This device comprises a hollow support (13) delimiting, in the vicinity of a distal end (19), a transverse retention opening (23A). It comprises an endoprosthesis (11) which can be deployed between a state retracted against the support (13) and an expanded state. The device comprises a filamentary connection (33A) forming a clamping ring (43) surrounding the endoprosthesis (11) and forming a loop (45) engaged in the support (13) through the retention opening (23A). The device comprises a retention rod (31A) mounted to be movable in the support (13). The retention rod (31A) comprises a hook (35) for retaining the loop (45). The displacement of the retention rod (31A) from a release position to a retention position brings about the tightening of the clamping ring (43).

A deadbolt mechanism including a lock out mechanism that functions to disable the operation of the deadbolt from at least one side of the deadbolt mechanism. The deadbolt mechanism includes a deadbolt, key cylinder, housing, turn knob and a shaft that connects the key cylinder and turn knob. To place the deadbolt mechanism in lock out mode, a release mechanism is actuated and the turn knob is pulled outward away from the door. By pulling the knob outward, the shaft engages a portion of the housing which prevents rotation of the shaft and thereby prevents movement of the deadbolt from the lock-out position.

A device for regulating the flow rate of a fluid includes a housing containing a plurality of flow conduits fluidly connecting an inlet and an outlet, each of the flow conduits comprising a flow control tube (310, 312, 314) and a resiliently compressive occlusion tube (316, 318, 320), wherein the flow control tubes are of substantially equal internal diameter. Each of the flow control tubes has a length associated with a different flow rate. A resilient flow-blocking element (212a, 212b, 212c) is operatively associated with each of the occlusion tubes and is movable into a flow-blocking compression against its associated occlusion tube. An actuation mechanism (206) in the housing is operable: (a) to selectively engage and move one or more of the flow-blocking elements into the flow-blocking compression against its associated occlusion tube, and (b) to selectively be disengaged from any of the flow-blocking elements.

Compositions and methods are provided which can be utilized in active immunization as a prophylactic treatment or a therapeutic treatment for tumors. The compositions are employed as injectable tumor vaccines or as preparations for intratumoral administration and are capable of stimulating immune responses to specific tumor antigens. The tumor vaccines are composed of an antigenic cellular material including a plurality of inactivated tumor cells or tumor cell portions, a depot material, and an immunostimulant adsorbed to the depot material. The depot material with absorbed immunostimulant is mixed with the tumor cells or tumor cell portions to form the vaccine compositions. The preparations for intratumoral administration include the depot material adsorbed immunostimulant without the antigenic cellular material. The immunostimulant adsorbed to the depot material permits release of biologically active quantities of the immunostimulant over a period of time rather than all at once.

A cleaning device for blades of a fan including a first arm with distal end and proximal end, a first cleaning element attached to the proximal end and a second arm with a distal end and proximal end, a second cleaning element attached to the proximal end as well as a pivoting joint connected to the distal end of the first arm and the distal end of the second arm the pivoting joint also having a handle connection.

A deadbolt mechanism including a lock out mechanism that functions to disable the operation of the deadbolt from at least one side of the deadbolt mechanism. The deadbolt mechanism includes a deadbolt, key cylinder, housing, turn knob and a shaft that connects the key cylinder and turn knob. To place the deadbolt mechanism in lock out mode, the turn knob is moved to the locked positioned and then pulled outward away from the door. By pulling the knob outward, the shaft engages a portion of the housing which prevents rotation of the shaft and thereby prevents movement of the deadbolt from the locked position.

The invention relates to a vial for a liquid or pasty cosmetic product, comprising an elongate body having a base area (11) and a free edge (12), a vessel (20) containing said product and which is translatably movable in the body between a bottom rest position and a top working position, an elastically compressible guide device with a stable retracted configuration determining the bottom position and a maximum extension configuration determining the top position, comprising a hollow guide track in which a guide pin is inserted at least in the maximum extension configuration, as well as an application element (30) comprising a cap (40) suitable for being inserted inside the body and, in the opposite direction, for being at least partially extracted from said body by the elastically compressible guide device. An elastic insert (67) is provided next to said guide track to slow the movement of the guide pin when the elastically compressible guide device exits the maximum extension configuration thereof due to the cap being pushed into the body.

A reaction vessel (reactor) is shown that, filled with metal and placed either within a CVD type furnace or in a housing in fluid communication with the CVD type furnace can produce commercial quantities of a metal halide gas over extended time periods and multiple furnace runs. The control of temperature and the simplicity of this reaction vessel allows temperature differentials between the metal halide gas produced and the CVD type reactor target thus providing differing deposits. The reactor is noteworthy in that no valves, flow restrictors or other equipment which could create corrosion problems is used in the heated/reactive area of the vessel thus producing very high quality metal halide gas.

The invention discloses a strong-shear rolling forming method and a strong-shear rolling forming device for a metal plate. Power is provided by friction force between the plate and rollers during rolling deformation, and the plate is subjected to the strong-shear deformation of dies, and then enters a part between the rollers for plate rolling deformation. The device comprises a double-roller rolling mill, a movable die upper template, a movable die lower template, a stand, a fixed die lower template and a fixed die upper template, wherein the fixed die lower template is fixedly arranged on the stand; the movable die lower template is hinged to the fixed die lower template, and is arranged on the stand through an oil cylinder; the fixed die upper template and the movable die upper template are arranged on the fixed die lower template and the movable die lower template through bolts respectively; the double-roller rolling mill is arranged at an outlet of a metal plate passage. The method and the device are flexible in die equal channel angular adjustment and low in cost; the rolling deformation and the shear deformation of the metal plate such as a magnesium plate and an aluminum plate can be effectively combined, crystal grains of the plate can be refined, the texture evolution of the plate can be controlled, and the mechanical performance and the forming performance of the plate can be improved.

A fluid dispenser device having a body (1), a fluid reservoir (3) containing two half-doses, a dispensing mechanism that dispenses a half-dose of fluid upon actuation, and an energy accumulation mechanism (50, 51, 55) that accumulates energy in the hand of the user and released suddenly so that each of the half-doses is dispensed in full. The dispensing mechanism includes a dispensing member (8) mounted to slide in the reservoir (3) for dispensing the fluid, an actuating element (5) mounted to move between a rest position and an actuating position and on which the user exerts an actuating force to move the dispensing member (8) inside said reservoir (3). The actuating element is mounted to move in a direction substantially transverse to the direction in which the dispensing member (8) moves, and a dose-splitting mechanism (7, 12) dispenses a half-dose of fluid each time the dispensing mechanism is actuated.
