Patent JP-4166915-B2 (JP)
IPC: A61M5/158
Filed: 1999-12-22
Granted: 2008-10-15
Abstract: A solid blunt and a needle assembly having a solid blunt. The solid blunt helps to prevent accidental needle sticks. In one exemplary embodiment, a solid blunt has an outer dimension (e.g. outer diameter) which is nearly equal to an inner dimension (e.g. inner diameter) of a cannula of a needle which is configured to contain the solid blunt. In one example, the solid blunt substantially blocks fluid flow in a first circumferential portion of an inner diameter of the cannula and allows fluid flow in a second circumferential portion of the inner diameter. The solid blunt is typically capable of longitudinal movement through the cannula and is prevented from moving substantially in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal movement. A needle assembly, in another exemplary embodiment, includes a solid blunt, a cannula and a clip which couples slidably the solid blunt to a frame which is coupled to the cannula. The present invention may be used with medical devices including needles, introducers and catheters and other devices as well. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for forming three-dimensional objects comprises irradiating with a source (24) an uncured photopolymer (11) by transmitting an effective amount of photopolymer solidifying radiation through a radiation transmittant material (13, 16, and 23) with areas of different opacity (18-22) which leaves the irradiated surface capable of further cross-linking so that when a subsequent portion of solid object (25) is formed it will adhere thereto. In another embodiment other means of preserving subsequent cross-linking are used instead of the transmittant material. Using either method three-dimensional objects (25) can be made layer by layer or point by point.

Abstract: A method of preparing a porous film comprises electrodepositing material from a mixture onto a substrate, the mixture comprising: (I) a source of metal, inorganic oxide, non-oxide semiconductor/conductor or organic polymer, (II) a solvent such as water; and (III) a structure-directing agent such as octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether in an amount sufficient to form an homogeneous lyotropic liquid crystalline phase in the mixture. Electrodepositing the film from a lyotropic liquid phase in this manner provides a porous film having a substantially regular structure and substantially uniform pore size. Following deposition, the porous film may be treated to remove the structure-directing agent. The porous film may optionally be subjected to further treatment such as the electrochemical or chemical insertion of ionic species, the physical absorption of organic, inorganic or organometallic species, or the electrodeposition, solution phase deposition or gas phase deposition of organic, inorganic or organometallic species.

Abstract: The present invention provides an innovative method and apparatus for determining continuous, visual clamp load status during tightening and throughout the life of a fastener. The present invention provides a nondeformable element (or in some cases elements) that is suitably configured and positioned within a fastener to amplify the deformation of the fastener as a load is applied to the fastener. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a lever is connected at an internal pivot point of a cartridge. One end of the lever rests upon an abutment within the fastener, while the other end serves as an indicator. As the fastener is tightened, the fastener will elongate causing the abutment to move away form the lever end. As the abutment moves, the lever rotates causing the indicator end to move relative to the visual scale which is calibrated to indicate clamping force. If the fastener loses tension, the fastener will contract, thereby forcing the lever to rotate toward its original position. Assembly and calibration of the device requires the simple, inexpensive process of rotating a cartridge.

Abstract: Processes are provided for producing purified, hepatitis B surface antigen particles in mammalian cells which comprise culturing mammalian cells which produce the particles in a culture medium supplemented with a serum free of high molecular weight contaminant proteins and recovering the purified, hepatitis B surface antigen particles. Removal of molecules having a molecular weight greater than about 3 x 10<5> daltons by prefractionation, for example, allows cells to be grown in culture media containing high levels of fetal calf serum, removes high molecular weight contaminant proteins which may be inhibitory to cell growth and simplifies purification of HBsAg since high molecular weight contaminant proteins are the major contaminants removed by purification processes.

According to the invention, the image points are proportionally tracked to lateral movement of the observer by shifting, for each colored subpixel, of the intensities of the colored subpixels to horizontally adjacent colored subpixels. The method can be used with known devices. It becomes especially useful when, for each image point, n+1 adjacent colored subpixels are addressed. Observers moving sideways continue to see the image in practically consistently high quality.
