Title: Injector apparatus comprising two slidably connected conduits
Inventor: COWE TOBY
IPC: A61M5/178
Filed: 2013-05-03
Abstract: An injector apparatus is disclosed for use with a container 20 of therapeutic material. The apparatus comprises a first body portion 30 arranged to be fixed relative to the container 20 and defining a first conduit portion 32 for the delivery of the therapeutic material from said container 20. A second body 40 is slidably connected to the first body 30 and defines a second conduit portion 42, in fluid communication with the first conduit portion 32. Relative sliding motion between the first body 30 and second body 40 results in the displacement of one of the conduit portions into the other such that the combined volume of the conduit may be decreased. Preferably one of the conduit portions comprises a chamber and the other provides a piston received within said chamber. A non return valve for a container or injector is also disclosed comprising a flexible membrane extended across an opening and retained on a shoulder surrounding the opening, the membrane having at least one slit positioned proximal to the periphery of the membrane, such that the slit overlies the shoulder of the container or injector.

Title: Mobile radiation imaging apparatus and mobile radiation imaging system
Inventor: OMURA SATORU
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2013-09-10
Abstract: A mobile radiation imaging apparatus includes a radiation generation means, such as an x-ray tube 1, a cart or trolley unit 6, supporting members 2, 3, 4, 5 formed on the cart and for holding the radiation generation means in a movable manner with respect to the cart. A detector 100, which can be a contact sensor, detects whether the radiation generating means is in a non imaging position by determining whether there is contact between a beam 3 and cart 6 for example. A control unit 101 limits the motion of the supporting member, for example using brakes or a dead-man lock type member, according to the position of the radiation generating means as determined by the detector. This allows the chance of a collision between the radiation generation means and other parts of the apparatus to be reduced. It may also include a display 9 or protruding means (304, figure 3) which can be made of rubber or the like, to act as a buffer. A load sensor can also be included, if the load sensor detects a load greater than a particular threshold value, the control unit 101 can disable the motion limitation to allow movement.
