Title: Mass spectrometer
Inventor: PRINGLE STEVE
IPC: H01J49/16
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein ions from a pulsed ion source 10,11 are dispersed in a drift region 16 so that the ions become separated according to their mass to charge ratios. The ions are then received by an ion guide 1 in which multiple trapping regions are created and wherein the multiple trapping regions are translated along the length of the ion guide 1. The ion guide 1 receives the ions so that all the ions trapped in a particular trapping region have substantially the same or similar mass to charge ratios. The ions are released from the exit of the ion guide 1 and the pusher/puller electrode 14 of an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser is arranged to be energised in synchronisation with the ions emerging from the ion guide 1. The trapping regions may be translated along the ion guide 1 with a velocity which becomes progressively slower and the delay time of the pusher/puller electrode 14 may be progressively increased.

Title: Dispositif de securite pour aiguille et protection contre l'enlevement
Inventor: ALESI DANIEL E
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2002-06-12
Abstract: Un dispositif de sécurité pour aiguille possède une collerette et un boîtier raccordé pivotant. Des éléments de verrouillage coopérants sont aménagés sur la collerette et les parties inférieures respectives du boîtier de manière à ce qu'une fois que l'on a fait pivoter le boîtier pour l'aligner sur la collerette, ces éléments s'interverrouillent de façon coopérative pour retenir le boîtier sur la collerette. Afin d'empêcher la destruction des éléments de verrouillage par les parois latérales du boîtier si quelqu'un essaie de les forcer à se détacher de la collerette, on a aménagé sur la collerette des barrières sous la forme de rabats ou de pattes de protection de manière à ne pas exposer les parties de la paroi latérale qui pourraient être forcées à se séparer de la collerette. Un avantage supplémentaire des rabats de protection consiste en ce qu'ils peuvent être utilisés comme un ancrage qui assure la stabilisation permettant d'utiliser une aiguille hypodermique équipée d'un dispositif de sécurité pour aiguille de la présente invention pendant une procédure d'administration sous-cutanée à un patient.

Title: Administration of insulin by jet injection
Inventor: VELUSSI MARIO
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 2002-08-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for minimizing mean blood glucose levels in an insulin dependent patient by administering insulin to the patient in a sufficiently fast manner to provide a difference of 50% or less between high and low blood glucose levels. Advantageously, the insulin is administered to the patient by jet injection and the high and low blood glucose levels differ by an amount that is less than that which would be obtained after injection of insulin by a conventional needle syringe. The invention also relates to a method for reducing mean blood glucose levels in an insulin dependent patient that is receiving insulin through a conventional syringe and needle arrangement. This method provides for administration of the insulin to the patient by jet injection rather than by the syringe by substituting a jet injector for the syringe.
