  • Patent number: 8789854
    Abstract: A flow regulated quick-connect fitting has a polymeric first connector and a polymeric second connector, the first connector being either a male fitting or a female fitting, and the other of the male fitting or the female fitting being the second connector. The female fitting has a longitudinal cylindrical cavity therein, and the male fitting has a generally cylindrical body having an end opening. The cylindrical body of the male fitting is positionable within the cylindrical cavity of the female fitting forming the connection. A clip is pivotably connected to the second connector moving between a first position connecting the female fitting to the male fitting when the male fitting is positioned within the female fitting and a second position in which the male fitting is removable from the female fitting. A replaceable flow regulator in the male fitting end opening regulates flow through the quick-connect fitting.

  • Patent number: 8695898
    Abstract: A faucet spout assembly including a spout shell and a stream straightener insert. The spout shell includes an inlet end, an outlet end, and a waterway that extends between the inlet end and the outlet end. Water flows around the stream straightener insert and is delivered from the outlet end of the spout shell in a laminar, sheet-like column, giving the appearance of a large volume of water being dispensed from the faucet spout assembly.

  • Patent number: 7935081
    Abstract: Disclosed is an interface between a drug delivery cassette and a medical effector system. The cassette may be mounted to the medical effector system in such a way that a fluid tube located on the cassette is positioned adjacent to a pump located on the medical effector system. The medical effector system may purge the fluid line of air by activating the pump and forcing fluid through the fluid line until a sensor positioned to monitor the fluid line indicates that fluid and not air is present in the tube. To prevent air purging of the fluid tube when connected to the patient, the medical effector system prohibits air purging unless the drug delivery end portion of the fluid tube is in a designated storage site located on the cassette. This is accomplished with a position sensor at the storage site that monitors the position of the fluid tube.

  • Publication number: 20090257180
    Abstract: A portable electronic book system is disclosed. The portable electronic book system includes at least one receiving module, a memory module, a processing module, and a display module. The at least one receiving module is to receive an electronic data from at least one machine readable storage medium. The electronic data is associated with content of at least one textbook of a user. The memory module is operatively coupled to the at least one receiving module. The memory module is adapted to store the electronic data received from the at least one receiving module. The processing module is operatively coupled to the memory module. The processing module is adapted to retrieve the stored electronic data from the memory module and process the retrieved electronic data. The display module is operatively coupled to the processing module and adapted to display the processed electronic data.
