Abstract: A resuscitator has two separate, spaced controls (23) and (30) both of which can be actuated manually to open a valve (100) and deliver a breathing cycle of a maximum timed duration to a patient. One control (23) has a button (24) on the top (13) of the unit (1), which is pushed in to actuate. A ring (25) surrounds the button (24) and has cam profiles (122) that engage with cam pins (120) on the button to push and hold it down when rotated. The other control (30) is on the underside surface (14), facing the patient and adjacent the gas outlet (5). This control includes a toggle lever (31), which can be displaced laterally in two different planes to open the valve (100).

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device (100) having a first portion (102) and a second portion (104), the first or second portion being pivotably adjustable in two directions to reveal the other of the first or second portion, has a biaxially pivotable hinge (106) and a disengagable uniaxially pivotable hinge (108). The biaxially pivotable hinge (106) interconnects the first and second portions (102, 104). The uniaxially pivotable hinge (108) is capable of selectively (a) interconnecting the first and second portions (102, 104) and (b) releasing connection between the first and second portions (102, 104), the selectivity being dependent upon relative rotational position of the first portion (102) and the second portion (104) about the uniaxially pivotable hinge (108).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for agricultural product production with heat and moisture recovery and control. Some embodiments transfer heat and moisture from a warm, moist exhaust air stream to incoming agricultural material, steam condition the material, pelletize the material into warm pellets, cool the warm pellets with make-up air to produce the warm, moist exhaust air used to transfer heat to the incoming material and to produce cooled pellets, wherein the cooled pellets are at a temperature lower than the warm moist air. In some embodiments, the system includes counter-flow devices to transfer heat and moisture. In some embodiments, a controller is used to adjust system devices and overall system flow. In some embodiments a water sprayer, to moisten agricultural product when the product is over dry, and an air flow controller, to slow air flow through the pellet dryer/cooler when ambient temperatures are dryer/cooler, are provided.

Abstract: This invention is a wireless communication device (100) including a first housing (220) with a housing support (250) and a second housing (120) positioned about the housing support, or a portion thereof, so that the second housing may rotate around the housing support. Also, the second housing (120) includes a circular portion (122) positioned about the housing support (250) and an extending portion (124) extending from the circular portion. When the device (100) is in a closed position (110), the circular and extending portions (122 & 124) of the second housing (120) are adjacent to the first housing (220). When the device (100) is in an opened position (210), the circular portion (122) is adjacent to the first housing (220) and the extending portion (124) is away from the first housing. In addition, the second housing (120) may have multiple position relative to the first housing (220) in which each position activates a particular function of the device (100).

Abstract: A handheld electronics device having a display (150) on a first housing portion and a keypad (162) on a second housing portion, a hinge member 130 includes a first portion member pivotally coupled to the first housing portion and a second portion pivotally coupled to the second housing portion. The display and/or keypad may be configured in either a landscape or portrait configuration upon opening the hinge member depending upon where the hinge member is pivoted relative to the housing portions.

Abstract: A treatment of organic plant-based filler materials to prevent the filler materials from absorbing resin. The filler material is treated by soaking in a solution of resin blocker. The filler material is then moved from the resin blocker solution and dried before use with the resin.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a preformed core material by utilizing a particulate preform process. The particulate core material is combined with an adhesive binder and deposited upon a porous surface, through which air is drawn, having the desired preform shape. Once the adhesive sets the deposited layer of core material is removed from the porous surface and may be used as a core in a closed molding process. This method may also be used to fabricate a preformed laminate by depositing layers of fiber material before and/or after a core material is deposited.

Abstract: An isolation valve assembly for use in a pipeline comprises a valve housing (1) body having inlet (12) and outlet (13) openings. In the housing there is disposed a pair of independently operable rotary valve balls (3) each having a port (25) therethrough The valve balls (3) are each rotatable between an open position in which the respective port is in communication with the adjacent opening and a closed position in which the valve ball closes the adjacent opening. A valve seat (9, 14) supports each valve ball in the housing and a valve seat retention member (10) is disposed in each of the openings (5). The retention member (10) defines a flow passage (11) therethrough for communication with the adjacent valve ball port and has a first end proximal to one of the valve balls. The first end supports said valve seat and a second end has means for engagement to the pipeline. The arrangement allow a relatively large bore valve assembly to have a length conforming to International Standard ANSI B16.
