A hypodermic needle conically shaped along at least one portion of its length comprising a sharpened beveled end, a threaded portion thereabove for threading said needle into a patient, an internal diameter of increasing size from said beveled end to the other end thereof, and an attachment means for attaching said needle to a receptacle or source.
20. The needle of any of claims 1-6, 7-17 or 16 wherein said internal diameter increases gradually and uniformly.
This invention relates to cannulas and hypodermic needles, and more particularly, to a hypodermic needle having a threaded portion to secure said needle in a body and an enlarged internal diameter for optimized flow rate of liquids passing therethrough.
Needles for application or insertion into an artery, vein or other blood vessel or cavity are utilized for the withdrawal of blood from a blood vessel, or body cavity, and/or the delivery of blood or other fluid to such blood vessel or body cavity. One common usage of such needles is in hemo-dialysis in which blood is removed from a patient, purified and returned to the patent. In dialysis and other medical procedures relating to the injection and/or withdrawal of fluids in the body, it is desirable and generally important to optimize the rate at which the blood or other liquid flows through the needle. The major limitation in the rate of blood flow is the size of the cross-sectional area of the needle, since the tubing used to carry the blood to the dialysis equipment is of significantly greater diameter than the needle. Generally, the larger the cross-sectional area of a needle is throughout its length, the greater the flow rate of the liquid therethrough. In fact, the rate of flow of a liquid through a needle is proportional to the radius (r) of the needle raised to the fourth power and inversely proportional to the length of the needle, according to the Hagen-Poiseuille's equation, set forth
Q=(πr4 ΔP)/(8 μL)
r=radius of conduit
ΔP=pressure gradient
L=length of conduit
μ=constant
The pressure gradient (ΔP) that can safely be applied to the blood is limited by the capacity of the blood cells to withstand the pressure without hemolyzing (rupturing). High negative pressure results in damage to the cell membrane and hemolysis. Therefore, the only means to optimize flow through the needle is to modify the radius and the length of the needle. The length is difficult to modify because of certain inherent factors such as the distance of the target blood vessel to the surface of the skin and the best or preferred angle for inserting the needle into the blood vessel. Therefore, the best and most common parameter of the above equation which is modified to increase the fluid flow through a needle is the radius.
In the case of kidney dialysis, the criticality of the rate of blood flow for dialysis patients can be better understood when it is considered that each adult kidney patient requiring dialysis must receive dialysis treatment three times a week for his or her life, and each such treatment requires typically approximately four hours to complete. Thus, ignoring other factors, according to Poiseuille's equation, the doubling of the internal diameter of a needle throughout its length would result in a sixteen-fold increase in the rate of blood flow, which, in turn, would result in a sixteen-fold time reduction for each dialysis treatment. Accordingly, a reduction in treatment time, in turn, would reduce the cost of dialysis treatment substantially. Even a 10 percent increase in needle diameter results in approximately a 46 percent (1.14) increase in flow rate. Prior art dialysis needles have an internal diameter in the range of approximately 1.6 to 2.2 mm (generally, 16 gauge needles are used), which is generally larger than those used for hypodermic injections. Such needles are also generally manufactured with ultrathin wall thicknesses of 0.05 to 0.1 mm to obtain the smallest possible outer diameter with the greatest possible inner diameter.
Of course, there are inherent problems involved with using needles having particularly large cross-sectional diameters (e.g. large gauge needles). For example, large gauge needles tend to be more painful to a patient than smaller needles. Also, the larger puncture wound caused by a large gauge needle requires greater healing time. Further, larger gauge needles have a greater risk of infection as a result of the aforementioned larger hole and longer healing time. There is also a psychological factor involved, in that persons who are afraid of needles tend to have a greater fear of larger gauge needles.
Further, in this connection, it is also known that skin and blood vessels are flexible and elastic and can stretch to some degree when stretched at a reasonably slow rate. Needles used for dialysis, except for the beveled point used to cut a hole in the skin and blood vessel, are substantially of a uniform diameter throughout their length. Thus, prior art needles do not effectively rely on the ability of the skin and blood vessel to stretch to permit the insertion of a needle of relatively large diameter into a relatively small hole, but instead, cut a relatively large hole.
In addition, prior art needles, particularly those intended to remain in place for extended periods of time, have certain inherent problems with respect to their ability to remain fixed in place when inserted in the intended blood vessel or body cavity. In particular, such needles must be held in place by adhesive or other securing means; otherwise, the needle is easily displaced because the smooth sides thereof do not create enough resistance to be held in place.
The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art needles, providing a needle having a large internal diameter capable of being inserted into a blood vessel without puncturing a large hole in the skin and blood vessel or body cavity, which needle is securely disposed in a predetermined area.
The present invention comprises a needle for insertion into a blood vessel, body organ, body cavity and the like, having a pointed or sharpened puncturing member which creates a small hole in the skin, blood vessel or other internal tissue, thereby allowing a larger diameter threaded conical member to be threaded therein, thus stretching rather than cutting or tearing a hole in the patient. The inner diameter of the needle is enlarged even more when the puncturing member is removed, leaving only a short portion with relatively narrow diameter, the majority of the length of the needle having a substantially larger internal diameter than any prior art needle.
