Patent number: 7448091Abstract: Presented are several embodiments of a disposable elastomeric glove for protecting IV-catheters in human hands and forearms against water and water borne infection. Said protective glove (also called “IV-Glove”) comprises a resilient cylindrical or conical cuff snuggly embracing a human forearm thereby creating a watertight seal, which shields water from getting inside said glove during washing and showering. IV-Glove is made substantially loose around possible IV-catheter insertion sites, providing space large enough to accommodate IV-catheters along with infusion plugs and means of affixing said plugs and catheters to skin. IV-Glove may be manufactured in variety of types, of which some are intended to protect IV-sites in backs of human hands, whereas other types are more suited to protect IV-sites in human forearms. IV-Glove for a hand has increased body size bulging over a back of a hand.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2003Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Applicont, LLCInventor: Sergey Kruss

Patent number: 7322813Abstract: Presented is a method of manufacturing opened at both ends thin walled elastomeric sleeves of complex shapes. The proposed technique employs standard dip molding process but with modifications which enable producing of opened at both ends sleeves right from the drying stage and eliminates the necessity of cutting lower dipped ends subsequently to the dipping process. This technique allows sleeves to be manufactured with rolled beads at both ends. The main benefit of the present invention is a possibility of manufacturing sleeves on existing standard automated and semi-automated dip molding lines, traditionally used for manufacturing elastomeric gloves and condoms. The gist of the invention is a composition of a dipping former with a bottom coated by hydrophobic material such as PTFE. This composition impedes buildup of coagulant and coagulum on the bottom. The loose coagulum layer is removed by means of washing off with directed and appropriately timed sprinklers.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2003Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Applicont, LLCInventor: Sergey Kruss

Patent number: 6624435Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring the viscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids over a range of shear rates, especially low shear rates, by monitoring two rising columns of fluid (Newtonian or non-Newtonian) that pass through respective capillaries having different lengths. Furthermore, a specialized column monitor is provided that uses multiple interrogation sources (e.g., lasers) and a single detector (e.g., a charge-coupled device (CCD) array) to continuously monitor both columns of fluid substantially simultaneously. In particular, the system includes a Y-connector to form two flow paths and wherein each flow path includes a tube that includes a riser tube, a capillary tube of predetermined dimensions and a valve in each for controlling the fluid flow in each path.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2001Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Rheologics, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Kensey, William N. Hogenauer, John E. Nash, Harold E. Clupper, Sangho Kim, Young Cho, Peter Randolph Hazard Stark, Roberto O. Pellizzari, Sergey Kruss
