    摘要: A retractable and extendable medical needle protective shield which provides opportunity for accessing and reaccessing a medical needle and associated sharpened needle tip and recovering the needle and tip for safety between accesses. The shield includes a needle guide which assures the needle tip is untouched by any part of the shield as the shield is displaced to cover and uncover the needle. A releasible latch is provided to guard against inadvertent removal of the protective shield between accesses. An unreleasible latch is also provided to secure the shield relative to the latch preparatory to final disposal. In combination with the protective shield, a plurality of adapters are disclosed which provide examples of passively operated, protected access to membrane pierceable fluid sources such as a “Y” connection site of an IV set line, a drug vial, a vacuum sample tube, an umbilical cord holder and a hypodermic site.

    摘要: Specific genetic deletion are identified in mycobacteria isolates, including variations in the M. tuberculosis genome sequence between isolates, and numerous deletion present in BCG as compared to M. tb. These deletions are used as markers to distinguish between pathogenic and avirulent strains, and as a marker for particular M. tb isolates. Deletions specific to vaccine strains of BCG are useful in determining whether a positive tuberculin skin test is indicative of actual tuberculosis infection. The deleted sequences may be re-introduced into BCG to improve the efficacy of vaccination. Alternatively, the genetic sequence that corresponds to the deletion(s) are deleted from M. bovis or M. tubercuosis to attenuate the pathogenic bacteria.

    摘要: A gas generator (24; 140) may be used in an inflatable member system (20) which includes an inflatable member (22) expandable from a stowed condition to a deployed condition. The generator may include a flexible container (30; 150) within the inflatable member, a gas generant (28; 148), initially located within the flexible container, and an initiator (34). A propagating member (60; 142) may be located within the container to permit the initiator to initiate the generant upon triggering of the initiator to inflate the inflatable member from stowed to deployed conditions. A sustainer (44; 152; 156) may be provided to sustain the gas generation and may be positioned within a generator housing upstream of the propagating member or at or adjacent the downstream end of the propagating member.

    摘要: The detector applies an analog input signal through respectively positive and negative offset voltages to the inputs of two comparators, one of which produces a first output signal as the input signal passes beyond a predetermined minimum voltage in the positive going direction, and the other of which produces a second output signal when the input voltage exceeds a minimum predetermined value in a negative going direction. The input signal is also applied directly to the input of a third comparator the output of which produces a third signal each time the input signal crosses over zero voltage in a positive going direction. The first and second comparator output signals are applied to the reset and set terminals, respectively, of a first flip flop. The output of this first flip flop, and the output of the third comparator are applied through an AND gate to the set terminal of a second flip flop. The second flip flop produces at its output a digital signal precisely at the time that a signal is produced at the output of the third comparator, provided the outputs of the first and second comparators have been successively generated in the cycle of the input voltage immediately preceding the output signal of the third comparator.

    摘要: A cover for the grip area of golf clubs to keep them dry and protected from the elements is herein disclosed, preferably comprising a neoprene covering in the shape of a tube with the approximate dimensions of twelve (12) to twenty (20) inches long and a diameter of two (2) inches. A first end of the tube is sealed, while a second end is furnished with a flexible membrane which seals it against the club shaft. The closed end is provided with a hook to allow the cover to be hung along with a club, thereby providing a means for the cover to be placed over the grip end of a golf club in much the same manner as a sock. This not only extends the life of the club and grip, but provides the golfer with enhanced performance due to the decreased risk of slippage during play, particularly during wet conditions.

    摘要: An air conveyor which includes guides for stabilizing articles during conveyance and a plenum with apertures for providing pressurized air is provided. In the preferred embodiment, the air conveyor also includes opposed spacers defining passages having a closed end and an open end. The passages are in fluid communication with the apertures of the plenum for directing streams of pressurized air through the open ends at the articles in a downstream direction to propel the articles. In another embodiment, channels defined in support structure for the guides form part of passageways for directing streams of pressurized air at an inclined and downstream angle to propel the articles. The guides are removable to allow the conveyor to be adapted to different sized and shaped articles. The air conveyor may also include an additional plenum and additional opposed spacers associated with the plenum for propelling the articles downstream.
