Title: Hypodermic syringe with selectively retractable needle
Inventor: CAIZZA RICHARD
IPC: A61M5/50
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: A hypodermic syringe (10) with a selectively retractable needle (12) includes an elongate barrel (14) having an open proximal end (16), an open distal end (18) and a hollow bore. The syringe (10) includes an elongate plunger (22) including a hollow outer housing (24) having an open proximal end (26) and an open distal end (28). The plunger (22) has a hollow inner sleeve (30) defining a cavity (34) therein. The plunger (22) has releasable engagement elements (29,78) preventing relative axial movement between the outer housing (24) and the inner sleeve (30), the elements allowing the relative axial movement when relesed and a distal stopper (46). There is an open cutter (50) mounted at a distal end (38) of the inner sleeve (30) to cut through the stopper (46) to expose the cavity (34) in the inner sleeve (30) when the engagement elements (29,78) are released and sufficient distal axial force is applied to the plunger (22). The syringe (10) has a hub housing (52) with an open proximal end having an inwardly projecting shoulder, a hub (60) with a proximal flange (62) and an axial stem (64), sized to fit within the hub housing (52). There is a spring (70) disposed about the stem (64) between the flange (62) and the shoulder. The syringe has a needle (12) with a sharp point extending outwardly. The needle retracts into the cavity (34) in the plunger (22) when sufficient distal force is applied to the plunger (22) to release the engagement elements (29,78). The release allows movement of the inner sleeve (30) with respect to the outer housing (24) so that the cutter (50) cuts through the stopper (46) and the flange (62) and the spring (70) urges movement of the needle (12) into the cavity (34). <IMAGE>

Patent AU-7136387-A (AU)
Title: Optical frequency changing
Inventor: PAVLATH GEORGE A
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 1987-04-09
Abstract: This invention relates to fiber optic frequency shifters for producing optical signals of a desired frequency range for input to a device such as an optical rotation sensing system. The rotating birefringence is created in a length of fiber optic material, which has the effect of a rotating half-wave plate upon an input optical signal. The length of fiber optic material may have a jacket of either an electrostrictive or a magnetostrictive material formed thereon such that application of an appropriate field to the jacket compresses the enclosed fiber to induce birefringence therein by means of the photoelastic effect. A half-coupler having a block of electro-optically active birefringent material adjacent the interaction region combined with an electrode configuration and circuitry for producing a rotating electric field in the block also produces a rotating half-wave plate frequency shifter. The evanescent field of light propogating in the optical fiber interacts with the rotating birefringence and experiences a frequency shift. The invention also includes feedback circuitry for processing the optical output of fiber optic rotating half- wave plates to maintain the intensity of components in the output signal having the carrier frequency below a threshold value.
