  • Patent number: 10537335
    Abstract: In some examples, a medical dispensing device includes a housing and a trigger. A first engager of the device is configured to move axially as the trigger pivots. As the first engager moves, it engages a rod. A maximum proximal position of the rod is defined by a stop. A spring presses the first engager into the trigger such that either the trigger or the first engager rests against a stop limiting rotation of the trigger. A second engager moves axially as the trigger pivots. At the actuated position the second engager, defined by a stop, the second engager limits proximal movement of the rod. An assembly transfers movement of the trigger to the second engager after the trigger has pivoted a threshold amount. A member of the assembly distally moves the second engager. Until it is at the actuated position, the second engager enables the rod to proximally move.

  • Patent number: 9896142
    Abstract: A system for dynamic distribution of bicycle lighting including a plurality of light sources coupled to and under operation of a controller. The controller controls power distributed to the light sources and provides dynamic illumination of the light sources according to bicycle operating condition data, regarding the speed, angle of incline, angle of descent and geographic and terrain conditions in which the bicycle is operated.

  • Publication number: 20060251547
    Abstract: A bundle assembly for vertical, gravity flow driven polymerization reactors for combinations of high viscosity, high throughput, and thin polymer films is provided. The bundle assembly includes static internal components that provide large areas of free liquid surfaces in contact with the atmosphere of the reactor while still attaining sufficient liquid holdup times for polymerization to take place. The bundle assembly includes one or more stationary film generators. The bundle assembly further includes one or more stationary arrays of film support structures. Each of the film support structures has a first side and a second side. Both sides of the film support structure are coated with flowing polymer. The vertical arrangement of components in the bundle assembly cause the polymeric melt to cascade down the vertical length of a reaction vessel interior that incorporates the bundle assembly.
