  • Patent number: 4898169
    Abstract: An instrument for direct current electrical therapy of hemorrhoidal lesions or the like in a patient consists of a D.C. electric generator, a grounding pad, a probe with distal tip for penetration of a lesion, and a handpiece for support of the probe and control of the level of current. The probe has a base and at least one electrode terminating in the distal tip. The handpiece has a lower handle to be gripped by a physician. The probe base is coupled to the handpiece, with the probe axis at an obtuse angle to the lower handle axis, the angle selected to allow a physician to hold the instrument without extended abnormal wrist flexure. Disposed generally above the lower handle is a front panel visible to the physician when the probe tip is penetrated into a lesion. The front panel includes a display of conditions disposed generally the line of sight of a physician with the probe tip.

  • Patent number: 4657670
    Abstract: An automatic demand chlorination system for use with a recirculation unit for a body of fluid, the body of fluid has a chemical therein. The automatic demand chlorination system comprises a chemical sensing unit for detecting the amount of the chemical and producing a signal, a chemical feed unit for feeding the chemical into the recirculation unit, an electronics unit for controlling the feeding of the chemical, and a solenoid unit for actuating the chemical feed unit. The electronics unit comprises input signal regulation means for receiving the signal of the sensing unit and generating a regulated signal; comparator means for comparing the regulated signal with a predetermined signal representative of the desired amount of the chemical in the recirculation unit and generating a chemical infeed signal; and solenoid timer means for receiving the chemical infeed signal and activating the solenoid unit.
