Abstract: A medical device for clamping the stomach in morbid obesity surgery consists of a silicone frame that is essentially U-shaped, having opposing legs self-hinged to a bight portion interconnecting the legs. The opposing legs have sufficient stiffness to permit limited bending and have inner surfaces that sealingly carry an inflatable balloon which can be selectively inflated or aspirated after the device has been clamped to the stomach to adjust the gastric restriction stoma. A flexible latch member carried by one of the legs has at least one serration which is inserted into a latch cavity of the opposing leg to lock the opposing legs in fixed spaced relationship. Lumens within the legs communicate with a fluid supply source and respective inflatable balloon for selective inflation or aspiration of the inflatable balloons. The medical device for clamping the stomach may be self-adjusting upon distention and contraction of the proximal stomach. A platform member having finger extensions which are biased to remain in compressive engagement with the anterior surface of the proximal stomach reduce the gastric restriction stoma from its nominal position upon distention of the proximal stomach and enlarge the reduction upon contraction of the proximal stomach to the nominal position.

Abstract: A monocentric seamless bifocal lens is manufactured by obtaining a lens blank having concentric top and bottom spherical surfaces, and grinding the bottom surface to form a major segment having one spherical radius and a minor segment having a second spherical radius. The lens is then placed on a block having two spherical surface portions whose shape conforms to the shape of the major segment, but differs from the shape of the minor segment. The block also has a slight dihedral angle, so that a space remains between the block and at least part of the minor segment. As it rests on the block, the lens is heated so that it sags under its own weight until its bottom surface assumes the shape of the block, and the radius of curvature of the upper surface becomes non-uniform. Finally the bottom surface of the lens is ground and polished to a uniform spherical radius.

Abstract: A power steering system (10) for a motor vehicle having a power cylinder with the piston mounted in the power cylinder which divides the power cylinder into first (30) and second (32) chambers. The steering system includes a valve assembly having a rotary input member (40) and a valve sleeve 42 and first and second pairs of open center input valves (18), each which has an inlet and an outlet. The inlets of the input valves are fluidly connected to pump output. The valve assembly further includes a pair of closed center input valves (4b) and a normally closed by-pass valve (50). A hydraulic pump (12) is controlled so as to maintain a constant pressure drop between the inlets and outlets of the closed center valve (4b) and normally closed by-pass valves (50) whereby initial fluid flow through the control valve is proportional to the area of a variable orifice comprised within the normally closed by-pass valve (50). When sufficient torque is applied to the rotary input member (40) one of the closed center valves (46) begins to open whereby total flow through the control valve is proportional to the combined area of orifices comprised within both the opening of closed center valve (4b) and the normally closed by-pass valve (50).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a vehicular power steering system having an "open-center" control valve that has substantially zero hydraulic flow gain at zero input deflection angle and yet has minimal control orifice area. An improved valving sub-assembly is used in the control valve with functions to rapidly restore hydraulic gain at relatively small input deflection angles. The improved valving arrangement includes small transverse leakage slots formed in a valve spool that are in fluid communication with either input or return flow distribution slots. The leakage slots are configured to form parasitic flow orifices which fluidically interconnect the output slots formed in the valve sleeve and which communicate with the fluid chambers formed on opposite sides of the piston in the power cylinder. Accordingly, a selectively variable leakage path is provided across the power cylinder. The parasitic flow orifices have uniform and/or non-uniform areas for permitting the performance characteristics of the valving sub-assembly to be readily customized.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for reduction of fluid borne noise in a hydraulic system are disclosed. An improved isolating hose assembly comprising first and second volumetrically compliant members with an inductive flow member providing fluidic coupling therebetween is disclosed. The improved isolating hose assembly acts similarly to an electronic low pass filter network in deterring fluid borne noise from entering portions of the hydraulic system located therebeyond. In addition, a sound barrier comprising a heavy-walled boot surrounding the first volumetrically compliant member is disclosed. The heavy-walled boot surrounding the first volumetrically compliant member acts to prevent acoustic sound sourced at the wall surface thereof from entering the surrounding atmosphere.

Abstract: A tool for inserting a mesh prosthesis into the retroperitoneal space in the laparoscopic repair of inquinal and femoral herniae is set forth which includes a housing having an axially extending passageway therethrough and a carriage member slidingly and telescopically carried by the housing and extending into the passageway. The carriage member has a holding chamber adjacent its distal end for holding the mesh prosthesis in a radially overlapped wound position. An axially extending slot in the carriage member communicates with the holding chamber to permit radial unwinding and passage of the mesh prosthesis from the holding chamber into the retroperitoneal space. The carriage member is slidably and rotatably mounted to the housing to permit axial extension and retraction of the holding chamber from the passageway into and from the retroperitoneal space.
