Information architecture
Blueprints for digital success
Information architecture (IA) is the method of organising the elements of each digital platform, from complete site structures through to individual pages or interactions.
Our information architecture expertise will ensure the success of your digital platforms and fully align these with your customer needs.
Deliverables from information architecture
Information architecture is the structuring and organisation of your digital platform's content, functionality, navigation and search schemes. The information architecture that we develop for you is based around both your business goals and user needs. Information architecture delivers:
- Robust and effective content strategies, page & navigation design, information structuring & categorisation
- Precise and successful site maps, wireframes, user journeys and navigation structures
- The foundations for digital platforms that have the best possible customer experience with increased task completion, improved conversion rates and maximised customer loyalty
Webcredible is one of the UK's leading user experience agencies and we've conducted 100s of information architecture projects over the years. We also run an IA training course which 100s of people have attended.
Success stories
Our work consistently helps our clients meet and exceed their targets. Some of our success stories include:
- 36% increase in made-to-order online revenues for Laura Ashley
- 50% reduction in mobile homepage drop-offs for Macmillan Cancer Support
- 44% conversion improvement and a 168% uplift in leads for Propertywide
- 80% increase in hotel 'look-to-book' conversions for Thomson
Our methodology
- We'll meet with and interview key stakeholders to start building a customer experience strategy based on a thorough understanding of your business needs, as well as any technical constraints.
- Next, we usually conduct highly focused user research to give us and you a complete understanding of your customers' needs, goals and behaviours. We'll also conduct card sorting to understand how users think your content should be organised.
- We'll produce a site map and page titles/labels designed around how your users think (and not how you as an organisation are structured).
- Based on both your customer needs and your business goals we'll design a navigation scheme that enables customers to move around the site's information architecture quickly and effectively.
- Next, we deliver wireframes, the blueprints (or schematics) of the page designs that contain all the major elements of a real page without any visual design.
- Finally, we'll convert the wireframes into a working prototype and carry out user testing on the prototype.
The big picture
Information architecture forms the foundations of a robust user experience design process. Based on in-depth user research, we can develop an information architecture that forms the basis of considered and beautiful designs that deliver on your business goals.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Chalet-stlye luxury property that blends elegance and coziness
The Four Seasons has all the trappings of a cozy ski chalet -- stone and wood accents inside and out, sloping roof eaves, cozy leather furniture -- but on a decidedly grand scale. (Each of the 121 rooms start at 575 square feet, and the public spaces are impressive.) But the property manages to effectively blend the typical Four Seasons elegance with a snug mountain feel. The design is perfectly suited to the location, with a warm color palette, thoughtful extras like stone fireplaces in every room, and excellent mountain views (particularly from the aptly named Fireside Lounge, and the excellent Flame restaurant.)
Located in the heart of Vail, within walking distance of the slopes
The Four Seasons is situated on Vail Road right off of Frontage Road and I-70, within walking distance of the slopes and Vail Village. It's not a ski-in, ski-out property, but the hotel does offer frequent shuttles to town.
Although it's not quite as pretentious as Aspen, Vail is one of the Rocky Mountains' most luxurious resort towns. Vail is the country's largest single-mountain ski resort, and is continually ranked as one of the most popular ski resorts in the country. Even celebrities come to weave down its snowy slopes.
In the winter, the main draws here are obviously skiing and snowboarding, but Vail also offers excellent restaurants (though most are expensive). Nightlife and entertainment options abound, especially on Bridge Street, one of the most popular nightlife destinations in town.
All rooms have stone fireplaces, balconies, and soaking tubs
Even the standard rooms are among the largest in Vail Valley, and come with gas fireplaces, balconies, wood-floor entryways and deep walk-in closets.
The bathrooms take up a fair amount of the square footage in each room, with double marble sinks, stone walk-in showers and standalone soaking tubs. Some bathrooms include LCD TVs in the mirrors.
Large, luxurious spa, top-of-the-line fitness center and year-round, outdoor pool
The lovely pool area, with plenty of lounge chairs, a pool-side stone fireplace, and one of the largest Jacuzzis in the area, is a highlight in both winter and summer.
The spa has its own 30-foot indoor hot tub and cold plunge pool, as well as his-and-her relaxation rooms, and treatments designed specifically for high altitudes.
A contemporary restaurant and the cozy Fireside Lounge, both with great mountain views
The Four Seasons Vail opened in 2011, and is one of the area's top hotels. All the rooms have warm colors, stone fireplaces, balconies, and huge marble bathrooms with standalone soaking tubs, and almost every amenity impresses, particularly the upscale spa (one of the best in Vail Valley) and lovely outdoor pool area. But it's not directly on the slopes -- guests face a 10-minute walk, or a short hotel shuttle ride.

