Publication number: 20070265550Abstract: A venous-arterial detector is disclosed. The detector includes a first chamber in fluid communication with a needle, and an indicator chamber in selective fluid communication with the first chamber through a valve. The indicator chamber is pre-pressurized to a defined pressure that preferably exceeds typical venous pressure, and the valve retains that pressure within the indicator chamber. When the needle is inserted into a vessel, if the pressure in the vessel is greater than the defined pressure in the indicator chamber, blood will flow into the indicator chamber, indicating that the vessel is most likely to be an artery.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2007Publication date: November 15, 2007Applicant: Surgical Transformations, LLCInventors: Jai Seung Choi, Kelvin Yu Chung Liang, Shente Steven Hsu, Eric Chi Kuo Lee

Patent number: 5705140Abstract: The high temperature combustion of hydrogen and oxygen is used to transform halogenated refrigerant gases (HRGs) and halons to produce calcium fluoride salts. Calcium carbonate is also produced by a series of chemical processes. Calcium chloride is partially consumed by the process by reaction with fluoride released during the high temperature combustion of the HRGs. Calcium chloride is also produced in the process during scrubbing of chlorine and during the recovery of ammonia used to remove carbon dioxide. The calcium chloride produced during the process can be used in the combustion reaction to further produce calcium fluoride.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1995Date of Patent: January 6, 1998Assignee: Transformation Technologies, Ltd.Inventor: P.
