An orbital tool assembly for forming rivet heads has a housing attached to a driven member rotatable upon a first axis, the housing having a bore along a second axis at an acute angle to the first axis. A head having an axis coincident with the second axis and including a fluid pressure chamber is retained within the housing with bearings interposed. A coaxial driver on the head has a plurality of bores parallel to the second axis in communication with the pressure chamber, and mounts a reciproc...

A trailer restraint positively restrains a trailer against a dock by means of the trailer ICC bar. The trailer restraint is self-aligning with an ICC bar located anywhere within its range of operation. The trailer restraint comprises a shoe that pivots on a trunnion shaft within a housing located under the trailer ICC bar. The trunnion shaft is slidable within the housing against a strong spring. A hydraulically operated slider advances to pivot the shoe until a working surface thereof contacts ...

A cash accounting and surveillance system for games, whereby operation of a number of player operated gaming devices may be monitored for purposes of detecting abnormal operation and/or cheating and for providing automatic accounting information for record keeping and pilferage detection purposes. The system utilizes a node concept with each node having a non-volatile data storage capability and a communications capability for communicating with each of a plurality of gaming devices coupled to t...

A plastic bag for collection of a human fluid specimen for chemical analysis and testing. The plastic bag includes a plurality of subcompartments for collecting a urine specimen and other biological specimens for analysis to ascertain the presence or controlled drug substances or other undesired chemicals or diseases. The plastic bag includes the features of a nonreusable plastic seal around each subcompartment containing redundant fluid specimens to enable a legally secure, reliable characteriz...

In a radiation emitting device, particularly in a radiation treatment device (2), the radiation treatment for an object (13) via a radiation beam (1) is determined. The field on the object to be irradiated is inputted and then divided up into sections (220-230). Plates or a collimator are arranged between a radiation source and an object (13) to provide an opening over one of sections (220). A radiation beam (1) is generated and used to treat one of sections (220) with radiation. This is repeate...

The invention concerns the collection of a biological fluid specimen. Both an apparatus and method of collection are described. The apparatus includes an optically transparent plastic bag having a sealable collection port. The bag may be sealed into at least two separate subcompartments. After sealing, the subcompartments are to contain substantially identical fluid specimens. The bag further includes a displaceable element for selectively dispensing and drawing fluid into the system.

An automated method of using a system for sampling and testing a fluid specimen including an analysis station comprising collecting the fluid specimen in a flexible container having an access port, piercing a housing of the access port, withdrawing the piercing element and allowing the fluid specimen to drain from the container.

A multicompartment system for accumulating a human fluid specimen for analysis having a plastic container for holding the specimen with the container having a port opening for receipt of the specimen, means for mechanically sealing the container including a sealable cap, a heat seal, or a plug, with the specimen therein wherein the seal is effected after receipt of the specimen and can include formation of more than one sealed compartment for subsequent separation and analysis and at least one o...

An automated system for sampling and testing a fluid specimen using an analysis station. The fluid specimen is collected in a flexible container having an access port. A piercing element pierces the access port and is withdrawn, allowing the fluid specimen to drain from the container. Subsequently, the container can be resealed.
