Patent number: 12226587Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: CONVATEC, INC.Inventor: Tim Palmer

Patent number: 8118482Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2009Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Nestec S.AInventors: Tim Palmer, Paul Winter

Patent number: 7722438Abstract: A pneumatic tool with an air blow device. The pneumatic tool, a dual action (DA) sander, includes a nozzle and air blow valve. Compressed air is provided via a DA supply line and an air blow supply line to independently power the DA sander and the air blow device, respectively. The DA sander has an actuator for activating a tool piece including a mounting disc and sandpaper. The air blow device is activated by depressing an actuating button on the air blow valve to open the air blow valve. Layout of the tool piece and the air blow device provide for independent operation of the tool piece and the air blow device.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2007Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Doug Bevard, Tim Palmer

Publication number: 20090242584Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: NESTEC S.A.Inventor: Tim Palmer
