Title: Vascular dilatation device and method
Inventor: SEGAL JEROME
IPC: A61M29/02
Filed: 1995-12-11
Granted: 1999-03-18
Abstract: A vascular dilatation device for enlarging a flow passage in an obstruction in a vessel carrying flowing blood. A flexible cylindrical dilatation member is provided for placement in the obstruction and has first and second ends and an intermediate portion between the first and second ends with an interior flow passage extending therethrough having a diameter and a longitudinally extending central axis. The diameter of the flow passage is variable with movement of the first and second ends relative to each other along the longitudinally extending central axis from a contracted position to an expanded condition. The flexible cylindrical dilatation member is comprised of a plurality of flexible elongate elements each of which extends helically about the longitudinally extending central axis. First and second collars respectively engage the first and second ends of the flexible cylindrical dilatation member to retain the first and second ends in contracted positions. A mechanism is provided for causing relative axial movement of the first and second ends towards each other to cause an intermediate portion of the flexible cylindrical dilatation member to expand to form a rigid cylinder and thereby enlarge the obstruction spaces between the flexible elongate elements at the first and second ends so that blood in the vessel can continue to flow through said first and second ends and through the interior flow passage.

Title: Single-sided fiber optic splitter with integral miniature bend
Inventor: GILLHAM FREDERICK J
IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 1999-08-24
Granted: 2002-10-24
Abstract: An optical assembly has a miniature fiber optic bend fixedly attached to a substrate to form an integral assembly with an optical component also fixedly attached to the substrate. The assembly includes at least one optical fiber having an entering fiber portion and a return fiber portion. A miniature bend is formed in an intermediate portion that comprises an optical fiber portion between the entering liber portion and the return fiber portion to provide a reversal of direction between the entering fiber portion and the return fiber portion. The entering fiber portion and the return fiber portion are preferably fixed in overlying relationship w:.thin a channel formed in the substrate. The resulting device :.s smaller, more environmentally stable, and more robust, because there is no relative motion between components. The resu:.ting device also has fewer parts and processing steps to manufacture. <IMAGE>

Title: Pressure indicating devices
Inventor: JOHNSON RICHARD CHRISTOPHER HO
IPC: B60C23/00
Filed: 1996-05-07
Granted: 1999-11-25
Abstract: A pressure indicating device, e.g. for securing to a tire valve, is disclosed. The device includes a flexible impermeable diaphragm on one wall of a permanently hermetically sealed chamber is pressurized to a given pressure. A mechanical linkage moves depending on whether the pressure, e.g. in a tire to which the device is attached, is greater or less than that in the chamber, e.g., rotates a bicolored ball so that the color displayed provides a visual signal that indicates if the tire pressure is above or below the given pressure.

Title: Enhanced pressure swing adsorption processing
Inventor: WERNER ROBERT GARY
IPC: B01D15/00
Filed: 1986-03-06
Granted: 1989-08-10
Abstract: A feed gas is passed to a pressure swing adsorption system, each bed of which undergoes a processing cycle that includes (1) pressurization (2) copurge at upper adsorption pressure, (3) countercurrent depressurization, including, in some embodiments, evacuation to a lower subatmospheric desorption pressure. By recycling effluent gas released upon copurge and countercurrent depressurization for use in the pressurization or the copurge step, the more readily adsorbable component of the feed gas is advantageously recovered at high purity and at high recovery levels. Enriched less readily adsorbable component is also recoverable as coproduct effluent at relatively high recovery levels. The process can be advantageously employed for the separation and recovery of product nitrogen from air.

Granted: 1984-09-27
Abstract: A steel refining system has a crucible having an upwardly open mouth and containing a steel melt covered by slag, an oxygen lance directed downwardly into the mouth at the melt, a hood fitting downwardly over the mouth and having a hood wall formed by a multiplicity of coolant tubes, and an arrangement for circulating a coolant through these tubes. The tubes form a tubular hood-wall extension that has an outer end and is centered on an axis trained on the melt on the crucible. A holder is mounted on the outer end of this extension and contains a sound transducer carried by the holder and directed along the axis at the melt. A circuit is connected to this transducer for determining slag thickness by means of the sound detected by the transducer. The holder itself comprises a circularly annular hollow cell fixed by means of a collar to the extension and a transducer housing that is fixed to this cell and therethrough to the extension. The cell defines a passage aligned with the axis and is connected to a separate coolant circuit to prevent overheating of the transducer.

Title: Side opening flexible bag with longitudinally oriented carrying handle secured to side panels
Inventor: MUCKENFUHS DELMAR RAY
IPC: B65D85/07
Filed: 1990-12-07
Granted: 1995-05-04
Abstract: An easy open flexible bag preferably containing one or more stacks of flexible articles which are maintained in a state of compression in a direction substantially parallel to their thickness. For products such as disposable absorbent baby diapers, catamenial pads, incontinent briefs and the like, the degree of compression within the bag may be as much as 50% or more when compared to the uncompressed thickness of the stack of articles in question. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the bag totally encloses the stack or stacks of compressed flexible articles and exhibits a substantially rectilinear shape. The bag preferably includesa longitudinally oriented carrying handle which is formed indepenently of the bag. The opposed ends of the carrying handle are preferably secured to bag's side panels. The side panels and the front and back panels of the bag are subject to tension imposed by the stack of compressed flexible articles. A predetermined line of weakness spanning a tensioned side wall of the bag is provided and functions as an easy opening system. The easy opening system is so positioned on the side panel of the bag that when the package is opened, the carrying handle remains attached to the bag and fully functional. The easy opening system allows the compressive forces acting upon the flexible articles contained in the bag to be partially relaxed when the easy open feature is activated by the end user. Partial separation or complete removal of a portion of the tensioned side panel of the bag allows the coinciding portion of the stack of compressed articles to project in fan-like array through the aperture thus created to permit easy one-at-a-time removal.
