Abstract: A diagnostic catheter comprises an inner layer of 100 percent polyamide over which is a braided metal wire sleeve and an outer layer formed as a blend of either the polyamide and PEBA along with a suitable radiopaque filler or, alternatively, a blend of PEBA having different durometers. Affixed either directly to the end of the above tubular body or to a stem member secured to that tubular body is a soft-tip formed from a blend of PEBA whose hardness is such that the catheter can be considered as having an atraumatic tip. The resulting catheter exhibits excellent torque and column strength characteristics while providing a relatively large diameter lumen for a given outside diameter.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell has a wheel shaped, molded plastic seal member of a unitary construction which includes a central cylindrical hub from which depend in outward radial sequence, an annular pressure vent, a boss, a downward projecting skirt, an annular flexure means for providing radial movement and an outer rim terminating at its periphery in a cylindrical wall. The pressure vent includes a thin membrane ring depending from the hub which joins the hub to an annular diaphragm. A hinge ring joins the periphery of the diaphragm to the boss. The seal member is designed so that the membrane ring fails primarily in shear at excessive cell pressure which makes the vent more reliable and easier to fabricate.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une prothèse de noyau de disque intervertébral en forme de coussin allongé (10), qui est conçue pour être implantée dans un disque intervertébral humain (32) et qui est constituée d'une âme en hydrogel (12) et d'une jaquette de confinement flexible (14) entourant l'âme en hydrogel (12) pour lui permettre de se dilater et de se contracter. L'âme en hydrogel (12) possède une longueur avoisinant le diamètre sagittal d'un noyau du disuqe intervertébral humain, une largeur inférieure à cette longueur et une hauteur inférieure à cette longueur et à cette largeur. L'âme en hydrogel va se dilater et se contracter de la façon désirée à mesure qu'elle s'imbibe de fluides et qu'elle expulse des fluides en réponse aux diverses charges placées sur la moelle épinière. La jaquette de confinement (14) est poreuse pour permettre aux fluides de passer à travers l'âme en hydrogel (12), tout en empêchant l'hydrogel (12) de sortir, stimulant ainsi la physiologie naturelle du disque intervertébral humain. En implantant deux de ces prothèses de noyau de disque intervertébral (10) côte à côte dans un disque endommagé (32) de la colonne d'un patient, la hauteur et le mouvement du disque en question peuvent être préservés.

Date Aug. 8, 1996Earmuff and method for changing the noise attenuation characteristic of an earmuff. The change is obtained by providing foam-filled sealing ring of the earmuff in the annular covering thereof with a large number of ventilation apertures which are uniformly distributed along the sealing ring, thereby affecting the air spring action of the sealing ring. The ventilation apertures communicate with the environment without communicating with interior of the earmuff. By reducing the air spring action to a considerable extent, the low frequency attenuation is improved. The communication with the environment provides "acoustic ducts", particular by using special ventilation ducts which can be dimensioned to give a selective noise transmission, dependent on the duct resonance, into the sealing ring, thereby selectively affecting the noise attenuation characteristic.

Abstract: An angiographic injector system (10) includes a motor driven pump (18) which delivers radiographic contrast material to a catheter (30) at a variable flow rate which is interactively controlled by a user. Operation of the pump (18) is controlled by the user, through a user actuated remote control (14). The angiographic system (10) also includes a manifold (26) and a valve which selectively connects either a syringe pump (18) or a low pressure system (38) to a catheter (30) which is inserted into a patient. The valve is normally biased to a state which connects the low pressure system (38) to the catheter (30) for pressure monitoring, saline flushing, or aspirating functions. When an injection is to be made, the valve automatically switches so that the low pressure system (38) is disconnected and not exposed to high pressure, while the syringe pump (18) is connected through the manifold (26) to the catheter (30).

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for heat treatment of carbon materials and especially carbon black in a plasma process for increased order in the nanostructure, i.e. an increased degree of graphitization in the carbon black particles. The process consists in an upgrading of commercial carbon black qualities and non-graphitic carbon materials. The heat treatment is conducted in a plasma zone where the residence time and power supplied are controlled in order to ensure that the carbon material does not sublimate. Thus the carbon which is supplied to the plasma zone is prevented from being transformed and reformed into a new product.

Abstract: A brush seal device for sealing a high pressure area from a low pressure area. The brush seal device comprises a plurality of bristles arranged annularly. An annular back plate is positioned concentric to and on the low pressure side of the bristles, the back plate having a recess adapted to delay contact of the bristles with the back plate upon application of the pressure across the brush seal device. A flexible annular front plate is positioned adjacent to and concentric with the bristles on the high pressure side of the bristles.

Abstract: A device for retracting edges of an incision in a surface to form an opening including: a flexible, tubular skirt having an upper end, a lower end, and a channel therebetween; a ring connected to the lower end of the skirt for maintaining the lower end in an open configuration and defining an exit opening to the channel; and an inflatable collar connected to the skirt and surrounding the upper end. The ring is designed to fit through the incision and remain under the surface when it is oriented parallel to the surface. The collar, when inflated, maintains the upper end in an open configuration and defines an entry opening to the channel. During use, the ring is inserted through the incision and the collar is inflated while remaining outside of the incision, thereby drawing the skirt against the edges of the incision and retracting the edges of the incision to form the opening. The retracting device can be included in a surgical access port, which further includes a flexible sleeve connected to at least one of the inflatable collar and the skirt, extending the channel from the exit opening of the skirt to an open end of the flexible sleeve distal to the skirt. The device can include a light source in the vicinity of the exit opening.
