tubing portion may be cut to length and closed. The stylet is then maneuvered to deliver the stent into a dilated punctal opening and then advanced through the canaliculus until the position of the plug portion is immediately above the punctal opening. The stylet is then removed, and the plug portion is then manipulated into the punctal opening until the head portion is flush with the surface of the punctal opening.

Title: Electrical connector with voltage detection point insulation shield
Inventor: BORGSTROM ALAN D
IPC: H01R13/53
Filed: 2003-12-30
Abstract: An electrical cable connector having a voltage detection test point generally includes an internal conductor, an inner insulating sheath surrounding the conductor, a conductive outer shield surrounding the insulating sheath, a separately molded plastic insulative shield disposed adjacent an opening formed in the conductive outer shield and held by the inner insulating sheath and a conductive voltage detection test point terminal disposed within the plastic insulative shield, wherein the test point terminal is capacitively coupled to the internal conductor for external testing of a voltage of the connector. In a preferred method for forming an electrical cable connector, such as a loadbreak power cable elbow connector, having a voltage detection test point, an insulative shield is first molded from a thermoplastic and a conductive voltage detection test point terminal is inserted within the plastic insulative shield. An outer shield is then molded from a conductive material. The conductive outer shield has an opening formed therethrough for accommodating the pre-assembled insulative plastic shield and test point terminal. After the pre-assembled insulative plastic shield and test point terminal are positioned adjacent the opening of the conductive outer shield, and after the conductive outer shield and an internal conductor are positioned within a mold cavity, an inner insulative housing is molded within the conductive outer shield and around the internal conductor. Upon molding, the pre-assembled insulative plastic shield and the test point terminal is held to the inner insulative housing. As a result, the test point terminal becomes capacitively coupled to the internal conductor for external testing of a voltage of the connector.

Abstract: A permanently attachable golf cart wherein, when the cart is collapsed, the two cart wheels fold flat underneath the golf bag, within the "foot print" of the golf bag. The cart legs, cart handle and the interconnecting linkages hang parallel or near parallel to the axis of the golf bag form one side of the bag. The golf cart, therefore, folds more or less within the envelope of the bag, adding marginally to its length (by the width of the tow wheels) and width on one side only by the thickness of legs and the pull handle. The overall dimensions of the bag, together with the cart in collapsed position is, therefore, not very much larger than the dimensions of the bag itself. As well, the cart is constructed out of light weight materials and does not add very much to the overall weight of the golf bag with standard set of golf clubs and other golf gear normally carried in the golf bag. The bag, together with the cart in collapsed position, can be handled, carried from the shoulder strap of the bag and pieced in and removed from the trunk of a car, just as easily and conveniently as the bag, by itself. The cart, therefore, can be left permanently attached to the bag, eliminating the inconvenience of having to carry the cart as a separate piece of equipment and attaching and detaching the cart from the bag, every time before and after use, as in the case of all existing conventional golf carts. As well, the cart is designed to fit any standard golf bag of cylindrical shape, giving the users the choice of using any brand of golf bag they may prefer or already own. In order to use the cart, they do not have to be limited to a dedicated, specially designed golf bag, as in the case of all existing bag & cart combination units. To unfold the cart, all that the user has to do is to swing the cart handle upwards. The cart legs spread out in front of the cart and the wheel forks, which carry the cart wheels, through various actuating linkages, are caused to rotate around the axis of their respective cart legs, as well as around the axis of their respective hinged connection with cart legs through such angles so that, in the open position of the cart, the two cart wheels at the end of the cart legs, come to rest in parallel planes, parallel to the plane containing the axis of the bag and the direction of pull or push. Similarly, the cart is collapsed by simply swinging the cart handle downwards.

Abstract: The invention provides high solids epoxy-based autodeposition coating materials and a means to obtain the high solids epoxy-based autodeposition coating materials that eliminates/minimizes the need for process solvents. An epoxy pre-polymer is used. The epoxy pre-polymer is combined with ethylenically unsaturated monomer, as an alternative to organic solvent, to yield an epoxy-monomer blend, which may be blended with other coating component and additives. The resulting blend is then dispersed in water with surfactant and the ethylenically unsaturated monomer is polymerized (in the presence of other formulation components) to yield a dispersion. The dispersion may then be used as one component of a coating formulation. The coating formulation can then be applied to materials and cured to form a final coating.

Abstract: In an apparatus for applying ink patterns on oriented strand boards, the boards are serially moved closely adjacent to and past ink jets, and ink is deposit ed on the boards. To deposit the ink accurately on the boards they are advanced by pinch and driv e rollers which also ensure that the boards are flat as they move past the jets. Detectors are us ed to detect boards which cannot be flattened or are irregular in shape and in such a case the i nk jets are moved to avoid impact by an irregular board. During printing, the panels and the ink jets are about 0.0625 inches to about 0.125 inches apart, and the panels are moved at a rat e of about 150 ft/minute to 600 ft/minute.
