Title: Injector cleaning/testing apparatus
IPC: F02B77/04
Filed: 1989-10-06
Granted: 1993-01-07
Abstract: Injector cleaning/testing apparatus is arranged to enable electrically actuated injectors to be cleaned and tested whilst in situ on an engine. The apparatus is connected to the fuel supply system (12, 13, 15) of the engine which feeds fuel and/or cleaning fluid to the engine injectors (11). Measuring means (5) is also provided for measuring the rate of flow of fuel through the injectors (11). Fuel is pumped to pressurise the supply of fuel to the injectors; the pressure is measured and the rate of change of the pressure is determined as an injector is opened thereby determining the rate of flow through the injector. The apparatus also includes an arrangement whereby the engine fuel supply pump (13) is used during cleaning and an arrangement (42-48) by which the injectors (11) may be actuated in different modes without disconnection.

Abstract: A PCA device includes a fluid conduit having an upstream portion and a downstream portion, a first flow-restricting orifice in the upstream portion, a second flow-restricting orifice in the downstream portion, a pressure-responsive check valve in the downstream portion in parallel with the second flow-restricting orifice, and a bolus dose delivery mechanism including a chamber in fluid communication between the upstream portion and the downstream portion. Continuous flow is provided through the first flow-restricting orifice, the chamber, and the second flow-restrictive orifice, the continuous flow serving to fill the chamber at a controlled rate through the first flow-restrictive orifice. The bolus dose delivery mechanism is manually actuable to express the contents of the chamber through the check valve to supplement the continuous flow through the downstream portion. The bolus dose delivery mechanism includes a resilient diaphragm that forms a sealed closure for the chamber. The diaphragm is movable from a decompressed position to a compressed position by a plunger that directly engages the diaphragm, and it is restored to the decompressed position by the flow of fluid into the chamber.

Title: Lock cap anchor assembly for orthopaedic fixation
Inventor: BONO FRANK SCOTT
IPC: A61B17/70
Filed: 2001-08-16
Granted: 2003-01-02
Abstract: An assembly such as an anchor screw, bone plate, offset hook, post, transverse connector or other spinal anchor for anchoring to bone and clamping a linkage such as a rod, wire cable or the like. The assembly has a top member with an open slot to receive the linkage, and a twist-lock closure cap to close the open end, capturing the linkage in the slot. One closure cap fits over and around the top member, with a set of segmented protrusions that extend through a corresponding set of protruding flange segments spaced about the circumference of the top member. The cap is configured to rotate and lock against the top member like a flange-locking bayonet mount when turned through a limited degree of rotation. Slots may be provided through the face of the closure cap allowing reduction tabs to project through the cap, and the locking cap may be adapted to a range of screw, eye, hook, post, connector and other anchor assemblies to securely clamp the linkage by use of a rotation tool disposed along an access path aligned with the axis of the screw, thus requiring no lateral clearance along the longitudinal direction of the linkage element. Locking is effected by a set screw that passes through the cap and tightens against the linkage to firmly immobilize it in the anchor assembly. Another cap embodiment fits into the center of the head with a partial twist locking motion. Opposed locking surfaces prevent slippage in the radial direction, and a sloping contact floor surface may apply torque to further increase pressure on urge mating detent features in an adjacent wall.

Abstract: During the process of manufacturing polarization-selective fused-fiber couplers (1) having two or more input fibers and two or more output fibers and formed in the coupling region (fused region 6) from parallel, nonbirefringent, matched-cladding single-mode fibers, prior to the fusion of the fibers, linearly polarized light with a selected wavelength is fed into one of the input fibers (2) and detected at the ends of the two output fibers (3). The fibers are thereupon fused together with the coupler (1) being drawn until the coupling between the two fibers ceases to fluctuate. The source of heat is then turned off. With the method it is possible to manufacture fused-fiber couplers (1) whose lengths are only approximately 10 mm to 15 mm.
