  • Patent number: 4669622
    Abstract: A hollow vertical cylinder is open at its lower end. A deck having an open communicating with the interior of the cylinder seals the upper end of the cylinder. A cap for the upper end has essentially the same shape and size as the top end. The cap has a first relatively small section and a second relatively large section. The first section is secured along a portion of its periphery to a corresponding portion of the upper end periphery by an integral living hinge. The two sections have adjacent edges disposed along a curved line which extends across the deck, these edges being secured to each other at opposite ends of the line and being otherwise unsecured to each other. The secured edges at each end of the line each constitute a separate integral living hinge. The first section is secured to the top end in a region spaced from both hinges. A prong is secured to the second section and is insertable into and removable out of the opening in the deck.

The outer end of the extruded plastic is blanked to partially shape and outline an individual wing. Thereafter, a needle is inserted into a hollow core on the endmost partially blanked wing and a needle guard is positioned over the needle. Finally, the completed fistula is removed from the end of the extruded strip by a final cut or punching for producing a finished fistula.

  • Patent number: 4586339
    Abstract: In heat transfer from a warm water source, efficiency is improved in a thermal energy conversion (TEC) by increasing the temperature of heat supplied to a turbine system substantially above the water temperature. This temperature increase is accomplished in a separate system by reacting gaseous ammonia with water to produce sensible heat at a high temperature; the ammonia is later fractionated from the water using lower temperature heat from the existing heat source. A single-stage temperature increase system (TIS), may be used or there may be an addition of a second stage for raising the temperature of the heat supply even higher.
