  • Patent number: 7887494
    Abstract: Arrangements are provided including a fluid transport tube, or a needle, having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and a lumen having an inner diameter. At least one fluid transport enhancing projection is disposed in the lumen and extends from the second end toward the first end. A discreet, wearable blood glucose monitor including such arrangements is also described.

  • Patent number: 7883049
    Abstract: An arcuate or semi-circumferential shield in the shape of a visor that is adapted to be secured to an external surface of a nozzle housing of a jet nozzle to attenuate jet noise generated by the jet nozzle. The shield may be fixedly secured to the nozzle housing or movably supported so that it can be moved between retracted and deployed positions. When used as a fixedly mounted component, or when positioned in its deployed position, a downstream edge of the shield extends past a downstream edge of the nozzle housing and the shield is spaced apart from an outer surface of the nozzle housing to form a channel therebetween. The shield is preferably orientated at approximately a bottom dead center of the nozzle housing. The shield operates to attenuate jet installation noise, and particularly jet installation noise experienced during the takeoff phase of flight of a jet aircraft, as well as to reduce jet installation noise that would otherwise propagate forwardly toward the cockpit of the aircraft.
