| 20090140616 | TRASH COMPACTOR CABINET - The invention comprises a trash compactor cabinet formed from two panels of sheet metal. The panels are the same shape and are attached with one being inverted compared to the other along a V-shaped channel at one end of the panel. The panels have a V-shaped channel in the back side of the panel to form a passageway between shelves in the cabinet and the rear wall of the cabinet. A front portion of the panel is formed by a channel for attaching doors or door frames to the front of the cabinet. The cabinet can be formed by quickly and easily bending sheet metal into the panels and welding the panels together. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20120029271 | Tissue Stabilizing Device and Methods Including a Self-Expandable Head-Link Assembly - A tissue stabilizer including an elongated arm, a collet, and a head-link assembly. The collet is disposed at a distal end of the arm. The head-link assembly includes a tube and a spreading mechanism. The tube forms an intermediate section and opposing arms each terminating at a tip. The spreading mechanism can adjust a lateral distance between the tips, and includes first and second articulating members each having a leg and a collet interface body. The first member further includes a female hinge feature, whereas the second member includes a male hinge feature differing from the female hinge feature. The legs of are mounted to discrete regions of the tube, and the male hinge feature is pivotably coupled to the female hinge feature. Automatic spreading of a lateral distance between the tips occurs in response to a compressive force applied to the collet interface bodies. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20100211028 | CARDIOTOMY AND VENOUS BLOOD RESERVOIR AND METHOD - A cardiotomy and venous blood reservoir including a housing assembly, a downtube, and a bowl. The housing assembly forms a chamber. The downtube extends from an inlet port to a downstream end within the chamber. A diameter of the tube lumen increases to the downstream end. The bowl forms a floor surface shoulder, intermediate segment, and protrusion. The shoulder circumferentially surrounds, and is spatially above, the downstream end. The intermediate segment extends radially inwardly and downwardly from the shoulder to a bottom face. The protrusion extends radially inwardly and upwardly from the bottom face to a center that is aligned with the lumen and below the downstream end. The flared inner diameter of the lumen reduces fluid velocity as venous blood enters the reservoir. The bowl floor surface gently receives the incoming venous blood at the protrusion, and smoothly guides the blood flow. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100268148 | Cardiotomy and Venous Blood Reservoir and Method - A cardiotomy and venous blood reservoir, including a housing assembly, a venous inlet port, a venous sub-assembly, a cardiotomy inlet port, and a cardiotomy sub-assembly. The housing forms a chamber. The venous sub-assembly includes a downtube and a bowl. A diameter of the downtube lumen increases to a downstream end. The bowl forms a floor surface for receiving flow from the lumen. The cardiotomy sub-assembly includes a dish and an inner post. The dish defines an aperture. The inner post extends from the dish and forms a guide surface received within the central aperture and forming an undulating curvature increasing to a diameter greater than the diameter of the central aperture. Cardiotomy liquid drops from the dish fall on to the undulating, closely positioned guide surface with minimal splashing. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20090026290 | SPRAY GUN WITH PAINT CARTRIDGE - A spray paint gun having a disposable cartridge inserted therein such that paint can flow through the cartridge in the spray gun without touching the spray gun. Since no part of the spray gun has paint touching it, there is no cleaning of the spray gun or its components. The cartridges can be easily inserted into the spray gun and easily removed such that different color paints can be used in the spray gun in quick succession without down time for cleaning. There is no use of solvents for cleaning, making the cartridge spray gun environmentally friendly. The disposable cartridges eliminate expensive time consuming cleaning. The cartridges can be breach loaded into the front portion of a spray gun and front portion containing the cartridge can quickly snapped into place and ready for use by a hinged connection to the rear portion or by other connection means. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20110024524 | DISPOSABLE SPRAY GUN CARTRIDGE - A disposable cartridge assembly for use with a paint spray gun is disclosed, being made out of an inexpensive material, such as plastic, wherein the paint flows into the cartridge assembly and is sucked out of the tip of the cartridge assembly by the force of pressurized air flowing around the cartridge assembly and past the cartridge assembly fluid spray tip opening, thereby atomizing the paint, allowing for an even application of the paint onto a working surface, such as an automobile body. The inexpensive material allows the cartridge to be disposed of after use, rather than cleaned. Further, keeping the paint within the cartridge assembly and away from any inner workings of the paint spray gun reduces or eliminates the need to clean the spray gun after use. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110168811 | Spray Gun With Paint Cartridge - A spray paint gun having a disposable cartridge inserted therein such that paint can flow through the cartridge in the spray gun without touching the spray gun. Since no part of the spray gun has paint touching it, there is no cleaning of the spray gun or its components. The cartridges can be easily inserted into the spray gun and easily removed such that different color paints can be used in the spray gun in quick succession without down time for cleaning. There is no use of solvents for cleaning, making the cartridge spray gun environmentally friendly. The disposable cartridges eliminate expensive time consuming cleaning. The cartridges can be breach loaded into the front portion of a spray gun and front portion containing the cartridge can quickly snapped into place and ready for use by a hinged connection to the rear portion or by other connection means. The cartridge may include an integrally formed or otherwise attached gasket member to perfect an airtight seal at a joint in the air passage leading from the gun's handle portion to its spray nozzle. | 07-14-2011 |
