Publication number: 20230058911Abstract: A urinary-catheter package (100) includes a container (120) including a urinary catheter (110) and a lubricant (140). The urinary catheter includes a catheter tube (112) and a drainage lumen extending through the urinary catheter, the drainage lumen fluidly coupling a plurality of eyelets in a distal-end portion of the catheter tube with an opening in a proximal end of the urinary catheter. The container includes a catheter section (122), a lubricant section (124) in a distal-end portion of the container, and a separator (126) between the catheter section and the lubricant section. The catheter section is configured to hold the urinary catheter, and the lubricant section is configured to hold the lubricant. The separator is configured to separate the lubricant in the lubricant section from the urinary catheter in the catheter section until the separator is broken by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2020Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Abigail Nabors, D.

Patent number: 10513453Abstract: A roof mounted oxygen-fuel burner for a glass melting furnace can produce a variable moving or sweeping flame in the furnace and can also vary the flame shape. The burner has a housing having an oxygen inlet pipe coupled to an oxygen chamber and a fuel inlet pipe coupled to a fuel feeding crossover block. The fuel feeding block feeds fuel to a nozzle fuel port while the oxygen chamber feeds a plurality of nozzle oxygen ports which oxygen port outlets are angled toward the centralized fuel port outlet. A rotating impeller over the oxygen ports has a partial opening that causes a variable moving or sweeping flame in the burner as the impeller rotates. The impeller is also raised or lowered to control the flow of oxygen to the plurality of oxygen port outlets to control the shape of the burner flame.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: James K Nabors, Jr., Abigail Nabors
