Title: Suction metering and mixing device
Inventor: BAILEY JAMES C
IPC: A61M1/14
Filed: 1992-02-14
Abstract: A suction metering and mixing device is disclosed for collecting body fluids such as blood and simultaneously mixing an anticoagulant therewith. The device includes a suction passage (12) having an inlet end (14) and an opposite end (16) for connection to a vacuum supply. A chamber (17) is provided for controlling the flow of anticoagulant and includes a movable passage for conveying anticoagulant into the chamber (17) and a diaphragm (30) dividing the chamber (17) into first (44) and second (46) portions wherein the movable passage may be moved from a position spaced from the diaphragm (30) to a use position in contact with the diaphragm (30) to prevent flow of anticoagulant into the first chamber portion (44). A fluid connection (66) is provided between the suction passage (12) and the second chamber portion (46) whereby a vacuum may be supplied to the second chamber portion (46) from the suction passage (12) and the diaphragm (30) is drawn away from the movable passage to allow anticoagulant to flow into the first chamber portion (44). The anticoagulant then flows through a supply tube (58) to a position adjacent to the inlet (14) to the suction passage (12) where it is mixed with blood entering the suction passage (12).

Title: Electrolytic cell with gas electrodes and method for electrolysis by the same
Inventor: HIRAO KAZUHIRO
IPC: C25B9/19
Filed: 1994-02-03
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE    An   electrolytic   cell   of   horizontal   type constructed such that the electrolytic cell proper is divided  horizontally  by  one  or  two  ion  exchange membranes.  If one ion exchange membrane is used, the cell  is  divided  into  a  cathode  and  an  anode compartment holding a gas electrode.   If  two ion exchange membranes are used, the cell is divided into a cathode compartment, an intermediate compartment, and an anode compartment.   This arrangement permits the gas electrode and the current collector to be in contact with each other under a uniform pressure, and also allows for smooth gas discharge.  This leads to a reduction in the electrolytic potential of the cell.

Title: Commutator finishing methods and apparatus
Inventor: SBALCHIERO FEDERICO
IPC: H01R43/14
Filed: 1994-06-24
Abstract: commutators of armatures for electric motors or other dynamo-electric machines are finished by subjecting them to inspection and turning operations.     The first inspection operation determines the minimum amount of material that can be cut while producing a high quality armature. This determination may indicate that no formal turning is required, only finishing.      The turning operation, if applicable, cuts the commutator to a substantially cylindrical shape which is substantially concentric with the axis of rotation of the armature. The finishing operation, which may be performed by the same mechanism as the turning operation, imparts a desired axial roughness to the. cylindrical commutator surface. The commutators may be inspected after the turning and finishing operations to generate data useful for such purposes as automatically modifying the turning and finishing operations performed on subsequent commutators.
