Title: The bowie-dick test device
IPC: G01N31/00
Filed: 1990-08-15
Granted: 1993-03-18
Abstract: A method of constructing a permanent record test device for testing the efficiency of a steam sterilizer apparatus to create a vacuum satisfying the Bowie-Dick test procedure and the device constructed thereby is disclosed. A sheet of selectively porous material such as one hundred pound blotter paper having a steam sensitive indicator ink printed thereon is laminated between layers of steam and air impermeable polymeric material to substantially occlude the sheet from ambient atmosphere, except for a small metering region. The small metering region may include a hole punched through the laminated sheet. Two parallel and spaced apart strips can be used with a metering hole punched at one end of each of the strips or, alternatively, a metering hole is punched at one end of any one of the strips and the strips can be connected with a fluid passageway at the opposite en of the strips. Strips other then straight strips can be used, e.g., an L-shaped strip can be used with a V-shaped strip.

Title: Apparatus and method for the production of ribbed pipes
Inventor: JARVENKYLA JYRI
IPC: B29C48/13
Filed: 1986-07-03
Granted: 1989-12-14
Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the production of outwardly ribbed, plastic pipes. The apparatus includes a core around which a plasticized material is pressed from a nozzle. A kernel having an essentially constant diameter is positioned at the terminal end of the core for a smooth inner face of the pipe. The outer face of the pipe is ribbed by grooves of axially displaceable chill moulds. The end zone of the kernel is provided for the cooling of the inner face of the pipe. In known apparatuses the grooves of the chill moulds are often filled incompletely and the inner face of the pipe becomes uneven on account of air bubbles, for instance. These disadvantages are avoided by heating an initial zone of the kernel for heating the inner face of the pipe and by shaping the surface of the initial zone to slightly expand conicallly in the production direction.

Title: Adjustable endcap for lancing device
Inventor: PURCELL D GLENN
IPC: A61B5/151
Filed: 2001-08-23
Granted: 2004-10-14
Abstract: An adjustable endcap (18) for a lancing device (10) includes a basecap (24) and a twistcap (26). The basecap includes a post (40) with detents (46,48) thereon. At least one finger (49,47) is provided on the basecap adjacent the post. The twistcap includes at least one helical track (54,56) on its outer surface into which the finger extends when the twistcap is mounted on the post. The twistcap also includes a plurality of grooves (58,60,62,64) on an inner surface (68) for engagement with the detents. As the twistcap is rotated on the post, the interaction of the finger and track causes the twistcap to move toward and away from the basecap and to adjust the penetration depth of a lance reciprocally mounted in the lancing device. <IMAGE>

Granted: 2002-02-21
Abstract: A sensor dispensing instrument houses a sensor pack having a plurality of fluid sensors and is used to eject one of the sensors from the sensor pack so that it can be placed in a testing position with the sensor projecting from the instrument. Data generated by the sensor when a testing end of the sensor is placed in a fluid to be tested is transferred to data processing circuitry on a printed circuit board disposed within the instrument. Information regarding tests conducted can be displayed on a display screen disposed in the instrument In addition, user actuated buttons disposed adjacent a data port connector permit the user of the instrument to input data to the electrical components on the printed circuit board or obtain information about the performed tests. The manually actuated buttons, the data port connector and the display screen are electrically coupled to the circuitry on the printed circuit board by an elastomeric connector. The connector has conductive filaments on three sides thereof and is sandwiched between the display screen and the printed circuit board with circuits on the display screen and printed circuit board in contact with two opposite sides of the elastomeric connector and the user actuated buttons and data port connector making contact on a third side of the elastomeric connector.

Title: Hydrogel patch
Inventor: ABRAHAM WILLIAM
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 1996-07-11
Granted: 1999-06-17
Abstract: A hydrogel patch is disclosed which is comprised of a polymeric material which forms a gel with water with the material being present in an amount of about 0.5 % to 40 % by weight based on the weight of the patch. Electrical conductivity of the water is increased by the addition of an electrolyte. The patch comprises an enzyme which is capable of catalyzing a reaction with a biomedically important molecule such as glucose. Glucose drawn into the patch undergoes a reaction with the aid of the enzyme and the hydrogen peroxide released flows through the electrically conductivity of the water and may react at an electrode surface to generate a signal related to the amount of glucose entering the patch. The patch is also preferably comprised of a buffer which maintains the pH of the patch in the range of from about 3 to 9, and may be further comprised of a cross-linking agent, a biocide, a humectant, and a surfactant. The patch is preferably in the form of a thin (5  mu m - 50 mils), flat circular disc (0.5 to 10 cm<2> of area) which will conform to the contours of human skin and may have a non-woven fabric embedded therein and removable release liners on each surface.

Title: Multiple level minimum logic network
Inventor: REED COKE S
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-07-19
Granted: 2000-10-19
Abstract: A network or interconnect structure utilizes a data flow technique that is based on timing and positioning of messages communicating through the interconnect structure. Switching control is distributed throughout multiple nodes in the structure so that a supervisory controller providing a global control function and complex logic structures are avoided. The interconnect structure operates as a "deflection" or "hot potato" system in which processing and storage overhead at each node is minimized. Elimination of a global controller and buffering at the nodes greatly reduces the amount of control and logic structures in the interconnect structure, simplifying overall control components and network interconnect components and improving speed performance of message communication.
