    摘要: A cryogenic refrigerator includes a shell having a reciprocative displacer and an adsorbent mounted within the shell. In one embodiment, the displacer contains both a regenerative media and the adsorbent, with the regenerative media placed between the adsorbent and a cold end of the displacer. In a method for removing contaminants from the reciprocative displacer, compressed and expanded helium gas is displaced through the displacer, with the adsorbent positioned to adsorb contaminant gases entrained in the helium gas. In another method, a filtering refrigerator containing an adsorbent is coupled to a helium circuit of a refrigeration system to remove contaminants from the circuit.

    摘要: A urine management system for human females comprising a novel collection device, a novel conveyance tube, and a novel storage container is described. The collection device is worn by the user in direct contact with the skin surfaces surrounding the urethral opening being held in place by an undergarment. The collector comprises a thin layer of pliable and water-permeable material through which leaked or voided urine passes and that is underlain by a layer of water-wicking material which may also contain one or more open channels for directing and conveying the flow of urine to a fitting connection with the conveyance tube. The conveyance tube, a novel thin-wall, flat tube, contains a spacer throughout its length to prevent the tube lumen from being completely closed and sealed off by kinks or twists in the tube. The tube can conform to the body shape of the wearer, expands as flow rate increases, and shrinks and flattens as flow drops off. Urine is retained as physically stabilized material in a storage container that can be either replaced and disposed of or emptied and reused with cleaning as needed. Physical stabilization of the fluid urine is accomplished using an absorbent or gel-forming material. The storage container's internal structure also provides a means for unique fluid transfer and retention capabilities. To form the entire system, the devices are serially and contiguously connected to form a continuous liquid pathway that enables removal of residual pools of urine, as well as transport and storage of urine at locations higher than the source.

    摘要: An involuntary urine control device (IUCD) having an inflatable collar membrane. The IUCD is inserted a short distance into the distal end of the urethra of a subject user. The IUCD includes the collar membrane which comprises an open ended tube of inflatable membrane material, typically about 30% to 90% of the length of the device. The collar membrane, in its inflated state, serves the purpose of providing sealing between the periphery of the urine control device and the urethra wall. The collar membrane is inflated to move radially outward once the urine control device is inserted into the distal end of the urethra of a patient by the external supply of a fluid. The collar membrane in its deflated state, namely with the inflating fluid removed, is substantially flush with the external diameters of the outer jacket of the urine control device to accommodate the thickness of the collar membrane.

    摘要: Novel component devices for urine management systems including a novel collection device, a novel conveyance tube, and a novel storage container. The collection device, a novel male catheter, comprises a waterproof, thin-walled conduction tube surrounding the penis, having wettable internal walls and containing a spacing wick. At one end, the conduction tube is connected to, or surrounded by, an elastic compression tube that provides a uniform compressive force around the girth of the penis for attachment and liquid seal to said penis, and at the other end is attached to a fitting that connects to the conveyance tube. The elastic compression tube is radially expanded prior to donning and, when in place over the penis, is allowed to elastically retract, providing radial compression for comfortable, and leak-free fit and use. The conveyance tube, which carries urine from collector to storage container, contains a spacer throughout its length to prevent the tube lumen from being completely closed and sealed off by kinks or twists in the tube. Said tube may be a thin-wall flat tube that can conform to the body shape of the wearer, can expand in cross-section as flow rate increases, and can shrink and flatten as flow rate drops off. Urine is retained as immobilized material in a storage container that can be either replaced and disposed of or emptied and reused with cleaning as needed. The storage container's internal structure also provides a means for unique fluid transfer and retention capabilities. A system comprised entirely of said novel devices, serially and contiguously connected, forms a continuous liquid pathway that enables removal of residual pools of urine, as well as transport and storage of urine at locations that are gravitationally higher than the source.
