Abstract: The syringe pump comprises a housing (10). The operating panel (32) is situated on a swiveling lid (30) on the front side of the housing (10). The lid (30) further comprises a window (34) with a magnifying device (35) through which the user can view the syringe. The invention allows for a miniaturization of the syringe pump in a highly densified modular system. The lid (30) may further include a lighting means for illuminating the syringe.

Abstract: An improved pet toy intended to fulfill the cardiovascular needs of pets while limiting the training necessary of the animal and the exertion necessary of the user to meet such needs. The pet toy comprises at least one section of rope, at least one object fixably engaged with the rope, and at least one slide member slidably engaged with the rope, where the slide member has a lumen of sufficient diameter to allow the rope to pass freely therethrough.

Abstract: A protective containment apparatus for preventing damage to expensive components of an assembly due to the failure of an electronic component in a nearby potted circuit which is known to fail catastrophically. The containment apparatus can employ a resilient material 38 placed around the at-risk electronic component 34 prior to potting the circuit. The resilient material 38 absorbs the expanding gases and fragmented parts of the at-risk component 34 which are expelled during the catastrophic failure. The cushioning effect of the resilient material 38 prevents the fragments and parts of the potting material from becoming projectiles that can damage any nearby components of the assembly. The containment apparatus can also employ a restrictive material 42 placed around the at-risk component 34 prior to potting the circuit.
