Particularly, the assembly 10 includes a selectively expandable portion 18 which is stretched along an inflation wand 12 and is then inserted into ...

A dermal, transdermal, mucosal or transmucosal delivery device is provided. The device includes a backing layer, defining an ingredient containing reservoir, a cover for the reservoir having at least one opening therethrough, an adhesive layer and a liner layer. Upon removal of the liner layer, the device may be placed over the desired area of the skin or mucosa and adhesively applied thereto allo...

A universal lift for boats (2) comprises: some saddles (3) for supporting the keel; two pontoons (4), provided with pneumatic chambers (5), sustaining the saddles (3), oriented transversely; valve means and pressurisation means, associated to the pneumatic chambers (5), to operate in mutual co-ordination and allow the pontoons (4) to sink into and emerge from the water. The saddles (3) are provide...

A set of wire-locking pliers has two elongated handles one of which is attached to one handle with a twist mechanism and a catch for the free handle (38). When the free handle (14) is engaged and closed, the release catch is locked in place within a sleeve (36) and held in closed presentation by a spring (42) within the sleeve.

A flow control device includes a wall part partitioning an upstream side and a downstream side of a flow passage for fluid, an aperture part formed on the wall part, a sheet shaped valve element which changes from a closed state in which the sheet shaped valve element extends along the wall part to cover the aperture part to an opened state in which the aperture part is opened and a valve element ...

Precast reinforced concrete column and beam members with preformed structural continuity in the interconnection zones, characterized in that the columns (1) are positioned in pairs side by side with a spacing between them which is less than the length of the interconnecting beams, and windows (2) aligned with each other and of a size suitably greater than the cross-sections of the interconnecting ...
