Abstract: A catheter insertion needle assembly including a generally elongated body, a slider assembly, and a needle housing with a needle. The elongated body has a proximal end and a distal end, a needle guard disposed at the distal end of the body in a needle guard plane, a first or distal locking member, and a second or proximal locking member. The slider assembly includes a slider that is slidably disposed on the body. Needle has a distal tip and a cannulating portion extending therethrough. A first locking tab is releasably engageable with the first locking member and a second locking portion is lockably engageable with the second locking member.

Inventor: HALLENBECK PAUL L
IPC: A61K35/768
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel RNA picornavirus that is called Seneca Valley virus ("SVV"). The invention provides isolated SVV nucleic acids and proteins encoded by these nucleic acids. Further, the invention provides antibodies that are raised against the SVV proteins. Because SVV has the ability to selectively kill some types of tumors, the invention provides methods of using SVV and SVV polypeptides to treat cancer. Because SVV  specifically targets certain tumors, the invention provides methods of using SVV nucleic acids and proteins to detect cancer. Additionally, due to the information provided by the tumor-specific mechanisms of SVV, the invention provides methods of making new oncolytic virus derivatives and of altering viruses to have tumor-specific tropisms.

Title: Tension indicator
Inventor: BURLEIGH DAVID
IPC: B60N2/28
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: A tension indicator comprises a housing (1) mountable on a strap S which passes through mouths (5) and (6) of the housing. Within the housing, a barrel (11) is rotatably mounted upon a transverse axis (A). The barrel has a cross-passage (12) for strap (S). Towards its ends barrel (11) has discs (14), carrying slot (15) defining formations (16). The slots engage springs (21).  The arrangement is such that in the relaxed state of the springs, barrel passage (12) is out of alignment with mouths (5) and (6), so that a strap (S) passing through the tension indictor is deflected to a lazy Z path . The housing has a window (23), through which barrel (11) can be seen. When springs (21) are relaxed, a ~SLACK~ portion (24) of barrel (11) can be seen through window (23). When strap (S) is tensioned it is straightened by abutting on ends (25) of passage (12). A different ~TENSIONED~ portion (26) of barrel (11) now becomes visible in window (23). Thus the tension is strap (S) can be assessed according to which of the portions (24) and (26) is visible in window (23).
