Abstract: Embodiments include systems, methods and devices for the percutaneous delivery of therapeutic agents to tendons, ligaments and muscle. Certain embodiments include a device comprising a needle-catheter based delivery system with adjustable characteristics to allow a clinician to control the angle and depth of needle and/or catheter deployment to a desired location. System embodiments may include a controller unit where a clinician can adjust the axial position depth and location of needles and/or catheters.

Abstract: A concealable cantilever support has a first leg extending from an outward end to an inward end, and near its inward end at least one adjusting hole; and a second leg orthogonal to the first leg, and integrally joined at an inward end thereof to the inward end of the first leg, inward faces of the first and second legs facing each other without intervening material. A portion of the first leg distal from the adjusting hole is restrained flat to the hidden face of the wall, the second leg protrudes from a roomward face of the wall with its outward face upward and orthogonal to the wall, a portion of the first leg adjacent the adjusting hole is free to flex away from the hidden face of the wall by actuation of an adjusting screw inserted through the adjusting hole.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine augmentor nozzle has an inlet for connection to an augmentor fuel conduit and an outlet for expelling a spray of fuel. A passageway between the inlet and outlet is at least partially bounded by outlet end surface portions diverging from each other. The nozzle may be used as a replacement for a non-divergent nozzle and may reorient a fuel jet centerline toward radial.

Abstract: An exit guide vane array for a turbine engine includes a set of guide vanes 28 having a solidity and defining fluid flow passages 74 with a chordwisely converging forward portion 80. The high solidity and convergent passage portion 80 resist fluid separation. The vanes may also cooperate with each other to restrict an observer's line of sight to planes upstream of the vane array.

Abstract: An apparatus for inspection of fluids having a fluid analysis cell with a cavity therein enclosed by two light transmitting windows and having a spacer member fixedly positioned therebetween which provides a fluid analysis chamber of fixed pathlength where fluid flows by the windows and preferably wherein the flow laminar and at a uniform shear to provide accurate color measurements. Light transmitting and receiving probes are positioned adjacent to the viewing windows and wherein the faces of each probe are contiguous and flush with the viewing windows but are separated from the flow by the viewing windows, so that transmission measurements can be taken orthogonal to the direction of flow. The apparatus is particularly useful in the manufacture of dispersions and tints used in the manufacture of paints, so that the color of material being made can be accurately matched to a standard color in the wet state with confidence that the color will match in the dry state.