Harbaugh: Tucker's poise is 'special'
Harbaugh: "Emotional challenge...most teams not able to withstand"
The Ravens play-calling in overtime against the Bengals on Sunday showed exactly how much confidence coach John Harbaugh has in second-year kicker Justin Tucker.
With the ball at the Cincinnati 30, which translated to a potential 47-yard field-goal try with the game on the line, the Ravens were content to run three plays right up the middle.
Tucker has the leg to hit from 60, but with a swirling wind whipping through M&T Bank Stadium, any long kick figured to be an adventure. Still, the Ravens were content to run for 2 yards in three plays -- eliminating any chance of a sack -- and then trot out Tucker to try a potentially dicey, wind-blown 46-yarder.
Tucker nailed it, giving the Ravens a 20-17 win that likely saved their season.
"It was kind of a cross-wind," Tucker said after the game. "We had a plan. The ball wasn't going to move too much. We just figured we'd hit it as close down the middle as possible and give it a shot."
It was the third overtime game-winner of Tucker's career, who last year beat New England on the final play of the game, then beat San Diego and Denver with kicks in overtime. The win at San Diego -- the famous "Hey Diddle Diddle" game -- came after Tucker hit a field goal in the final play of regulation to force overtime.
In terms of his poise under pressure, Tucker, who turns 24 next week, is "special that way," Harbaugh said on Monday.
Tucker missed only three kicks all last season, going 30-for-33, so it was somewhat shocking to see him miss twice against the Browns in Week 2. But since then he has hit 16 in a row.
That might be one reason why, as Tucker trotted onto the field to attempt the game-winner against the Bengals, wide receiver Torrey Smith said he was "relaxing."
"It's Tucker, man," he said after the game. "We're not worried about Tucker missing a kick. ... When the game's on the line, there's no other kicker we want out there besides him."

Come November 11th, Halo fans are in for more nostalgia and long-range sticky action than they can handle, courtesy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

See that monkey? It snapped a legitimate selfie, and did a right good job we might add. But here's a question for you: Who owns the photo rights?
Anonymous chat app Secret gives you the freedom to digitally vent your craziest, innermost thoughts without consequence. That's all well and good... until a hack discloses your identity.
Believe it or not, there are some negative implications to unhindered emotional discharge via apps like Secret. Brazil knows this, which is why the country is ordering Apple, Google and Microsoft to pull anonymous chat apps from their app stores.
Remember Coin, the product that wants to re-invent the credit card? It's now shipping to 10,000 beta testers for some real-world experience. We've got our fingers crossed.
It might sound like something out of 1984, but citizens of Karnataka could actually face jail time by liking posts on Facebook that are deemed "offensive" by the government. On the flip side, the state's troll activity is probably low.
Want to sit down, but can't get your hands on a chair? Honestly, it's a niche dilemma, but that fact doesn't make this Swiss-made contraption any less cool.

Good news for proponents of an open internet today as a proposed global telecom treaty was blocked by the US, Canada, Africa and Europe. The treaty would have allowed national governments to have control over the internet and monitor everything from its architecture to traffic flow to security.
The idea was debated for two weeks at the International Telecoms Union (ITU) conference in Dubai, but when all was said and done, the US simply could not support the idea.
"It is with a heavy heart and a sense of missed opportunities that I have to announce that the United States must communicate that it is unable to sign the agreement in its current form," Terry Kramer, head of the US delegation, told the conference, after what had looked like a final draft was approved.
"The internet has given the world unimaginable economic and social benefit during these past 24 years. All without UN regulation. We candidly cannot support an ITU Treaty that is inconsistent with the multi-stakeholder model of internet governance."
The countries opposed? UK, Canada, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Kenya, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Qatar and Sweden.
The major countries for? Russia, China and the UAE.
That should tell you something about the idea right there.
This treaty managed the impressive feat of uniting both Republicans and Democrats for the most part, as the former hate all things UN passionately, and the latter have generally been proponents of an open internet.
The original intent of the ITU conference was to update telecoms treaties that haven't been revised since 1988, before the internet even existed, but things developed to a point where the treaty felt like an overreach to most democratic governments. Again, we go back to the SOPA and PIPA problems of the government attempting to regulate the internet when it still barely understands it. But then you have countries like Russia and China who just hear "control" and understand that perfectly well.
I'm glad to see that the US was able to stand up and be a leader in opposition to the treaty, though it seems the ITU dug their own grave here.
"In the end, the ITU and the conference chair, having backed themselves to the edge of a cliff, dared governments to push them off," commented Kieren McCarthy, who runs the internet consultancy dot-nxt. "They duly did."
Maybe we've learned a thing or two about attempting to police the internet. Or maybe we're just waiting until the terms sound a little bit better for us. But today, this can safely be declared a victory for open internet.

