Publication number: 20090256707Abstract: The invention, a device and method to prevent an automobile with an object on the roof rack from entering a garage, has three main components. The first component is the detector. It is mounted on a roof style bike rack. When a bicycle is mounted on the rack, it activates a switch on the detector, causing the detector to emit a radio signal. The second unit is the proximity transmitter. It is mounted on or near the garage door. The proximity transmitter emits a continuous signal. The third unit is the base unit. It is mounted inside the automobile. When the base unit detects a signal from both the detector and the proximity transmitter, it emits an audible and/or visual alarm that warns the driver he is approaching his home garage and there is a bicycle on top of the car.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2009Publication date: October 15, 2009Inventors: Robert C.

Publication number: 20080228147Abstract: An injection device for use with a pre-filled syringe. The device features a track and track follower engagement which facilitates locking a protective needle guard over the tip of the needle at the conclusion of the injection. The device further includes a tamper evidence overcap which, once removed from the device cannot be readily reinstalled. The injection device features a tubular handle which is grasped by the hand and moved towards the injection site to administer the injection. The device is suitable for self-administration of injections. Use of the device is not technique dependent. Its design, including tubular handle which is grasped in one hand, is easy to use even by the elderly and persons with limited dexterity.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2007Publication date: September 18, 2008Inventors: Faith C.

Patent number: 6585698Abstract: A medication delivery pen includes a housing having opposing proximal and distal ends. An actuator is disposed in the proximal end of the housing for setting and administering a dosage of medication. The pen also includes a medication-containing cartridge assembly having a cartridge with a pierceably sealed distal end, an open proximal end removably attachable to the distal end of the housing, and a piston in sliding fluid tight engagement within the cartridge. A drive mechanism is coupled between the actuator and the cartridge to exert an axial force on the piston to inject the set dosage of medication. The actuator triggers the drive mechanism to administer the injection of medication held in the cartridge. A processor is coupled to the actuator to determine a value equal to the dosage set by the actuator. A memory device is coupled to the processor to store at least the dosage value determined by the processor.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1999Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignee: Becton, Dickinson & CompanyInventors: Jay D. Packman, John E. Burbank, III, Antonio A. Bendek, Robert C. Uschold

Patent number: 5830191Abstract: A flexible endoscopic surgical port comprises a trocar tube or cannula made partially or entirely of flexible material which can be inserted into a body wall at an intercostal location to allow the insertion and manipulation of endoscopic surgical instruments within the thoracic cavity. The surgical port includes a hollow tubular body which is inserted through an intercostal opening in the body wall extending into the thoracic cavity with an annular flange at one end of the tubular body projecting radially outward and engaging the body wall adjacent to the opening. The flange is able to flex relative to the tubular body whereby the surgical instrument inserted in the tubular body can be manipulated over a wide range of motion inside the thoracic cavity. A retainer ring can be installed at the end of the tubular body opposite to the flange to secure the surgical port in the body wall. Improved obturators are provided for installation of the flexible surgical port.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 1994Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Ethicon, Inc.Inventors: Roger L. Hildwein, Robert C. Uschold, J. D. Staley, Jr., Paul Riestenberg, Laura Gallagher, Rex Nagao

Patent number: 5531758Abstract: A reducer seal which fits within the cannula handle of the trocar. Contained on the reducer seal there is a seal retainer. Contained on the seal retainer there is a track and movable on the track there is a slide. The reducer track is attached to the trocar housing. The reducer seal retainer is attached to the slide and holds the reducer seal in place. The reducer slide then snaps onto the reducer track. In an "open" position the reducer slide is held away from an opening in the reducer. Detents on the reducer track hold the reducer in this position. Transverse motion moves the reducer into an active or "closed" position. The reducer seal slides into frictional engagement on the sealing surface of the reducer track. The reducer has a smaller diameter opening than the trocar cannula.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1994Date of Patent: July 2, 1996Assignee: Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc.Inventors: Robert C.
