  • Patent number: 6616638
    Abstract: A removal system and method to facilitate removal of a sheath from a medical device such as a hypodermic needle. The removal system comprises a sheath having an exterior housing defining an internal cavity for accommodating a hypodermic needle therein. The sheath is open at one end thereof to facilitate receiving the hypodermic needle therein. An exterior surface of the sheath supports at least one appendage comprising at least one tension leg which interconnects a pushing surface with the sheath. The at least one tension leg partially bows, once a sufficient removal force is applied thereto, facilitating removal of the sheath from a hypodermic needle via a clinician via a one handed technique.

  • Patent number: 6493599
    Abstract: A system for generating data for driving a manufacturing process is described. A symbiotic relationship is established between two Windows NT® system services, including a single instance of a “Sequencer” service, which provides the command, control, and communication for all work in progress, and multiple instances of a “Quantum” service, which manages the execution of a unit of work on command from the Sequencer. All configuration information for the system is stored in a system registry as predefined structures. Registry key entries define the names of the installed Quantum services, as well as the configuration dynamic linked library (“DLL”) image to be loaded by and the sequence number for each Quantum. The Sequencer manages the start up of the installed Quantum services and synchronizes with the created message queues. The Sequencer manages all work in progress and maintains the state of each unit of work.

  • Patent number: 5705469
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for the manufacture of a liquid detergent composition comprising a sulphiting agent and an enzyme system. Said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent interact together so as to generate odors which result in an odor deviation in said detergent composition. In the process of the invention, said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent are intimately mixed together separately from the remainder of the detergent composition so as to generate said odors outside the remainder of said detergent composition. Also disclosed is an enzyme premix consisting essentially of said enzyme system and said sulphiting agent.

  • Patent number: 4098905
    Abstract: The ability of a male to impregnate a female is reversibly effected by administering to the male, preferably daily in pill form, an effective amount of a trihalomethyl-containing lower alkanol, aldehyde, acid, amine, ether, or the like, or a derivative such as an amide or salt which liberates such compound in the body. The length of time needed for the male to regain his fertility depends upon the dosage of active material, preferably trifluoroethanol.
