Abstract: An engine is described that derives its propulsive energy from the flash expansion of liquid nitrogen from a liquid form to a gaseous form. The gaseous nitrogen is forced to escape from the rear of a casing of the engine, thereby providing a propulsive force to the casing. The escaping gaseous nitrogen, mixed with air, is harnessed to rotate a first fan that in turn rotates a second fan that draws air into the front of the engine. The warmer air flowing through the engine is utilized to regulate the temperature of the engine, and to facilitate the evaporation of the nitrogen propellant, thereby creating a steady state condition that may last as long as the supply of liquid nitrogen.

Abstract: An elongated protective textile sleeve for protecting elongate members and methods of constructing a fabric substrate therefore are provided. The fabric substrate has a plurality of filamentary members woven, knitted or braided with one another. At least some of the filamentary members of the substrate extend to cut edges and are fabricated of a multi-component material that includes a core of a first polymeric material and an outer sheath of a second polymeric material. The outer sheath is heat-fusible and the inner core is heat-settable. The outer sheaths of the filamentary members are heat fused at least in the regions near the cut edges to keep the cut edges from fraying or the filamentary members from pulling out of the substrate. The core is heat set to form the desired shape of the protective sleeve.

Abstract: An endoscopic system comprises an endoscope having a fibreoptic cable bundle, an elongate insertion member for insertion into a patient and an operating port. Endoscopic tools, such as cytology brushes, may be inserted into the port. A piece of absorbent material is attached to a cytology brush which acts as a scaffold for the membrane allowing its controlled placement on internal body surfaces after it is inserted into the patient via the port and elongate insertion member. The material absorbs neat fluid from inside the patient. The cytology brush and SAM material are removed and the fluid extracted from the material. The SAM material is discarded, however the cytology brush may be reused on the same patient.
