Abstract: The present invention provides, in a preferred embodiment, a retractable needle (26) device for use with a syringe. The syringe may be manually driven or electronically driven. In the retracted position, the needle is enclosed within a safety shield and may be extended from the safety shield (60) upon actuation of the plunger (38) normally used to dispense the biocompatible material from the needle. In this instance, initial pressure on the plunger serves to extract the needle and after the needle is extracted, the biocompatible material is dispensed from a carpule in communication with the needle. When it is desired to retract the needle, the direction of the plunger travel is reversed thereby effectively retracting the needle back in to the safety shield.
Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile communication system that includes a mobile switching center having a multiprocessor configuration and radio base stations subordinate to the mobile switching center, with a single radio base station being connected with mutually independent signaling links from a plurality of processors within the mobile switching center. When a call issued from that or other system is received by a subscriber under that system, call ID information contained in a mobile call demand signal sent from the mobile switching center to the radio base station has a storage area for an identifier of a processor within that mobile switching center. The radio base station allows the destination of return of a mobile call response signal to be the processor indicated by the processor identifier.
Abstract: The “Improved hydraulic diaphragm valve, for fluid flow regulation” which constitutes the object of this Patent, contains a semi-conical deflector (2) with an open and flat upper face (3), its perimeter being an isosceles triangle and its cross section equal to that of the valve passage, the semi-cone (2) and the triangle (3) being oriented towards the intake of the fluid.
The diaphragm (4) is seated on the flat section (3) pressed by the fluid contained in the chamber formed by the cover (5) and the diaphragm (4); whilst by draining the fluid from the chamber, the intake pressure lifts the diaphragm (4) off its seating.
Shutting or reducing flow is produced in the upstream direction, and opening or increasing flow, downstream.
