Title: Medical valve with positive flow characteristics
Inventor: FANGROW THOMAS F JR
IPC: A61M31/00
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: A valve for selectively permitting a fluid flow between first and second medical implements is disclosed. The valve has a housing with an interface suitable for receiving a connector portion of a first medical device such as a catheter, and a seal made of a flexible material. The seal has a first end in fluid communication with the interface, a second end suitable for receiving the second medical device, and at least one slit in fluid communication with the first end and the second end. The slit defines a restricted fluid flow path and a relatively small interior volume when in an undisturbed state, defines an expanded fluid flow path and a larger interior volume upon the introduction of the second medical instrument into the slit, and retracts to define a restricted flow path and a small interior volume upon the withdrawal of the second medical device from the seal.

Title: Modular switch system on high speed serial bus
Inventor: WENG JUI-LIANG
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2002-12-24
Abstract: A modular switch system linking on a high-speed serial bus mainly relies on a host machine connector (10) to connect with independent functional modules (20) which provides different functions of a PBX switch module processor such as internal line exchange, external line exchange, voice recording and backbone support. Under such conditions, each functional module (20) becomes a node in a local network, so that these nodes can be interconnected with each other for simultaneous signal transmission. Each functional module (20) possesses a card slot (21), an interface controller (23), a microprocessor (22), and a power supply (24). In the closed network architecture, the data transfer rate and the processing speed of the system can be substantially improved. Furthermore, the system also allows for hot plug-in, expandability, and flexible configuration.

Title: Oil separator for a welder
Inventor: BANKSTAHL HERBERT A
IPC: B23K9/32
Filed: 2003-06-19
Abstract: An oil separator usable with a welder and air compressor combination unit. The oil separator includes a cylindrical housing having an inlet that receives the stream of compressed air containing oil from the air compressor. Within the oil separator, there is a deflector baffle that redirects the flow of the oil to a swirling, downwardly directed path along the inner surface of the cylindrical housing where the air is separated out therefrom and passes upwardly to exit through a fluid outlet formed in the cover of the separator. The swirling oil flows downwardly through an annular slot formed between a circular plate and the inner surface of the cylindrical housing into a lower chamber where the oil is channeled by radially directed baffles into radial channels to redirect that oil toward an oil outlet at the center of the circular bottom where that oil exits to be re-circulated in the combination unit or for disposal.

Title: Bumper device
Inventor: HAYMOND BRADLEY J
IPC: E05F5/02
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: A bumper device for use in muffling or deadening the sound created by a door closing against a cabinet includes a bumper device body defining a base, a ring-shaped portion, and a concentrically positioned, conical shaped center portion that further defines an indentation at a top end. A channel is formed between the ring-shaped portion and the conical center portion.

Patent CA-2466645-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GAUDET SAMUEL
IPC: G10D3/12
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: The basic premise of this invention is to describe and reduce to practice a phenomena by which a string -- which is generally known as a singular straight line having a certain tension, diameter and length that produces a vibration -- can, when put in a network consisting of a plurality of strings connected together at one or more junction points and radiating therefrom, create a new entity known as a « network of strings » which has new vibrating properties. As the vibration, in the form of a wave, travels through a first segment of the network, it splits at the first junction point met where it will travel onto at least one other string but preferably two or more strings. Transferring the original wave's energy over to the other strings in the network makes them vibrate as well and when the waves in the other strings come back to the junction, another transfer of energy occurs and part of the vibrations, which was altered by the properties of each given string, creates a pattern of vibrations which can be added or subtracted which results in complex wave patterns.
Patent CA-2467626-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAJIZADEH KIAMARS
IPC: G01N33/558
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: Methods are provided for rapid detection with high specificity of the pathogenic form of prion protein responsible for neurodegenerative diseases affecting humans and animals, such as transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in bovine, sheep, and cats. Methods are also provided for testing animal feedstock for pathogenic prio protein. Results are available in from about 0.5 to about 20 minutes and preferably within from about 5 to about 10 minutes.  The methods employ proteinase-K to remove normal prion protein from a biological sample, so that the sample may be analyzed by immunochromatography to determine the presence and concentration of pathogenic prion protein.  Because the proteinase-K is immobilized on a solid support for in-situ removal of interfering components, the present invention obviates the need for subsequent extraction of the desired analyte. All aspects of the present invention are suitable for quantifying the minimal detectable amount of pathogenic prion protein in a test sample. Moreover, the simplicity of sample preparation makes the present invention suitable for use in the field.
