*** Missouri Inventor Develops Patent for Spring Activated Adjustable Dead Bolt Latch ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 5 -- Robert J. Viviano, St. Louis, has developed a patent (8,360,482) for a "spring activated adjustable dead bolt latch." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A dead bolt latch (10) readily adjustable between forward and rear backset positions. A bolt casing (56) connects to a faceplate (48) installed on an outer face of a door (D). A bolt (15) fitting within the casing extends and retracts to latch or unlatch the door. A latch operator (12) and the bolt casing each have slots (64, 78) of a length corresponding to the distance between the backset positions, and a spring (72) seats between the bolt and latch operator. When the latch is being installed and needs to be adjusted between backset positions, the installer blocks movement of the bolt and then, by turning the latch operator, moves the relative position of the latch operator and bolt between backset positions using the force of the spring. This facilitates latch adjustment even by relatively unskilled installers." The patent application was filed on June 24, 2005 (11/993,179). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=83,60,482.PN.&OS=PN/83,60,482&RS=PN/83,60,482 Written by Amal Ahmed; edited by Jaya Anand.

Hawkins, Centralia, Mo., and Tim Staelens, Columbia, Mo., for a "guy adapter having non-integral pulling eye." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A guy adapter includes a main body having first and second ends. A socket member is connected to the first end. An eye member is connected to the second end. A non-integral pulling eye is slidably mounted on the main body. The socket member is forged to the first end of the main body.

*** Covidien Assigned Patent for Aliquot Correction for Feeding Set Degradation ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 5 -- Covidien, Switzerland, has been assigned a patent (8,360,757) developed by Christopher A. Knauper, O'Fallon, Mo., Eric B. Holderle, St. Louis, and Joseph A. Hudson, O'Fallon, Mo., for an "aliquot correction for feeding set degradation." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A peristaltic pump is able to deliver accurate volumes over the life of a pump set that is operated on by the pump to drive the flow of fluid. The pump delivers fluid in small volumes or aliquots. In order to deliver fluid at any particular selected flow rate, the pump determines how often the rotor will rotate. The pump is able to calculate aliquot volume based on selected flow rate, but also on a factor that compensates for changes in the dimensions of the pump set over its life." The patent application was filed on July 7, 2011 (13/177,768). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,360,757&OS=8,360,757&RS=8,360,757 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Anand Kumar.
