Abstract: Adapters are provided for establishing fluid communication between an anesthetic agent container and an anesthetic vaporizer having a fluid port. The adapter may be mountable on the vaporizer to cooperate with the spout of an anesthetic agent container or may be mountable on an anesthetic agent container to cooperate with the fluid port of an anesthetic vaporizer to provide a sealing and/or retaining relationship therebetween.

Abstract: A method of deploying a prosthesis includes engaging a hub assembly of a handle to a threaded outer surface of a slide shaft of the handle; rotating the hub assembly to cause axial translation of the hub assembly and a sheath coupled to the hub assembly to initiate deployment of the prosthesis; disengaging the hub assembly from the threaded outer surface by pivoting a thread tooth of the hub assembly out of threaded engagement with the threaded outer surface; and sliding the hub assembly on the slide shaft to further retract the sheath and complete deployment of the prosthesis.

Abstract: A delivery system includes a sheath and a handle. The handle includes: a slide shaft having a threaded outer surface; and a hub assembly coupled to the sheath. The hub assembly includes: an inner slider having a thread tooth pivot support; a thread tooth pivotably mounted to the thread tooth pivot support; and a sleeve having a thread tooth press member pressing on the thread tooth, where motion of the sleeve relative to the inner slider pivots the thread tooth on the thread tooth pivot support to engage and disengage the hub assembly with the threaded outer surface.

Abstract: An safe and arm apparatus is disclosed wherein the apparatus utilizes setback acceleration for in-bore safety and sustained in-bore acceleration to position various members to allow for subsequent alignment of the firing train at arm time. The apparatus includes a rotor that houses an explosive lead and having a side bore hole formed therein which selectively interrupts the initiating explosive train both in front of and after the explosive train lead. The explosive interface between a detonator and a lead is unimpeded when the bore hole is in-line with a second corresponding hole in a protective cover. The rotor is normally secured by a setback lock and a shear tab. Upon launching from a gun, an in-bore lock (in conjunction with a retaining collar) moves down at a low acceleration level to additionally secure the rotor out-of-line while the projectile is in the gun tube.

Abstract: An electro-mechanical base element fuze is disclosed wherein mechanical innovations along with the latest in electronic sensing, signal processing and miniaturization provide safety and simplicity as well as improving performance, reliability and reducing costs.

Abstract: A package construction resistant to tampering including a pair of laminated layers, one layer having a pocket for receiving product and a cut-out spaced from the pocket, the other layer extending across both the pocket and cut-out, and a line of weakening for severing the layers to expose a finger-grip portion of said other layer peelably retained in position across said cut-out.

Abstract: A dispensing container and method of manufacture wherein a pair of hollow parts are nested and a closure is secured across the hollow of the inner nested part, the outer nested part being swingably connected to define a hinged cover.
