  • Patent number: 7353086
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for using a camera and display screen to provide a vehicle operator with an image of all or part of the area surrounding the vehicle. A camera is attached to the vehicle that is in communication with a display screen viewable by the operator. A system for inverting the image from the camera makes the image more readily understandable to the operator when the operator is looking forward and the camera is pointed backward. The camera and display screen may be wired into a vehicle network. The network may comprise many other devices for added convenience and functionality. Many other advantages can be added to the basic system, for example an operator controlled zoom, automatic changes of camera angle, quick-release components, magnetic security keys, and the like.

  • Patent number: 4464174
    Abstract: In a seal for two compartment mixing syringe having an outer barrel with an inner barrel partially disposed therein, and a seal on the dispensing end of the inner barrel, and a plunger disposed in the inner barrel, the improvement is wherein the seal is a combination of an aperture in the dispensing end of the inner barrel and a plug disposed in the aperture. The plug has a cylindrical portion of resilient and compressible material adapted to be compressibly disposed in the aperture but displaceable from the aperture by fluid pressure exerted by movement of the plunger in the inner barrel. A reduced diameter portion of the plug provides a fluid pathway between the inner barrel and the outer barrel when the cylindrical portion is displaced from the aperture by such fluid pressure. An increased diameter portion prevents the plug from passing through the aperture and into the outer barrel.
