  • Publication number: 20210290894
    Abstract: A rigid package or container for a sterile pre-lubricated, ready to use female-length catheter with enhanced gel holders and simple constructions. A main body of the rigid container has a hollow interior which may receive a gel holder defining an inner cavity filled with a lubricating gel. The gel holder partly inserts into the main body and a tube of the catheter inserts through the gel holder into the main body with a proximal outlet projecting out of the gel holder so as to be graspable. Alternatively, the gel may be provided within the hollow interior of the main body. A rigid and closed cap seals to either the main body or the gel holder and closes the hollow interior of the main body.

  • Patent number: 8118482
    Abstract: A system for changing the temperature (T1) of a fluid such as an on-demand water heater is disclosed. The system comprises an input for receiving the fluid (120) at a first temperature (T1) and an output for delivering the fluid at a second temperature (T2). A conduit connects the input to the output, and comprising means such as a heating element for altering the temperature of the fluid from the first temperature (T1) to the second temperature (T2). The system is characterized by the presence of one or more virtual sensors for estimating the fluid temperature in a given location within the conduit. The system provides accurate fluid temperature control without suffering from the slow responsiveness that usually mars sensor-based systems.

  • Publication number: 20090242584
    Abstract: A beverage dispensing apparatus is disclosed, comprising a solenoid pump coupled between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet for pumping the fluid from said inlet to said outlet, said pump comprising a spring-loaded linear pumping member axially displaceable between a spring-loaded position and a spring-released end position and a controller for the solenoid pump, said controller being arranged to energize the pumping member into an intermediate position between the spring-released end position and the spring-loaded position. Consequently, the solenoid pump has improved noise characteristics and can be used to control the flow rate of the fluid whilst still being energized in substantially every cycle of an alternating current.
