Abstract: A catheter and introducer needle assembly with a needle shield is provided. The needle shield (40) includes a means for preventing unwanted distal movement of the needle (31) once the needle has been withdrawn into the needle shield. The needle shield also includes a means for connecting the needle shield to the catheter hub (24) until the sharp distal tip of the introducer needle has been withdrawn into the needle shield. Thus, when the distal end of the introducer needle extends from the distal portion of the needle shield, the needle shield is connected to the catheter hub and when the sharp distal end of the introducer needle is withdrawn into the needle shield, the needle shield is disconnected from the catheter hub.

Abstract: Embedded protocol objects. Dynamic and static protocol objects are mixed together at a server and included in a dynamic reply to a communication request made by a client application. In effect, static protocol objects can be embedded in dynamic replies, along with dynamic protocol objects. When a request is made by a client to receive a reply, such as a Web page using the HTTP application protocol, the server creates at least one dynamic protocol object to form at least a portion of the reply. The dynamic protocol object or objects are sent to the client application. Static protocol objects are then retrieved and sent to the client application to complete the reply to the application protocol request at the client application.

Abstract: The static mixer (10) contains screw-like mixing sections (16, 18) of differing pitch. Preferred Features: The mixing sections form a sequence alternating between greater and lesser pitch. Their pitches differ. The mixing sections differ in their sense of rotation. The initial edge of one section, is offset at an angle with respect to the terminal edge of the preceding section. Mixing sections with smaller pitch, are shorter than those with greater pitch, measured along the length of the channel (14). The sections of smaller pitch, have a length about 0.5 times the channel diameter. Those with greater pitch have a length of 0.9-1 times the channel diameter. A mixing section has an angle of rotation of about 180 degrees .
