The invention relates to an expandable stent comprising circumferentially adjacent modules. The modules comprise longitudinally adjacent slide-and-lock radial elements which permit one-way sliding of the radial elements from a collapsed diameter to an expanded/deployed diameter, but inhibit radial recoil from the expanded diameter.

A medical device includes a polymer scaffold crimped to a catheter having an expansion balloon. A sheath is placed over the crimped scaffold after crimping to reduce recoil of the crimped polymer scaffold and maintain scaffold-balloon engagement relied on to hold the scaffold to the balloon when the scaffold is being delivered to a target in a body. The sheath is removed by a health professional either by removing the sheath directly or using a tube containing the catheter.

An implantable medical apparatus includes a structure formed from bioabsorbable polymers. The apparatus also contains a therapeutic agent dispersed throughout the structure or coated on the structure in such a manner as to elute the therapeutic agent when implanted in an anatomical conduit. The apparatus can be constructed from a blend of polymers and other agents. The apparatus is implanted into the conduit by expansion with a balloon or some other expandable means. The morphology or arrangement of the polymeric structure ensures that the device maintains its shape characteristics to ensure proper modeling of the vessel. In particular, the crystallinity of the polymeric structure is adjusted so as to resist recoil.

A system for connecting an accessory to a firearm having an enlarged muzzle portion has a body with a bore sized to closely receive the enlarged portion. The body has a stop to limit the insertion depth of the muzzle. A gate is received by the body for movement along the path perpendicular to the bore axis. The gate has a recessed area sized to receive the enlarged muzzle portion. A spring generates axial force to retain the muzzle portion within the recessed area. Compression of the spring enables movement of the gate to shift between an open and closed position, so that the accessory may be removed or installed when in the open position, and secured when in the closed position.

An improved muzzle brake, attached to the end of a rifle barrel reducing the recoil of the rifle includes an internally threaded attaching end, engaging outer threads of a rifle barrel, a flattened projectile end, with an overall increasing taper from the attaching end to the projectile end, a flat upper surface which does not impede the sight line of the rifle, a flat lower surface, and two lateral surfaces including a first lateral oval vent, a second lateral oval vent and a third lateral oval vent, the first lateral vent defining a first flat brake plate having a first central bore, the second lateral oval vent defining a second flat brake plate having a second central bore and the third lateral oval vent defining a third flat brake plate having a third central bore penetrating through the projectile end, wherein a bullet fired from the rifle travels through the attaching end, the first central bore, second central bore and third central bore, while the gasses generated by the fired projectile are deflected laterally by the first flat brake plate, second flat brake plate and third flat brake plate, forcing the rifle forward, reducing the recoil force of the fired rifle.

A system for mounting a stent on a balloon catheter includes two positioning and alignment stations, which are used to prepare a stent and catheter for crimping using the same crimping head. The system is configured for automated assembly of the stent and catheter prior to crimping. A catheter and stent are placed on a computer-controlled carriage that delivers the stent and catheter to the crimper head. Before placing the stent and catheter into the crimper head, an automated alignment system locates the stent between balloon markers.

A medical device includes a polymer scaffold crimped to a catheter having an expansion balloon. A sheath pair is placed over the crimped scaffold after crimping to reduce recoil of the crimped polymer scaffold and maintain scaffold-balloon engagement relied on to hold the scaffold to the balloon when the scaffold is being delivered to a target in a body. The sheath pair is removed by a health professional before placing the scaffold within the body.

Recoil mitigating devices and methods for use with projectile firing systems such as a disrupter mounted to a robotic arm. A pair of parallel spring provides dampening of axial recoil movement of the disrupter relative to the robotic arm. Forward ends of the springs are attachable to the barrel of the disrupter while rearward portions of the springs are attachable to the robotic arm by a robot mount block. The robot mount block at least partially encloses the barrel of the disrupter in connecting the parallel springs and permits axial movement of the disrupter along or through the mount during firing.

The invention discloses equipment of processing incorporate urban sewage and its technics. The equipment is made of armor plate. It includes internal electrolysis reaction area, machine-adding mixing system, helix flocculation depressed area and biolobical reaction area. Sewage can reach GB8978-1996 discharging standard through internal electrolysis reaction, flocculating settling (to remove phosphor), aerobic biological reaction, anaerobic reaction and filtration. Adopting incorporate treatment technics, the invention has a little floor space, low investment and a good effect. It adapts to urban subzones, blocks in villages and towns and micromidi companies such as urban diet, food processing and abattoir.

A muzzle brake includes three primary structural components, namely a main body, a baffle, and an end cap. The components are preferably integrally fabricated into a single piece device, or alternatively may be fabricated separately and assembled. A muzzle brake in accordance with the present invention comprises a generally cylindrical muzzle brake assembly attachable to the muzzle end of a firearm. The muzzle brake assembly forms two expansion chambers, each of which is bounded by a peripheral sidewall defining opposing left and right vent apertures and a converging end wall. The end walls define axially aligned openings sized slightly larger than the diameter of the projectile for allowing the projectile to pass from the firearm muzzle, through the muzzle brake, and onward down the target line toward the intended target. The first chamber defines opposing left and right vent apertures for venting gases generally upward and rearward to reduce muzzle jump. The second chamber defines opposing left and right side apertures, with the left aperture being substantially larger than the right aperture for venting gases to counter torque related movement.

A breech system for a firearm exhibits a breech which can be locked in its movement in the barrel block by at least one locking element, which is pressed against the rear end of the barrel by means of a breech spring surrounding the rigid barrel of the weapon, the barrel being enclosed with the exception of the front and rear apertures, whereby the breech spring is supported at the rear section of the barrel and at least one link element subjected to tension connects the front end of the breech spring and the breech. In order to guarantee precise function and in a manner which is safe for the user, by means of a simple arrangement which is reproducible in manufacture, a purely mechanical delay element is inserted in the link between the breech (10) and the breech spring (9).

A trigger group assembly for a semi-automatic shotgun includes a follower pin that is slideably attached to a sliding track assembly. The follower pin engages a pair of tracks to facilitate cooperation the sliding track assembly's carrier with the shell retainer of a detachable magazine in such a way that when the bolt is propelled rearward, a cartridge is released from the magazine, and when the bolt is propelled forward, the cartridge is lifted by the carrier into the path of the bolt and loaded into the chamber of the firearm.

The present disclosure relates to an adapter and a mechanism for attaching accessories to support structures. The adapter generally comprises a base configured for attachment to a support structure; a housing connected to the base; at least one rotating member coupled with the housing; a locking means arranged and configured to selectively engage the at least one rotating member; an accessory attachment member configured to receive at least one accessory; and at least one arm having a first end connected to the accessory attachment member and having a second end connected to the at least one rotating member.
