20110077605PUMP SYSTEM FOR NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY - A pump system for applying negative pressure to a wound, including a flow monitor capable of detecting a deviation from a reference airflow rate provided by a controlled leak to determine whether the system is operating normally or abnormally, and a flow status annunciator to indicate a normal operating condition or whether an abnormal condition is a leak or an occluded line in the system. The pump system further includes a pressure controller for regulating operation of a pump to control pressure in the system at a range around a user-selected setpoint. The pump system may also include a waste collector and a level sensor for detecting when the collector is full.03-31-2011

20090005744SYSTEM FOR TREATING A WOUND WITH SUCTION AND METHOD OF DETECTING LOSS OF SUCTION - A system for applying suction to a wound uses a reference airflow for monitoring system operation. A reference airflow (or “controlled leak”) to the suction source is provided when the system is in operation, such that deviation from the reference airflow can be monitored as an indication of a change in operation, such as a leak in the seal of the wound cover, a blockage of airflow from crimping of the suction conduit or overfill of the waste collector, or an inadvertent turn off or disconnect from the suction source.01-01-2009

20120076352METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC SPEED CONTROL ON A MAIL PROCESSING SYSTEM - The present application relates to a mail processing system and related method containing dynamic speed control which uses real time and historical system parameters to dynamically control the cycle speed of an inserting or wrapping system to optimize system efficiency, and maximize throughput and performance. A document processing system with dynamic speed control analyzes system parameters. When the operational conditions are favorable the system will increase cycle speed of one or more of the mail processing components of the system in increments until an optimal speed is reached. Likewise, if conditions are unfavorable the system will decrease cycle speed of one or more of the mail processing components of the system in increments until an optimal speed is reached.03-29-2012

20080284184Consumer Post Hole Digger - This invention provides a post hole digger having a first, traverse pivot point, located on the lower section of two handle members, and a second, blade assembly pivot point located at the medial point of the blade assemblies. Because the first pivot point is a traverse pivot point, the handle members are only required to travel through a limited range of motion. Additionally, the second, blade assembly pivot point is preferably an offset pivot point. Thus, because the second, blade assembly pivot point is disposed at a medial point of the blade assemblies, the motion of the handle members, which are coupled to the upper ends of the blade assemblies, is reversed relative to the lower ends of the blade members.11-20-2008
20090189401Post Hole Digger - This invention provides a post hole digger having a first, traverse pivot point, located on the medial portions of two handle members, and a second, blade assembly pivot point located at the medial point of the blade assemblies. Because the first pivot point is a traverse pivot point, the handle members are only required to travel through a limited range of motion. Additionally, the second, blade assembly pivot point is preferably an offset pivot point. Thus, because the second, blade assembly pivot point is disposed at a medial point of the blade assemblies, the motion of the handle members, which are coupled to the upper ends of the blade assemblies, is reversed relative to the lower ends of the blade members.07-30-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080208651LEAD DISBURSEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method includes associating a lead with a subset of participants from a plurality of participants. The associating is performed based on a criteria list. A priority is determined for each participant from the subset of participants. A capacity coefficient is determined for each participant from the subset of participants. The lead is exclusively assigned to a participant from the subset of participants based on the priority for the participant and the capacity coefficient for the participant.08-28-2008

20080249477PEN INJECTOR HAVING A NEEDLE SHIELD - A pen injector includes a vial cartridge and a generally tubular body that surrounds the vial cartridge. A needle shield assembly is removably mounted to a mounting end of the body and includes a hollow needle that has a tip for injecting into a patient. A needle hub at least partially surrounds the hollow needle and a slideable sleeve is slideably mounted on the needle hub. The needle hub has an outer surface which deflects the slideable sleeve as the slideable sleeve slides toward a receiving end of the needle hub and into a retracted position. The slideable sleeve bears resiliently on the outer surface of the needle hub during sliding movement of the slideable sleeve relative to the needle hub toward the retracted position such that a restoring force is generated for urging the slideable sleeve to move toward an injection end of the needle hub and into an extended position in which the tip of the needle is located completely inside of the slideable sleeve.10-09-2008
20090118676SAFETY NEEDLE - A packing sleeve for use with a safety needle that automatically covers a tip of a needle following removal of the needle from a patient includes a generally hollow body having a longitudinal axis and a distal end and an open proximal end. The body surrounds at least a portion of the safety needle and has at least one track having an activation leg and a releasing leg. The at least one track is in sliding engagement with at least one member of the safety needle such that the motion of a portion of the safety needle relative to the body is dictated by a path the at least one member follows along the respective at least one track. The safety needle is in an initial position when the at least one member is proximate a first end of the activation leg and in an intermediate position when the at least one member is proximate a second end of the activation leg. The releasing leg extends from the second end of the activation leg and allows the at least one member to be slid toward and then removed from the proximal end of the body.05-07-2009
