Abstract: A catheter button system for anchoring a catheter to a patient's body tissue, consists of a catheter button having a primary aperture for snugly receiving a catheter tube, and at least one secondary aperture. A cord loop extends through the secondary aperture. The loop is for catching a surgeon's suture needle for fastening the button system to the patient's body tissue. Preferably, the button consists of separate upper and lower components, and the cord loop holds the button components together, as well as serving to anchor the button to a patient's body with a stitch of suture thread. Preferably, the primary aperture is central to the button, and two secondary aperture are spaced equidistant to the primary aperture, on opposing sides of the button. The invention also relates to a method for anchoring a suture to a patient's body, by joining a button to the suture, the button having at least one pre-formed loop. The button is then anchored to the patient's body, by passing a suture needle through the pre-made loop and stitching the loop to the body tissue.

Abstract: A low-cost warm water heater for use in portable toilets, to provide unblended warm water for hand washing provides a small quantity of warm water at a predetermined temperature, the flow being sensibly at ambient pressure. The water system is supplied by hand or foot pump, or gravity feed, using a low power electric immersion heater, within a small, fabricated plastic casing that is of standard fittings, solvent welded to provide a substantially vandal-proof, child-proof heater. Provision of a cold water feed with vacuum break protects the heater against being siphoned dry. Snap-in hose connections simplify assembly and maintenance. While electrically protected by the plastic case construction, electrical ground-fault protection may also be utilized. A stand-alone embodiment incorporates a diaphragm foot pump to provide spurts of warm water.

Abstract: A low power CAM architecture is disclosed. Matchlines of the CAM array are segmented into a main search portion and a main search portion. After issuing a search command, a main search operation is conducted on the main search portion of the matchline. If the result of the main search is a match, then the main search is subsequently conducted on the main search portion of the matchline. If the result of main search is a mismatch, then the main-search is disabled, and consequently there is no power dissipation on the main search portion of the matchlines. Main search and main search operations can be pipelined to maintain high throughput with minimum latency. Power consumption is further reduced by using a matchline sense circuit for detecting a current on the main search and main search portions of the matchline. Matchlines are decoupled from the sense circuit sense node in order to achieve higher sensing speed and improved sense margins, and dummy matchlines are used to generate timed control signals for latching the output of the matchline sense circuits. The matchlines are initially precharged to a miss condition represented by ground potential and are then undergo accelerated precharge to a preset voltage potential level below VDD to overcome tail-out parasitic current and to minimize the voltage swing of the matchlines to conserve power.
