| 20080234680 | INTERLOCK FOR DYNAMIC BONE FIXATION PLATES - Individual plate sections of a dynamic bone fixation plate can be internally interlocked to maintain the assembled plate and to limit relative motion between the sections. A dynamic bone fixation plate can include a first plate section, a second plate section, and a compressible interlock member. The first plate section includes a first joint structure and the second plate section includes a second joint structure, where the second joint structure can be dynamically mated with the first joint structure. The compressible interlock member can be disposed within the first joint structure and the second joint structure to limit relative motion of the first joint structure and the second joint structure. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20100101654 | GAS FLOW DEVICE - A gas regulator includes a housing and a pressure regulator positioned within the housing along a first axis for controlling the pressure of gas received from a pressurized source. A flow meter controls the flow rate of the gas received from the pressure regulator. The flow meter is positioned relative to the housing along a second axis, transverse to the first axis. An outlet nozzle member has a nozzle stem and is positioned along the first axis. The outlet nozzle member receives the gas from the flow meter and delivers the gas through the nozzle stem. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100108068 | HYBRID ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC CONSERVER FOR OXYGEN CONSERVING REGULATOR - A gas regulator includes a slave valve assembly for receiving and controlling the flow of gas to a desired destination. A timing chamber is positioned adjacent to the slave valve assembly. The timing chamber has an inlet for also receiving the gas. An electronically operated pilot valve assembly is in communication with the timing chamber for operating the slave valve assembly. When the pilot valve assembly is closed, gas pressure within the timing chamber acting on the slave valve assembly closes the slave valve assembly. When the pilot valve assembly is open, gas exits the timing chamber and reduces the gas pressure in the timing chamber, thereby allowing the slave valve assembly to open and deliver the gas to the desired destination. | 05-06-2010 |
