Patent number: 4467804Abstract: An anastomotic device and method for receiving the free ends of anatomic tubular structures to be anastomosed, the device having a pair of ring members for securement to the free end of each of the tubular members to be anastomosed and the ring members having annular connecting structure which mate with each other to connect the ring members. Novel securement structure is associated with the annular connecting structure to enable the securement of the ring members in a fixed relationship at a predetermined distance from each other. Structure is provided to connect each tubular member free end over a ring member so that the free ends are positioned contiguous to each other around the connecting structure to enable the ends to grow together and approximate the outer surface of the tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1981Date of Patent: August 28, 1984Assignee: American Cyanamid CompanyInventors: Thomas G. Hardy, Alan L. Kaganov, W. G. Pace

Patent number: 4464913Abstract: A rundown detector system for controlling operation of the cylinder of a circular knitting machine includes a photoelectric circuit, including fiber optic means and a sensor for sensing predetermined extended periods of low reflected light level and emitting signals to a logic circuit. The logic circuit includes a timer and counting mechanism for stopping rotation of the machine cylinder if a predetermined number of signals are emitted to the logic circuit within a predetermined time period. The timer mechanism also prevents stopping of the machine cylinder, upon start-up of the machine, until a predetermined amount of knit fabric absent of defects has moved past the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1983Date of Patent: August 14, 1984Assignee: Consolidated Foods CorporationInventors: Joel C. Rosenquist, Kenneth J. Thompson, Wayne G. Foster
