Title: Low permeance insulative device and related kit
Inventor: HART GORDON HARPER
IPC: F16L59/16
Filed: 2011-03-29
Abstract: A segmented insulative device and related kit for insulating components of a thermal distribution system, and particularly chilled fluid systems. The kit includes a sheet of segmented insulation formed by a composite layer of segmented, flexible, pre--sewn insulation that is easily cut to size in the field using scissors, utility knives or other simple, hand-held cutting devices. The composite layer includes at least one outer layer of low permeance laminate devoid of stitching and adhered to the pre-sewn insulation.  The kit also includes low permeance pressure-sensitive adhesive tape as fasteners, also easily cut to length, using hand-held devices. The low permeance laminate and the low permeance pressure-sensitive adhesive tape form a contiguous outer water vapor barrier free of stitching that would otherwise compromise low permeance. The segmented insulation and the fasteners are attached to one another in the field. This provides an installation kit that an installer can use to provide a versatile insulation in the form of the assembled segmented insulative device that insulates against heat gain to the chilled surface and retards the intrusion of water vapor into the insulation as well as to the chilled surface. The segmented insulative device lends itself to quick customization on-site rather than requiring costly off-site manufacture or pre-assembly and subsequent quick installation on the pipe component requiring thermal installation.

Abstract: Medical systems, devices and methods are disclosed for suturing a perforation in tissue, that may be employed endoscopically and/or laparoscopically, and that offer simple, reliable and controllable placement of suture around a perforation for complete closure thereof. One embodiment of the medical device generally includes an endcap for use with an endoscope to suture an opening in tissue using a tissue anchor. The endcap has a tubular shape defined by an annular sidewall, and the sidewall defines an interior space. A side port is further defined by the annular sidewall and is in communication with the interior space.  The side port is sized to receive and locate the tissue within the interior space for suturing. A support rib is positioned within the interior space and distal to the side port. The support rib and sidewall define a piercing aperture therebetween that supports the tissue being sutured.

Title: Methods and devices for the indirect displacement of the hyoid bone for treating obstructive sleep apnea
Inventor: ROUSSEAU ROBERT A
IPC: A61F5/56
Filed: 2009-10-20
Abstract: An implant for treating obstructive sleep apnea includes an elongated body (150) having a central region (152), a first end (154), and a second end (156) opposite the first end. The central region of the elongated body engages inframandibular musculature (126, 128) that extends between a mandible (136) and a hyoid bone (130). The first and second ends of the elongated body are optionally anchored to the mandible. The elongated body is under tension for urging the inframandibular musculature in an inferior direction, which, in turn, pulls the hyoid bone anteriorly for minimizing the likelihood of occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea episodes.

Abstract: In a vehicle, particularly an all terrain vehicle, to provide a structure with which an increase in the weight of a strut damper can be suppressed. A strut damper axis is disposed to be along an imaginary line formed by imaginarily interconnecting an intersection at which a vertical line passing through a grounding point of a wheel intersects an extension line of a lower arm and a connection point at which the strut damper is connected to a vehicle body. A  reaction force from a road surface is inputted to the strut damper substantially along the strut damper axis. Since no bending force is exerted on the strut damper, the strut damper can be made smaller in size, and the strut damper can be made lighter in weight.

IPC: E21B7/12
Filed: 2007-11-07
Abstract: An offshore universal riser system. A riser system includes a valve module which selectively permits and prevents fluid flow through a flow passage extending longitudinally through a riser string. An anchoring device releasably secures the valve module in the flow passage. A  method of constructing a riser system includes the steps of installing the valve module in the flow passage, and installing at least one annular seal module in the flow passage. The annular seal module is operative to prevent fluid flow through an annular space between the riser string and a tubular string positioned in the flow passage.  Drilling methods include injecting relatively low density fluid compositions into the annular space, and selectively varying a restriction to flow through a subsea choke in a drilling fluid return line. The riser string, including housings for the various modules and external control systems, is dimensioned for installation through a rotary table.
