An interchangeable transducer for use with an ultrasound medical system having a keyless adaptor and capable of operating in a wet environment. The interchangeable transducer has an adaptor for engaging a medical system, an ultrasound transducer and additional electronics to provide a self-contained insert for easy replacement and usage in a variety of medical applications. A slip ring spacer is also disclosed, the slip ring spacer for use with a pancake slip ring having a base and flange configuration to form one or more channels around each contact ring of the pancake slip ring. The channels provide fluid isolation around each connector to help reduce electronic cross talk and contact corrosion between the connector pads of the slip ring while the slip ring is immersed in a wet environment.

Medical stents having valves and their methods of manufacture are disclosed. The valve may be basket-shaped and formed integral to a medical stent to prevent undesirable backflow across the valve. The valve can be formed by converting the braided wires of the stent, by providing elastomeric material onto a mold or fixture to form an elastomeric valve, or by attaching a gasket valve. The valve is normally closed but configured to allow easy opening in response to a predetermined condition.

The invention relates to an automatically-closing connector. The connector has a closing piston which is rigid and non-deformable; a compression chamber is constituted around the closing piston and is defined upstream by the end wall of the housing and downstream by a peripheral sealing gasket carried by the piston; the outlet of the connector is situated downstream from this gasket and the closing piston has an internal passage with an inlet that opens out into the compression chamber and an outlet that communicates with the outlet of the connector. The connector is applicable to injection devices in the medical field.

A golf club (40) having a club head (42) with a face component (60), an aft body (61) and a gasket (300) is disclosed herein. The face component (60) has a striking plate portion (72) and a return portion (74). The aft-body (61) is preferably composed of a crown portion (62), a sole portion (64) and optionally a ribbon section (90). The gasket (300) controls the face angle of the club head (42). The width of the gasket (300) varies to provide an open face angle club head, a closed face angle club head, or a neutral face angle club head (42). The club head (42) preferably has a volume in the range of 290 cubic centimeters to 600 cubic centimeters, a weight in the range of 165 grams to 300 grams, and a striking plate portion (72) surface area in the range of 4.00 square inches to 7.50 square inches.

The present disclosure provides structures and / or gaskets for deposition between adjacent intestinal sections in an anastomosis procedure. The structure possesses at least an inner ring of a first material, and a middle ring of a second material. The first material and the second material include a wound treatment material consisting of at least one of an adhesive, a sealant and / or a medicament. The first material is different from the second material.

This implant comprises an endoprosthesis having an axis which can be spontaneously deployed in a radial manner between a compressed configuration and a dilated configuration. The implant comprises at least one radial runner which comprises a separation surface which extends radially with respect to an outer surface of the endoprosthesis and a member which can be deployed away from the axis. The runner is arranged so as to delimit a confinement housing which extends between the separation surface and the outer surface and a radial spacer which is defined by the separation surface and the deployable member. When the implant is retained in a state of radial compression, the maximum radial width of the housing is less than the maximum radial width of the spacer which is not equal to zero.

An electrically conductive adhesive includes a resin component, a photoinitiator, and metal-coated polymer beads. The beads have an average diameter and a very narrow size distribution around the average diameter. The adhesive is applied between a read / write head and a suspension to attach the two, and the adhesive is cured by exposure to an illumination and / or heat. A pad spacer is included between the read / write head and the suspension to define a spacing and parallelism therebetween. The beads in the adhesive can form one or more layers between the read / write head and the suspension or can be disordered. The metal coating of the beads provide electrical conductivity between the read / write head and the suspension.

A flexible, sectioned plastic arm for a showerhead comprises a series of interconnected ball-and-socket (B&S) sections (10) with a proximal (shower pipe) end piece (12) and a distal (showerhead) end piece (14). Each B&S section has a proximal (cup or socket) end (10S) and a distal (ball) end (10B). The proximal end piece has a proximal end with female threads which can be screwed onto a shower pipe and a ball-shaped distal end for snapping into the socket of the most proximal section of the shower arm. The distal end piece has a proximal end with a socket for snapping onto the most distal end section of the shower arm and a distal end with male threads (12T) which can be screwed onto the showerhead. The arm has a through hole containing a series or chain of cylindrical brass or other metal sections, tubes, or sleeves (16). These prevent the arm from being bent too far, thereby to keep the B&S from separating. The two end tubes abut a pair of respective resilient spacers (18) or springs (18S), which in turn abut shoulders in the end pieces to keep the series of tubes in place. Inside the series of tubes is a flexible plastic tube (20) for carrying the water without leakage. A T-shaped end fitting (20T) is attached to each end of the plastic tube. These end fittings hold the tube in the arm. The top arm of the T of the distal end fitting sits in the bottom of the female threaded end of the proximal end piece. The top arm of the T of the distal end fitting sits on the very end of the male threaded end of the distal end piece.

Disclosed herein are organic electronic devices that are encapsulated at least in part by adsorbent-loaded transfer adhesives. The adsorbent material may be a dessicant and / or a getterer. The adsorbent-loaded transfer adhesive may form a gasket around the periphery of the device, or may cover the entire device and its periphery. An encapsulating lid covers the device.
