Abstract: A unit dose chlorhexadine gluconate (CHG) applicator is disclosed wherein a unit dose of the CHG is contained in a hermetically sealed manually crushable glass ampule that has an internal volume not significantly greater than the unit dose volume of the CHG. The CHG in the ampule has an effective shelf life of at least 24 months. The glass ampule of the applicator is preferably protected by a flexible cover to protect the user's hand during manual crushing of the ampule to release the CHG therefrom. In one embodiment of the invention, a cylindrical glass ampule is housed within a tubular, flexible synthetic resin cover which has a porous applicator swab at one end thereof. Upon crushing of the glass ampule, the CHG released therefrom impregnates the swab allowing the user to spread the CHG across an area to be sanitized. In a second embodiment of the invention, a cylindrical glass ampule is received within a semi-cylindrical, open-sided body cover having a flange portion that mounts a sponge-like swab communicating with the interior of the body cover. Opposed integral wing-like gripping members on the ampule permit the user to crush the ampule by squeezing the members toward one another whereupon the CHG is released from the ampule and impregnates the sponge swab. The swab soaked with the CHG antiseptic may be rubbed across an area to be sanitized.

Abstract: A toggle lever tightening device for use in the automobile industry in the assembly of automobile bodies. Toggle lever tightening devices secure one workpiece relative to a second work piece to locate the pieces for permanent connection. This toggle lever tightening device prevents deformation of the grip head and its seatings. The design of this toggle lever tightening device allows the grip head and cylinder to be constructed of light metal alloys without experiencing damaging deformation of the grip head. A very simple bearing arrangement for this toggle lever tightening device has made possible an embodiment in which a single tightening arm is provided on one side of the grip head. This single tightening arm design is highly desirable in the automobile industry. However, it results in an unfavorable introduction of forces. The pivot shaft that is driven by the toggle lever arrangement and functions to drive the tightening arm is axially and radially seated in the grip head. As a result of this construction, the axial and radial force are transferred to the walls of the grip head dependably and without causing deformation, twisting or sluggishness of the toggle lever arrangement. Bearings in the form of roller bodies are provided that simultaneously function as the axial and radial bearing. This simple bearing arrangement has permitted the use of light metals or light metal alloys for the construction of this mechanism. Major forces are dependably absorbed by an adjustable support plate that is fixed at the top dead center location of the toggle arrangement. The support plate and the fixed stop are made of hardened steel or of a ceramic material, and can be embodied with appropriately large surfaces so that the surface pressure in this area are kept low.

Abstract: An optical depolarizer (82) and method of depolarizing light is described. An
input light beam is split into two beams. One split beam is recirculated through a
birefringent medium (12) and looped back to be recombined with the input light. This
allows a weighted averaging of the different polarization states that result from
birefringence in the recirculation path of the recirculated beam. The depolarizer (82) is
formed from single mode fiber optic cables and fused single mode fiber couplers (84,86,88,90).
Each fiber coupler (84,86,88,90) has an input pair of fibers and an output pair of fibers. One of
the output fibers is coupled to one of the input fibers to form a recirculation loop.
Additionally, polarization controllers provided in the input fiber and recirculation
loop allow the degree of polarization of the output beam to be varied across a
wide spectrum of values.

Abstract: A cabling media which is suitable for high performance data
transmission includes a plurality of metallic conductors-pairs, each pair
including two plastic insulated metallic conductors which are twisted together.
The present invention describes how the selection and incorporation of metallic
conductors having different diameters within a single communication cable can
significantly enhance the operational performance of the cable. More
specifically, given a first conductor-pair having a certain conductor diameter
and twist length, and at least one other conductor-pair with a different twist
length, the present invention purposely selects metallic conductors for this
other conductor-pair with a different diameter than that of the first conductor-pair
so as to ensure that the insertion loss exhibited by the additional
conductor-pair is essentially equal to the insertion loss exhibited by the first
conductor-pair. The differing conductor diameters allows compensation for the
variance in insertion loss from one conductor-pair to the next due to changes in
the twist length employed for the plurality of conductor-pairs. Additionally, it is
described herein that the insulation thickness of the conductors may be altered
from conductor-pair to conductor-pair to ensure that the characteristic
impedance measured for the additional conductor-pair is essentially equal to
the characteristic impedance measured for the first conductor-pair. As a result
of the particular selection of conductors with differing diameters and/or
insulation thicknesses for at least two of the conductor pairs, the operational
performance of the resulting cable is improved.
