Abstract: A tourniquet for restricting a flow of blood in a body part is provided. A tourniquet may comprise a tourniquet band having an outer sleeve and an inner tightening strap in slidable engagement with the outer sleeve. The inner tightening strap is formed of a twill weave of polymer material to achieve a greater number of warp ends and provides a single routed inner strap with the tensile strength and relatively low elasticity to support the forces needed to apply occlusion pressure to a body part. A portion of the inner tightening strap is anchored to the outer sleeve. A tightening mechanism is provided to tighten the inner strap. A buckle is anchored to the first end of the tourniquet band. The buckle defines an adjustment port adapted for receiving the tail end of the tourniquet band for forming the tourniquet band into a loop.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter describes a method, system, apparatus, and storage medium for interfacing multiple communication systems via a partitionable router. The router has at least two partitions, each partition having a subset of the router's resources allocated to it. Software programs are executed within each partition using their respective allocated resources. The resources, and any subset thereof, may be allocated non-exclusively, exclusively, and/or non-linearly to the partitions. The router receives information and determines the format of the information. The router identifies the receiving party and transforms the received information into a format compatible for the receiving party. The router then transmits the converted information to the receiving party, where the transmitting and/or receiving party is one of the software programs.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter describes a method, system, apparatus, and storage medium for interfacing multiple communication systems, comprising the following steps. The interface receives information from the client, and determines the format of the information. The disclosed subject matter identifies the third party to receive the information and transforms the originally received information into a format compatible for the third party. The server or router then sends the converted information to the intended third party. The associated process allows communication between the client and third party in both directions.

Abstract: In one form of the invention, a process of sending real-time information from a sender computer (103) to a receiver computer (105) coupled to the sender computer (103) by a packet network (100) wherein packets (111,113) sometimes become lost, includes steps of directing (441) packets (111) containing the real-time information from the sender computer (103) by at least one path (119) in the packet network (100) to the receiver computer (105), and directing packets (113) containing information dependent on the real-time information from the sender computer (103) by at least one path diversity path (117) in the packet network (100) to the same receiver computer (105).

Abstract: In general, the product of the present invention is a plastic liner bag which includes an elastic band, integral with the open top of the plastic bag. The edge of the elastic band which is attached to the plastic bag has a circumference in its relaxed state which is approximately equal to the circumference of the open top of the bag. As such, the elastic band does not interfere with the folding or rolling of the plastic liner bags of the present invention. That is, the bag will lie flat on a flat surface. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of forming a plastic bag out of plastic sheet material so as to have an open end and attaching one edge of an elastic band in its relaxed state to the plastic sheet material so as to be integral with the open end of the bag when it is formed.
