Abstract: An apparatus is provided to allow over filling a fluid level and a means of bringing the fluid level back to a desired operating condition. The apparatus can be installed at a specific fluid level while other members can vary or turn off the automatic fluid leveling feature. The apparatus includes a bore hole or chamber that runs completely through the thickness of the container. A member can be provided with an adapted fit and mate with a wall in the bore hole. This member contains a control feature which in the normal position allows for overflowing the apparatus with fluid, and when enabled, can bring the fluid level in the apparatus back to its desired level.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thrombin-containing hemostatic compositions, their preparation and use. In particular, it relates to hemostatic compositions comprising stabilized thrombin and microfibrillar collagen in an aqueous medium. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the compositions are used in a kit comprising two different components, one of which is autologous patient's plasma as the source of fibrinogen, and the other of which is the thrombin-containing composition which also contains microfibrillar collagen.

Abstract: Apparatus for sealing a postage meter is disclosed. The sealing apparatus includes a member with a cut-out portion. The cut-out portion includes two cover tab receiving openings which are positioned diametrically across from each other. The center of the cut-out portion has a bore hole that runs completely through the thickness of the cover. An insert is provided with is adapted to fit into and mate with the bore hole. The insert contains an opening which will accept a screw and also contains upwardly extending tabs. A screw is used to fasten the sealing apparatus to the postage meter.A cover is stacked over the upwardly extending tab of the insert. The cover is welded to the upwardly extending tabs thereby making it impossible to remove the screw without first drilling a hole in cover and thereafter prying the cover off to expose the screw. A broken or fraudulent cover will indicate that the meter has been tampered with.
