US Patent:

47872225, Nov 29, 1988

Filed:

Nov 24, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/933994

Inventors:

Carlos A. Irazoqui - New York NY
John G. Gorman - New York NY

Assignee:

Novatek Medical Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

E05B 6500
E05B 3700

US Classification:

70 57

Abstract:

A system is disclosed for positive identification between a patient and a blood unit to be administered to the patient incorporating a combination lock which positively prevents access to the blood unit unless its code matches that of the patient. An alphabetic code is assigned to the patient and is set into the combination lock at the time the blood unit is removed from the blood bank. Setting of the code is achieved by the technician without necessity of external tools or mechanical skill. The combination lock has several alphabetic coded indicia dials which may be set at any orientation with respect to several locking rings. Once the combination is set, a manual clamping force exerted on the structure serves to lock the indicia rings to the associated locking ring to set the code.

International Classification:

F21V 3100

US Classification:

362 84

Abstract:

An illuminated diving rod for use in areas or conditions of zero or low visibility, comprising a transparent tubular rod member with an angled distal tip at one end, the tip being angled from the central longitudinal axis of the rod member from about 30. degree. to about 45. degree. A handle assembly comprising a housing, a power source mounted in the housing, a switch strip mounted in the housing and moveable bulb and reflector seat moveably mounted in the housing is secured to the opposite end of the rod member. A cover member is threadably mounted to the housing and encases and engages the bulb and reflector seat. The rod member is mounted to and secured on the cover member at its proximal end, the rod member being constructed of a high impact strength clear plastic of high light transmissivity with a central positioned light transmitting material disposed substantially along its entire length, the transparent rod member upon activation of the power source and during zero or low visibility projecting a diffused beam of light toward objects which require illumination for sighting and engagement with the angled tip.

Appl. No.:

7/793460

Inventors:

John G. Gorman - New York NY

Assignee:

Novatek Medical Inc.

International Classification:

G06K 500

US Classification:

235375

Abstract:

A system which requires scanning of identification means associated with a patient and a proposed treatment in order to determine a code necessary to open or render operational a treatment means is disclosed. Because the necessary code is only displayed if the patient and treatment means have been scanned and the information has been audited to verify that it is correct and complete and has been automatically recorded in the scanner's memory, the system ensures that a record of the transaction is made and that only the proper patient is given a particular treatment.

International Classification:

C12N 15/10

US Classification:

422527

Abstract:

An apparatus for purifying nucleic acid can include a disposable cartridge having a layered configuration, and a disposable syringe for coupling to the disposable cartridge such that a fluid can be delivered to or withdrawn fluid from the disposable cartridge using the syringe. At least one layer of the disposable cartridge can include a cut-out for forming a functional unit of the disposable cartridge, and at least one layer of the disposable cartridge can be joined to an adjacent layer of the disposable cartridge by an adhesive material layer. The functional unit can include a fluid channel between an access port on the first surface of the disposable cartridge and the fluid pouch. The apparatus can include a disposable silica-containing material for binding with the nucleic acid. The apparatus can include a heating element and a temperature sensor for heating the disposable silica-containing material.
