Abstract: A lubricating apparatus for an internal combustion engine incorporating a trap in fluid communication with a low point of the sump of the engine. The trap may house a plurality of meshes having a plurality of sizes for trapping precipitating solids. The trap may be isolated from the sump by a valve for cleaning of the trap and meshes. An auxiliary oil pump may provide a small flow of oil through the trap during periods of engine shutdown.

Abstract: An apparatus for the storage and chemical treatment of a fluid incorporating a container in fluid communication with a tank through a check valve. A solid material is retained within container while being dissolved in fluid. A mesh prevents the migration of solid material into the check valve or tank. Check valve prevents the release of fluid from the tank in the event that cap is opened under pressurized conditions.

Abstract: A system and method of use for reflecting tissue located within the body of a living being. The system comprises at least one clip, a clip introducer instrument, a positioning member in the form of a tension cable assembly, and a clip removal instrument. The introducer instrument is arranged for delivering the clip through a small percutaneous incision or puncture to the situs of the tissue. The clip has a pair of jaws defining a mouth therebetween and are moveable between a open and a closed position. The jaws are biased to the closed position by an biasing member which is actuatable via the same or another percutaneous incision or puncture so that at least a portion of the tissue is trapped within the clip's mouth when it closes. The tension cable assembly comprises a flexible cable having a distal end portion and a proximal portion, and is of small diameter arranged to be extended through any percutaneous incision or puncture from outside the body of the being so that the distal end portion is coupled to the clip, with the proximal portion of the cable outside of the body of the being. The proximal portion of the cable is arranged to be moved to cause the portion of tissue trapped within the mouth of the clip to be moved to a desired position. The clip removal instrument is arranged to release the clip from the tissue and to remove it from the being's body, if desired.