Thanks for visiting my profile page. If you are reading this than you must be at least somewhat interested in me. There isn't too much to say. I am a sort of "On-the-go" kinda girl. If I am not online then I am at one of two jobs or otherwise working on art projects. If not either of those places, I am probably smoking some hookah or picking up a drink.

I am not so much a crazy "Otaku", even though I love anime. I think I am a little bit old to be running around screaming "kawaii!!!" at every pretty boy I see.

to stop wasps from annoying you, mix some honey and warm water and put it in a jar in an open spot, they will be attracted by the sweet, nectar like smell and dive in, literally, they will eat and eat and then drown as the honey water sticks up there wings and stops there legs from properly sticking to smooth surfaces. Even if there are other dead wasps in the jar, they will still dive in, the greedy ***** .

In this review, we'll take a look at exactly what this software is capable of and test how well it does what it's supposed to do.
Rank Builder 2.0 Overview

|Backlink Building Software
Once you've made it past a rather arduous purchasing- and signup-process, it's a bit of a surprise to see that Rank Builder installs as six separate programs, rather than a single one. The six programs or modules are: an article submitter, a link wheel builder, a press release submitter, a profile link builder a social bookmarking tool and a video submitter.
Here are the available link targets in a bit more detail:
- 24 Article Directories
- 43 Web 2.0/Linkwheel sites
- 21 Press Release sites
- 1250 Forum Profiles
- 40 Bookmarking sites
- 7 Video sites
- 10 RSS Directories (part of the Link Wheel Builder)
Total number of link targets: 1385
It's possible to add your own list of forums to build profile links from as well.
Rank Builder 2.0 Video
Here's a video showing the software in action. It wouldn't make much sense to demonstrate all of the modules separately, but you'll get a good idea of how the software works and what it does from this brief demonstration:
Rank Builder 2.0 has a few rough edges that didn't leave a very good impression with me. For one thing, the fact that it's split up into six seperate programs is really just an un-welcome complication from the user's standpoint. You have to log in to each of the modules separately and add your configuration details (email account information, decaptcha/deathbycaptcha login) to each module separately. It also limits the capabilities of the software since there is no component stringing all of the modules together, which means that you can't do a full run where you build all types of links all at once, without manual intervention.
Rank Builder doesn't come with a scheduling feature and it likely never will have such a feature, because it's split up into different software components. The user interface is not particularly complicated, but neither is it appealing or intuitive. The fact that each of the modules has a slightly different UI is an added annoyance.
Finally, I also saw some difficulties when running submissions in multiple threads. For some reason, sometimes some of the browser windows Rank Builder opens fail to initialize, which leads to an extremely low success rate for submissions. The only solution I found was to run only one thread at the time, which slows the submission process to a crawl.
As you can probably tell, I wasn't particularly taken with Rank Builder 2.0. The product isn't terrible and it does build links for you, once you've got it all set up. However, from the purchase/signup process to the unintuitive member's area with minimal documentation (either there aren't many tutorials or I just can't find them) to the small issues with the software itself, the whole thing just seems unfinished and rough around the edges.
With alternatives such as Magic Submitter and SEnuke X available, there's no reason to put up with this kind of mediocrity.

