US Patent:

53721250, Dec 13, 1994

Filed:

Aug 13, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/106140

Inventors:

Joseph N. Lyons - Wilbraham MA

Assignee:

Ludlow Corporation - Exeter NH

International Classification:

A61B 504

US Classification:

128 64D

Abstract:

A biomedical monitoring or stimulating electrode that adheres to a person's skin is disclosed. The electrode is made of a thin, flat flexible material and includes a die-cut patch having a non-conductive adhesive coating applied on one side of the patch, a foundation component formed into four integral functional areas, a conductive component made up of an electrically conductive material with three contiguous portions, and a conductive media. Also disclosed is a connector that interfaces with a tab portion of the electrode. The connector includes an electrically conductive element having an inclined surface upon which the tab of the electrode rests. A slider is movable between two positions such that when in its closed position, the electrode neck and head is trapped in the connector and the slider exerts a force on the inclined surface of a cavity of the connector, providing electrical connection to electrode. Thus, the cavity and firm compression act to prevent the electrode from becoming disengaged from the connector.

Abstract:

A biomedical monitoring or stimulating electrode that adheres to a person's skin is disclosed. The electrode is made of a thin, flat flexible material and includes a die-cut patch having one or more adhesive coatings applied on one side of the patch, a foundation component formed into four integral functional areas, a conductive component made up of an electrically conductive material with three contiguous portions, and a conductive media. A connector interfaces with a tab portion of the electrode. The connector includes an electrically conductive element having an inclined surface upon which the tab of the electrode rests.

International Classification:

G01D 1524
B42D 1500

US Classification:

346136

Abstract:

A process for improving the readability of a data-recording line on a chart recording paper whereby the improvement is achieved by moving the recording line across a field largely composed of a matrix of dots. The procedure is particularly advantageous in improving the readability of thin lines achievable with pressure-responsive or thermographic paper, but it is also advantageous when common inking procedures are used. A novel chart paper consisting of a dot matrix format is also disclosed.

Assignee:

Ludlow Corporation - Exeter NH

International Classification:

B65D 2738

US Classification:

229309

Abstract:

A combination sealing and opening strip for various types of packages comprises a three-layer laminate strip having a centrally-located, high strength membrane with pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides of the membrane. The membrane comprises a material, such as MYLAR. RTM. flexible synthetic film, polyester, other polymeric films, fiberglass, or fibrous or non-fibrous materials of various compositions with a strength greater than that of the package material. This provides for a controlled tearing of the package material. During strip manufacture, the adhesive-coated strip is laminated in precise registration onto a differentially-coated release liner. The combination strip and release liner are applied to the package material in a location such as the flap of a common overnight envelope. When sealing the package, the user peels the release liner from the strip. The flap is folded down such that the exposed adhesive-coated side of the strip contacts the package material in a desired location, which seals the package.
