Patent number: 10076468Abstract: The present invention is a bracelet that contains a cartridge holding a plurality of interior storage compartments that are each designed to hold one or more pills. A sliding door is used to withdraw the pills from any one compartment at a time. The bracelet comprises electronic components that enable it to activate a vibrating alarm at a prearranged time to remind the user to take her pills, and to track when the door has been opened to withdraw the pills, and to communicate the alarm and tracking information to an external electronic device, such as a mobile phone, via Bluetooth wireless communication.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2017Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Inventors: Malena Danielle Ohl, Wesley Victor Wilson, Margaret Davis Schoening, Andreas Loeve Selvik, Seunghyuk Noh

Patent number: 6575960Abstract: A bleed back control assembly and method-for controlling blood loss during catheterization procedures includes a side arm body connected at the proximal end to a seal body. The side arm body comprises one or more branches, each having a lumen, and a finger rest on the exterior of at least one branch. The seal body comprises a cap assembly and a seal assembly. The seal assembly comprises a clamp seal and a bleed back seal, both made of elastomer and held by a seal holder. The cap assembly comprises a threaded cap and a funnel cap. The threaded cap is connected to the seal holder. Rotation of the threaded cap causes the clamp seal to open or close. The funnel cap comprises a dilator, and pressing the funnel cap causes the dilator to open an aperture in the bleed back control seal.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventors: Neil M. Becker, Kenneth K. Armstrong, Duncan Clarke, William P. Colvan, Paul Haldeman, Charles R. Peterson, Albert A. Quinones, Gary Thompson, Bruce Wilson, Victor Wilson, LaShun D. Tarver

The funnel cap comprises a dilator, and pressing the funnel cap causes the dilator to open an aperture in the bleed back control seal. A spring, wound around the dilator, returns the funnel cap to its original position, thus closing the bleed back seal. The bleed back seal self-sizes to devices introduced through its aperture.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Assignee: Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.Inventors: Neil M.

Patent number: 5464579Abstract: An injection mold for use with a molding press has four mold levels in axially stacked relation, permitting a substantial doubling of output for a given size of press as compared with a back-to-back two level stacked mold. The mold feeder flow path extends axially from the injector head to a flow distribution block located at the centre of the stacked mold block series. The centrally located distribution block is connected, in sealed relation with the injector head, being axially displaceable therefrom in continuing sealed relation upon the opening of the mold. A drool prevention valve system, located at two of the mold interfaces, to preclude drooling of fluid plastic stock upon opening of the molds includes pressure fluid actuators for operating the valves, wherein the pressure fluid may comprise the fluid plastic stock.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1995Date of Patent: November 7, 1995Inventors: David Brown, Harald Gaul, Yosif Kushnir, Nick Travaglini, Victor Wilson

The mold feeder flow path extends axially from the injector head to a flow distribution block located at the center of the stacked mold block series. The centrally located distribution block is connected, in use isolation, sealed relation with the injector head, being axially displaceable therefrom in continuing sealed relation upon the opening of the mold. A drool prevention valve system, located at two of the mold interfaces, to preclude drooling of fluid plastic stock upon opening of the molds includes pressure fluid actuators for operating the valves, wherein the pressure fluid may comprise the fluid plastic stock.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1990Date of Patent: July 20, 1993Inventors: David Brown, Harald Gaul, Yosif Kushnir, Nick Travaglini, Victor Wilson

Patent number: 4166167Abstract: Gas-phase polymerization of an .alpha.-olefin, especially propylene, in a stirred or fluidized bed of substantially uniform and approximately spherical carrier particles of an .alpha.-olefin polymer of diameter 100-500 .mu.m, using a catalyst comprising an organo-metallic compound and a solid transition metal compound which has a particle size of less than 5 .mu.m, produces a propylene polymer having unexpectedly good powder flow characteristics. The transition metal compound is conveniently a titanium trichloride-containing material which has been treated with a dialkyl ether solution.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1977Date of Patent: August 28, 1979Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries LimitedInventors: Ashley D.
