A fishing lure is disclosed herein with a fishing line attachment structure comprising a hook structure, and a body structure mounted on the hook structure. The body structure has a body, a threaded neck having a cylindrical portion defining a first connector, and a head defining a second connector. The head and neck define the attachment structure. The neck includes a port for receiving the fishing line and external circumferential screw threads. The head having an aperture and internal screw threads. The fishing line is adapted to pass through the aperture of the head and the port of the neck and rest on a gripping surface from where the neck integrally mounted to the body, and the head is screwed over the neck while clenching the fishing line between the gripping surface of the body and the head. The fishing lure further comprises a weed guard and bite depth control.

A method of generating a model of a cardiac surface having a plurality of images representing electrogram voltages for a plurality of measured points within a heart comprises measuring an electrogram voltage at a plurality of points within a heart, generating a first model of a cardiac surface of the heart, generating an image representing each electrogram voltage, each image having a characteristic representative of the electrogram voltage, and generating a further model of a cardiac surface. The images representing the electrogram voltages protrude from the further model of the cardiac surface at points on the further model corresponding to the points at which the electrogram voltages were measured. There is also disclosed an apparatus for generating a model of a cardiac surface.

The present invention is directed to a pre-coated substrate, such as a slide, that is useful for immobilizing a sample. The invention is further provides methods of preparing such pre-coated substrates and methods of analyzing biological samples immobilized on such pre-coated substrate. The substrate is coated with a polycationic polymeric coating material specifically selected such that that coated substrate exhibits increased stability and prolonged shelf-life. Preferred polymeric coating materials include allylic or vinylic polymers having cationic groups thereon and having no more than a small percentage of peptidic monomeric linkages, particularly polydiallyldimethylammonium (PDDA).

A manually activated seat belt device comprising: a latch plate (20) and cooperating buckle (100). The latch plate comprises: a tongue (22) lockingly engaging a cooperating part of a seat belt buckle (100) and a second part (26) having a seat belt clamping surface (30) adjacent a belt receiving opening (28) within the second part, walls (32) extending about opposite sides of the opening (28), a yoke (40) slidably received upon the latch plate (20) above the opening and slidably positioned against the walls of the second part, a clamping bar (48), wherein the seat belt (90) is inserted through the first opening (28) between the belt clamping surface and the clamping bar; a clamp initiating mechanism (60) manually movable from a cinching position to a clamping or locking position, including a cam surface (63) which when moved to the cinching position urges the clamping bar toward the clamping surface to thereby clamp the seat belt therebetween, wherein the buckle includes a recess to receive a locking tab to maintain the mechanism (60) in its locking position and for releasing same.
摘要:
A surgical stapling instrument for performing a circular anastomosis stapling operation is provided. The surgical instrument includes a stapling head assembly mounted by a curved shaft to an actuator handle assembly and incorporates an improved actuator mechanism for transmitting the required operating forces and movements from the actuator handle assembly through the curved shaft to an anvil and staple driver of the stapling head assembly. The stapling head assembly includes a longitudinally movable trocar detachably secured by one or more retainer clips on a hollow shaft of the anvil. When the trocar is retracted, the anvil shaft slides into a central support tube which aligns the anvil axially and circumferentially with a staple holder on the stapling head assembly. The retainer clips are locked against the trocar by the support tube and transmit tension from the trocar to the anvil with no tension load on the anvil shaft. The actuator mechanism permits adjustment of the anvil gap to produce a desired staple height and precludes actuation of the staple head assembly if the anvil gap is set outside of a predetermined range. Also, the actuator mechanism is adapted to both advance and retract the staple driver relative to the staple holder in the stapling head assembly. Further, an improved arrangement for attaching the support shaft to the stapling head assembly and to the actuator handle assembly is provided.
摘要:
A safety apparatus for road and other vehicles, of belt form. The belt is essentially tubular but is normally in a collapsed condition, and is provided with resilient means which on operation of the belt cause the belt to expand in volume and to be filled with air through a one-way valve. The belt can be held in the collapsed condition by vacuum.

An energy delivery device controls the transformation of the microstructure of shape memory material. A surgeon can use the energy delivery device to control the rate of implant shape change, the extent of implant shape change, as well as the force exerted on the surrounding tissue. The energy delivery device allows for the fine control of force when fixating osteoporotic bone and rate of bone transport when working near the spinal cord. The energy delivery device models or measures the heating profile of the implant and provides the surgeon a method to control the extent of microstructure phase transformation so that the rate, force or extent of implant shape change can be controlled individually or together. The invention is an implant controlled with an energy delivery device that transforms the microstructure of a shape memory material through heat generation in the implant. The implant is manufactured so that the energy delivery device achieves an implant temperature that controls the conversion of the microstructure for one of a plurality of members.
摘要:
A pressure-responsive container assembly and elastically-deformable penetrable cap is provided. Embodiments of the penetrable cap of the present invention include, but are not limited to: an annular sealing portion for engaging an inner surface of a container, a substantially rigid portion extending radially inward from the annular sealing portion; a flexible transition portion extending radially inward from the substantially rigid portion; and a penetrable portion extending radially inward from the transition portion for closing the opening defined by the container. Thus, embodiments of the present invention may thus allow the penetrable portion to elastically deform about the transition portion to a generally convex shape so as to exert a radially outward force that may be transmitted by the substantially rigid portion to the annular sealing portion so as to reinforce a fluid-tight seal between the annular sealing portion and the inner surface of the container.
