Title: Implant syringe
Inventor: KNEER ROLAND
IPC: A61M37/00
Filed: 2000-12-05
Granted: 2006-12-14
Abstract: An implant syringe including a guide sleeve which has seated therein a syringe needle arrangement composed of a syringe needle, a needle holder, a grip member and a preparation receiving member. The syringe needle arrangement is blocked in an initial state by two spring arms that are cut out from the guide sleeve and obliquely project inwards such that they rest on a rear wall of the syringe needle arrangement. When the plunger of the implant syringe is pushed forwards to advance the preparation up to the head end of the syringe, a sleeve which is connected to the plunger abuts on the spring arms and bends them outwards, whereby the syringe needle arrangement can be retracted. The two operations are carried out without changing the position of the hand, thereby simplifying the handling of the implant syringe.

Title: Gear pump extrusion heat control
Inventor: MCKELVEY JAMES M
IPC: B29C48/41
Filed: 1984-12-05
Granted: 1987-09-10
Abstract: A gear pump assisted screw conveyor extrusion system utilizing a cartridge heating device disposed axially within the screw and having the drives for the gear pump and the screw correlated in speed to create relatively little pressure in the thermoplastic material being extruded such that relatively little mechanical working thereof occurs. The thermoplastic material is melted in the screw conveyor primarily by heat transfer from the cartridge heater and the gear pump is utilized for conveying the melted material under pressure to a subsequent work station. A relatively deep material-conveying spiral channel is provided in the screw for maximized extrusion output per revolution of the screw and minimized mechanical energy generation by the screw. A motionless mixer may be employed intermediate the screw and the work station to homogenize the melted material for reducing temperature gradients therein. The system advantageously is capable of extruding material at a substantially greater rate and a lower material temperature and with substantially increased power economy than conventional systems utilizing a high pressure, externally heated screw conveyor portion.

Title: Solid cosmetic composition with hexanediol-behenyl beeswax
Inventor: LEE WILSON
IPC: A61Q15/00
Filed: 1997-09-04
Granted: 2000-11-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a solid (e.g., cream, such as semi-solid or soft solid) cosmetic composition containing an active cosmetic material (e.g., a deodorant active, an antiperspirant active, a sunscreen, an insect repellent and/or an anti-fungal agent), volatile (e.g., cyclomethicone) and linear chain (e.g., dimethicone and/or phenyl trimethicone) silicone materials, and at least one gelling agent. The at least one gelling agent includes hexanediol-behenyl beeswax, and is included in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide the solid composition. By incorporating the hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, conventional gelling agents such as fatty alcohols and hydrogenated castor oil need not be incorporated in the composition. When an antiperspirant active material is incorporated in the solid composition containing hexanediol-behenyl beeswax as a gelling agent, a solid antiperspirant composition that is efficacious and leaves no visible (white) residue, can be achieved.

Title: Distributed control store word architecture
Inventor: KELLY RICHARD P
IPC: G06F9/26
Filed: 1985-10-16
Granted: 1988-11-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus for a microinstruction controlled unit having multiple subunits which are controlled by microoperations encoded within microinstructions from a control store. One master subunit controls the order in which the microinstructions are executed by generating the address of the next microinstruction to be read from the control store. The method provides for the overlapping of the execution of a current microinstruction while the next microinstruction is being addressed and read from the control store. The control store is divided into control substores with each control substore located near the subunit which executes the microoperations stored in its associated control substore. Subunits can affect the order of microinstruction execution by causing a trap in the master subunit which will cause the next microinstruction to be read from a predefined address within the control store. If required, the master subunit can read in status information from the subunits in order to determine the condition within the subunits that caused the trap to occur. A means is provided for storing a return address which allows for rexecution to continue at the next microinstruction that would have executed had a trap not occurred.