The invented needle comprises a hollow or solid trocar, said trocar having a sharpened point or bevel on one end thereof, and a conically shaped cannula disposed tightly around the trocar and removably attached thereto. The sharpened end of the trocar extends past the end of the cannula. The cannula is externally threaded near its end adjacent the trocar sharpened end so that it can be screwed into the skin and blood vessel, or other tissue without excessively enlarging the hole by insertion thereof. The end of the cannula is blunt and flexible to prevent damage to the tissue, vessel or organ in which it is placed, and to permit the cannula to bend in line with the vessel. The cannula may also include holes along its end to increase the fluid flow therein.
The trocar is removably attached to and preferably screwed into the cannula. If the trocar is hollow, a cap may be provided thereon to prevent leakage of blood therethrough after the needle is inserted into a blood vessel, until the trocar is removed from the cannula. With a hollow trocar, the ends of the cannula and trocar, respectively, opposite the sharpened end are preferably translucent or transparent so that when the device is properly inserted in its predetermined target area, such as a blood vessel, the user can observe blood flowing into the neck of the device to insure that the needle has been properly placed. This transparent region is preferably formed of flexible material so that it can be clamped to prevent fluid flow therethrough until the tubing or other receptacle is attached to the end of the needle.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the needle is conically shaped and hollow with a sharpened beveled end and threads on the exterior surface thereof. In this embodiment, there is no trocar, and the sharpened end of the cannula serves the same purpose. This embodiment has the advantages of having a larger diameter throughout the majority of its length so that an increased fluid flow capacity can be achieved relative to a standard, smooth, bare cylindrical needle. In addition, the threaded portion of the needle is held in place by the threads so that cumbersome procedures for securing the needle in place may be relaxed. Moreover, the threaded conical shape of the needle enables the user to puncture a small hole which can be stretched into a larger hole, rather than puncturing a larger hole to accommodate the large diameter of the conical needle.
In yet another embodiment, a needle having a substantially uniform cross-section through its length, with threads on the exterior surface thereof to facilitate insertion into the body is described. This embodiment can be provided with or without a trocar. Of course, if no trocar is provided, the end of the device comprises a sharpened beveled end for insertion directly into the body.
In use, to insert the invented needle into a blood vessel, body organ, body cavity, or the like, or a human or animal patient, first, the tip of the trocar is inserted up to the external threads on the cannula. The user can detect when the trocar tip is inserted into the blood vessel by observing the flow of blood into the needle through the transparent portion thereof.
In the second step the cannula is screwed into the blood vessel, body cavity or organ, or the like, over the trocar. In this manner, the skin and blood vessel surrounding the needle are stretched, rather than torn or cut by the cannula having a larger outer diameter than the trocar. Simultaneously with the threading of the cannula into the intended location, the trocar is removed therefrom so that it does not puncture a hole in the side of the blood vessel opposite the point of entry. In the preferred embodiment, the trocar is screwed out of the cannula as the cannula is screwed into the blood vessel. In this way an internal diameter of the cannula, which is greater than that of the trocar, is freely exposed.
The larger internal cross-sectional area of the cannula allows the blood or other fluid to flow at a faster rate than smaller conventional hypodermic or dialysis needles. Moreover, the hole actually cut by the invented needle is the same size or smaller than that of the prior art needles. When the dialysis or other treatment is completed, the cannula can be screwed out, and the skin and blood vessel around the hole are permitted to relax thereby partially closing up the hole.
FIG. 1 shows a patient with the invented needle disposed in his arm.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the invented needle disposed in a blood vessel.
FIG. 3 illustrates the invented needle with the cannula fully disposed in the blood vessel and the trocar partially removed from the cannula.
FIG. 4 illustrates the invented needle with the trocar fully removed from the cannula.
The invented needle can be used for dialysis, blood transfusions, blood donations, intravenous feeding, femoral artery and vein catheterization, peritoneal dialysis, and any other medical intravenous or other fluid transfer applications in which the rate of liquid flow into or out of the body of a patient should be optimized.
In FIG. 1, a patient is shown with the invented needle 10 inserted into his arm and a tube 12 for providing liquid communication to a liquid source or receptacle, such as dialysis equipment, IV supply bottles, a blood or fluid collection receptacle and the like, which may be attached to the tube 12.
As described herein, the present invention can be used for any of the above-identified purposes. Although the following description generally refers to its use in connection with withdrawal of blood from a blood vessel, it will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the present invention can be applied in any medical applications environment to obtain the desired results.
