A combined surgical needle-suture device is disclosed in which the suture is received into a socket, or recess, formed within the blunt end of the needle, the entrance to the socket being defined by a circumferential sloping surface which terminates at its outer end in a circumferential cutting edge which provides quick and convenient suture cut-off capability when severing of the suture from the needle is desired.

An electrodeless fluorescent light source has an electrodeless lamp mounted in a termination fixture which includes an inner conductor and an outer conductor disposed around the inner conductor and is coupled to a high frequency power source. Power is coupled to an ultraviolet-producing low pressure discharge in the electrodeless lamp which acts as a termination load within the termination fixture. A phosphor coating on the inner surface of the electrodeless lamp emits visible light upon excitation by ultraviolet radiation. Alternatively, the phosphor coating can be on the inner surface of a transparent envelope which forms part of the termination fixture. In this case, the phosphor coated envelope can be removable from the light source. The light source can be dimmed by reducing the microwave power input. Frequency of operation is typically from 902 MHz to 928 MHz.

A fuze for accurately sensing the distance to a target irrespective of the resence of a medium intermediate of the fuze and the target. The fuze includes a source of radiation which is transmitted to the target and a detector which detects the backscatter from the target and intervening media. The detector output is amplified in an amplifier connected thereto and filtered in a filter connected to the amplifier to provide an output signal which is threshold detected in a threshold device connected to the amplifier. The threshold detected signal is applied to a firing circuit to provide a signal responsive to a predetermined distance above the target.

An interface between a liquid chromatograph and a mass spectrometer is provided for conducting a liquid stream from the chromatograph to the spectrometer. The stream passes from the chromatograph continuously along a tapered concentrator wire toward the narrow end of the wire. The stream is heated in order to evaporate solvent therefrom and to increase the concentration of the solute therein. When the stream reaches the narrow end of the wire, the vacuum created by the mass spectrometer draws the stream through an elongated capillary tube which has a pointed carrier wire positioned therein. A gap is provided in the tube where the tube and the carrier wire intersect the concentrator wire. The capillary tube is either formed with a reduced diameter at one end adjacent the spectrometer or the carrier wire has a ball of solder at that end in order to partially restrict the flow through the tube. The carrier wire is longitudinally moveable within the tube in order to control the flow of material into the spectrometer.

A method of processing a liquid material. The method includes mixing a liquid material with a solvent, wherein the solvent has a constituent capable of coating the particles of the material. The liquid material mixed with the solvent is then particlized, deposited on a substrate and activated to form a pre-defined electrically conductive pattern. Particlization methods include sonication and the deposition methods include ink-jet printing. Activation methods include applying mechanical pressure. The method can be used to produce electronic devices. The electronic devices made by the method include strain gauges. The substrates utilized for making the electronic devices utilizing the method can be wearable or stretchable or both.
