  • Patent number: 10953214
    Abstract: Hemostasis valves and methods for making and using hemostasis valves are disclosed. An example hemostasis valve may include a main body having a distal end region and a proximal end region. A first seal member may be disposed within the proximal end region of the main body. A plunger may be coupled to the proximal end region of the main body. The plunger may be designed to shift between a first position and a second position. A first locking member may be disposed along the proximal end region of the main body. A second locking member may be disposed along the plunger. The second locking member may be designed to engage the first locking member.

  • Patent number: 7284089
    Abstract: A data storage device comprises a non-volatile, re-writable solid state memory 10 having relatively high and low speed ports 12, 14 allowing data to be written into the memory via the high speed port at a substantially faster speed that it is read out from the low speed port, and a memory control 16 for controlling the writing and reading of data to and from the memory.

  • Patent number: 5736303
    Abstract: The invention relates to a photographic element comprising at least one layer comprising at least one substituted hydroquinone and adjacent said at least one layer comprising substituted hydroquinone, at least one layer comprising coupler Magenta-1 ##STR1## wherein R.sub.a and R.sub.b independently represent H or a substituent; R.sub.c is a substituent; X is hydrogen or a coupling-off group; and Z.sub.a, Z.sub.b, and Z.sub.c are independently a substituted methine group, .dbd.N--, .dbd.C--, or --NH--, provided that one of either the Z.sub.a --Z.sub.b bond or the Z.sub.b --Z.sub.c bond is a double bond and the other is a single bond, and when the Z.sub.b --Z.sub.c bond is a carbon-carbon double bond, it may form part of an aromatic ring, and at least one of Z.sub.a, Z.sub.b, and Z.sub.c represents a methine group connected to the group R.sub.b, wherein the ratio of gelatin to organic component in said layer comprising magenta 1 is greater than 1.

  • Patent number: 5695862
    Abstract: The invention provides photographic paper having increased image stability. The invention is generally accomplished by forming a paper sheet, drying said paper in a first stage to below about 10 percent water, then applying a polyvinyl alcohol solution to both sides of said paper sheet, drying said paper in a second stage to below about 5 percent water, and then applying further polyvinyl alcohol solution to said paper and drying in a third stage. The paper then may be coated to form a silver halide photosensitive color paper. The paper contains between about 4 and about 6 weight percent of polyvinyl alcohol that is concentrated near the surface of said paper. Further, the paper has a oxygen leak rate of less than about 25 cc/m.sup.2 /day and an oxygen GTR rate of less than about 1 cc/m.sup.2 /day.
