Abstract: This invention relates to a method of catheter and radiating coil location in a human body and in particular to the determination over time of the location of the tip of a catheter as it is inserted and during its use in the body. In particular when a radiating coil is used in conjunction with a catheter, a coil locating device can be used to determine the distance the coil is from the device and hence its depth in the body of a patient. To assist a clinician using the coil-locating device, a display is provided that shows both a reference image of a part or portion of a body (non-subject body) and an image of the coil located on the display with reference to the reference image. This is achieved by locating the coil-locating device on or over a predetermined landmark on the patient's body. The coil and its associated signal wires can be incorporated into a stylet, guide wire or a catheter. The coil locating device has a preferable triangular shape in plan view that allows it uppermost apex to be orientated towards the head of the patient and for an axis of the device to be aligned with the mid sagittal plane of the patient. Preferable landmarks on a human body include the xiphoid sternal junction and the caudal/mid sagittal aspect of the jugular sternal notch.

Title: Beverage dispenser and automatic shut-off valve
Inventor: COCHRAN JOHN D
IPC: B67D1/00
Filed: 2002-09-27
Granted: 2007-11-20
Abstract: A beverage mixing and dispensing valve, or a beverage dispenser including the valve, includes and automatic shut-off features. A user presses a cup or container against a lever (14) on a soft-drink dispenser. The lever closes a switch to activate the opening of a solenoid-operated valve (10). At the same time, a detection circuit is monitored to determine whether overflow of drink or foam has occurred. When drink or foam overflows and bridges a gap between two metal conductors (72) on the lever, resistance is lowered and electricity flows in the detection circuit. The valve then automatically shuts off the flow of beverage. Energy is saved in keeping the valve open using a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique for voltage to the solenoid, rather than using a steady-state voltage.

Abstract: A manipulator is provided for an instrument for minimally invasive surgery. The manipulator is provided with a main axis accommodated in a bearing for coupling the manipulator to a solid world, and is provided with a first moveable carriage, on which first carriage the instrument is detachably mounted. The first carriage is positioned on a first arm that connects to a parallelogram construction comprising the main axis, and a handle being placed on, or forming part of, a second arm connected to the parallelogram construction opposite the first arm. Both the instrument and the handle extend below the main axis such that a body axis of that handle always extends parallel to the instrument to provide the instrument with a fixed virtual pivoting point in the plane in which the instrument intersects the body of a patient. The fixed virtual pivot point lies on a virtual line in the extended direction of the main axis and allows pivoting of the instrument about three planes, in accordance with movement of said handle, whereby the fixed virtual pivot point remains fixed independent of the movements of the instrument and said handle.

Granted: 2012-09-25
Abstract: A method of manufacture of a bottle which may be closed by a push-on closure, apparatus for manufacturing the same, a bottle and a closure for the bottle. A bottle (72) is manufactured in a multi-component assembly. The bottle preform (not shown) is made by an injection moulding technique, having detents on its upwardly and outwardly facing surfaces. It is then transferred to a blow mould where it is first heated, and then shaped by inserting a blow pin (62) through the neck of the preform to stretch it in its longitudinal axis. During this operation, the top surface of the preform is bent down, such that the detent formed on the upwardly facing surface of the preform now extends laterally into the volume of the preform. The stretched preform is then blown to take the shape of the blow mould, forming the bottle (72). A closure is formed by injection moulding, and is held on the bottle by the laterally extending detents.
