Abstract: Described is a large volume parenteral (LVP) infusion device system including a cassette and a pump. The system can include means for sensing pressure in a pump having a symmetric or matched, parallel dual chamber pumping mechanism and an attached cassette. The system can include a cassette having dual pumping chambers and a distal fitment, the distal fitment having an outlet port configured for attachment to tubing for infusion administration and being disposed on a distal end of the cassette, the distal fitment further including opposing cutouts. The system can also an air in line sensor, the AIL sensor configured to bracket the distal fitment at the position of the cutout when the cassette is loaded on the pump. The cassette can be mechanically coupled to the pump. The cassette can include a user actionable flow stop. The system can be configured for cassette misload protection.

Abstract: This application provides an electronic wallet or passport case for controlling the opening, unlocking and locking of enclosures such as luggage, briefcases, lockers, cases, cabinets, vehicles, buildings, homes and with indirect operational control by the means of a smartphone, tablet or any personal computing device. More particularly, a Smartphone Controlled Biometric and Bluetooth Enabled Locking Smart Wallet System is provided. The Smartphone Controlled Biometric and Bluetooth Enabled Locking Smart Wallet System includes a biometric based finger print authentication module, and a Bluetooth communications enabled module, to prevent a non-owner or unauthorized user from accessing the device, along with mobile applications to control the Smart Wallet System using a smartphone. The smart wallet equipped unit may be replaced by any locking case such as a briefcase or luggage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter element (10) having a filter body (20 and a substantially axially sealing element (100) which is disposed at a peripheral surface (22) of the filter body (20), in particular foamed to the peripheral surface (22), wherein the sealing element (100) features a first sealing surface (102) and a second sealing surface (104) which are oppositely positioned to each other in axial direction with an axial gap (30). wherein the sealing element (100) features between the sealing surfaces (102, 104) at its circumference a contour (110) at which a contour segment (112, 114) each joins the sealing surface (102, 104) in an obtuse angle and the two contour segments (112, 114) abut at a joint (116). The invention relates furthermore to a filter system (200) with a replaceable filter element (10).

Abstract: A tow rope for a water ski which provides a manner to communicate a majority of the force from a tow rope engaged to a boat directly to the water ski during deep water starts by a skier. The force is transferred to a handle held by the skiers hands once the skier has reached a substantially standing position and is on top of the water. A quick release is provided which will disconnect the tow rope should the skier activate it or fall.

Abstract: The invention concerns a filter insert (1) that is provided as an exchangeable insert in an oil filter of an internal combustion engine, as well as a corresponding oil filter. The oil filter comprises a filter housing (3) separable along a separating plane (2) and the exchangeable filter insert (1). Two housing parts (4, 5) of the filter housing (3) are sealed relative one another along the separating plane (2) by means of a seal (6). The seal (6) is captively secured on the filter insert (1).

Abstract: A water toy is disclosed herein. In one aspect, the water toy is comprised of a non-rigid material which has an injection molded main body and flap. This flap is integral with the main body and connected via a living hinge. The flap can be either in an open or closed position. When the flap is in the closed position, an inner chamber is defined and it is capable of containing enough air to enable the toy to float. When the flap is in the open position, access is provided to the inner chamber for cleaning or drying. Teething portions may also be provided in features of the water toy.

Abstract: A modular membrane filtration device is provided with replaceable membrane elements. The device is designed for ease of cleaning or replacing the membrane elements during filtration of a feed liquid to remove suspended solids. The cleaning may be effected by continuous aeration or by application of air as intermittent pressurized pulses. The device preferably has two headers, at least one of which is a permeate collection header having receptacles for a plurality of membrane elements, each of which is a potted hollow fiber membrane bundle. The potted hollow fiber membrane bundles are distinct entities which may be inserted into the receptacles, preferably in rows of circular slots, on the permeate collection header(s), and may be easily removed for maintenance, such as for replacement of the hollow fiber membrane elements.

Abstract: A self-contained handheld infrared medical thermometer having an elongated probe that is reciprocably movable between a retracted position, located fully within the thermometer housing, and an extended position, located exterior to the housing. When extended, the probe is adapted for insertion into a patient's outer ear canal to measure the patient's body temperature. When the probe is retracted within the housing, a reference plate is pivoted in front of the probe, to facilitate calibration. Advancement of the probe to its extended, operative position automatically pivots the reference plate away from the advancing probe and, in addition, automatically advances a disposable protective cover from a container for a large number of such covers into a position where it automatically stretches over the advancing probe to provide hygienic protection.
