Filed:

Apr 12, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/124208

Inventors:

Lisa Bieker - Columbus OH
Michael J. Neal - Columbus OH

Assignee:

B H Thermal Corporation - Columbus OH

International Classification:

H05B 334

US Classification:

219528, 219535

Abstract:

A heating jacket for use on a processing vessel includes a flexible heater jacket having a plurality of layers, a flexible heating element positioned within the layers, and a thermostat positioned within the layers and electrically connected to the heating element for regulating the heating element. An access opening is formed in at least one of the layers to provide access to the thermostat positioned within the layers. An access cover includes a pivotable inner cover which selectively covers the access opening and an outer cover which selectively covers the inner cover. A mounting bracket of the thermostat extends below a pair of parallel flexible strips to secure the thermostat to the layers whereby the thermostat is readily replaceable in the field.

International Classification:

H05B 3/36

US Classification:

219386, 219521, 219529, 219535, 219539

Abstract:

A gas cylinder includes a cylindrically-shaped main wall having a liner, a facing and insulation located between the liner and the facing. First and second electric, self-regulating heating elements are positioned between the liner and the insulation. The liner is provided with first and second pockets and the first and second heating elements are located within the pockets. The first heating element has a higher wattage density than the second heating element and the first heating element is located below the second heating element. A sealed conduit enclosure contains a terminal block connecting a power input cable to the first and second heating elements. A planar top wall is located at the top of the main wall and has an opening for passage of a regulator of the gas cylinder.

Inventors:

Brad Bivens - Ashville OH, US
Michael Neal - Columbus OH, US
Doug Dietz - Columbus OH, US

International Classification:

H05B003/34

US Classification:

219/549000

Abstract:

A heater assembly includes first and second flexible layers and first, second, third, and fourth flexible electrical resistance heating elements connected in series and positioned between the first and second flexible layers. The first, second, third and fourth heating elements form a plurality of heating zones having different watt densities so that heat is non-uniformly produced by the heating zones. In a preferred embodiment, the first, second, third, and fourth heating zones are concentric circles and the outer most first heating zone has a watt density higher than the inner most fourth heating zone.

A61M 39/02

Abstract:

An implantable system for delivering fluids, such as drugs, to one or more anatomical structures in a patient's (i.e., human or animal) body. A number of medical conditions require continual and/or periodic administration of fluids (e.g., drugs) to target regions (e.g., anatomic organs) of the body. Accessibility to those target regions might be limited technically for ex. and not limited to: frequent endoscopic, radiologically guided or surgical approaches. The system delivers the fluid needed in a continual or intermittent fashion to the target region. It controls the amount of fluid delivered to the target region and measures the intended physiologic effect of the fluid delivered.

Inventors:

Michael T. Neal - Dayton OH, US

International Classification:

G09B 23/18

Abstract:

A breadboard includes a panel having a top side and a bottom side, a first and second plurality of spaced component receiving openings extend through the top side surface and communicate with a larger first and second terminal receiving open surfaces extending from the bottom side surface which are configured to receive a first and second conductive terminals, respectively, and on a side of at least one of the first and second plurality of spaced openings in the top side surface is formed a raised surface and spanning a length approximate the larger terminal receiving open surfaces and parallel thereto and which forms part of the top side surface thereby defining a row of said plurality of spaced component receiving openings in which the conductive terminals lie.
