A manual and automatic fluid control system and method for use in open and laparoscopic laser surgery and electrosurgery is disclosed. The system includes a manual mode along with several automatic modes which can effectuate both suction and irrigation, either individually or simultaneously. In the various automatic modes, the suction and / or irrigation is automatically activated during activation of a medical apparatus for laser surgery or electrosurgery without requiring separate activation from the surgeon or operating room staff. Several safety features for monitoring the fluid control system are also incorporated within the system such as fluid sensors for detecting the absence of irrigation fluid, pressure sensors and vacuum systems for monitoring fluid pressure, fluid sensors for monitoring fluid volume, and warning signals for detecting empty containers. All of the safety features are designed to automatically deactivate suction and / or irrigation means contained within the fluid control system upon detection of unsafe levels. Finally, specially designed suction / irrigation hand pieces are disclosed for use in connection with the fluid control system.

A process for reducing the oxygen concentration in a container prior to filling the container with a liquid by passing a hollow filling needle through a puncturable part of the container wall, in which the empty container is enclosed within an envelope which is less permeable to oxygen than the container wall. The process is suitable for use with vials having a puncturable closure.

System for feeding empty containers on a conveyor belt, namely for packaging installations, such as bottling plants. The system for feeding containers comprises a supporting surface having dimensions sufficient to accommodate a multitude of empty containers placed side by side. This supporting surface continuously moves the containers against an abutment wall. The movement of the supporting surface causes empty containers to agglomerate against the abutment wall. A pushing device is provided to selectively push out from the containers agglomeration a number of containers over a secondary conveyor belt that will lead those containers to successive processing stations, such as a filling station, capping station, labeling station etc. The pushing device is mounted relative to the supporting surface such that it moves generally parallel to the abutment wall. The movement of the pushing device pushes out of the agglomeration a row of containers that are maintained in a serial order during this movement by the abutment wall on one hand and the rest of the empty containers on the other hand.

The present invention discloses an automatic sorting system of electric energy meters, which comprises a full carton conveying line, an empty carton conveying line, a control system, a robot, a carton blocking device, a carton clamping device, a carton removing device, an intelligent claw, and a rack, wherein the robot, the carton blocking device, the carton clamping device, the carton removing device, the intelligent claw and the rack are respectively connected with the control system, the intelligent claw scans the loading-into-carton state of the electric energy meter in the carton and uploads to the control system, and the control system determines the sorting position according to the electric energy meter position information and the loading-into-carton state of the electric energy meter. The present invention provides the automatic sorting system integrating the detecting and the grabbing, wherein the robot is adopted to perform automatic sorting so as to reduces the labor intensity of the worker, the intelligent claw carried on the robot terminal end integrates the detecting and the grabbing so as to reduce the cost and increase the production efficiency and the equipment utilization rate, the automatic sorting system achieves the functions of the automatic sorting of the electric energy meter and the automatic removing of the empty carton, and the loading-into-carton position information and the forward and reverse loading-into-carton information of the electric energy meter can be automatically recognized so as to increase the grabbing efficiency and the grabbing reliability of the electric energy meter.
