  • Patent number: 9654951
    Abstract: An automatic distress alarming method includes that: A. a distress alarm automatically sends out a sound and light alarming signal; B. the distress alarm automatically sends a distress signal and a GPS signal to a mobile phone; C. the distress alarm sends out the distress signal and the GPS signal by a manual operation; D. a disconnected distress alarm sends out the distress signal and the GPS signal. And its system includes a microprocessor U1, a driving chip U2, a wireless transmitting module U3, a switching circuit of an angular rate sensor, a GPS circuit, a storage device, a reset button, a manual operation alarming switch, a manual operation communicating switch and a disconnecting alarming button.

  • Publication number: 20070066936
    Abstract: A retractable needle hypodermic syringe includes a retractable needle assembly comprising a needle seat for supporting a hypodermic needle, and a generally tubular which comprises the barrel and serves as a reservoir for injectable or withdrawn fluid. The barrel is open at both ends to receive a plunger at the plunger end and a needle at the opposite end. A hollow plunger is slidably mounted within the barrel and extends from the plunger end for engagement by the user. A seal is provided between the plunger and barrel to prevent air from passing into or out of the barrel around the plunger and through the plunger end. A piston is slidably mounted within in the plunger such that movement of the plunger into the fill position locks the piston in place. A seal between the piston and the interior of the plunger prevents air or fluid from passing by the piston into the plunger. As the plunger is depressed to inject the fluid the plunger moves axially in the barrel while the piston is stationary.
