Publication number: 20220104393Abstract: A appliance immersion tank system comprising: a generally rectangular tank adapted to immerse in a dielectric fluid a plurality of appliances, each in a respective appliance slot distributed vertically along, and extending transverse to, the long axis of the tank; a primary circulation facility adapted to circulate the dielectric fluid through the tank; a secondary fluid circulation facility adapted to extract heat from the dielectric fluid circulating in the primary circulation facility, and to dissipate to the environment the heat so extracted; and a control facility adapted to coordinate the operation of the primary and secondary fluid circulation facilities as a function of the temperature of the dielectric fluid in the tank. A plenum, positioned adjacent the bottom of the tank, is adapted to dispense the dielectric fluid substantially uniformly upwardly through each appliance slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Christopher L. Boyd, James P. Koen, David Christopher Laguna, Thomas R. Turner, Kenneth D. Swinden, Mario Conti Garcia, John Charles Tribou

Patent number: 4815619Abstract: A medicament vial safety cap which may be formed integrally at the time of manufacture of the medicament vial or added as an accessory to an existing conventional medicament vial allows an equalization of pressure to occur within a chamber adjacent to the stopper of the vial so that aerosolization of medicaments does not occur as a hypodermic needle is inserted or withdrawn from the vial. A hydrophobic filter, communicating between the vial safety chamber and the ambient, allows the pressure equalization to occur while trapping molecules of medicament inside the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1987Date of Patent: March 28, 1989Inventors: Thomas R. Turner, Bernard M. Kraemer, Michael L. Harrison
