Abstract: In a high voltage circuit interrupter switch or recloser a single multi-function control actuator is connected to a trip bar for tripping contact operating linkage to effect opening of one or more movable contacts. The control actuator includes a spring biased crank member and a toggle linkage operably associated to permit resetting of the control actuator to its initial position upon effecting movement of the contact operating linkage. The recloser has a switch for energizing a closing solenoid to reclose the interrupter contact. A movable catch is associated with switch operating linkage and is operably connected to the control actuator whereby the control actuator may effect energization of the solenoid to close the interrupter contacts. The control actuator is also connected to a lockout linkage for effecting lockout of the contact operating linkage upon receipt of a control signal when a predetermined number of circuit interruptions have been performed in a predetermined time period.

Abstract: An improved additive transfer device for storing and subsequently transferring a fluid material from an additive container to a rigid or semirigid solution container having an exposed closure. The improved additive transfer device is mounted on the additive container and includes a closure assembly fabricated from three components; a pierceable stopper, a slidable piercing pin and a hood member. The closure assembly is adapted to be positioned on the solution container. The two ended slidable piercing pin is disposed in a central opening in the pierceable stopper so that one end will pierce a diaphragm contained in the pierceable stopper. Resistance elements are provided between the slidable piercing pin and the central opening in the pierceable stopper to hold the slidable piercing pin away from the diaphragm in the pierceable stopper in one position and allow the slidable piercing pin to pierce the diaphragm and retain it within the central opening in a second position.

Abstract: The method of the present invention encompasses comparing the instantaneous value of a waveform with at least two reference voltages, -R and +R, when crossing of these voltages occurs and processing this data in a data processor (46) to determine parameters of the waveform such as frequency and amplitude and of fundamental and DC offset.The apparatus of the present invention includes comparators (E.sub.1 and E.sub.2) which senses the voltage crossings and which has outputs (28 and 30) inputted to a latch (36) and to logic circuitry (32). A counter (50) supplies a count to the latch (36) and the output of the latch (36) is coupled to a microprocessor (46). The logic circuitry (32) has an output (34) coupled to the latch and to the microprocessor (46) first for causing, when a crossing occurs, the latch (36) to latch data identifying the particular crossing made and a count of the time it occurred and second to cause the microprocessor (46) to input this latched data and then to reset the logic circuitry.

Abstract: A walk-behind scrubber is provided with mechanism for lowering a squeegee assembly when the scrubber is moved forwardly and for raising the squeegee assembly when the scrubber is moved rearwardly. The scrubber includes front wheels which are driven by a motor which is connected to the wheels by belts and pulleys when a moveable handle at the rear of the scrubber is pushed to move the scrubber forwardly. The motor is connected to the wheels by friction discs when the handle is pulled to move the scrubber rearwardly. When the handle is pushed, mechanism including a switch is operated to lower the squeegee assembly and when the handle is pulled, the mechanism including the switch is operated to raise the squeegee assembly.

Abstract: A hydrostatic pressure application device for stopping bleeding from an internal wound has a balloon captured within the confines of a net. The net is secured to the area surrounding the wound by sutures tied in surgical thread so that when hydraulic pressure is applied by connecting flexible tubing to the balloon causing it to expand, the capturing of the balloon within the net will cause pressure to be applied to the surface of the wound, thus stopping any bleeding. The device and the surgical threads are removable through an incision when the bleeding from the internal wound has stopped.

Abstract: A terminal adapter for a cartridge fuse accommodating the installation of the fuse in fuse holders of a different size and type while at time insuring the installation of the proper class of fuse in a particular application.

Abstract: A subminiature fuse is disclosed comprising two terminals, a substrate, a fusible conductor, and a unitary housing. The unitary housing is sealed and provides increased mechanical strength, thus reducing the risk of a catastrophic failure of the fuse. The upper portion of the fuse terminals are shaped into finger like projections adaptable to mechanically fastening the fusible conductor and the substrate thereto thus facilitating the manufacturing process. In one embodiment the fusible conductor and adjacent portions of the terminals and substrate are coated with a ceramic coating or adhesive. The housing is sealed by ultrasonic welding or preferably in an insert molded plastic enclosure which is substantially devoid of air.

Abstract: A stoppered vial containing a medicament to be mixed with a diluent is enclosed within a flexible I.V. fluid container. Mixing of the medicament in the stoppered vial with a diluent also contained within the flexible I.V. fluid container is accomplished by first, unstoppering the vial by manipulation of the flexible sides of the container; then second, causing the fluid to intermix with the medicament in the vial by compressing that portion of the flexible container holding the diluent.
