Abstract: Disclosed here is an autoclave system for curing a part. The autoclave includes a gas recirculation system, at least partially external to a vessel pf the autoclave system and fluidly coupleable to the vessel such that gas contained in the vessel is delivered to the gas recirculation system, passed through the gas recirculation system, and recirculated back into the vessel. The autoclave system also comprises at least one mold core, located within the vessel. The mold core comprises a conduit extending through the mold core and the mold core is configured to define a shape of the part. The gas delivered to the gas recirculation system from the vessel is gas received directly from the conduit of the mold core.

Abstract: An automatic syringe drive assembly and disposable heat exchanger cassette are used in combination to provide an improved thermodilution technique and apparatus. The automatic syringe drive assembly includes replaceable connecting rods on a slider crank mechanism which permit easy and accurate adjustment of the syringe injection volume. The drive assembly supports as insulated syringe for use in making the injection. The heat exchanger cassette includes a heat transfer plate and a thermoformed plastic labyrinth adhesively connected and used in combination with a thermoelectric chiller to provide a cold bolus of injectate.

Abstract: An exercise machine or device for progressively and increasingly strengthening the muscles of normal subjects associated with the limb extremity digits or phlanges, i.e., the fingers and toes. The basic component comprises a limb extremity platform and, coupled thereto by suitable pivot or hinge structure, a forward, movable digits' support member essentially disposed in the same plane as said platform, when disposed in a normal or medial-point operative position. Means for resisting digits' pressure upon the digit support member is connected thereto at an outer margin thereof, such structure generally comprising a flexible elongate connector such as a cable which is routed over a support pulley. The remaining extremity of the connector will generally be associated with weight means, generally permitting differential loading in small pound increments, e.g., one to five pounds. The machine or device is usable for strengthening the muscles of either the fingers or toes of the user.
