Abstract: This invention relates to an accurate mechanical proportioning pump and/or mixing device that is adaptable for industrial, commercial and consumer use that incorporates a series of piston-seal-cylinder configuration with necessary check valves and seats that automatically proportionally pumps and/or mixes such fluids as soaps, fruit concentrates, food syrups, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers based on various other fluid driving mediums with a high degree of accuracy of controlled fluid to driving mediums.

Abstract: This invention relates to human hand splinting and/or orthopedic assembly devises used to increase and effectuate functional use of a paralyzed human hand. It may also be used to overcome stiffness of hand joints and soft tissue caused by trauma or disease. The invention consists of a covering for the hand, typically a glove, that has a plurality of flexion cords and extension cords which are affixed to the fingers of the covering for the hand through a series of openings in the covering for the hand. Attached to one end of the flexion cords and the extension cords are various straps which are holding means for the fingers and which are capable of being attached to a forearm cuff. When the various flexion cords and extension cords are energized by the drawing of the straps, the fingers in the covering for the hand may be positioned in a desired configuration for the assistance of the human hand.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fluid sealing mechanism for the inside diameter and or the outside diameter of a piston-cylinder arrangement. This device results in zero seal leakage path with low differential seal pressure required using only one piston ring, one ring groove, and very loose dimensional tolerances required on both the ring and related groove. This yields an inexpensive more positive seal for fluid piston-cylinder configuration used in industrial, commercial, and personal use.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fliud sealing mechanism for the inside diameter and/or the outside diameter of a piston-cylinder arrangement. This device results in substantially zero seal leakage path with low differential seal pressure required using only one piston ring, one ring groove, and very loose dimensional tolerances required on both the ring and related groove. This yields an inexpensive more positive seal for fluid piston-cylinder configuration used in industrial, commercial, and personal use. This invention further includes an expander void within the piston wall to permit use of different elastomers.