CLEVELAND -- Three women who police say were held captive in a Cleveland home for about a decade have issued a video in which they thanked the public for the encouragement and financial support that are allowing them to restart their lives.
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight broke their public silence in the 3-minute, 30-second video posted Monday night on YouTube. They said the support and prayers of family, friends and the public are allowing them to rebuild their lives after what Berry called "this entire ordeal."
The women had gone missing separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16, and 20 years old.
In the video, none of the women had any visible scars of the abuse they said they suffered at the hands of Ariel Castro, who has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment alleging he kidnapped them off the streets and held them captive in his two-story home. They were smiling and appeared upbeat.
Castro, a 52-year-old former bus driver, fathered a 6-year-old daughter with Berry and is accused of starving and punching Knight, causing her to miscarry. He was arrested May 6, shortly after Berry broke through a door at the home and yelled to neighbors for help.
Berry, the only one of the three women whose photographs have appeared publicly since her release, had shorter hair with a blonde streak in it. Knight, who authorities said had been taken captive first, wore glasses, had closely cropped hair and spoke a bit haltingly.
Knight said in the video that she is building a "brand new life."
"I may have been through hell and back, but I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and my head held high," she said, reading from a prepared statement. "I will not let the situation define who I am. I will define the situation. I don't want to be consumed by hatred."
DeJesus' parents, Felix DeJesus and Nancy Ruiz, thanked the public for donations to a fund set up to help the women. In addition, Ruiz encouraged parents with missing loved ones to reach out for assistance. "Count on your neighbors," she said. "Don't be afraid to ask for the help because help is available."
Kathy Joseph, Knight's attorney, said in a statement that the three women wanted to "say thank you to people from Cleveland and across the world, now that two months have passed."
She said they're being recognized in public, "so they decided to put voices and faces to their heartfelt messages."
James Wooley, an attorney for Berry and DeJesus, also issued a statement saying Knight and his clients thank people for the privacy they've been given and do not want to discuss their case with the news media or anyone else.
The video was filmed July 2 and released by a public relations agency on the women's behalf with the cooperation of their lawyers.

