Patent GB-0127130-D0 (GB)
Title: A laryngoscope
IPC: A61B1/267
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention provides a laryngoscope comprising a blade; a doployable mirror, and an operating mechanism, the operating mechanism being arranged to deploy the mirror. The mirror is pivotable with respect to the blade and the arrangement is such that an initial operation of the operating mechanism causes the mirror to be deployed while further operation of the operating mechanism causes the mirror to be pivoted with respect to the blade. In the preferred embodiment, the blade has a pivotable tip which is also operable by the operating mechanism. The deployment of the mirror, the pivoting of the mirror 30 and the pivoting of the tip 18 can all be performed by operation of a single operating mechanism, preferably in the form of a simple lever. The laryngoscope may therefore readily be operated using only one hand and without the need for any dextrous finger movements.

Title: Upright and modular support assembly using same
IPC: A47B57/42
Filed: 2001-11-22
Abstract: Upright (100) for a modular support assembly where the upright is a linear member having a polygonal cross-section defining a plurality of mutually adjacent faces. Each face resides in a plane so as to define elongate corner portions, each portion having one or more indentations formed along the length of the member. The upright also includes retaining structures (110) formed around the one or more indentations, the structures positioned generally transverse to the long axis of the upright, and defining recesses in the one or more indentations. The recesses thus formed receive and retain insertable engagement means (330) extending from the rear surface (350) of horizontal support members. The faces of the upright form a quasi-corrugated perimeter which more easily support compressional forces. The faces also form a backing for the recesses resisting torques generated by loads on the horizontal support members. A modular support assembly using these uprights is also discussed. <IMAGE>

Title: Self sealing water trap
IPC: A61M16/08
Filed: 2001-12-07
Abstract: A water trap suitable for use in a mechanical ventilation circuit comprising a cap with an inlet and an outlet, a fluid collection vessel engageable with the cap, and a rotatable closure with at least one aperture interposed between the cap and the vessel. The vessel is operably linked to the closure such that engagement or disengagement of the vessel from the cap causes the closure to be rotated. The cap is formed with an internal partition extending into abutment with the closure to define a chamber via which the inlet and outlet are in fluid communication and the closure forming a base of the chamber. When the vessel is engaged with the cap, the closure has a first orientation in which the at least one aperture is located within the periphery of the skirt in the base of the chamber and the vessel is in communication with the chamber via the at least one aperture. When the vessel is removed from the cap the closure is rotated to a second orientation in which the at least one aperture is located externally of the periphery of the skirt and the base of the chamber.

Title: Data storage systems
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: A host data processing system includes a data storage system having a cache memory and a back end storage. In response to a detection of an event failure during an input/output (I/O) request from the host data processing system to the data storage system, the data associated with the I/O request is forwarded to the back end storage data, and a copy of the data associated with the I/O request is sent to the cache memory. A determination is made as to whether or not there is an acknowledgement from the back end storage regarding the receipt of the data associated with the I/O request. If there is an acknowledgement from the back end storage regarding the receipt of the data associated with the I/O request, the data associated with the I/O request is flushed from the cache memory, and the received acknowledgement is routed to the host data processing system.
