20090139823 | Handlebar clutch-lever assist - Clutch lever assist for capturing and holding a motorcycle clutch lever in its clutch-disengaged position. The assist mounts on the handlebar and has a catch that pivots between a capture position and a release position. The motorcycle operator pulls the clutch lever in toward the clutch-disengaged position and uses a finger or thumb to urge the catch to its capture position. Once the clutch lever is captured, the operator may relax his grip. The catch will hold the clutch in its clutch-disengaged position. Pulling the clutch lever in toward the handlebar slightly, beyond the capture portion of the catch, releases the catch, which is spring-biased and automatically springs back to its release position. The clutch lever is now under operator control. A safety lock is provided optionally on the clutch lever assist, to lock the catch into the clutch-lever engaging position. | 06-04-2009 |

20110301569 | Methods and apparatus for the CVCS - The present invention provides an indirect method and accompanying apparatus for supplying a high concentration of medicaments, particularly antibiotics, to the nasal sinuses by first loading the medicament into the cerebrospinal venous system (CVCS) via a Valsalva manuever. Because the CVCS is a valveless, three-dimensional closed system, traditional physiological dogma such as veins always draining tissues does not always apply. Instead, because in its closed-system blood can flow in any direction, the blood of the CVCS and any medicaments that it contains will be drawn to any portion of it where there is increased outflow, such as the copious venous-derived sinus fluid drainage present during nasal allergy or nasal infection. Thus, the very nasal congestion that impedes the effectiveness of direct medicament application, such as seen with nasal inhalers or systemic antibiotics, aids in applying the medicament indirectly to the nasal sinuses via the CVCS. Additionally, the present method has the benefit of delivering medicaments that, unlike present treatment regimens, are not limited solely to those medicaments that can be successfully absorbed from the G.I. tract. This means that, in the case of antibiotics, the bacteria infecting this portion of the CVCS will not be as resistant to treatment if they have not had prior exposure to this new line of antibiotics. Finally, if the infection extends to the eardrums, making the Valsalva maneuver painful, or if the patient is simply unusually sensitive, then earplugs to reduce the stress on the eardrums may be worn while the patient performs the Valsalva maneuver. | 12-08-2011 |

20120012327 | Hydraulically Controlled Barrier Valve Equalizing System - A barrier valve has an equalizing feature for the ball or plug when in the closed position before it is opened. A hydraulic open and a close line are connected to a housing so that they can move a piston in opposed directions. The piston ends are sealed and the exterior of the piston is tapered to push one or more bypass valves open to connect tubing pressure across the ball when ramped off its seat.

20130327974 | Curved Flapper Seal with Stepped Intermediate Surface - A recess is provided at the periphery of the flapper so that a corner that defines this recess engages an o-ring seal in a seat for the flapper. A reduced contact area of the flapper on the o-ring seal results in increased pressure over the actual contact area. The pressure applied over the contact area also forces a distortion in the o-ring that has a part of the o-ring not restrained due to the presence of the recess moving out of the surrounding o-ring groove so that the corner on the flapper pinches the o-ring that now is partly in and partly extending from its surrounding groove. Sealing is obtained at lower differential pressures and the o-ring is better fixated as a result of the pinch effect of the corner on the flapper. | 12-12-2013 |
