Abstract: An instrument for delivering a pre-tied suture assembly, having a needle carrying a thread with a noose thereon, into a body cavity. The needle has a pointed free end to puncture a tissue and guide movement of the needle and thread therethrough. The instrument has an elongate body with proximal and distal ends. Structure is provided on the body for holding the needle in a transfer position with the pointed free end of the needle shielded to prevent inadvertent puncture of a tissue as the suture assembly is introduced into a body cavity through the instrument. The body has a noose receiving portion to be surrounded by the noose with the needle in its transfer position to prevent the noose from closing upon itself.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a cautery dissector. The cautery dissector is comprised of a cautery blade and a handle member having a sheath portion and a device for adjustably retracting the cautery blade into the sheath portion. The cautery dissector also comprises a device for conducting electrical current to the tissues of the patient. Heat is generated within the tissue by communication between the cautery blade and the electrical dissecting unit. Preferably, the cautery dissector includes a suction system having a suction opening disposed adjacent to the cautery blade. Preferably, the cautery blade retracts into the sheath portion through a sheath opening which scrapes accumulated material from the cautery blade such that when the cautery blade is retracted into the sheath portion, the suction opening is unobstructed for suction. Preferably, a scraper member is disposed within the sheath member to assist in scraping accumulated material from the cautery blade.

Abstract: The invention concerns a mixing system for mixing two liquids at the inlet to the headbox of a paper machine with: an inlet line (A) for the first partial volume flow (a); an inlet line (B) for the second partial volume flow (b); an outlet line (C) for the mixture volume flow (c) with the flow resistance (W); a mixing angle (.alpha.) with the inlet line (A) and the inlet line (B); a main flow angle (.beta.) between the inlet line (A) and outlet line (C); a valve (S) installed in the inlet line (B) for control of the partial volume flow (b). The mixing angle (.alpha.) is selected so that the mixture volume flow (c) remains constant, independent of the partial volume flow (b).

Abstract: A game of catch is enhanced by the provision of a special glove and football. The glove is symmetrical so that it can be worn on either the right hand or the left hand and is formed from a close fitting elastic fabric. One part of a hook and loop fastener is attached to the glove while a complimentary part of the hook and loop fastener is attached to the football. The fasteners are disposed on the glove in a preferred pattern which provides a large area of contact without inhibiting the flexibility of the glove. The fasteners are attached to the football in a preferred configuration which completely covers the end sections of the football while leaving the central section of the football with spaced fasteners facilitating the grasping and throwing of the football.

Abstract: A method for monitoring and controlling the data flow in a packet data net or a datagram net comprising lines and nodes, the lines via nodes connecting by the network comprised terminals between which traffic takes place in the form of data packets or datagram. Every line and every node comprises a process preceded by a certain queue of data packets/datagram. Data packets are sent in to the net from the terminal for with a given frequency during a given time interval. If during this interval no throttling order is received from the following process, the frequency is increased by a given factor. This occurs successively until a given maximum frequency is reached. If on the other hand a throttling order is received during the interval, the frequency is instead reduced by a given factor which also occurs successively until no throttling order is received during an interval.