Upendra is a Kannada actor, director and writer. He started his career with a wish to become a director, by assisting Kashinath. He then directed & wrote several movies notably Om, A and Upendra. He switched to acting as his films A and Upendra became popular, and now is a popular actor, not just in Kannada cinema but also in Telugu & Tamil. Uppi as he's fondly called, is now back to writing after a long break with his next Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya.
Early Life
Upendra was born in coastal Karnataka, in the little town of Barkur in a poor middle class family.
As a director & writer
It was Upendra's life's ambition to become a director, for which he first sought to assist director Kashinath. He started off as a director with a typical Kashinath style comedy called Tarle Nan Maga in 1992. The film introduced a talented comedian called Jaggesh, it was also a hit. Upendra directed a horror suspense thriller next called Shhh! The film featured his mentor Kashinath and a young producer and actor named Kumar Govind. The movie was a major commercial success, and Upendra finally could come out as an independant director.
His next film was iconic in Kannada cinema - a gangster film called Om featuring Shiv Rajkumar. The movie also had real gangsters in its cast, and packed a powerful message of peace. The movie was a blockbuster, and it started off a trend of macchu movies that continues in Karnataka to this day. With Om, Upendra also introduced a talented actress from Coorg, Prema. Om was also remade into several languages - the Hindi version was called Arjun Pandit and had Sunny Deol essaying Shiv Rajkumar's role. Om is still an extremely popular film, still runs packed houses when released occassionally. Upendra then turned towards an ambitious project of directing an extended version of an old favorite Anta and he called it Operation Anta. The film contained revolutionary ideology - it was about a man fighting evils in society. The film was not successful, it fell prey to a loose screenplay.
Upendra bounced back with a spectacular A in which he made a successful transition to acting. A was again a revolutionary film about exploring deeper meanings of love. The film had outrageous posters, even more outrageous dialogues, a tagline that said Buddhivantarige maatra and a controversial storyline. The plot was of a director falling in love with his lead actress while filming, and then becoming dejected as she leaves him when she becomes successful. But his hatred of women spawned from the rejection is turned topsy-turvy, when he learns that she actually had a genuine reason for rejecting him. Rumors were thick that it was his own story, and the actress in the film was his protege Prema. This only added to the popularity of the film, and it became a blockbuster. Upendra was now hot property.
He next did Swastik, with Raghavendra Rajkumar. The film was patriotic in tone, and suffered from a flawed narration. It, along with Operation Anta is the least discussed Upendra film. After this Upendra came back with a self titled film, a psychological masterpiece that explored the nuances of ego. Upendra acted in this film as well as the unnamed protagonist (or antagonist) Naanu. The film starred three heroines, Damini, Prema and Bollywood girl Raveena Tondon. Naanu, was an arrogant character, bordered on misogyny, and was very insulting to women. There was a lot of criticism heaped on the film, but it was extremely popular with the audience, because of its narration and its catchy dialogues and attained cult status. Upendra was the director's last film, and it is not certain that the star will ever take to direction again. Rumors abounded that Uppi would direct Shiv Rajkumar again in a film, but that has not materialized so far.
Upendra went on to write a controversial film, H2O. The film was about the sensitive Kaveri issue, which Upendra chose to show symbolically through a love triangle between a Kannadiga (Upendra), a Tamilian (Prabhudeva) and their object of affection, Kaveri (Priyanka Trivedi). The film made news for the wrong reasons, such as the excessive use of Tamil in the film, and that Kaveri was slightly more affectionate towards the Tamilians. When it released, it turned out to be a damp squib. The only good thing that came out of it was on a personal level for Upendra - he married actress Priyanka soon after. He later wrote the screenplay and dialogues for the remake Rakta Kanneeru - this was a lot more successful than his H2O. The dialogues again caught the fancy of the movie-goers. Upendra is currently filming Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya for which he has written the script and screenplay.
Upendra has also written lyrics for a number of popular songs mostly for films that he directed or acted in. He also penned the famous Taliban Alla Alla for Puneet Rajkumar's debut film as hero - Appu.
As an Actor
