摘要:
An implantable medical device is configured with a pressure sensor arranged within the device to reliably and accurately measure the pressure within a propellant gas chamber at least partially surrounding a therapeutic fluid reservoir of the device. In one example, a housing of the IMD includes a protrusion that is configured to provide clearance for fluid communication between a propellant gas chamber pressure sensor and the propellant gas chamber.

A miniature infusion pump (MIP) suitable for use with a human patient is configured for non-human animal testing. In one example, a MIP includes an electromagnetic piston pump, a circuit board, and a housing. The pump is configured to deliver a therapeutic agent from a reservoir through an implantable catheter. The circuit board includes programmable electronics configured to control the pump to deliver the therapeutic agent through the catheter. The pump and the circuit board are sealed within the housing. The MIP is sized to be at least one of harnessed to or implanted in a non-human test subject including a weight greater than or equal to approximately 150 to approximately 250 grams.
摘要:
A fluid dispensing nozzle including a nozzle body having a fluid path and a suction path therein. The nozzle has a valve positioned in the fluid path and configured to selectively prevent or allow a flow of fluid through the fluid path, and a manually operable actuator operatively connectable to the valve. The nozzle also includes a suction generator configured to apply a suction force in the suction path at a suction location. The suction path includes an expansion chamber located upstream of the suction location with respect to a direction of flow in the suction path. A bottom surface of the expansion chamber and a bottom surface of a portion of the suction path positioned immediately upstream of the expansion chamber are generally aligned.
摘要:
A nozzle system including a nozzle body having a fluid path through which fluid to be dispensed is flowable. The system includes a fluid valve positioned in the fluid path and movable between a first position and a second position, and a manually operable lever operatively coupleable to the fluid valve and movable between a first position and a second position. The system further has a biasing mechanism configured to apply a force biasing at least one of the valve or the lever to one of the associated first or second positions, and a magnetic assist system configured to apply a magnetic force opposing the biasing force applied by the biasing mechanism.
摘要:
A system including a vapor recovery valve having a valve body with a fluid flow path and a vapor flow path. The fluid flow path and the vapor flow path are generally fluidly isolated from each other. The vapor recovery valve further includes a vapor control valve positioned in the vapor flow path. The vapor control valve is movable between a first position wherein the vapor control valve at least partially impedes the flow of vapor therethrough and a second position wherein the vapor control valve does not impede or less impedes the flow of vapor therethrough compared to when the vapor control valve is in the first position. The vapor recover valve includes an actuator magnetically coupled to the vapor control valve. The actuator is configured such that sufficient fluid flow through the fluid flow path in a first direction causes the actuator to move the vapor control valve from the first position to the second position in a second direction that is generally not the same as the first direction.
摘要:
A process for the production of chlorine dioxide by reacting at least one of chloric acid and an alkali metal chlorate, and hydrogen peroxide as the reducing agent in such proportions that chlorine dioxide is produced in a reaction medium. A mixture comprising chlorine dioxide and oxygen is withdrawn from the reaction medium. Urea and/or one or more phosphonic acid based complexing agents are added to the reaction medium. The stabilizer is added in an amount of 0.01-5 weight % and serves to increase the reaction rate.

Process for producing vermicular cast iron comprising: (i) forming a near eutectic melt having a sulfur content preferably less than about 0.025% by weight; (ii) admixing at least one rare earth-containing additive with said melt to form stable rare earth oxysulfides thereby reducing and maintaining the Henrian sulfur activity in the melt at between about 0.004 and 0.035; and (iii) thereafter, allowing said melt to solidify.
摘要:
A hypodermic syringe projectile for animal usage characterized by a hollow housing which receives an axially movable body member. A chamber for receiving treatment liquid is defined between an end of the body member and an end of the housing which mounts an injection needle. The body member is retained in a fully retracted or filled position by flexible fingers on a wall thereof which selectively engage an end of the housing and which are maintained in such retained position by a weight. Movement of the weight upon impact with an animal releases the body member for movement from the retained position and forces the treatment liquid from the chamber through the injection needle.

A fluid dispensing nozzle including a nozzle body having a fluid path and a suction path therein. The nozzle includes a suction generator configured to generate a suction force in at least part of the suction path when fluid to be dispensed flows through the fluid path. The nozzle further includes a shut-off device including a suction chamber fluidly coupled to the suction path and configured such that when the suction path is blocked during fluid dispensing the shut-off device moves to a closed configuration to prevent the nozzle from dispensing fluid through the fluid path. The suction path includes a terminal portion in fluid communication with the suction chamber, and the terminal portion has a cross sectional area of at least about 0.015 square inches.
