Abstract: A valved catheter is disclosed having an elongated, flexible tubular element defining a lumen extending along an axis substantially parallel to the central axis of the tubular element, and a bidirectional check valve assembly near its distal end which controls fluid flow in the tubular element. The valve assembly includes an aspiration valve offset from the tip of the distal end and an infusion valve formed at the tip of the distal end. The aspiration valve is generally defined by port(s) in the tubular element and a sleeve within the element underlying the ports, where the sleeve normally closes the ports. The aspiration valve permits fluid flow from the bloodstream into the element when the static fluid pressure inside the distal end is lower than the static fluid pressure outside the aspiration valve by an amount sufficient to displace the sleeve to allow fluid flow through the ports. The infusion valve includes a throat formed in the distal end which tapers down to a mouth formed by jaws at the tip. The mouth is essentially closed to fluid inflow from the patient into the tubular element and normally closed to fluid outflow from the tubular element into the patient. The infusion valve permits fluid infusion into the bloodstream when the static fluid pressure inside of the tubular element sidtal end is higher than the static fluid pressure outside of the infusion valve by an amount sufficient to force the mouth open. A bidirectionally valved multiple lumen catheter is also disclosed.

Abstract: Flywheel-based energy storage devices, with methods for their use and fabrication. The devices have the capacity to store electric energy as kinetic energy and to generate electric energy from the stored kinetic energy. Preferred devices comprise a pair of counter-rotating anisotropic flywheels which are designed to rotate rapidly within an evacuated housing. The flywheels comprise a lightweight hub and a circumferentially-wound fiber rim. The hub and rim are fabricated from materials having high tensile strength and are connected with systems of novel tube assemblies positioned around the hub parallel to the axis of rotation. The flywheels are principally supported by magnetic bearings and are further stabilized during rotation by a self-restoring liquid bearing system.

Abstract: A process for starting up the continuous production of butyric acid by fermentation of a medium containing a starting amount of a nutrient substrate and a microorganism that converts the nutrient into butyric acid, that avoids an excess of nutrient in the fermentation broth and comprises the steps of (1) fermenting in a fermentor in batch style an amount of the medium that is substantially less than the working volume of the fermentor until the amount of the nutrient not yet converted is no more than a small fraction of the starting amount, (2) adding medium to the fermentor without removing any of the fermentation broth, until it contains approximately its working volume, then, (3) while continuing the addition, removing the fermentation broth containing the butyric acid product at a continuous rate that maintains a constant volume of medium in the fermentor, and thereafter maintaining continuous operation of the fermentation.

Abstract: A vibrating toothbrush which includes a toothbrush body (12) and a lever arm (14) having toothbrush bristles (18) at one end thereof. The lever arm (14) is mounted for pivotal movement at a pivot member (16) which is in the vicinity of the other end of the lever arm (14). In one embodiment, a pair of permanent magnets (44, 46) are provided at the other end of the lever arm (14), positioned side-by-side with opposite polarities. An electromagnet (24) is provided to the rear of the lever arm (14). The elecromagnet (24) includes an E-core having top, bottom and center legs (30, 31, 33) with a coil (36) wound around its center leg (33) which receives an alternating current driving signal from an oscillator/battery section (38). The frequency of operation is in the range of 150-400 Hz. The action of the alternating current in the electromagnet (24) causes the lever arm (14) to move about the pivot member (16), first in one direction and then in an opposing direction to provide the desired vibrating effect.
