Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100122819Inserts with Swellable Elastomer Seals for Side Pocket Mandrels - Improved inserts for use in side pocket mandrels which include one or more annular sealing elements that are formed of an elastomeric material that swell in response to heat or fluid saturation. When the insert is emplaced within a side pocket mandrel, the swellable elastomer can then be swelled, using either heat or fluid saturation, to cause the sealing element(s) to expand and seal against the seal bore of the side pocket mandrel.05-20-2010

The setting device includes a coupling member configured to be coupled to an external latching device adapted to move the coupling member to cause the setting device to alter the flow of the fluid from the flow-through region to the selected level.07-28-2011
20110203805Valving Device and Method of Valving - A valving device includes a tubular having a wall including a passageway therethrough fluidically connecting an outside of the tubular with an inside of the tubular, a plug movable relative to the wall between a first position wherein the plug substantially prevents fluid flow through the passageway and a second position wherein the plug permits fluid flow through the passageway. At least one force failing member configured to maintain the plug in the first position until attainment of a selected force acts upon the plug, and movement of the plug is in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tubular yet non-coaxial with the tubular.08-25-2011

20080251298Portable Handheld Electronic Scale - A portable handheld electronic scale can weigh luggage and other objects. The scale includes an electronic weight-measuring device configured to measure and indicate the weight of the luggage. If the weight of the item of luggage exceeds the weight restriction of an airline, the traveler can reduce the weight of the item of luggage below the weight limit set by the airline by removing some of the contents of the item of luggage. Depending upon the particular embodiment of the scale, a user can comfortably hold the scale either parallel or perpendicular to the ground when the scale is used to lift the item of luggage off of a ground surface in order to obtain the weight of the item of luggage. An audible signal may be given when the measured weight is fixed on a display and/or when it is greater than a set limit.10-16-2008

20100260865VIRICIDAL COMPOSITION - A non-staining composition which is bactericidal, fungicidal and viricidal when applied, comprising in combination; an iodine free bactericide and/or fungicide having a residual efficacy lasting longer than 3 hours on surfaces against bacteria and fungi and a peroxide. A carrier may also be present. The bactericide and/or fungicide may be for example triclosan or a quaternary ammonium compound, or preferably a PVP-phenolic biocide complex (eg PVP-triclosan) or PVAIc/quaternary ammonium compound complex (eg PVP/benzalkonium chloride). The peroxide may be hydrogen peroxide.10-14-2010

20080260716Method and Composition for High Level Disinfection Employing Quaternary Ammonium Compounds - Methods and compositions for high level disinfection (as herein defined) of a surface. Methods include treating the surface with a composition including a quaternary ammonium compound in a concentration which exceeds 1% w/w and the temperature of treatment is in the range of from 30° C. to 80° C. A log (6) reduction in 10-23-2008
20100009884Low Foaming Cleaner - Liquid compositions for cleaning, in particular medical instruments and air conditioning surfaces, said composition excluding surfactants and comprising one or more enzymes including a protease and optionally a hydrolase, a solvent system including a water soluble glycol ether solvent, at least one anionic hydrotrope, and wherein the molar ratio of said at least one hydrotrope to said glycol ether in the composition is selected to preserve the activity of said one or more enzymes. The hydrotrope is advantageously an anionic hydrotrope selected from the group consisting of water soluble anionic hydrotropes of the formula (I) and having no alkyl side chain greater than six carbons in length, for example a xylene sulfonate or cumene sulfonate salt.01-14-2010

20090049627 - Disposable endoscope cleaning device and method, where the device comprises an elongate member, preferably a monofilament and a wiper, or plurality of wipers, formed from a resiliently deformable elastomeric material integrally moulded with the member. The elongate drives the typically disc shaped wiper axially along the lumen axial direction while the wiper remains oriented in a lumen radial plane from adjacent the axial direction to adjacent the lumen wall. The wiper prior has a diameter greater than said lumen internal diameter but is resiliently deformable, preferably not of uniform stiffness in the radial direction, so that it bends in the trailing direction at or near the lumen wall so that a peripheral margin of the wiper contacts the wall in a band extending through 360 degrees of arc. The device allows for cleaning of multiple lumens of differing diameters in an endoscope.02-26-2009