Upendra started his acting career with a bunch of walk on roles notably in his directorial debut Tarle Nan Maga, and Shh!. He made the transition to a full fledged hero with his film A. The audience went crazy about the actor's ability for dialogue delivery, and named him the Real Star. Upendra repeated this feat, this time with more success than with A in the film Upendra. His atrocious and loud dressing and hairstyle in the film was admired and copied by his fan following. Upendra was a huge success, and since then the actor concentrated more on his on screen career. He followed Upendra with a turn in a remake of the Hindi Darr, in which he played Shah Rukh Khan's character. Preetse was successful commercially, and started Upendra's tryst with remakes.
|Error creating thumbnail: File seems to be missing: /home2/anilmpg1/public_html/wiki/images/6/6d/Upendra2.jpg
He did two original films after Preetse, H2O and Nagathihalli's Superstar. Both were commercial failures and both were controversial. H2O created a lot of sensation before it released since it touched upon the Kaveri issue. Superstar was Nagathihalli's take on Nepal's royal family's tragedy in which Upendra played a double role for the first time. Both failed to make any impression on the audience. He appeared in Naanu Naane and Naagarahaavu, both remakes, both of which failed at the box office. He repeated his double role again in Ramu's Hollywood, an ambitious film which got into various troubles. This film also flopped. Upendra recovered from the string of commercial failures with Kutumba and his own Rakta Kanneeru. Kutumba was his first film with the director Naganna with whom he would later work in Gokarna and Gowramma, both hits at the box office.
Upendra had another string of flops, Auto Shankar with Shilpa Shetty, Uppi Dada MBBS and Tandege Takka Maga, before recovering with Indrajit Lankesh's Aishwarya. Aishwarya was a candy floss romance, the kind Upendra was not seen in before. The film changed Uppi's mass image into a classy one. Uppi played an ad-man, romanced the beautiful Deepika Padukone, and wore classy clothes. The film was a moderate success. Then came a bunch of Upendra's worst films - Masti & Parodi. His next notable film was Anatharu, a remake of the Tamil hit Pithamagan in which Uppi let go of his dialogue delivery. The film was appreciated for his performance as the silent gravedigger. The rest of 2007 did not go well for Uppi, his much hyped film with Shiv Rajkumar, Lava Kusha bombed at the box office.
Uppi bounced back in 2008, his only release Buddhivanta was the top box office grosser for the year. Uppi played a womanizing con-man in the film, and his seven get-ups were highly appreciated as were his witty dialogues. Uppi also turned narrator for Puneet Rajkumar's gangster film Vamshi and did an item number for the comedy Mast Maja Madi with twelve heroines. He also made a super hero film, again in a double role - Bhimoos Bang Bang Kids with Ramya, but the film has been delayed for various reasons and will tentatively release in 2009. In 2009, Uppi will also be seen in another remake Dubai Babu where he teams up with Gowramma director Naganna and Shhh! hero Kumar Govind. Also to be released in 2009 is his much awaited return-to-writing film, Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya for which he will be paired opposite Bollywood girl Celina Jaitley.
Other Ventures
Uppi founded an advertising firm called UppiAds. Uppi was also brand ambassador for pint beer by Vijay Mallya's UB Group, in which he famously asked Yella Ok, Cool Drink Yaake? Uppi also owns a resort in the outskirts of Bangalore. He also cheered for the Royal Challengers IPL team along with Ramya. Uppi has also lent his voice to a number of songs the most recent being in Buddhivanta.
Uppi's earlier films like Tarle Nan Maga and Shhh! were influenced heavily by his mentor Kashinath. Tarle Nan Maga was an out and out comedy in the Kashinath style. While Shhh! was a suspense thriller, it still borrowed out of Kashinath's school of narration in that it was filled with double entendre. Uppi broke out of this in Om, his 'first of a kind in Kannada' gangster film. The film was violent, exposed untold secrets about the underworld (the real baddies in the cast helped the reality) and the lead characters had shades of grey. This moral ambiguity continued in his later films - A, Upendra, H2O. The leads characters were all motivated by less than pure thoughts. In A and Upendra, there were themes of hate and that of an inflated sense of self. In an online chat, Upendra quizzed fans about thoughts and thoughtlessness, presumably to use in his next film.
Upendra also invented the idea of whacky titles for his films - Shhh!, Om, A, H2O and the recent Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya. Even the self titled Upendra is not as straight as it seems, Upendra is an amalgamation of the lead character's names - Upendra, Damini, Prema & Raveena Tondon.

