...that the Band-Aid Bandage was invented by a Johnson & Johnson employee whose wife had cut herself? Earl Dickson's wife was rather accident prone, so he set out to develop a bandage that she could apply without help. He placed a small piece of gauze in the center of a small piece of surgical tape, and what we know today as the Band Aid bandage was born!

| 5046500 | Doppler flow velocity meter A Doppler measuring device for measuring the flow velocity of a fluid which carries particles which reflect ultrasonic waves is described. The device includes an ultrasonic transducer for insonating the fluid with ultrasonic wave pulses in response to cor... | 09/10/1991 |
| 5035150 | Pipetting method A pipetting device comprising a probe for dipping into a reservoir, reaction vessel or the like, a metering pump connected to the probe and a shutoff valve disposed between the probe and the pump are provided. In the intake phase of the pump with the valv... | 07/30/1991 |
| 4970443 | Cathode-ray display A cathode-ray display for displaying a trace has a memory to store portions of digitized input signal. An analogue signal is created from the memory and is added to a ramp signal corresponding to the ramp signal utilized to control the field scanning of t... | 11/13/1990 |
