  • Patent number: 8997746
    Abstract: A medical device tube having opposing support ears for improved coupling of an inner cannula to an outer cannula. The medical device tube comprises an outer cannula having opposing support ears on an outer cannula connector flange attached to a proximal end of the outer cannula. The opposing support ears maintain locking ears of the inner cannula in substantially one position. The opposing support ears substantially prevent the locking ears in contact with the outer cannula connector flange from slipping therefrom by, e.g., rotation, axial displacement, torsional shear, etc.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5457800
    Abstract: A limited-access computer, such as an on-board flight management computer, stores a first table in a protected area of its memory defining data items in the computer memory which may be accessed, for reading and/or writing purposes, by a user such as an airline operating a ground computer. A second table, in a non-protected area of the memory, is supplied by the user and defines formats of data reading and writing messages to be transmitted by the user and identifying specific data items to be accessed for each message. The items defined by the user in messages in the second table are limited to the set of data items which are defined as accessible data items in the first table. In response to a received user message, the limited-access computer reads the second table to identify data items in the message and on the basis of data item definition information in the first table accesses the identified data item.

  • Patent number: 4844566
    Abstract: Hingedly connected rectangular panels are used to construct demountable module assemblies useful alone or in combination as multifunctional furniture items. A modular dressing table includes four such module assemblies secured in a two-by-two matrix, and a restraint belt and pad affixed to the top of the matrix. The module assemblies are provided with an aperture to allow user access to the interior space of said assemblies for storage.

  • Patent number: 4359242
    Abstract: A walker-jumper comprises a support member carrying a seat for a child, a base member, and a collapsible and expandable frame connecting the support and base members to allow adjustment so that the feet of the child can contact the ground to propel the walker-jumper. The frame connection to the support and base members is by way of a slidable mount for permitting the members to be expanded to a desired one of several expanded positions so that the distance to the ground may be controlled for different sized children. The frame passes through a mounting member slidably carried below the support member and a lock engages the mounting member to fix the base and support members in the desired expanded position. After being locked in place, the frame is yieldably coupled to the mounting member to allow limited movement of the frame relative to the mounting member, responsive to bouncing movements of a child.

  • Patent number: 4013372
    Abstract: A tubing connection for an article of furniture in which a tubular leg is perpendicularly connected to the external surface of a tubular support member. An elastomeric insert is press-fit into the open end of the leg, and is retained therein by tabs on said leg. A screw is received through the support member and threaded into the insert to bindingly retain said leg and support member together.
