Title: Laparoscopic sealant applicator
Inventor: TRUMBULL HORACE R
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 1998-03-27
Granted: 2006-06-13
Abstract: A laparoscopic applicator device (10) for the selective directional application of one or more liquids to a surgical site is disclosed. The device (10) comprises a handle (12) with liquid inlets (16, I8, 20) at one end, discrete channels within one or more tubes (21) connecting with said inlets (16, 18, 20) extending through said handle (12) to a nozzle (22), and a dual injection shaft (14) at the nozzle end for inserting the shaft (14) and nozzle (22) through a surgical trocar. The dual shaft (14) comprises a rigid portion immediately adjacent the handle (12) and a flexible portion near the nozzle tip. Means are provided preferably within the handle (12), for the controlled articulation of the flexible shaft (14)/nozzle (22) assembly, thereby providing application of the liquids in a desired direction. The present invention is particularly useful in the application of surgical sealants, e.g., fibrin sealants. Methods of applying such components are also a part of the invention.

Abstract: A coin packaging apparatus is provided, which has a structure facilitating confirmation of incorrectness of packaging paper and correct packaging paper when wrong packaging paper is set, and facilitating replacement of the packaging paper. In the coin packaging apparatus according to the invention, a comparator compares the paper width value of the packaging paper detected by a paper width detecting device with a recommended paper width value at a predetermined timing before starting coin packaging operation, to progress the operation under judgement that the packaging paper is correct if the result of comparison indicates that the calculated paper width value is within the predetermined allowable range for the recommended paper width value, and to represent incorrectness of the packaging paper and the recommended paper width value and have the packaging paper gripped by the paper supply/discharge device be discharged automatically or manually under judgement that the packaging paper is wrong if the calculated paper width value is out of the predetermined allowable range for the recommended paper width value.

Abstract: A noise reduced photon detector incorporates an array (10) of semiconductor diode detector elements (12). Each element (12) has an extrinsic active layer (20) sandwiched between two layers (18, 22) of wider bandgap and mutually opposite conductivity type. These layers are in turn sandwiched between two further layers (16, 24) of wider bandgap than the active layer (20) and of higher doping than the other layers (18, 22). A mirror (34) extends round much the array (10) and isolates each element (12) from photons emitted by other elements (12). In operation the elements (12) are reverse biased and exhibit negative luminescence which reduces their photon emission. These two effects reduce unwanted photon generation and absorption, and consequently photon noise is also reduced.

Abstract: In an engine crankcase ventilation system, a blowby gas passage (25) and a fresh air passage (26) are defined between adjoining crankcase members so as to extend in parallel with a crankshaft axial line along either side of a lower part of said crankcase assembly. Because the crankcase is configured to receive the rotating crankshaft (7) provided with counterweights, it necessarily has a circular cross section. Therefore, this arrangement allows effective utilization of the available space. Thus, a cavity of a required volume for effective oil separation and pressure pulsation damping can be formed in the engine main body without increasing the number of components parts, and without complicating or increasing the size of the overall structure.

Abstract: Compositions for scavenging oxygen are disclosed. These compositions compris e copolyamides comprising over 50 weight percent polyamide segments and an active oxygen scavenging amount of polyolefin oligomer segments. The polyamide segments comprise segments derived from typical bottling and packaging polyamides such as polyhexamethyleneadipamide and polyphthalamides. The copolymers are preferably formed by transesterification during reactive extrusion and typically comprise about 0.5 to about 12 wt.% of polyolefin oligomer segments. The copolyamides provide enhanced active and passive oxygen barrie r properties over similar polyester constructions and similar polyamide constructions, when used in a laminar construction. In a series of preferred embodiments, multi-layered bottles fabricated with the oxygen scavenging copolyamides of this invention are about 99.8 wt.% polyamide and suitable for recycle with other polyamide bottles.

Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: A clip for use on a track of a snowmobile of the type having a suspension system equipped with one or more elongated slide runners, the track consisting of an endless body having an outer face with transverse ground engaging profiles spaced longitudinally thereof and inner surface adapted to receive, on portions of the lower run thereof, a slide runner of the suspension system. The clip has an inner wall and a pair of side walls engaging the body of the track. The inner wall includes a flat face receiving a slide runner thereon during use of the snowmobile. The flat face displays a series of holes whereby snow or ice over which the snowmobile travels, when lodged in these holes during use, provides lubrication for the sliding contact of the slide runner on a clip and cooling of the clip body from heat generated by the frictional contact of the slide runner on the clip. Furthermore, the presence of these holes reduces the weight of the track so that this mass reduction allows higher rotational speed and less damage to reinforcing rods embedded in the track.

IPC: G03B21/00
Filed: 1999-12-24
Granted: 2008-02-05
Abstract: A projector can be easily set up and adjusted. In accordance with a projection condition inputted into a microcomputer via a remote controller, the microcomputer selects an optimum projection lens by referring to correlation data showing a relation among a projection lens, a projection display size, and an optimum projection distance. The correlation data is stored in a projection condition preset memory. Then, the microcomputer has a screen indicate an optimum projection lens and projection distance that satisfy the inputted projection condition. A user mounts the optimum projection lens on the projector and sets up the projector so that the optimum projection distance is secured. The microcomputer calculates the amounts of zoom and focus adjustments to be made to the projection lens with reference to the correlation data so as to attain the projection display size. In accordance with the calculated amounts of zoom and focus adjustments, the microcomputer automatically drives the projection lens via a zoom driving unit and a focus driving unit.
