摘要:
An inflatable coupling component tube for a fluid-operated brake or clutch includes an elongated, generally tubular-shaped structure of predetermined length having two ends and a joint between the two ends that closes the tube to form a generally toroidal-shaped cavity. A coupling component for a fluid-operated brake or clutch that includes an inflatable tube, and a method of making an inflatable coupling component tube are also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention is a dual lumen, adjustable cannula assembly which comprises an inner cannula which is moveable within an outer cannula. Each cannula has openings for fluid passage. The assembly may be placed at any region within a body cavity such as the peritoneal cavity, the vena cava, veins or arteries. The inner cannula can be advanced beyond the position of the cannula assembly so as to communicate with a region of the cavity different from that with which the outer cavity communicates.
摘要:
A device and method for extracorporeal whole body hyperthermia treatment of a patient's blood using alpha-stat regulation of blood pH and pCO2 is described. The respiratory rate of a patient is either increased or decreased in accordance with the changes in pH, pCO2, and base excess. The regulation of blood during the hyperthermic treatment of the patient's blood stabilizes the biochemical reactions fundamental to the metabolic welfare of the organisms within the patient's blood while the viruses within the patient's blood are eliminated.
摘要:
A coupling assembly component includes an annular base. A first annular friction surface is connected with the base and is movable into engagement with a second annular friction surface. An annular fluid extensible tube is inflatable to move the first friction surface into engagement with the second friction surface. A fitting is connected with the base and the tube to conduct fluid pressure into a chamber in the tube. An annular mounting ring is disposed in a coaxial relationship with the base and the tube. The annular mounting ring is embedded in the tube and is connected with a portion of the fitting. The annular mounting ring may be provided with only a single opening which is connected with a fitting through which fluid is conducted into the tube. However, the annular mounting ring may be provided with a plurality of openings connected with a plurality of fittings.

A device and method for extracorporeal whole body hyperthermia treatment of a patient's blood using alpha-stat regulation of blood pH and pCO.sub.2 is described. The respiratory rate of a patient is either increased or decreased in accordance with the changes in pH, pCO.sub.2, and base excess. The regulation of blood during the hyperthermic treatment of the patient's blood stabilizes the biochemical reactions fundamental to the metabolic welfare of the organisms within the patient's blood while the viruses within the patient's blood are eliminated.
