Abstract:
A cable distribution assembly is operable to reel in and pay out a cable through a bore. The alignment of the cable in relation to the cable distribution assembly adjusts to restrict contact between the cable and the bole edge. In this manner, friction between the cable and the bore edge, which may damage the cable, is restricted. A base positions adjacent to the bore, aligning the cable in relation to the bore edge. The base includes a concave contour that enables the cable to pass next to the base from a roller that carries the cable through the bore. A shaft drives the roller. Shaft regulators adjustably move horizontally and vertically along a shaft slot in a sidewall to dictate the position of the shaft and the roller that carries the cable. Fasteners secure the shaft regulator into place. A monitoring device provides information on the use of the assembly.
Abstract:
A catheter connector device for connecting a syringe or other fluid application and/or removal device, and a catheter is provided comprising a port for receiving a catheter, a port for connecting a syringe or other fluid application and/or removal device, and a push-button for securing the received catheter. The push-button includes internal arms embracing internal cantilevered structures in turn embracing a flexible tubular sleeve into which the catheter is inserted; when the push-button is pushed to an inward position, the arms of the push-button apply a pressure on the cantilevered structures, and thus on the tubular sleeve, gripping the catheter.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a stabilization device for attaching and securing a catheter to the skin of a patient in order to maintain the catheter correctly placed through a catheter insertion site. The stabilization device includes a catheter clipping element which is attached to an anti-allergic adhesive pad. The catheter clipping element includes a clipping body that ends in open arms for easy and convenient clipping and unclipping of a catheter, cannula, catheter or cannula terminal adapter, or the like. The clipping body is oriented outwards from the top surface of the pad in a transverse direction, a vertical direction, or both transversely and vertically, in order to facilitate clipping and unclipping. A longitudinal axis of the clipping body can be tilted towards the pad top surface in order to enhance stabilization and favor correct orientation of the catheter towards the insertion site.
Abstract:
The present invention is referred to a betting/gaming system where the client can bet on numbers with fixed odds. Each cycle consists of a main event and side event and starts with the draw of a set of numbers. Different main events are possible (draws n numbers out of a population of K numbers), as well as side events. The numbers may be drawn by a mechanical device (lottery machine) or generated electronically by a random number generator. Numbers can be drawn locally or on a remote site. This new system creates new a functionality to generate additional turnover/revenue streams during a “standard” lottery drawing process through different main events with new bets, additional side-events, betting during the drawing process, etc.
Abstract:
An inflatable life raft assembly is disclosed, including a deployable and inflatable life raft that a user can voluntarily and repeatedly deploy from a storage carrier, inflate for use, and fold back into the container after use. The carrier is integrally formed with or permanently attached to the inflatable life raft. A compressed gas cylinder can assist the user in inflating the life raft. The storage carrier can automatically open when the life raft inflates, by pressure exerted from within the carrier by the expanding life raft. The inflatable life raft includes weight inserts to render the life raft assembly throwable, both when the life raft is folded and stored in the carrier, and when the life raft is deployed and inflated, greatly assisting a user in tossing or throwing the life raft to a person in need of a floating aid.
Abstract:
A multi-media tablet holder is provided and includes a first retention member, a second retention member, a pair of slide pins, at least one extension spring and a handle. The first retention member includes a first retention plate and a first retention rail. The second retention member includes a second retention plate and a second retention rail. The first and second retention rails are sized to receive a thickness of a multi-media tablet. There is also provided a multi-media tablet holder including a retention member, a handle assembly and an articulating mechanism for pivoting and rotating the retention member relative to the handle assembly.
