Publication number: 20110121091Abstract: A cartridge for an electrohydrodynamic spraying device and a spraying device incorporating the cartridge, where the cartridge includes a locking mechanism. The cartridge is disposable, and can contain therapeutic or other fluid products. The fluid is delivered from the cartridge by a shaft-mounted piston, while the locking mechanism can be selectively engaged with the shaft such that in the engaged position, the locking mechanism prevents the piston from advancing by inhibiting movement of the shaft. When the locking mechanism is disengaged from the shaft, the shaft and piston are free to move, such as in response to a power source in the spraying device. The selective engagement between the locking mechanism and the shaft during periods of inoperability of the spray device prevents the buildup of fluid pressure in the cartridge that otherwise could blurt out upon subsequent operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTEInventor: James Lind

Patent number: 7686309Abstract: A hydraulic system for a suspension system for a vehicle includes at least one first pair of wheel rams (11, 12) at a first end of the vehicle and at least one second pair of wheel rams (13, 14) at a second end of the vehicle, each rams including a compression chamber (45-48) and a rebound chamber (49-52); and the system includes first and second diagonal circuits with respect to said vehicle. The hydraulic system includes at least one first and second modal resilience devices (81, 82). These devices each including at least one resilient means (107-110), at least one moveable member (105-106) and at least first and second (89, 90 and 91, 92) system modal chambers. Motion of the moveable member of each modal resilience device due to roll or pitch motion of the vehicle is controlled by the respective at least one resilient means to thereby provide respective roll or pitch resilience in the system.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2005Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Kinetic Pty.

Publication number: 20090140501Abstract: A suspension system for a vehicle body and at least two forward and two rearward wheel assemblies. The suspension system has a hydraulic system including at least one front left, front right, rear left and rear right wheel rams (11, 12, 13, 14) respectively located between the wheel assemblies and the vehicle body, each wheel ram including at least a compression chamber (45, 46, 47, 48). The compression chamber of each wheel ram is in fluid communication with a respective compression conduit (61, 62, 63, 64) forming a front left, a front right, a rear left and a rear right fluid volumes. The front left and rear left fluid volumes are in fluid communication with a first flow control means (100) controlling the fluid communication there between; and the front right and rear right fluid volumes are in fluid communication with a second flow control means (101) controlling the fluid communication there between.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2006Publication date: June 4, 2009Applicant: KINETIC PTY LTD.Inventors: James Lind Taylor, Raymond Andrew Munday, Richard Monk
