Abstract: An indicator that the cartridge is draining slowly is placed on top of the cartridge. When slow draining causes urine to pool on top of the cartridge, liquid enters a float housing, causing an indicator to change color. The indicator is visible through a lens in a diverter. The indicator may be a disk that undergoes a chemical reaction to change color or a float that flips over to reveal a side having a different color. When the cartridge is operating properly, the float displays a first color. Flipping of the float reveals a second color to the observer. A color change indicates, such as by signaling, that the cartridge needs to be replaced.

Abstract: An apparatus for mapping and/or ablating tissue includes a braided conductive member that that may be inverted to provide a ring-shaped surface. When a distal tip of the braided conductive member is retracted within the braided conductive member, the lack of a protrusion allows the ring-shaped surface to contact a tissue wall such as a cardiac wall. In an undeployed configuration, the braided conductive member is longitudinally extended, and in a deployed configuration, the distal end of the braided conductive member is retracted to invert the braided conductive member.

Abstract: A cartridge for placement in a urinal includes a chamber having an entry for receiving wastewater (e.g., urine), a quantity of sealant floatable on the wastewater in the chamber for functioning as a barrier to odors that may otherwise emanate from the wastewater in the chamber, a sealant reservoir coupled to the chamber for containing a supply of the sealant, and a closed path sealant dispenser for dispensing the sealant from the sealant reservoir to the chamber for maintaining the sealant modicum atop the wastewater. The sealant dispenser includes a cap having a U-shaped channel, and opening, and an orifice entering into a throat in which the sealant floats. An air vent avoids the buildup of suction in the primary reservoir.

Abstract: Extendable and expandable ablation electrodes are disclosed. Electrophysiology catheter systems include ablation electrodes that maintain a reduced cross-sectional profile during introduction into a patient and are extendable and/or expandable once positioned at a lesion site. The expanded electrodes having a larger length or and/or diameter can help to produce large lesions. Controllability of the dimensions of the ablation electrodes may be improved.

Abstract: An elastomeric anti-flushing diaphragm (80) having a cantilevered peripheral rim (84) is supported by and resides under a diverter (52) which is placed directly over the main or primary drain opening (44) in a top wall (40) of a urinal cartridge (22). As liquid passes under the diverter, a negative pressure or suction is created on the underside (96) of the diaphragm. As the flow of liquid increases, the negative pressure increases to pull down the peripheral edge (rim 84) of the diaphragm on the top wall and to constrict the flow of liquid that can pass under it, thus limiting the amount of turbulence in the sealing fluid (30) within the cartridge and preventing its loss to an external drain tube (34). When the liquid flow is sufficient to rise above the diverter, as in the case of a bucket (100) of water (102) being poured into the urinal bowl, the water creates a positive pressure above the diaphragm, that is, on its upper side (94).

Abstract: A unitary composite corrugated board structure of a double layer of single-faced corrugated board is fabricated by assembling the boards with their corrugated faces in nesting contact and then compressively cutting the layers by applying a force in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the planar lining sheet of the board. The cutting operation crushes the corrugations at the cut edge into interlocking reentrant configurations which hold the boards together without the need for an adhesive.
