As the piston assembly moves, a spring holder of the W-shaped spring also moves to the one direction. As the W-shaped spring is compressed over and passed the most compressed position, the W-shaped spring moves a valve assembly in the air chamber to an opposite direction (e.g. left) and blocks a hole in a spool that otherwise allows air to pass through the air chamber to activate the pump. When the air is stopped, this turns off the pump. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20090139522 | Monitor for automatic resuscitator with optional gas flow control - The present invention pertains generally to a monitoring system for a resuscitator which detects operation of the resuscitator and includes means for informing an operator of function. The monitoring system is triggered by a pressure signal provided by the cycling of the automatic resuscitator from a controlled inhalation phase to a controlled exhalation phase. The monitoring aspect of the system detects specifically a single point low pressure signals which are sequentially compared against an integrated time clock. Failure of the resuscitator system itself to generate a low pressure signal against the integrated time clock causes an alarm condition. Further, gas management is optionally effected by a flow controller integrated into the monitor, a gas management system which responds to the single point low pressure signal and operate a gas valve attached between a gas supply and an automatic resuscitator such that gas is allowed to flow to the resuscitator when the resuscitator is in an inhalation mode and gas flow is interrupted when the resuscitator is in an exhalation mode. The monitoring system includes a low threshold pressure sensor which is actuated by means of a recurrent low pressure pulse generated by the automatic resuscitator itself through the cycling of the resuscitator and remains essentially unaffected by the respiratory cycling of the patient, thus preventing false triggers and greatly simplifying the flow controller operation and format. The low threshold pressure sensor is coupled to a processor wherein the processor reads the occurrence of a pressure event at the pressure sensor and which then closes the gas supply valve and starts a clock. Once the clock reaches a pre-defined duration, the gas supply valve is reopened, the automatic resuscitator continues into an inhalation mode, and the process repeats. | 06-04-2009 |

In addition, expression cassettes are provided comprising a promoter operably linked to a ribozyme or antisense nucleic acid molecule which, when transcribed in vivo, stimulates apoptosis. Finally, gene delivery vectors are provided which contain such expression cassettes, host cells containing the gene delivery vectors, and methods of utilizing the expression cassettes, gene delivery vectors, and host cells. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20100302674 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR STABILIZING SLIDER FLYING HEIGHT OVER A DISCRETE TRACK MEDIA DISK SURFACE IN A HARD DISK DRIVE - This application discloses a hard disk drive and a disk employing Discrete Tracks each including a land with a groove at a first depth with sectors of each track separated by servo pattern wedges with a variable second land and a variable second groove possessing widths and a second depth for the grooves differing from the first widths and depth of the groove of the sectors. The second depth optimizes the stability of the flying height of a slider over both sectors and servo pattern wedges, removing the possibility of added vibrational modes adversely affecting the slider's normal operations of reading, writing and flying above the disk surface. This also discloses the disks and their manufacture of disk surfaces with these sector zones and servo pattern wedges. | 12-02-2010 |
