Disclosed is a transportable vessel for use in a factory for processing molten metal. The vessel is not connected to a reverbatory furnace and can be moved to different locations in the factory. The vessel includes a transfer conduit in communication with a cavity of the vessel. A molten metal pump can be positioned in the transfer conduit to move molten metal out of an outlet in communication with the transfer conduit and into another vessel without the need to tip or tilt the transportable vessel.

There is provided a system and methods for mitigation of the potential dangers to which at least a child, and passengers, are exposed to prior to, during travel and after travel, when outside and adjacent a vehicle. Potential dangers to which a child is exposed are risks associated with driving and non-driving behavior of the driver, when the child is inside and outside the vehicle, when the vehicle is driven on public roads and on private property grounds, and as a result of deficient of mistaken operation of child and passenger related devices. The system and methods require input commands into an indicator to operate equipment elements aboard the vehicle, including sensors, operable devices and alert systems, and are operative for communication with remote stations, with adjacent-driven vehicles, and with the vehicle owner.

A collapsing and securing device of a lateral blind includes a lateral blind such as a winding blind, a Roman blind, or a cloth blind, and a number of positioning members fixed at least on one surface of the window curtain, and the positioning members can temporarily adhere, stick or attract each other to secure the lateral blind at one of many collapsed position in case the lateral blind is manually wound up, without using pull ropes with a pool as used in a conventional lateral blind for preventing potential dangers involved in conventional lateral blinds. The collapsed lateral blind can be expanded down manually with easiness and quickness, with the temporarily adhered, stuck or attracted together positioning members separated from one another with easiness.

A portable hemodialysis system is provided including a disposable cartridge and a reused dialysis machine. The disposable cartridge includes a dialysate flow path and a blood flow path which flow in opposite directions through a dialyzer. The disposable cartridge includes a filter for removing waste products from the dialysate. The reused dialysis machine possesses a reservoir for dialysate, various sensors including a reservoir level sensor assembly, and a processor connected to the various sensors for controlling and monitoring hemodialysis treatment. The reservoir level sensor assembly includes a vertically extending electrode array for transmitting electrical signals to the processor detecting whether the reservoir possesses sufficient dialysate for therapy, and for detecting whether there is a fault condition during therapy such as a loss of dialysate in the reservoir or an increase in fluid in the reservoir which may indicate a failure in the dialysis membrane.

A cabinet safety device has a fixing base neighboring a side of the cabinet, a slide base mounted on the fixing base, lock members provided that can hook on both the slide base and the fixing base, and a fastening member provided between a bottom of the slide base and a bottom of the cabinet. When one of the drawers is pulled out, the slide base will go down to let the lock member escape from the slide base, and the slide base then goes up to prevent other drawers from sliding out, thus only one drawer can be pulled out at one time, which avoids potential danger when the center of gravity of the tool cabinet is shifted due to too many drawers being slid out at one time.

A portable hemodialysis system is provided including a disposable cartridge and a reused dialysis machine. The disposable cartridge includes a dialysate flow path and a blood flow path which flow in opposite directions through a dialyzer. The disposable cartridge further includes a filter for removing waste products from the dialysate as well as one or more flow sensors for measuring the flow of dialysate in the dialysate flow path. The preferred flow sensor includes a rotatable spoked wheel in the dialysate flow path which is rotated by the flow of dialysate. The spoked wheel includes one or more magnets which are rotated with the rotation of the spoked wheel. The flow sensor further includes a magnetic field sensor in the reused dialysis machine which is connected to a processor for monitoring the rotation of the spoked wheel to determine flow of fluid in the dialysate flow path.

A portable hemodialysis system is provided suitable for in home use. The hemodialysis system includes a disposable cartridge and a reused dialysis machine. The disposable cartridge includes a dialyzer, and a dialysate flow path and a blood flow path which flow in opposing directions through the dialyzer. In addition, the disposable cartridge possesses pump actuators (but not pump motors) for pumping dialysate and blood through their respective flow paths. The pump actuators having non-deformable components including a housing having a central cavity forming an internal sidewall, a rotor eccentrically positioned within the cavity having radially aligned slots at the rotor's periphery, and vanes slideably positioned in the slots to slide in and out of the slots so as to seal with the cavity's internal sidewall creating vane chambers that pump blood or dialysate.

A rotary cutter head for a surgical stapling instrument includes a staple cartridge, an annular cutter, a staple-pushing seat and a staple chamber. The staple-pushing seat and the annular cutter are connected by a bearing structure and provided with guide projections. The inner wall of the staple cartridge or the outboard of the expand-stopping tube is integral injection molded with a metal cylinder insert, on which is provided with a forward helix track and a backward track mutually independent and communicated with each other. The guide projections are mated with the two guide tracks and guiding the annular cutter to move along a helical path.

The invention relates to a method for monitoring the dynamic behavior, in particular of the oscillating behavior of a rotating shaft, the oscillation being detected by at least two sensors at defined different spatial position, the oscillating behavior in at least one preferred direction being determined from the oscillation. The invention also relates to a device for monitoring oscillating behavior in a rotary machine with rotable parts, having at least two sensors, a shaft and a computing unit, characterized in that the at least two sensors are positioned in a defined spatial position outside the shaft, detect measurement variables which characterize the oscillations and are connected to a computing unit for the transfer of data. The invention also relates to a gas turbine and a steam turbine that use a method and a device as per the invention.
