Abstract: A structure comprising a nacelle or a thrust reverser, the structure comprising a stationary part and a movable part, the structure comprising: a first guide provided on or in the stationary part of the structure or the movable part of the structure; a first electrical connector attached to the stationary part of the structure; a second electrical connector attached to the movable part of the structure; and a carriage movable along the first guide; wherein the carriage comprises a closed loop electrical cable mounted in or on a carriage body such that the closed loop cable can rotate, wherein the first electrical connector is electrically connected to the closed loop electrical cable and the closed loop electrical cable is electrically connected to the second electrical connector, thereby providing an electrical connection from the stationary part of the structure to the movable part of the structure.

Abstract: A system for use in a vascular procedure includes a guidewire dimensioned to remotely access a neurovascular space, a microcatheter for positioning over the guidewire, an interventional treatment element for passage within the catheter member of the microcatheter, and an outer guide positionable over the catheter member of the microcatheter upon removal of the catheter hub. The microcatheter includes an elongated catheter member and a catheter hub. The catheter member defines a longitudinal axis and has a longitudinal length and with proximal and distal ends. The catheter hub is connected to the proximal end of the catheter member and is dimensioned and adapted to be selectively released from the catheter member. The outer guide is advanceable over the catheter member of the microcatheter after the catheter hub is released from the catheter member to a location proximate the lesion.

Abstract: A proactive carbon monoxide protection system includes a carbon monoxide detector connected to a control module adapted to turn off the source of carbon monoxide, sound a central alarm, and alert an off-site monitoring station upon detection of carbon monoxide by the detector.

Abstract: An anti-rollback assembly adapted or adaptable for use in combination with a wheelchair. The anti-rollback assembly includes a one-way brake assembly automatically immobilizing the wheelchair against rearward movement when the occupant attempts to rise from or sit in a seat member of the wheelchair, yet at the same time does not prevent the wheelchair from moving in a forward direction. Conversely, when the occupant is fully seated in the seat member, the one-way brake assembly is disengaged so that the wheelchair can move freely in forward or rearward directions. The assembly can be retrofitted onto existing wheelchairs, and is adjustable to fit various size wheelchairs.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming tapered spiral tubes from strips, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a spiral tube forming system for forming a strip into a spiral tube; a strip infeed system adapted for feeding a strip to the pipe forming system; and computer-controlled means for continuously varying the angular orientation of the tube forming system relative to the strip infeed system to selectively vary the diameter of the forming tube. The selective variation of the diameter includes linearly tapered and curved profiles, as well as constant (unchanging) diameter profiles and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A tissue removal device is used with a standard Kleppinger bipolar forceps. A cleaning element held on a tube fitting over the Kleppinger forceps tubes, is used to remove coagulated tissue from between the forceps blades and clean the blades. A motion restrictor also is disclosed which prevents excessive movement of the tissue removal device.

Abstract: An electrical voting machine is disclosed which uses digital circuits to allow each of a number of voters to (1) select one of a number of alternative answers to a question and (2) express a selected degree of confidence in the selected answer, and then combines digitally the voter selections, and displays indications reflecting both the answer distribution and the degree of confidence of the voter group in the selected answers. Additionally, the machine calculates and displays: the total number of voters, a downcount of the number of voters as their votes are tallied, a weighted mean of the answer curve, an error signal if the number of votes exceeds the number of voters or if there is a circuit failure, and an error condition if an attempt is made to tally the votes before all voters have voted.
