Abstract: Disclosed herein are various techniques and devices for detecting a level of fluid within a fluid collection receptacle. These techniques and devices may further determine a flow rate of fluid entering the fluid collection receptacle or a volume of fluid collected within the fluid collection receptacle. Sensors, including pressure sensors, may be installed in, on, or within the fluid collection receptacle to detect information about the liquid within the receptacle including fluid level, flow rate, and volume.

Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical forceps device having a handle at the proximal end and forceps jaws at the distal end is described. These two ends are connected via an elongated tubular section that houses the actuating member for controlling the motion of the forceps at the distal end relative to the motion of the proximal handle. A dovetail member connects the forceps to a shaft that is slidably disposed in the tubular section at the distal end of the device, where the tubular section constrains the motion of the two jaws perpendicular relative to the axial direction. A coupling member is attached to the actuating member where drive slots interact with the drive pins on the forceps, whereby squeezing the handle causes the desired relative parallel opening or closing motion of the forceps jaws.

Abstract: A saddle type adsorbent unit including first and second porous fabric adsorbent containers, a connecting member connecting the first and second containers and for placement between the upstanding pipe portions of a U-shaped pipe of a receiver, tabs on the outer ends of the adsorbent containers having apertures therein for receiving a filter housing on the underside of a return bend of the U-shaped pipe to thereby fixedly mount the saddle type adsorbent unit onto the U-shaped pipe.

Abstract: An adsorbent unit consisting of first and second porous fabric containers having adsorbent therein, a connecting member connecting end portions of the containers to each other, and tabs connecting side edge portions of the containers to each other with the containers oriented in side-by-side relationship. The foregoing adsorbent unit is mounted on the U-shaped pipe of a refrigerant accumulator with the connecting member adjacent the return bend of the accumulator and the tabs adjacent the pipe portions of the U-shaped pipe. The adsorbent unit can be shrunk relative to the U-shaped pipe after it has been installed thereon.