An apparatus for supplying aseptic fluids to a field of operation, as in surgery, especially bone surgery, includes a holder for the aseptic fluid which has elastically deformable walls, an outlet pipe which can be connected to the operating field, and a container surrounding the deformable holder to which a controlled supply of pressure fluid can be furnished to regulate the supply of fluid to the point of operation.
1. Apparatus for feeding aseptic fluids to a field of operation comprising a holder for aseptic fluids having elastically deformable walls, an outlet pipe connected to said holder for directing fluid to a field of operation, and means for applying pressure on the outside of such walls, said pressure applying means being adjustable to control the quantity of outflow from the holder, the means for applying pressure including a closed container enclosing the holder and means for supplying a compressible fluid under pressure to said container on the outside of the holder, means for controlling the supply of pressure medium to the container, said outlet pipe including an adjustable throttle valve for controlling the quantity of fluid flowing therethrough per unit of time, the outlet pipe containing a check valve means for permitting flow only in the direction away from the holder and preventing back flow in the outlet pipe, the holder being interchangeably arranged in the container.
2. Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, in which the check valve is mounted in the wall of the container.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an apparatus for supplying aseptic fluid to a field of operation, in which grinding, polishing and/or dupping is carried out, as by drills, cutters, saws and the like, especially for bone surgery.
2. The Prior Art
In grinding, polishing and especially in boring operations on bones there arises an undesirable heating of the tool and the bone as well as the drying of the bone chips in the area of the operation. In order to lead off the heat resulting from a rapid boring operation from the field of operation and to cool the tool as well as to prevent a drying out of the chips, the supplying of fluid cooling medium is desirable.
In dental practice, it is known, for example during drilling, to supply fluid in the form of a water spray to the point of filling for the cooling and washing away of the chips. The medium supplied as well as the equipment for supplying it are not sterile. In this respect, the known arrangements are not suitable for the supply of fluid to the operation field which must be kept sterile. In surgical practice at times the aseptic fluid is supplied with hand sprays to the working field. It is obvious that in this manner there is danger of a local overheating of the bone as well as of the tool and the danger of a drying of the bone chip which can only be overcome very insufficiently.
With consideration of this difficulty the present invention supplies an apparatus with which the supply of cooling medium in the form of an aseptic fluid to the field of operation or work field is possible and an adequate cooling of the tool and the bone at the point of operation is assured and the danger of a drying of the bone chips is effectively avoided.
In solving this problem, the apparatus according to the invention is characterised by a holder for holding the aseptic fluid provided with elastically deformable walls to which a movable conducting pipe leading to the field of operation is connected, from which aseptic fluid can be driven by this pipe through a fluid operating on the walls of the container from the outside, so that a control of the quantity of outflow can be accomplished through control of the pressure exerted on the holder.
In an especially advantageous modification of the invention, the apparatus is characterised in that the holder which contains the aseptic fluid is enclosed in a container which can be influenced from the outside with pressure medium, for instance air pressure, and in this way is itself subjected to an outer supply of pressure medium. This arrangement then contemplates a holder and a container, one within the other, which in a controllable manner are supplied with pressure medium, so that the inner container or holder which holds the aspetic fluid lies under the influence of the pressure medium. Thus aseptic fluid is pressed out of the holder through an outlet pipe connected with the holder.
In a further modification the invention can provide a control means for the supply of the pressure medium and thus of the pressure on the holder which holds the aseptic fluid.
According to additionally important characteristics, the movable outlet passage leading to the working or operation field can be provided with an adjustable throttle valve for the control of the quantity of fluid passing through the passage per unit of time and/or with a sterilizable check valve which permits a flow of fluid only in the direction of the field of operation. Through this arrangement such a check valve is provided to prevent during interruption of the operation any backflow of fluid remaining in the outlet pipe.
Further characteristics, advantages and details of the invention will be clear from the foregoing drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows in schemmatic view in its totality with a means for control of the pressure on the holder which holds the aseptic fluid; and
FIG. 2 is a view on a larger scale than FIG. 1 of the apparatus according to the invention for the supply of aseptic fluid to the field of operation.
The apparatus is especially useful for drilling in bone surgery. The supply of aseptic fluid to the working field is desired in order to prevent the heating of the tool and of the bone as well as the drying of the bone chips.
The form of the invention disclosed consists of an outer receiving container 1 provided with a removable cover 1'. Connected to this container is a connecting tube 2, by which the interior of the container can be supplied with a pressure medium, such as air or water under pressure. The pressure medium for supplying the pressure 1 is supplied from a source of pressure 2', for example a compressor. The supply of pressure medium to the container takes place through a control arrangement connected in the connecting pipe 2, which includes a supply valve 3 and a control valve 4 which are operable by means of a hand or foot switch, not shown. In this way the supply of pressure medium to the interior of the container can be regulated with respect to the quantity and the pressure.
The foregoing outer container 1 contains a holder 5 filled with an aseptic fluid, which is interchangeably arranged in the outer container. As the holder for the aseptic fluid, especially for medicinal purposes, available holders of plastic material are suitable comprising infusion flasks with a physiological salt solution. An outlet pipe for the aseptic fluid is connected to the holder 5, which is composed of two pipes 6 and 7, and a pipe connection 8 which is fluid-tightly but interchangeably arranged in the wall of the outer container 1, in which there may be provided a check valve, which permits flow only towards the field of operation. The interchangeability of the pipe connection 8 is necessary because it must be possible to sterilize every part of the outlet pipe. Pipes used in medicine for infusion are especially suitable for the outlet connection. The end of the pipe 7 remote from the outer container 1 is provided with a regulating adjustable throttle valve 9 and with a metal pipe 10 with a hand piece 11 which is connected to the boring, grinding or cutting tool. This metal pipe 10, which is sterilized like the other parts of the outlet pipe reaches into the immediate neighborhood of the hand or angle piece 11 which carries the tool 12.
The sterile fluid flowing out of the fluid holder 5 passes directly to the field of operation and assures the wetting as well as the cooling of the work tool.
By the supply of the inner space of the container 1 with the pressure medium the sterile fluid contained in the holder 5 is subjected to an outer pressure. During the time of this pressure sterile fluid is forced through the outlet pipe from the inner holder 5, so that the quantity of flow and pressure of the escaping aseptic fluid are determined by the supply of pressure which produces a pressure operation on the holder 5.
In order during a short interruption of the operation to be able to break off any further supply of aseptic fluid to the field of operation for a short time, the construction of the control 3, 4 for the supply of pressure medium is advantageously such that through the corresponding operation of the control means a flow off of the pressure medium from the inside of the outer container 1 takes place and no backflow, or at least a very limited one, takes place of the quantity of fluid in the outlet pipe to the holder 5 for the aseptic fluid.
The prevention of the backflow of fluid in the outlet pipe is also from this stand point of significance in that there can be a movement of fluid to the outlet opening of the metal pipe 10. It is obvious that this possibly unsterile fluid during an interruption of the operation should not be let back into the arrangement which holds the aseptic fluid.
If instead of the measures set forth above or in addition thereto, generally in the outlet stud 8, which is fixed in the wall of the outer container 1, a check valve is provided, which also must be sterilized and which permits flow only in the direction towards the field of operation, so that any backflow of the fluid in the outlet pipe is prevented.
Upon complete exhaustion of the aseptic fluid fed from the holder 5, in a simple way the exchange of the empty holder for a full holder can be accomplished, whereupon a new operation of the apparatus takes place.
The valve 3 thus allows the flow of pressure fluid to the inside of container 1. The valve 4 is an arrangement for opening the inner space of the container 1, so that pressure medium can escape therefrom.
If the inner space of the container 1 is provided with pressure medium through the valve 3 in the pipe 2, aseptic fluid is pressed from the holder 5 by the pressure working out on the outside thereof in accordance with the supply of such pressure medium. In general there is a constant flow of aseptic fluid, and a constant supply of pressure medium. If the progress of the operation is interrupted, and the supply of aseptic fluid must be cut off, the supply of pressure medium to the container 5 must be stopped. This occurs if the valve 4 is open, on which occasion there is no further supply of pressure medium to the space within the container 1 and the pressure medium flows off through the valve 4.
The flow of aseptic fluid, which is furnished by the supply of pressure medium to the container 1 at a substantially constant rate, is dependent on the cross-section of the flow, which can be changed by the throttle valve 9, so that at the point of operation the quantity of fluid supplied per unit of time can be varied.

