An axially concentric rigid stationary outlet tube is secured to the housing and extends through the separation assembly to the sump. The separation assembly is attached to and positioned above the concentration assembly to form a combined separator-concentrator assemblage that is rotatable about the outlet tube. The separation assembly includes a separation chamber lined with a depth filter having pores and passageways that are sized to receive and entrap erythrocytes during centrifuging. The concentration chamber has a floor for supporting desiccated beads and a wall with at least one opening closed with a screen. The concentrator can have a distribution of upright screen supports, the upright screen supports having an inner surface and an outer surface, the cylindrical screen being supported on the outer surface of the upright screen supports. A stationary bead rake can be secured to the stationary tube and extend outward therefrom, the rake having distal ends that are spaced at a distance from the upright screen supports. The rake can comprise a longitudinal body, the center of which is secured to the rigid outlet tube. The separator-concentrator includes a valve assembly connecting the separation chamber and the concentration chamber. PRP concentrate is produced by contacting PRP with desiccated beads while the beads are stirred with a stationary rake, and rotating the concentration chamber at centrifugal speeds to separate PRP concentrate from the beads.

A medical valve transitions between an open mode that permits fluid flow, and a closed mode that prevents fluid flow. To that end, the valve has a housing with an inlet and an outlet, and actuator moveable distally within the housing. The medical valve also has a resilient member with an aperture. The distal movement of the actuator opens the aperture within the resilient member, thereby transitioning the medical valve from the open to the closed mode.

Mechanisms and techniques provide a system for performing messaging between a message server and a message client. Embodiments operate to receive a first message to be sent to a messaging client and establish a first connection to the messaging client. The system then transmits a message processing script and the first message over the first connection to the messaging client. The message processing script enables the messaging client to display the first message and to receive and display at least one second message over the first connection to the messaging client. The system maintains the first connection in an open state after transmitting the first message to the messaging client. The system then receives a second message to be sent to the messaging client and transmits the second message over the first connection to the messaging client for receipt by the message processing script, while continuing to maintain the first connection in an open state. This can be repeated for subsequent messages using the same connection.

A female element of a quick connection for removably joining two pipes through which a fluid passes wherein the element includes a body defining a housing for receiving a portion of a male endpiece. A retaining device is operable to selectively retain the endpiece in fitted configuration in the female element and includes a push-button which carries a lock for selectively locking the endpiece in the housing or for preventing the introduction of the endpiece in the housing.

A device for preventing closure of a surgically created resection cavity within tissues of the body comprises an insertion member having a distal end for insertion into a surgically created resection cavity and a proximal end which remains outside the resection cavity and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends and an inflatable member deployable from the distal end of the insertion member, an inner chamber of the inflatable member being fluidly coupled to the lumen to receive an inflation fluid therefrom so that, when the inflation fluid is supplied to the inflatable member, the inflatable member expands so that an outer surface of the inflatable member contacts the surrounding tissue and moves the surrounding tissue out of the resection cavity. A method of treating tissue surrounding a surgically created resection cavity, comprises the steps of, after a portion of tissue has been surgically removed to create a resection cavity, inserting a distal end of a catheter into the resection cavity and deploying an inflatable element at a desired location within the resection cavity from a distal portion of the catheter in combination with the steps of inflating the inflatable element to contact inner surfaces of the resection cavity and maintain tissue surrounding the resection cavity in a position substantially corresponding to a position of the tissue prior to the creation of the resection cavity to prevent closure of the resection cavity by healing processes during a recovery period and, after the recovery period, treating the tissue surrounding the resection cavity.

A bite-block device for preventing biting of air tubes, such as laryngeal mask airway (LMA) tubes by human teeth is disclosed. The device is composed of a generally cylindrical body, fabricated from a biologically compatible polymer. A hole is present through the long axis of the body. The device also extends in a plane perpendicular to the long axis of the body. Attached to this plane is a coupling device intended for securing an LMA tube to the bite-block. The bite-block is positioned within a patient's mouth against the cheek, with the plane perpendicular to the long axis pressed against the lip. Deployed in this fashion, the bite block engages the molars, bicuspids, and cuspids, preventing contact of the teeth with an LMA tube.

An air conditioning seat includes a seat pad having a seating portion and a side support portion, blowing means for blowing air to an air path formed at the seat pad, a seat cover covering the seat pad, and a net-like cushion member capable of permeating air in a thickness direction and in a plane direction. An air path is formed at the seating portion of the seat pad. A hanging groove in a groove-like shape is recessed and on a boundary line of the seating portion and the side support portion. The an air blow out port of the air path is covered by the net-like cushion member. A communicating path reaching the net-like cushion member of the side support portion from the air path of the seating portion is formed by passing a back side of the hanging member at inside of the hanging groove.

A vehicle door system includes a vehicle door and electrically-powered linear and rotary actuators. The vehicle door system also includes a pinch sensor. Upon receiving an open door command, a controller actuates the linear actuator and then actuates the rotary actuator to open the door. The controller also actuates the linear actuator to prevent closing of the door if the pinch-sensor detects an object in a door opening. The controller actuates the rotary actuator to close the door upon receiving a close door command.

A vehicle includes a body and front and rear doors having front and rear powered latches, front and rear anti-pinch sensors, and front and rear electrically-powered door openers. The vehicle further includes a controller that is configured to receive an unlatch signal from unlatch sensors/switches and generate a signal to unlatch the front and rear powered latches and actuate the front and rear door openers after the front and rear powered latches are unlatched. The controller may also be configured to actuate the rear door opener to retain the rear door in an open position when the front pinch sensor detects a hand to thereby prevent pinching.

Embodiments of the invention provide an application program closing method and device as well as electronic equipment. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining the current running parameters of the current running application programs; determining the application programs, the current running parameters of which satisfy a preset parameter condition as application programs to be closed; and closing the application program resident services of the application programs to be closed and ending all the progresses of the application programs to be closed. According to the method, the application programs to be closed are automatically determined according to the running parameters of the application programs, so that the determined application programs more accord with the closing demands of the users; through closing the application program resident services of the application programs to be closed and ending all the progresses of the application programs to be closed, the aim of thoroughly closing the application programs is achieved, and the closed application programs can be prevented from being automatically restarted under the condition that the users do not start initiatively so that the closed application programs cannot sequentially occupy the system resources and consume the electric energy.

An implanted system for treating sinusitis or allergic rhinitis is provided, wherein the implanted system has a circumferentially extending wall formed of a biodegradable polymer, and the wall includes a plurality of interspaces, with biodegradable fiber bundles containing drugs interspersed in the interspaces. The implanted system formed of the biodegradable polymer can provide a sufficient normal force perpendicular to the external surface during a compression, and prevent the supported channel from being closed after the release in a location for the implantation (a location of pathological changes or ostium of the sinus). The implanted system formed of the biodegradable polymer has an axial internal bore to guarantee the aeration for the nasal cavity after the implantation. The implanted system formed of the biodegradable polymer can be naturally degraded in the nasal cavity. Compared with prior stents which cannot directly contact with certain locations of pathological changes, the biodegradable fiber bundles containing drugs carried on the implanted system can reach those locations of pathological changes to optimize the therapeutic effect.
