  • Patent number: 11707418
    Abstract: A connector for rotatably coupling an enteral feeding solution supply tube to a circular port of a gastrostomy device wherein the connector comprises a fluid conduit having a first end configured for connection with an orifice defined in the circular port to supply the enteral feeding solution to the gastrostomy device, and a second end configured for connection to the enteral feeding solution supply tube, a pair of arms circumferentially arranged around an outer wall of the first end of the fluid conduit, each arm including a first free end and a second free end, wherein the second free end includes a catch configured to releasably engage with a circumferential rim on the circular port, and a flexible bridge connecting each arm to the first end of the fluid conduit and about which the first and second ends of each arm can be pivoted, wherein the connector is couplable to and decouplable from the circular port by pivoting the first and second ends of each arm at the flexible bridge such that the catch on the

  • Publication number: 20140369899
    Abstract: A cooling system in an aftertreatment unit for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine is disclosed. The aftertreatment unit includes a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) module, an exhaust conduit portion, and a number of reductant injectors. Each reductant injector includes an injector coolant outlet. The cooling system supplies coolant to the reductant injectors by a coolant pump. A phase separation tank, positioned at a higher gravitational potential downstream of the reductant injectors, includes a number of compartments. Each compartment includes at least one inlet portion and at least one outlet portion. Each inlet portion is in fluid communication to the injector coolant outlet and each outlet portion is in fluid communication with the coolant reservoir. A coolant anti-siphon line portion facilitates fluid communication between the reductant injectors and the phase separation tank.
