Abstract: A device for adapting a transtracheal catheter to a tracheostomy tube includes a plurality of projections for engaging a security flange of the transtracheal catheter. The device provides for proper orientation of a beveled end of the catheter tube when the security flange is oriented as directed with it longest flat side up. A method of adapting a transtracheal catheter to a patient's tracheostomy tube is also provided for providing the delivery of heated and/or humidified gas to tracheotomized patients and/or for weaning a ventilator-dependent patient from the ventilator.

Abstract: My invention idea (Ultimate Jumper Cables, Stationary and Portable Unit Models) is designed to create a new product derived from and old tool (Standard Jumper Cables), providing ease of use and storage along with added safety features currently unavailable in the old “Standard Set Of Jumper Cables”. The product is simply Jumper Cables designed onto a reel to be stored under the hood of a vehicle or any other convenient location where space availability allows. This invention may also be incorporated into any number of applications from mini (or micro size wires) to medium, and industrial size wires to provide temporary wire connections to whatever a person using them finds a need for. It can be manufactured in various sizes to meet any specific application and use of this device.

Abstract: A process for the production of flexible polyurethane foams by the reaction of a polyol and water with polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, the improvement wherein the polyisocyanate includes toluene diisocyanate having a 2,4-isomer to 2,6-isomer ratio is greater than 80:20. The invention encompasses a process for increasing softness of flexible foams by reacting a secondary hydroxyl terminated polyol with a polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent of carbon dioxide derived from the polyisocyanate/water reaction, a substantially low amount of an auxiliary blowing agent, and the polyisocyanate including toluene diisocyanate having a 2,4-isomer to a 2,6-isomer ratio greater than 80:20. It has been found that by the present invention that there is obtained flexible polyurethane foams having the unexpected properties of 15% to 23% softening, increased tear strength, increased tensile strength, and increased percent elongation, and very little change in compression set properties.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a child's crawler garment and a method of making the garment which is a pair of pants having leg portions which are formed in the vicinity of the knee area with a design made of a thermal heat settable material which, when subjected to heat, is caused to raise slightly above the surface of the garment to form an anti-skid surface to prohibit a crawling infant from sliding or falling. Also, an embossed or roughened knee area may provide for an anti-slip surface.
