Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling and monitoring pressurization data. The methods and systems advance beyond the prior art in their ability to convey pressurization data unambiguously. The methods and systems include a novel combination of visual cues and control features to insure that pressurization data may be analyzed accurately. For example, the visual cues and control features include changing the background color of the display area and providing a pressurization arrow to indicate pressurization or depressurization; a time showing the elapsed time of pressurization or depressurization; a pressurization number indicating the number of pressurization cycles that have occurred; software keys for making configuration choices; and text and graphic display modes. A touch interface may be provide for user interaction. To insure accurate pressure measurements, at least one pressure reference standard may also be utilized.

Abstract: An adjustable width rolled paper dispenser having a central adjustable locking rod captured between a pair of adjustable side brackets contained in the mounting base, the side brackets having locking channels to capture and secure the slotted ends of the adjustable locking rod, preventing the displacement of the adjustable locking rod from the side brackets when dispensing a segment of the rolled paper.

Abstract: A syringe apparatus for use with balloon-tipped catheters is disclosed having a pressure gauge and timer assembly. In one mode, the timer assembly displays the duration of a current event of inflation or deflation, and the duration of the most recent past event of inflation or deflation. In another mode, the timer assembly displays historical information showing the event number and duration of past events of inflation and deflation. The pressure gauge display and the timer assembly display are situated conveniently on the syringe assembly and in proximity to one another so as to enable a syringe operator to substantially simultaneously monitor durations of inflation and deflation without the need for an assistant, yet without requiring purchase or use of computerized monitors. In another mode, the timer assembly can be detached from the syringe assembly at the completion of an inflation procedure and then reused with another syringe assembly.

Abstract: A rotating storage device adapted to receive audio cassettes, compact discs and the containers associated therewith. The storage device comprises a support assembly and a storage drum, the drum including a plurality of slots or chambers for receiving the cassettes. The drum is releasably held by the support assembly for movement between a vehicle and a home for theft prevention. In addition, a drum in a support assembly in a home may be interchanged with a drum held in a vehicle or from vehicle to vehicle. The slots are oriented such that the cassettes are in a horizontal position to provide the cassettes in a natural reading position.
