Abstract: An endotracheal tube has a proximal end and a distal end and includes a tracheal portion having an opening at the proximal end and a bronchial portion attached at an angle to the tracheal portion. The bronchial portion has an opening at the distal end of the endotracheal tube. A balloon is positioned within the endotracheal tube that blocks the flow of a gas through the bronchial portion of the endotracheal tube when inflated. The endotracheal tube has an opening between the proximal end and the balloon. The opening is positioned to allow ventilation of the lung opposite the lung into which the bronchial portion is adapted to extend into. The endotracheal tube may include a carinal seating mechanism which may be located near the junction between the tracheal portion and the bronchial portion of the endotracheal tube. The endotracheal tube further may also include an inflatable bronchial extension tube.

Abstract: A surface mount leaded chip connector plug for mating with a standard leaded chip connector socket is described. The plug includes an insulator having an outer circumference and a depth, and a multiplicity of electrical contacts disposed about the outer circumference. Each of the electrical contacts has a body and two arms. The body has a back side, a midline and two ends, and slopes inwardly from the ends toward the midline such that the body slidably locks with the leaded chip connector socket. One of the arms adjoins one of the body ends and the other of the arms adjoins the other of the body ends. Each of the arms extends toward the back side. The arms are separated by a distance greater than the insulator depth such that the electrical contact may be securely disposed about the insulator.
