Abstract: A thermostatic mixing valve is used in a tempered water blending system. A cold water bypass line in the system acts under the control of a modulating valve and electronic controller to divert cold water back to a temperature sensing element in the mixing valve. By flooding the temperature sensing element, the mixing valve detects a false temperature and adjusts its flow rate of hot and cold water accordingly. The electronic controller acts in reverse of normal fashion, providing negative feedback to the sensing element of the mixing valve.

Abstract: One or more caps can be used to cover and sterilize one or more separated medical connectors. A pair of caps can be connected to each other and sealed when in a pre-use state. The paired caps can be unsealed so as to permit connection to the medical connectors.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are disinfecting caps that can be used to cover and disinfect a male luer post of a medical connector. The caps are configured to engage threads of the connector. The caps contain a disinfecting agent within an absorbent pad disposed in a chamber of the cap.

Abstract: A sprayer that includes a tank for containing a liquid pesticide, herbicide, or the like, a pump for pressurizing the liquid contained within the tank, and a hose and wand assembly for dispersing the pressurized liquid onto an area of interest, such as weeds. The tank includes an opening formed through its top surface through which liquid can be poured into tank. A wide mouthed funnel defines the opening to assist in preventing fluid from spilling while being poured. The bottom of the tank is attached to a base unit that provides a reservoir for any liquids dripping on the exterior of the tank, while also providing a flared region in which the end of the wand can be positioned when not in use. A wand retaining clip is attached to the exterior of the funnel to secure the wand while not in use and further to direct the end of the wand into the flared region formed in the base of the unit.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are disinfecting caps that can be used to cover and disinfect a male luer post of a medical connector when not in use or when disconnected from its female connector counterpart. The caps are configured to engage threads of the connector. The caps contain a disinfecting agent disposed in a chamber of the cap.

Abstract: A multilayered inflatable medical appliance is disclosed. The appliance may comprise multiple adjacent layers disposed to increase total burst strength, puncture resistance or other properties. One or more layers may be comprised of a rotational spun fiber coating. Further, in some embodiments, additional top coatings may be included. Multilayered constructs may be configured with higher burst strengths and/or puncture resistance as compared to single layer constructs.

Abstract: A battery powered device comprising a housing having a battery compartment apparatus disposed therein, with the battery compartment apparatus being configured to accept at least one battery. The battery compartment apparatus comprises a battery carrier and a locking hold down mechanism. The carrier is slidably mounted in the housing. The locking hold down mechanism responds to insertion and withdrawal of the carrier into and out of the housing by locking the locking hold down mechanism against the battery, thereby preventing undesired displacement of the battery within the housing.

Abstract: A lighting device is mounted onto a support structure, e.g., helmet. The lighting device includes a light body having forward facing light sources including a visible white light source, visible colored light source, an infrared light source and a side facing IFF light source. The light body includes switches for activating the visible light sources and a three-position switch for activating the IR and light sources. The light body mounts onto a mount assembly and includes a connector arrangement for slidably connecting to a platform of the mount assembly. A base member of the mount assembly includes a clamp that connects to a support structure. The light body and platform member may be swivelly moved relative to the base member by forcing the light body and platform member away from the base member and rotating the same. Also disclosed is boost circuitry, battery chemistry detection and control modes.

Abstract: Caps can be used to cover and disinfect a male protrusion portion of a medical connector. Some caps can create a seal with the male protrusion to prevent antiseptic from entering a lumen the protrusion. A biasing element can aid in creating or maintaining the seal.

Abstract: A trap system for insects includes a container assembly comprising a vessel having a window region, and trap material. The container assembly defines a container chamber. A stake assembly may be attached to the assembly to secure the assembly to the ground. The trap system may include a disposable liner. The disposable liner defining a liner chamber and is arranged within the container chamber. The trap material is arranged within the container assembly such that insects that enter the assembly are trapped within by the trap material.

Abstract: A lighting device in the form of a handheld flashlight includes a plurality of light sources, a housing, a three-position switch, and a second switch. The plurality of light sources may include a visible light source and a non-visible light source. The three-position switch selects one of a plurality of modes, for example, a visible light enabled mode, an infrared mode, and a lockout mode. The second switch is operative to control one of the plurality of light sources based on the selected operating mode.

Abstract: A system for safely delivering gas through a medical device to a patient and a method for using an exemplary system are disclosed. The system may be configured to minimize the risk of delivering an unwanted gas through mix up or mistake. A pneumatic fitting for use in medical procedures is also disclosed. The fitting may be configured to mate exclusively with a specific gas or fluid source.

Abstract: Some assemblies can include a male cap and a female cap, each of which can be used to cover separated medical connectors. In certain arrangements, a male cap can include a movable carriage that transitions from a retracted position when an assembly with which the male cap is associated is in a closed state to an extended position when the assembly is in an open state.
