  • Publication number: 20240181173
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to embodiments of a needle safety sheath, guard, or device that is compatible and removably mountable to syringes (e.g., aspirating syringes for use within the dental industry) to which needles may be mounted. In at least one embodiment, the needle safety sheath, guard, or device includes one or more slots and one or more cutouts along a cylindrical safety sheath of the needle safety sheath, guard, or device along which the cylindrical safety sheath may slide from a retracted position (e.g., non-deployed state) to an extended position (e.g., deployed state) and vice versa. One or more flexible members may be along the cylindrical safety sheath that allow a medical practitioner to remove the needle from the syringe without the medical practitioner having to be exposed to a tip of the commercially available needle.

  • Patent number: 9401241
    Abstract: A solenoid coil assembly for hazardous environments comprises a solenoid coil and an enclosure entirely filled with encapsulation material. The encapsulation material leaves zero or almost zero volume in the enclosure for hazardous material to accumulate in any amount that could explode. This allows the solenoid coil assembly to be constructed without the usual industry standard flame paths. Additionally, the enclosure may be made of physically rigid and strong material such as metal or the like to better withstand harsh and corrosive conditions within hazardous environments without being explosion proof. The walls of such an enclosure need only have a moderate thickness and weight relative to enclosures that are explosion proof, as there is no meaningful risk of an explosion occurring within the enclosure. The combination of a rugged exterior and a zero-volume interior allows the solenoid coil assembly to reduce weight and cost while providing superior environmental protection.

  • Patent number: 8911652
    Abstract: A method of sealing coil leads during encapsulation by placing a lead of a coil in a tube, such that there remains a gap between the lead and the tube; placing the coil in a mold such that the gap remains open to an environment surrounding the mold; and injecting encapsulation material into the closed mold in a liquid state under pressure, thereby causing the material to flow through the gap toward the environment. Injecting encapsulation material into the mold may be done at a rate, temperature, and/or environmental temperature to cause the material to solidify before passing through the gap into the environment. In any case, there is no need to seal the mold to the leads. Each lead of the coil may be placed into an individual tube and/or the tubes may be is formed within a single sleeve.
