Title: Liquid injection device, system and method
Inventor: BRASS JACK
IPC: F25B45/00
Filed: 1996-02-07
Abstract: A liquid injector has a tubular body (11) surrounding and shielding a glass tube (7). The body and tube are sealed at opposing ends by a valve coupler (3) and an end fill cap (13), each with their own O-ring seals. There are three openings (41) through the body to allow for viewing of the contents of the tube, and to allow for light to pass into the tube. The injector is connected at the valve coupler through a hose and an on-off valve to the low side of an air conditioning system. It is connected through the end fill cap to a refrigerant charging system. The valve is shut off and the end fill cap is removed. The body is held upright and the liquid to be injected is poured into the glass tube. The fill end cap is replaced and the valve turned on. The charging system propels the liquid into the air conditioning system. The tube can be viewed through the openings to determine that a sufficient quantity of the liquid has been propelled from the injector. A supplemental reservoir for combination with an inline end fill injector has a receptable providing a chamber with opposing threaded apertures.      The threads match those of the body and the fill cap, respectively.   The receptacle can be provided as an adaptor wind base combination.      The receptacles can be provided in different sizes by changing the size of the adaptors. This provides for different size injectors without having to use a different injector for each desired size.

Title: Metallic glass alloys for mechanically resonant marker surveillance systems
Inventor: MARTIS RONALD
IPC: G01V15/00
Filed: 1996-04-12
Abstract: A glassy metal alloy consists essentially of the formula Co a Fe b Ni c M d B e S if C g, where M is selected from molybdenum and chromium and "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" "f"  and "g" are in atom percent, "a"  ranges from about 40 to about 43, "b" ranges from about 35 to about 42 and "c" ranges from 0 to about 5, "d" ranges from 0 to about 3, "e" ranges from about to about 25, "f" ranges from 0 to about 15 and "g" ranges from 0 to about 2. The alloy can be cast by rapid solidification into ribbon, annealed to enhance magnetic properties thereof, and formed into a marker that is especially suited for use in magneto-mechanically actuated article surveillance systems.  Advantageously, the marker is characterized by relatively linear magnetization response in the frequency regime wherein harmonic marker systems operate magnetically. Voltage amplitudes detected for the marker are high, and interference between surveillance systems based on mechanical resonance and harmonic re-radiance is virtually eliminated.

Title: Drainage unit with controlled negativity relief feature
Inventor: SWISHER DAVID R
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: The present invention provides for an improved airflow sensitive float valve (38) interposed between the collection chamber (15) and one arm of the water seal chamber (16) for allowing the patient to draw as much vacuum pressure as is required during deep inspiration. The float valve also functions to provide for an automatic controlled release of excess negtive pressure in the collection chamber during either continuous auto-transfusion or when there is a low airflow rate condition present. By tailoring a specific amount of water to a given size chamber, the water column inside the water seal chamber is allowed to momentarily engage the floating mechanism before the water seal chamber is emptied of water, and a column of air is subsequently forced through the water column towards the momentarily sealed valve.

Patent CA-2260578-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OSTERMANN JOERN
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 1999-01-26
Abstract: An encoding apparatus and method adjust texture information for a video object based on original shape information for the video object. The original shape information is not encoded shape information or information that has been encoded and then decoded. In a preferred embodiment, the texture information is adjusted by 0 padding pets near the boundary of the video obj ect in an inter mode, or by lowpass extrapolation filtering pets near the boundary of the video object in an infra mode where the boundary of the video object is defined by the original shape information. Lossy shape encoding can therefore be performed while decreasing the overall encoded bit rate, improving the subjective appearance of the decoded video object and decreasing computational complexity of the encoder and/or encoding method. Adaptive scanning and subsampling of macroblocks can be avoided while having little effect on overall bitrate and significantly decreasing computational complexity of the encoding process.

Title: System and method of use for revascularizing stenotic bypass grafts and others blood vessels
Inventor: NASH JOHN E
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A system and method for opening a lumen in an occluded blood vessel, e.g., a coronary bypass graft, of a living being. The system comprises an atherectomy catheter having a working head, e.g., a rotary impacting impeller, and a debris extraction sub-system. The atherectomy catheter is located within a guide catheter. The working head is arranged to operate on, e.g., impact, the occlusive material in the occluded vessel to open a lumen therein, whereupon some debris may be produced. The debris extraction sub-system introduces an infusate liquid at a first flow rate adjacent the working head and withdraws that liquid and some blood at a second and higher flow rate, through the guide catheter to create a differential flow adjacent the working head, whereupon the debris is withdrawn in the infusate liquid and blood for collection outside the being's body. The introduction of the infusate liquid may also be used to establish an unbalanced flow adjacent the working head to enable the atherectomy catheter to be steered hydrodynamically. A guide wire having an inflatable balloon on its distal end may be used with the atherectomy catheter to block the flow of debris distally, while enabling distal tissues to be perfused with an oxygenating liquid.
