Abstract: A system for acquiring and managing digital records for an organization receives a request for an action on a digital record that includes predefined critical elements. The system then presents one or more profiles for at least one of the critical elements. The critical elements and the profiles incorporate the digital record management policy and procedures of the organization. The system then receives a selection of one of the one or more profiles and executes the action based on the selection.

Abstract: A simple easy-to-use aircraft navigational plotter is disclosed. The device is used in conjunction with the signals and readouts received from a pair of VOR (Very high frequency Omni-directional Range) stations. A pair of plotter arms is rotatably connected to a central hub (1) and each is removably attached to a center point (11), which is part of a disc (2), that is affixed to a navigation chart over the VOR stations to be used for navigation. The attachment means of the plotter arms (4) to the center point discs (2) provides for a fit where the plotter arms each may both slide and rotate about the respective center point to which each arm is attached.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an automatic self-adjusting thermally powered expansion valve for controlling the flow of refrigerant to an evaporator of a refrigeration system. The valve includes a differential fluid amplifier transducer which produces a constant flow of refrigerant independent of the liquid line pressure and includes a generally cylindrical interior with an inlet chamber having an inlet port and an outlet chamber having an outlet port and an orifice between the chambers providing a passage for the flow of refrigerant through the valve. The flow of refrigerant through the valve is regulated by a valve element, which moves longitudinally within the chambers with respect to the orifice. The longitudinal position of the valve element is controlled by force generators and sensors. The position of the valve element depends on the fluid pressure and the size of the pressure disks, and the spring constant of the compression spring.

Abstract: A surgical procedure for tissue dissection is disclosed in which an incision is made in a human body. A hollow tissue expander is then inserted into the incision to a point where a space or cavity or pocket is desired. Fluid is forced into the expander to cause it to expand an separate two layers of tissue to form the space or cavity or pocket. The expander can be used to dissect or create spaces: (1) within subcutaneous fat; (2) between skin and bone; skin and muscle or skin and fascia; (3) between fat and bone; fat and muscle; fat and fascia; (4) between peritoneum and muscle; peritoneum and fascia; (5) between bladder and other tissue; (6) between nerves and other tissue; (7) between blood vessels and other tissues; (8) between muscle and other tissues. The tissue expander can, in fact, be used any place in the body where a surgeon could or would use other instruments to create spaces in, dissect or separate soft tissues.
