Abstract: The present invention provides a surgical clamp which enables a surgical team to use a clamp and plate simultaneously. The surgical clamp of the present invention includes a scissors-like structure having a pair of shafts which are hingedly and pivotally secured to each other via a pivot point. Located at one end of each shaft is a handle for enabling the user to grasp and manipulate the device, while located at the second end of each shaft is a bone engaging member. The pivotal point is located in proximity to the handles so as to provide for an adequate amount of clearance to exist between the bone engaging means and the surgical team. For providing the adequate amount of clearance, the shafts extending between the pivotal point and the bone engaging member includes an arc shape. This unique shape widens the gap or space between the two shafts. The clamp device further includes a locking member for locking this device in a fixed and secured position.

Abstract: The present invention is a water level detector or flood alarm device which will activate a warning once water has reached a pre-determined and potentially damaging or dangerous level.

Abstract: A device is disclosed which allows water-lift mufflers, silencers or suppressors to be fully flushed, while in or out of the water, without running the engines. The device can be mounted between a remote access panel or control panel and a conventional fresh water flush valve. Fresh water flow provides fluid power to a primary section impeller or turbine, where power is then mechanically transmitted to an evacuation or secondary section impeller or turbine through a shaft on which both impellers mount. The inlet section of the secondary section impeller connects by hose to the drain plug universally present on marine engine mufflers, silencers and suppressors. The outlet section of the secondary section impeller connects by hose to an overboard drain. Fresh water, having sufficient flow and pressure, applied to the device drives the primary section impeller, causing the impeller to rotate.

Abstract: An electrical system is provided in a motor vehicle to activate the headlights and taillights once the windshield wipers have been switched on. The electrical system also provides for the headlights and taillights to be deactivated once the ignition switch is off. At least one relay is placed between the windshield wiper switch and the headlights and taillights. A current entering the relays from the initiation of the windshield wiper switch, induces a magnetic field across the inductor, closing the switches within the relays, thus illuminating the lights. If two relays are used, then the second relay maintains the activation of the headlights and taillights if the windshield wiper switch is deactivated. If the lights (headlights and taillights) are not desired then a push button switch can deactivate the lights.
