Title: Dispensing solid block chemical for cleaning systems
Inventor: COPELAND JAMES L
IPC: B65D77/20
Filed: 1988-08-09
Granted: 1990-12-06
Abstract: A substantially horizontal support screen (40) within a housing (20) retainably supports a solid block of wash chemical (80) thereabove. The support screen divides the housing into an upper cylindrical storage portion (21) and a lower funnel shaped collector portion (25). A spray forming nozzle (38) is mounted within the collector portion below the generally horizontal screen (40) for directing a spray of water at substantially the entire downwardly facing surface (81) of the wash chemical block supportably retained above the support screen. The dissolved wash chemical passes through the support screen, is collected by the collector portion of the housing, and directed to its utilization point. Spray control means (43), either manual or electronic, control the spray of water through the nozzle in response to a control signal. The dispenser is configured for mounting to a vertical surface and is loaded through an upper access port (24) normally closed by a door (34). A safety switch (50) prevents the spray of water from the nozzle whenever the door is open.

Granted: 1995-07-13
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/01462 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 18, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 18, 1992 PCT Filed Jun. 29, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/01647 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 21, 1993.An apparatus moves, for example with a rotative motion, a member or a first group of members by moving another member or a second group of members with a reciprocating rectilineal motion by the interaction between magnets (1, 2) or groups of magnets (1i, 2i) fixed to the members or the group of members. If the reciprocating rectilineal motion is obtained by connecting one of the two groups of magnets to pistons of a two-stroke engine and to a mechanical energy-restoring system (8), a high-efficiency apparatus is realized, which is suitable for engine-traction, which does not need a crank-shaft, a lubricating system, a water cooling system, an alternator, or a torque converter, and which is automatically switched off when the vehicle is not in motion. The work-torque can be varied by varying the distance between the restoring system (8) and the supporting members (14) which are connected to the pistons (5). Easy and cheap to make, this apparatus causes little pollution and is suitable even for using hydrogen as a fuel. In this case, its pollution products are insignificant or equal to zero.

Granted: 1996-02-01
Abstract: A flexible heat-sealable web (w) is shaped continuously into a tubular cross-sectional shape, eg. as an intermediate stage in the production of infusion bags comprising severed and sealed lengths of the tubular-shaped web. The web is drawn along a shaped shoe (2) and side margins of the web are folded over opposite sides of the shoe by rollers (34) and fingers (36,38) to place the opposite side edges of the web in overlapping relationship against the shoe. The overlapped edges pass between a roller (20) mounted in the shoe and an external heated roller (56) and are pressed together by the rollers to lap weld the edges together as the web travels along the shoe. The shoe continues to form the web downstream of the welding station into a flattened tube. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to an orthopedic fastener for fixing an implant, suture, or tissue to a bone. The fastener comprises a blind rivet and a closing element. The blind rivet includes a head at a proximal end, a shank connected to the head, and an anchoring portion near a distal end. A bore extends through the head and shank from the proximal end to the distal end and the bore has a polygonal cross-section through the anchoring portion. The closing element has a body with an outer surface and is configured and dimensioned to be received in the anchoring portion. The outer surface of at least a portion of the closing element distal end has a polygonal cross-section flaring along the longitudinal axis toward the closing element distal end. The anchoring portion of the blind rivet severs into a plurality of anchoring legs when the closing element is pulled in the bore toward the blind rivet proximal end to thereby prevent rotation of the fastener.

Title: A double pump adapted for use as an artificial heart
Inventor: LUNDBACK STIG
IPC: A61M60/882
Filed: 1985-03-22
Granted: 1989-03-16
Abstract: A double pump adapted for use as an artificial heart includes two ventricle-simulating chambers that are provided with respective inlets and outlets having valves incorporated therein and that are separated by a common partitioning wall structure. The wall structure has sections that are driven away from each other to reduce the volumes of respective ventricle chambers and expel liquid from the chambers through the outlets. The wall structure can also move laterally in response to differences in pressure between the chambers and hence change the volumetric ratio between them. This ensures a balanced action between the two halves of the heart- simulating pump during a systole phase and a diastole phase. The link mechanism is actuated by a cord through a motor, although only in one direction in the pressure phase, and hence the aforementioned changed volumes are readjusted primarily through the pressure exerted by the inflowing fluid. The pump may also include a variable volume atrium-simulating chamber communicating with the inlet to each ventricle-simulating chamber and having volume that is controlled in part by an externally acting gas pressure that varies in accordance with changes in the volumes of the ventricle chambers.

Abstract: An adhesive bilayer transdermal dosage system capable of sustained release of a pharmaceutically active drug to the skin of a human patient having a first component layer which is a pharmaceutically active drug-containing essentially planar sheet of an at least partially cross-linked acrylic adhesive. The planar sheet is formed of a flexible self-supporting cross-linked acrylate of sufficient adhesivity, durability and strength whereby intimate diffusional contact with the skin of the patient is maintained for a period of at least about 24 hours without destruction of the physical integrity of the sheet. The sheet is capable of retaining, dispersed therein, sufficient pharmaceutically active drug to deliver to the skin a pharmaceutically effective amount of the drug over a 24-hour period without dissolution of the at least partially crosss-linked acrylic adhesive. The system also contains a second component layer intimately adhered to one side of the first component layer. The second component layer is resistant to the passage of the pharmaceutically active drug from the first component layer. Methods for making the first component layer and dosage system are also disclosed.
