Abstract: A hand truck assembly includes a hand truck that has a pair of members, a pair of wheels rotatably disposed on the members and a nose plate extending forwardly from the pair of members. The nose plate can be positioned beneath an object to transport the object. Each of the members has a plurality of engagement points being distributed along the members and a shelf unit is slidably attached to the members. The shelf unit releasably engages respective ones of the engagement points on the members for retaining the shelf unit at a selected point along the members. In this way the shelf unit can engage an object that has an elevated lift point to transport the object that has the elevated lift point.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system which adds biochemical sensitivity to a standard biopsy needle such that the practitioner is provided immediate feedback on the metabolism and physiology of tissue in the local environment. Disclosed is a sensor integrated biopsy device for in situ and real time tissue analysis. The sensor integrated biopsy (SIB) needle system will enable biopsy teams to measure local tissue biochemistry in real time during biopsy procedures, adding a valuable new set of parameters to augment and extend conventional image-guided procedures.

Abstract: Disclosed is a design for distributed optic fiber sensors and a corresponding method for sensing chemical concentrations with distributed fiber optic sensors, which utilizes segments of optical fiber which incorporate multiple sensing locations along the fiber. The distributed sensors incorporated into the optic fiber generate signals which are simultaneously detected and combined to produce a resultant signal with the effective optic fiber sensor length equal to that of the corresponding fiber segment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing glass containers for pharmaceutical use. This method allows obtaining containers with a low degree of alkalinity. In some preferred embodiments the process allows the manufacture of sterile containers and substantially free of particles ready to be used by the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract: An extinguisher with a tracking device and vehicle monitoring feature. A fire extinguisher has at least one wall and a siphon tube operatively connected thereto. A radio frequency transponder is also provided. An active tag is mounted inside the wall of the fire extinguisher or the siphon tube. At least one reader is installed in a traffic light pole, tower, light pole, or existing radar positions on public roads. The radio frequency transponder uses a UHF frequency of up to 985 MHz or a microwave radio frequency communication between 1.0 and 5.8 GHz.

Abstract: A control knob for turning on or off a burner of a kitchen gas stove, the knob including a cam-faced spur on a side of the knob shank which travels behind a stationary stop mounted on the stove when the knob is being turned to shut off the gas, the stop preventing the knob to be turned on again unless the knob is first pushed axially so the spur clears the stop, the construction preventing children to readily turn the gas on.
