Title: Two-part coupling structure having cooperating parts effecting fluid flow upon connection and mutual resealing upon disconnection
Inventor: STRICKLIN DOUGLAS K
IPC: F16L37/28
Filed: 1995-05-09
Granted: 1997-06-12
Abstract: A two-part coupling structure includes a male coupling part and a female coupling part which are mutually engageable to open fluid communication between a fluid-storage vessel and a conduit. The coupling parts are disengageable from one another to discontinue fluid communication between the vessel and the conduit, and also to close communication between ambient and each of the vessel and conduit. The retention volume of fluid which is trapped between the connected male and female coupling parts and which is exposed to or lost to ambient when the coupling parts are disconnected is very small. Because of particular structural features, the coupling parts will function reliably even with fluid having chunks or particulates of non-fluid material therein.

Title: Quick connect/disconnect hose coupling
Inventor: CAMPAU DANIEL N
IPC: F16L37/098
Filed: 2000-04-20
Granted: 2003-10-30
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a connector for joining fluid flow passage-ways in a fluid handling system. The connector may be manually manipulated, without using any tools, to quickly and easily couple or decouple the mating connector components. Those components include a plug (12) having a cylindrical plug wall and a radially extending flange, and a mating socket (14) having a cylindrical socket wall and a pair of diametrically opposed retainers (24). The retainers each comprise an axially extending flexible lever (26) spaced from the socket wall. The lever is joined to the socket wall at a base or proximal end and has a latch (34) at its free or distal end. The lever is also joined to the socket wall by a fulcrum wall or living hinge positioned intermediate the ends of the lever. A split lock ring is disposed between the socket wall and each retainer and is movable from a position adjacent the base of each retainer to a position remote from the base of each retainer. The latch at the free end of each retainer is engageable with the plug flange to prevent disengagement of the plug and socket when the levers are in their free, unstressed state. However, the levers may be manually deflected or depressed at a flexing portion thereof when the lock ring is positioned adjacent the retainer bases to disengage each latch from the plug flange and thereby permit axial decoupling of the plug and socket. <IMAGE>

Title: Liquid dispenser
Inventor: LEVINE MARSHALL S
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1993-03-12
Granted: 1996-05-09
Abstract: A dispenser for blood and other biological specimens is disclosed which provides a means of obtaining a small predetermined quantity of specimen from a closed container without the need to remove the stopper from the container. The cannula of the device is caused to pierce the container's rubber stopper forming an assembly. When the said assembly is forced against a target surface, such as microscope slide, the force compresses the stopper and thereby reduces the volume inside the container sufficiently to eject a drop of fluid which is dispensed onto a target surface. Stabilizing supports are provided so that fluid emerges from a dispensing tip located a predetermined distance above the target surface which determines the quantity of fluid dispensed. The supports also transmit reactive force from the target surface to compress the rubber stopper of the closed specimen tube.

Date Sep. 26, 1985.According to the invention a piezoelectric crystal, e.g. a quartz crystal, coated with a metal or another suitable material is exposed to the action of a corrosive liquid, preferably by being immersed therein. The mass change on the crystal surface, caused by the corrosion, and the resulting change in the natural oscillation frequency of the crystal is determined and constitutes a measure of the corrosivity of the liquid. The natural oscillation frequency of the crystal can in this way also be measured in situ in the liquid, in which way the dynamic course of the corrosion reaction can be followed continuously. According to a special embodiment of the invention the sensitivity during the measurement can be increased, if the crystal is pretreated by being activated with a sulphide solution.

Title: Perfusive chromatography
Inventor: AFEYAN NOUBAR B
IPC: B01D15/34
Filed: 1990-02-20
Granted: 1992-10-29
Abstract: Disclosed are chromatography methods and matrix geometries which pernmit high resolution, high productivity separation of mixtures of solutes, particularly biological materials. The method involves passing fluids through specially designed chromatography matrices at high flow rates. The matrices define first and second interconnected sets of pores and a high surface area for solute interaction in fluid communication with the members of the second set of pores (14). The first and second sets of pores are embodied, for example, as the interstices among particles and throughpores (14) within the particles. The pores are dimensioned such that, at achievable high fluid flow rates, convective flow occurs in both pore sets, and the convective flow rate exceeds the rate of solute diffusion in the second pore set. This approach couples convective and diffusive mass transport to and from the active surface and permits increases in fluid velocity without the normally expected bandspreading. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for reading a mold-identifying code in the form of a plurality of surface irregularities (76) extending in an arcuate array around the container heel (45) concentrically with the container axis. A starwheel conveyor (12) sequentially moves a series of containers (22) in an arcuate path about a conveyor axis (16) to and through a reading station (28). A belt (30) positioned adjacent to the conveyor periphery engages containers at the reading station and is driven so as to rotate the containers about their central axes.

Title: Systems and methods for identifying and controlling interfaces between blood components
Inventor: ROSINKO MICHAEL J
IPC: G01N15/05
Filed: 1996-05-22
Granted: 1998-10-08
Abstract: Systems and methods locate at least three spaced apart sensing units in association with volume of blood comprising a first blood component region, a second blood component region, and an interface region between the first and second blood component regions. The systems and methods locate at least one of the sensing units so that its optical field lies above the interface region and at least one of the sensing units so that its optical field lies below the interface region. Each sensing unit senses the attenuation of energy emitted into blood in its optical field and generates a signal relating to the attenuation. The systems and methods convert the signals to a signal vector of signal values having a shape approximated by a function. The systems and methods normalize the signal vector, and also create a vector of convolution signal values by multiplying the normalized signal vector by the function. The systems and methods identify the sensing unit associated with the highest convolution signal value. It is this sensing unit that lies closest to the interface. The systems and methods can limit the signal values of the signal vector according to prescribed criteria that eliminate the effect of noise.

Title: System for reverse address resolution for remote network device
Inventor: NILAKANTAN CHANDRASEKHARAN
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 1994-01-03
Granted: 1996-09-19
Abstract: A reverse address resolution protocol for use in a communication network which allows resolution logic to provide a higher level protocol information (such as an IP address) to a source of a request for such information, independent of the physical network address of such source. The protocol is used in a processor having a plurality of ports, at least one of such ports connected by a point-to-point channel to a remote network device. Reverse address resolution protocol is responsive to a resolution request from the remote network device across the point-to-point channel to supply the higher level protocol information based upon the port through which the resolution request is received, rather than the physical network address of the requesting device. Thus, a remote device may be coupled to a network, and connected to a central management site across a point-to-point communication link, in a "plug and play" mode. The person connecting the device to the remote network does not need to determine the physical network address of the device or configure the device with a higher level address protocol.
