Abstract: A portable, sterilizable light source unit for being coupled to an instrument is provided. The unit includes a sealed housing having an anodized coating and a port for receiving an end tip of a light guide of a separate instrument, a light source mounted within the sealed housing for directing light through the port, a battery mounted within the housing for powering the light source, a switch assembly mounted on the housing for controlling light output of the light source, and an O-ring in a compressed condition between the switch assembly and the housing providing a fluid-tight seal therebetween that prevents liquid intrusion into the housing during an immersion sterilization process.

Abstract: A hydrostatic drive, to operate rotational industrial equipment such as a fan, a pump, a compressor, a conveyor or other drive used in industrial settings. The invention utilizes one or more variable displacement pump(s) configured to drive one or more fixed displacement hydraulic motor(s), or utilizing one or more fixed displacement pump(s) configured to drive one or more variable displacement hydraulic motor(s) or utilizing one or more variable displacement pump(s) configured to drive one or more variable displacement hydraulic motor(s). The pump(s) is powered by a fixed speed or variable speed motor or engine, most likely a fixed speed electric motor. The motor operates the rotational equipment with the purpose of process control, efficiency, and/or energy conservation.
