A delivery apparatus for delivering various media, such as medical and/or pharmaceutical media or the like, from a delivery device, such as a syringe, in which the delivery pressure of the medium as it is dispensed from the delivery device is automatically maintained and regulated at a preselected level throughout delivery of the medium from the delivery apparatus. In one embodiment, the skin temperature of the patient is also sensed and the pressure of the medium being administered to the patie...

An integrated warehousing system for storing and retrieving goods as well as preparing the goods for their ultimate disposition is disclosed. The warehousing system includes numerous modular components that may be added to or subtracted from the system to accommodate a particular warehousing need. Inventoried goods placed in containers are stored on a rotational storage carousel, A plurality of work stations, each having an associated temporary storage queues are integrated with the carousel to ...

This invention provides smooth delivery and accurate positioning of prostheses in the body. In embodiments, systems are provided that include elongate members extending generally along the axis of a supporting catheter to a free ends. The elongate members extend through openings in the prosthesis to maintain the position of the prosthesis on the catheter. The prosthesis can be released from the catheter by relative axial motion of the catheter and the elongate members such that the free ends are...

A yarn delivery system including a trolley creel and a yarn guide apparatus. The trolley creel is made up of a plurality of independently moveable trolleys and each includes a set of rotatable yarn packages. When each trolley is moved into place, the yarn guide apparatus is vertically spaced therefrom. As yarns are drawn vertically from the creel, the yarn guide apparatus vertically guides them.

A device for delivering at least two fluids to be mixed to a mixing device with a drive with a coupling and with one feed pump for each fluid is proposed, in which the feed pumps (10) can be coupled individually to the drive (34). The feed pumps (10) with their housings can be mounted in such a way on a rotatable bracket (12) that their coupling ends point away from the center of rotation (14) of the bracket (12) in a star-like manner. In a device in which the drive has an additional coupling ru...

A beacon is placed at a specific location, such as a bus stop and has a local communicator which transmits a code to a mobile telephone. The code identifies a predetermined item of information stored on a remote server, such as a bus timetable document. This information is retrieved by the mobile telephone using its network communicator. The mobile telephone then transmits a copy of the information to the beacon which stores it in its cache and also displays the document to its user. A PDA, whic...

There is described a medicament delivery device which comprises a medicament reservoir, a medicament delivery passage and a metering member adapted to transfer a measured dose of medicament from the medicament reservoir to the delivery passage characterized in that the device is provided with a moisture proof barrier. The medicament delivery device is especially suited for use as an inhaler. There is therefore also described an inhaler which provides improved airflow for the dispersion of medica...

A delivery device, e.g. an inhaler, comprises a rotatable metering member adapted to dispense a measured amount of material, a material delivery passage and a material delivery orifice and at least one actuator member adapted to move the metering member form a material retaining position to a material dispensing position. In a magazine comprising a plurality of metering members, the actuator and metering members may operate in a radial direction. A plurality of rotatable magazines may be utilize...

A needleless syringe particle delivery system is provided. The needleless syringe has an elongate nozzle that is connected at its upstream end to a sealed chamber. The sealed chamber contains gas at super-atmospheric pressure and particles of a therapeutic agent. Upon release of the gas from the sealed chamber, a flow is formed which entrains the particles and allows the particles to pass through the nozzle at supersonic speed for subsequent delivery to a target surface.

Apparatus is disclosed for premixing air and fuel or carbureting air prior to introduction thereof into the primary zone of a combustor, said apparatus including a housing defining a spin chamber therein; the spin chamber is adapted to receive air and fuel and vaporize and/or atomize said fuel and deliver said air and fuel into said combustor as a vortical flow.