Much of the income was from a one-time withdrawal from his retirement account so he could buy three Anderson radio stations, the story said.
Ervin's taxable income last year was nearly $400,000 more than his average annual earnings during the previous 10 years, according to income-tax returns he provided The State.
Last year, Ervin earned nearly as much as Republican Gov. Nikki Haley and Democratic challenger Vincent Sheheen combined, $617,598.

The right snorkel for young swimmers
My daughter's swim coach prefers the jr. snorkel for young swimmers because their lung capacity isn't as strong as an older swimmer. My daughter is 12 and we are happy that we ordered the jr. snorkel.

FINIS Jr. Swim Snorkel
The size is just right for my son. He just needs to get used to using it.The mouth piece seems soft which is great but it would be great if I can get mouth piece replacement as standby.
Highly recommended
My son is 9 and needed a snorkel for his swim team. This snorkel is a perfect size for him. He says it is very comfortable to wear while swimming. Excellent quality.
Fenwick, Michigan
Just what we needed
My daughter just turned 9 and needed one for swim team. I wasn't sure about the size, but based on other reviews ordered this one. It's perfect.
Works great!
Wonderful aide for young swimmers. They keep their heads down and swim much longer; eliminating much of the playing from team practice while improving stroke.
Mandeville, LA
generally good, but a little short
My son said he always got water in the tube when he was practicing butterfly in the team. I think it's due to the short tube. The other kids using the non-junior Finis snorkel didn't have this problem.
ON, Canada
Love it!
Wish it had a variety in the colours... everyone at my son's club has the same snorkel.
perfect for 10 year old daughter
works great for daughter's swim practice...
Works well
I am an adult..5"2".. This is working out fine for me.Helping me with better body alignment.
Excellent quality, cheap noseclip
The one-piece plastic nose clip broke as my daughter was trying to get it on for the very first time. Broke right in two before she could even get it on her nose.Otherwise, quality seems very good. Several "training sessions" in the bathtub proved the snorkel could take multiple mishandlings and still perform very well. Except the nose clip, of course.

FINIS is Latin for "The End" or "Finale", and it signifies in the name of this company both the developmental goals that swimmers have and the end that they strive to reach—the finish line. Founded in 1993, FINIS provides highly technical competition suits, training equipment, child water-safety products and high end goggles. Their very popular SwiMP3 water-proof digital media player is revolutionary in its streamlined design, enabling a swimmer to listen to music while practicing laps and other exercises in the pool.
