Patent number: 8104656Abstract: Disclosed herein is a spare magazine carrier for securing at least one magazine on a user's belt. The carrier includes at least one pocket for receiving the magazine and a pivotal cover atop the pocket for retaining the magazine therein. The cover normally extends over the top of the pocket and prevents withdrawal of the magazine and can be rotated to the side of the pocket to allow withdrawal of the magazine from the pocket. The cover is pivotally attached to the pocket with a frictional hinge in order to prevent inadvertent cover movement and thus inadvertent magazine removal.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2011Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Inventor: Daniel F.

Patent number: 5773270Abstract: A system for electrochemical measurement of glucose concentration in an undiluted test sample, e.g. blood is provided containing a sensor including a three-layered contiguous membrane. The membrane has a thickness of 50 to 130 microns, and is composed of a 1 to 10 micron thick first layer, a 10 to 30 micron thick second layer having an average pore diameter of 15 nanometers and a 40 to 80 micron thick third layer containing glucose oxidase. The third layer is less dense than the first and second layers and the first layer is more dense than the second layer. The layers of the membrane are fused together such that no clear distinction can be made between the layers at the boundary. The sensor is calibrated in a standard glucose solution which includes catalase as a hydrogen peroxide scavenger, and the sensor has a response that is linear throughout the concentration range of glucose in an undiluted sample.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1994Date of Patent: June 30, 1998Assignee: Chiron Diagnostics CorporationInventors: Paul A.

Patent number: 5435148Abstract: A compression-type refrigeration system is disclosed, in which "flash gas" formation is eliminated without artificially maintaining condenser temperature and pressure levels. Condenser temperatures and pressures are allowed to fluctuate with ambient operating conditions, resulting in reduced compressor load and increased refrigeration capacity. After condensation, liquified refrigerant in the conduit between the receiver and the expansion valve is pressurized without adding heat, by means of a combination of (a) a positive-displacement pump, in parallel with the conduit, (b) a bypass conduit pressure regulating controller, and (c) a check valve in the conduit, to a pressure sufficient to suppress flash gas in the conduit. A variable speed liquid injection pump is provided to inject liquid refrigerant from downstream of the positive-displacement pump to upstream of the condenser, at a controlled rate sufficient to desuperheat the refrigerant upstream of the condenser.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1993Date of Patent: July 25, 1995Assignee: JDM, Ltd.Inventors: Marc D. Sandofsky, David F. Ward
