A port assembly (100) is generally disclosed that has an annular port ring (110) configured for placement in a barrier wall (10). The annular port ring (110) defines a port opening (20) extending from a first end (22) to a second end (24) and an annular sealing surface (118) about the port opening (20) on the second end (24). A port cover (120) is mechanically coupleable to the annular port ring (110). The port cover (120) defines an annular mating surface (124) configured to couple to the annular sealing surface (118) of the annular port ring (110). A manually actuatable handle (130) is in mechanical communication with the port cover (120). The handle (130) extends from the first end (22) of the annular port ring (110) away from the second end (24).

A patient warming system for stabilizing and/or heating and cooling a patient includes a plurality of solid-surface sections arranged for attachment to a surgical table and a warming pad layer comprising a plurality of warming pads configured for removable connection to the plurality of solid-surface sections. At least one of the plurality of solid-surface sections includes a power connector for connection to an external power source. Each warming pad of the plurality of warming pads includes a foam insulation layer, a distributed heating element layer having a warming-pad power connection for connection to the power connector, an isothermal layer, and a flexible waterproof layer. Power supplied to the warming-pad power connection of the distributed heating element layer of the respective warming pad can be used to provide a user-selected uniform temperature over the surface of the flexible waterproof layer in order to prevent hot spots.

The present invention provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for the treatment of containerized waste, such as hazardous, radioactive and/or mixed waste. The apparatuses and methods employ a combination of thermal decomposition and specialized lances.

The invention relates to a door arrangement (1) for a first enclosed space enabling a sealed connection between the first enclosed space and a second enclosed space, comprising a flange (2) defining an opening into the first enclosed space, a door (4) hingedly mounted on the flange (2), means for securing the flange of the second space pressed against the flange of the first space, the means comprising locking catches (8) which are movable between an unlocked position in which they are recessed inside the flange (2) and a locked position in which they project radially from the flange (2) to the opening, thereby locking the flange of the second space without rotating the flange (2) by engaging each catch in a notch provided on the outer peripheral edge of the flange of the second space.

The invention relates to a sealed container (1) comprising a flange (5, 6) that delimits a through-passage having an axial axis in the container, a door (7) movably mounted on the flange (5, 6), and a first annular seal (13) located between the flange (5, 6) and the door (7), the flange, the door and the first seal forming a sealed connection device that can be connected to a complementary connection device on a sterile enclosure by bayonet connection means in order to allow sterile communication between the sealed container and the sterile enclosure, characterized in that the container (1) includes a protective cover (20) on the connection device, said protective cover being forcibly clipped onto the container, and in that the container further includes contact pressure means arranged between the protective cover (20) and the connection device so as to apply contact pressure to the connection device in the axial direction proportional to the clipping force.

The invention relates to a door assembly (1) allowing a sealed transfer between two enclosed volumes, comprising a flange (2) arranged to delimit an opening in one of the enclosed volumes, and a door (4) that extends along an axis (C) and is hingedly fastened to/mounted on the flange (2) so as to move from a closed position in which the door (4) closes the passage opening (3), into an open position, characterized in that the door (4) is fastened to the flange (2) by a double-joint linkage mechanism (5) comprising a first joint (6) arranged to allow a rotational movement about an axis (A) perpendicularly to the axis (C) of the door by a maximum of 30 degrees in relation to the plane of the passage opening (3), and a second joint (7) arranged to allow a rotational movement about an axis (B) parallel to the axis (C) of the door.

The invention relates to a door assembly (1) for a sealed enclosure, said enclosure comprising a wall having a wall portion (20) defining at least one passage opening therein, said door assembly (1) comprising a flange (3) intended for being attached to the wall portion (20), characterized in that the flange (3) comprises two flange elements (3a, 3b) assembled together, one of the flange elements (3a) defining a ring inside the enclosure, the other flange element (3b) defining a ring outside the enclosure, and means for clamping at least one of the two flange elements (3a, 3b) against the wall portion (20).
