42469031, Jan 27, 1981

Filed:

Apr 2, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/026614

Inventors:

Joseph F. Larkin - Holland PA

Assignee:

American Cyanamid Company - Stamford CT

International Classification:

A61B 1712

US Classification:

128325

Abstract:

The surgical instrument comprises a single housing having a barrel and handle. The barrel contains jaws to maintain a hemostatic clip, and a jaw wedge. When actuated by the jaw wedge, the jaws operate in a "scissors action" to compress the hemostatic clip onto the vessel. The barrel portion also contains a feed bar and magazine tape. The magazine tape contains a plurality of hemostatic clips. On retraction, the jaw wedge coordinates with the feed bar and magazine tape to deliver a new clip to the jaws. The jaw wedge is actuated by a trigger pivotally mounted to the handle.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A scribing machine and method in which the fiber end projecting from a connector or other fiber holder is scribed and severed with a smooth, flat face having a mirror surface at a perpendicular angle to the fiber axis and at the precise length desired for the selected end use. The machine imparts a first preselected level of tension to the fiber during the scribing operation and a second preselected level of tension during the severing operation. The first level is below the tension needed to propagate a crack across the body of the fiber and the second level is above that level. The scribing operation is effected by a tool which is effective to score the surface of the fiber to generate a flaw during the scribing operation, and is withdrawn from engagement with the fiber during the severing operation so that the fiber is suspended without interference as the crack propagates from the flaw across its body.

Abstract:

A digital tuning element and method of making same for an electronic tuning means for an automobile radio which has a drive means for positioning said element, detecting means providing an electrical output signal related to the position of said tuning element, and means receiving the output signal for controlling a tuning circuit. The tuning element is a body which is angularly positionable and includes a coding means on its surface, with the detecting means sensing the coding means for providing binary coded output signals over a plurality of output channels to a receiving means for controlling a tuning circuit.

Appl. No.:

6/026253

Inventors:

Joseph F. Larkin - Holland PA

Assignee:

American Cyanamid Company - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B65D 8524

US Classification:

206339

Abstract:

A magazine tape is described comprising a flat flexible belt and a plurality of units attached to the belt. Each unit contains a hemostatic clip. Each unit consists of, in succession, a parallel aligned pair of: leading tabs; side retaining tabs and apex retaining tabs; and feeding and positioning tabs. The retaining tabs contain a groove adjacent the sides of the belt to accomodate the sides of a hemostatic clip. The apex retaining tabs have a contour about equal to the clip apex contour. The feeding and positioning tabs have flanged upper portions parallel with the longitudinal direction of the belt and extending away from the apex retaining tabs. The flanged portions decrease in thickness away from the feeding and positioning tabs.

US Classification:

350 9621

Abstract:

A connector for interconnecting two conductors comprises a plug component for mating engagement with a receptacle component. The plug component has a conductor means therein and a first elastomeric sealing membrance covering the mating end thereof to seal the same, the sealing membrane having a slit therein. The receptacle component includes conductor receiving means therein and a second elastomeric sealing membrane covering the mating end thereof to seal the same. The second sealing membrane also has a slit therein, the slits in each of the sealing membranes being positioned to register upon mating engagement of the plug and receptacle components. The connector further includes displacement means operable upon the mating engagement of the plug and receptacle components to stretch the first and second sealing membranes in a direction transverse to the slits to open the slits to permit the passage of the conductor means therethrough during engagement and disengagement of the components. The displacement means is also operable upon disengagement of the components to relax the first and second sealing membranes to close the slits.
