Abstract: A chip tray system can include multiple chip tube components. A first chip tube component in the chip tray can include one or more gaming chip storage rows corresponding to a first size of gaming chip. A second chip tube component in the chip tray can include one or more gaming chip storage rows corresponding to a second size of gaming chip. An edge of the first chip tube component can be coupled to an edge of the second chip tube component.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved coupling system between a differential of a vehicle and a hydraulic motor including mating flanges having complementary ridges and troughs that interengage with each other, and a plurality of splines on the motor drive shaft that engage with interior teeth on the flanges. The couplings of the present invention are particularly useful for operating vehicles for installing paving on asphalt roadways.

Abstract: A chip tray system can include multiple chip tube components. A first chip tube component in the chip tray can include one or more gaming chip storage rows corresponding to a first size of gaming chip. A second chip tube component in the chip tray can include one or more gaming chip storage rows corresponding to a second size of gaming chip. An edge of the first chip tube component can be coupled to an edge of the second chip tube component.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved paving vehicles for following a supply truck for use in paving asphalt roadways. The paving vehicles of the present invention need not be transported on a trailer, and are capable of traveling at low or relatively high speeds on their own. This is accomplished through the use of novel chassis and propulsion systems having two rear axles, with each axle coupled directly to its own hydraulic motor, such that each of the two hydraulic motors provides power to one axle. Embodiments of the invention also include reciprocating conveyor apparatus and methods, such that the conveyor apparatus may be moved to a lowered position to receive the gravity discharge of materials from a hopper and supply truck during a paving operation, and moved to a raised position in order to provide a wide margin of ground clearance when driving the paving vehicle, or loading or unloading the paving vehicle from a trailer.

Abstract: A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel (12) having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle hub (20) supporting the needle and coupled to the distal end of the syringe barrel (12). A moveable shield (36) is included for sliding from a first position where the needle is exposed a first length, a second position where the needle is exposed a second length less than said first length, and a third position covering a distal end of the needle. A locking mechanism (48, 86) is included to retain the shield in the second position while enabling the shield to slide to the third position, and to lock the shield in the third position to prevent re-use of the syringe.

Abstract: An adhesive patch is secured to an infusion set, patch pump or other on-body medical device by an overmolding process during manufacture of the medical device, or during manufacture of a portion of the medical device, without the need for a separate adhesive. This provides a more secure connection between the patch and the medical device, and reduces the required number of adhesive layers from two (skin attachment side and device attachment side) to one (skin attachment side only), thereby simplifying the design and manufacture of the patch.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a medical device, including forming a flexible base portion to have a plurality of through-holes therethrough, placing the flexible base portion on a non-patient side of an adhesive patch with the through-holes in communication with the adhesive patch, dispensing an adhesive into the through-holes onto the adhesive patch and walls of the flexible base portion surrounding the through-holes; and curing the adhesive to form an adhesive plug mechanically bonding the flexible base portion to the adhesive patch.

Abstract: Apparatuses and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a particulate protective article. An example particulate protective article includes one or more structural sections that are formed of a primary material and one or more protective sections connected with the one or more structural sections so as to form an article of clothing. Each protective section is formed of a particulate blocking or filtering material. In an instance in which the article is worn by a user, the one or more protective sections shield one or more corresponding areas of the user's superficial lymphatic system from particulate matter. In some embodiments, the article is formed as a shirt so as to shield the torso, armpits, and/or neck of the user. In other embodiments, the article is formed as an undergarment so as to shield the groin, lower abdomen, and/or buttocks of the user.
