Abstract: A fluid collection device for withdrawing a fluid from an object includes a chamber having a plurality of apertures and an opening for flow of the fluid. A tube is positioned in fluid communication with the opening of the chamber for withdrawing fluid out of the chamber. At least one of the apertures is positioned within a recess for substantially preventing clogging of the apertures during collection and removal of the fluid. The plurality of apertures may be interconnected by grooves for directing the flow and preventing clogging, of the apertures. The tube has a plurality of holes that are positioned within the chamber and held in place with a retaining ring. The apertures may be positioned so that spaces are provided between the apertures for placement of the tube or other devices. Exposed edges of the chamber and recesses are radiused for reducing irritation to a person.

Abstract: A catheter for delivering, a hyperthermic liquid to the interior of an organ of a patient includes an inflow lumen structured to be inserted into the organ and deliver the hyperthermic liquid to the interior of the organ, and an outflow lumen structured to be inserted into the organ and evacuate the hyperthermic liquid from the interior of the organ. The catheter includes a proximal portion that is structured to be received within the internal tissue structure of the patient, wherein at least a portion of the inflow lumen and the outflow lumen are insulated in a manner wherein a temperature on an outside surface of the proximal portion of the catheter will not be more than one degree Fahrenheit above normal body temperature when the hyperthermic liquid is passed through the catheter.

Abstract: A withdrawal catheter and method for removing a material from a specific area includes a first tubing positioned within a second tubing. The first and second tubing has a plurality of holes for withdrawal of the material, such as fluid and small particulates. The first and second tubing may have different wall thicknesses, and the holes may be positioned staggered and have different diameters. At least one of the first and second open ends of the first tubing is connected to a fastener, having a bore for passage of material therethrough. A third tubing is attachable to the fastener for providing a path for the flow of the material from the first and second tubing. The material is aspirated through the first tubing for withdrawing the material. The second tubing substantially prevents larger pieces of material from contacting the first tubing and clogging the holes of the first tubing.

Abstract: The components of a hydroforming machine include a die housing for containing a plurality of dies, a water distribution system, and a means for compressing the dies. The dies includes first and second die plates which are secured together by a key inserted into aligned keyways in each of the first and second die plates. The key is non-rotatable, such as being square shaped, rectangular, triangular, or the like for eliminating interference with adjacently positioned keys. The pins and links coupled to the die plates are held in position by keepers, which are elongated narrow pieces of metal positioned substantially parallel with the die plates and having a width approximately equal to the width of the die plates for allowing a person to view between the adjacent dies and into the die housing for observing formation of the bellows during the hydroforming process.

Abstract: A wrist support for use with electronic computing devices includes a plurality of rollers rotatably attached to roller supports, which are attached to a base. The rollers are positioned arcuately within the roller supports having a center roller positioned at a slightly higher elevation as compared to adjacent rollers. The rollers have protuberances at each end for engagement with holes in the roller supports for enabling the rollers to rotate about an axis. The rollers may also be inclined at a first angle extending from an inner roller support toward an end roller support and at a second angle extending from the inner roller support toward the other end roller support. Pads are attached to the base for enabling the base to flex and provide a cushion between the base and a support surface. Spacers are attached to the base so that the rollers contact the spacers instead of contacting the base.

Abstract: A toy vehicle system has a vehicle provided with a resiliently biased driven wheel. The wheel is driven by a motor and interposed gears for rotating said driven wheel. The driven wheel is in contact with a lateral side of the track. The motor and driven wheel are mounted on a panel which is positioned for relative movement within a slot in the vehicle pedestal. Track engaging elements, which may preferably be spools, have a pair of rotatable elements in engagement with each side of the track. A pair of resiliently biased electrical pickups is disposed in contacting relationship with the electrically energized track rails. One or more lights may be provided on the vehicle. The vehicle is preferably disposed within a closed hollow enclosure.
