Abstract: An applicator for dispensing adhesive material includes a quenched foam material, provided so that the adhesive material comes in contact with the quenched foam material. Thus, polymerization of the adhesive material is initiated in the absence of additional polymerization initiators. In addition, the applicator is configured to permit improved control and economy in application of the adhesive.

Abstract: An article of manufacture for dispensing a liquid adhesive includes an applicator body, a liquid adhesive contained within the applicator body, a porous applicator tip attached to the applicator body and in a non-contacting relationship with the liquid adhesive, and a polymerization initiator or rate modifier loaded in or on the applicator tip, wherein the polymerization initiator or rate modifier is selected from quaternary ammonium salts and tertiary amines. The liquid adhesive can also include a phase transfer catalyst.

Abstract: A wideband radio receiver utilizes a plurality of frequency domain samplers to process an input signal. Each of the frequency domain samplers includes a sweep frequency oscillator and a mixer for combining the input signal with the sweep signal. The output of the mixer is passed through a frequency weighting filter to a dispersive delay line. The output of the dispersive delay line is digitized to produce I and Q channel digital outputs. Digital outputs from each of the frequency domain samplers are compensated for time and amplitude and then stored in a random access memory. A signal detection processor examines the outputs of the frequency domain samplers to detect the presence of a signal within the input signal. When a particular signal is detected, a data access circuit is commanded to read the stored digital outputs which correspond to the intercept bandwidth cell for the detected signal.

Abstract: An electrode and connector are detachably connected to one another for use in defibrillating or pacing a patient's heart. The connector includes two jaw members which clamp over a tab portion of the electrode. The jaw members include electrical contacts which engage and contact the conductive sheet within the electrode. This provides electrical continuity from the electrode through the connector to a lead wire.
