Filed:

Apr 8, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/102041

Inventors:

Edward A. Eikman - Tampa FL, US

International Classification:

H05B 33/00

US Classification:

2504845, 25037009

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods for screening inanimate objects for detecting concealed radioactive substances. The apparatus and method use a combination of at least one gamma-emission detector and the generation of a transmission image to non-invasively evaluate the contents of an inanimate object, such as a container, in order to determine the presence of absence of a radioactive substance. A variety of configurations of gamma-emission detectors and transmission detectors may be used to rapidly scan objects for the presence or absence of a radioactive substance.

US Classification:

606203

Abstract:

A disposable tourniquet and its method of use is disclosed. The tourniquet is in the form of a band formed of a thin flexible, non-stretchable material and has releasable securable means, e.g., a pressure sensitive adhesive. The tourniquet is arranged to be wrapped around the patient's limb, tightened and locked in place to reduce circulation. The tourniquet has means for controlling the amount of tension applied to the band when it is tightened about the limb of the patient, means for indicating the amount of tension applied. Means for indicating the ambient temperature at the patient's limb on which the tourniquet is used may be included in the tourniquet. The tourniquet may also include means to enable it to be folded into a compact configuration. Plural tourniquets can be provided in the form of a stack.

Inventors:

Edward A. Eikman - Tampa FL

International Classification:

C12Q 124

US Classification:

435 34

Abstract:

In a system for monitoring fluid for microbial contamination, successive samples of the fluid to be monitored are aseptically directed periodically to a growth medium. A detector detects gaseous metabolic products evolving from the growth medium to provide an indication of incipient contamination of the fluid being monitored.

Abstract:

A disposable tourniquet and its method of use is disclosed. The tourniquet is in the form of a band formed of a thin flexible, non-stretchable material and is arranged to be wrapped around the patient's limb, tightened and locked in place to reduce circulation. The tourniquet includes a removable portion which includes indicia bearing information, e.g., instructions for use, promotional materials, etc. The removable portion may be in the form of an envelope or pouch for holding some item therein. The removable portion may form a tearable portion of the band or may comprise a panel or patch adhesively secured to the band. The tourniquet also may include at least one usage-evidencing seal.