As shown in FIG. 2, one embodiment of the invented needle 10 is shown disposed through the skin 15 and into the interior of a blood vessel 17. The needle 10 has two primary components, namely, a trocar 14 and a cannula 16. The trocar 14 may be either hollow or solid and, as shown in FIG. 2, the trocar is similar to a hollow needle, such as a standard hypodermic needle. A pointed tip 18 of the trocar 14 extends below the end 20 of the cannula 16 a sufficient distance so that when the tip 18 is inserted into the blood vessel 17, only the unthreaded end 20 of the cannula 16 will have penetrated the skin 15.
With respect to the conical shape of the cannula 16, particularly with respect to the threads 22 thereon, it is important to note that the threads 22 should be equidistantly spaced apart, notwithstanding the changing diameter of the cannula 16. This spatial arrangement of the threads insures that the cannula can be evenly and fully screwed in without cross-threading. The end 20 of the cannula is preferably blunt to avoid injury to the blood vessel or other tissue in which the needle is inserted. Particularly with respect to blood vessels, there is a concern that if end 20 is not sufficiently blunt, it may injure or pass completely through the vessel causing a hematoma so that it cannot draw blood therefrom or otherwise deposit fluid into the blood stream.
The end 20 including the threads 22 of the cannula is preferably made of flexible material to further prevent injury to the blood vessel, and, in addition, to permit the cannula 16 to bend in the direction of the blood vessel. In this way, the cannula 16 can be inserted down stream or upstream in the blood vessel to perform a catherization, or simply to secure the cannula in the blood vessel. The threaded portion 22 can be shorter or longer then that depicted in the drawings, and can have portions which are conically shaped and/or cylindrical through its length, as required, to achieve the desired result. In addition, the cannula 16 may have apertures 21 therealong to increase the number of potential fluid pathways to decrease the resistance to flow. Without apertures 21, the only entry or exit point for fluid into the cannula 16 is through end 20 thereof. However, with apertures 21 disposed in cannula 16 along the portion thereof disposed in the blood vessel 17 or other fluid filled target area, the blood can flow through the apertures 21 thereby providing additional volume to permit blood flow therethrough.
The trocar 14 is attached to the cannula 16 by a coupling means which can reversibly couple and uncouple the trocar 14 from the cannula 16. In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the middle portion of the trocar 14 comprises externally disposed threads 24 and the middle portion of the cannula 16 comprises internally disposed threads 26. The cannula threads 26 preferably mate tightly with the trocar threads 24, forming a substantially fluid tight seal so that there is no blood leakage past the threads.
Above the trocar threads 24 is a neck portion 28 extending up to the end 30 of the cannula 16. In the preferred embodiment, a gripping means 32 is attached to the end 36 of the trocar 14. In use, the gripping means 32 is used to facilitate gripping the trocar 14 to screw it out of the cannula 16. If the trocar is hollow, both the trocar neck portion 28 and the cannula neck 38 are preferably translucent or transparent so that the user can observe when blood or other fluid flows therein. In this way, when the user is inserting the needle in a blood vessel, blood will appear in the neck portion when the needle is properly inserted in the vessel. Preferably, the cannula neck portion 38 is flexible so that it can be clamped to prevent blood flow therethrough after the trocar 14 is removed from within the cannula 16.
Also in the preferred embodiment, if the trocar is hollow, a cap 34 is disposed over the end 36 thereof to prevent blood leakage therefrom before the tube 12 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the proximal end 30 of the cannula 16.
The inside diameter of the cannula 16 at distal end 20 is approximately equal to the outside diameter of the trocar 14 and thus, the smallest interior diameter of the cannula 16 is substantially relatively larger than the internal diameter of the trocar 14 or other standard dialysis needle. However, as one skilled in the art will readily recognize, the present invention is not deemed to be limited in any way by the preferred diameter size ranges set forth herein.
The end 20 of the cannula 16 is relatively tightly sealed against the tip 18 of the trocar 14 so that the cannula can fit into the hole made by the trocar. In this configuration, minimal trauma is caused to the skin, tissue and blood vessels when the cannula is inserted therein. However, the cannula end 20 does not so tightly engage the trocar end 18 that the trocar 14 cannot be removed from cannula 16. In the preferred embodiment, the ridge 19 or step between the trocar 14 and cannula 16 is as small as possible so as to minimize the trauma caused by insertion of the cannula 16 through the skin 15 and blood vessel 17. The ridge 19 is smooth and flexible while the threaded portion 22 is increasingly stiff in comparison, to permit the cannula to be threaded into the blood vessel.
The externally threaded portion 22 of the cannula 16 permits the cannula 16 to be threaded into the hole in the skin 15 and blood vessel 17 without having to enlarge the hole substantially. Once the needle 10 is inserted into the patient up to the end 20 of the cannula, the cannula is screwed into the skin 15 and the blood vessel 17, as shown in FIG. 3. A gripping means 40 is provided to hold and rotate the cannula 16 with respect to the trocar 14 and also with respect to the patient.
The upper portion of the cannula has a neck portion 38, above which is the end 30 which is preferably flared so that it can accommodate the trocar gripping means 32. The cannula neck portion 38 is also formed to securely hold tubes, catheters, syringes, and the like, to be attached to the needle 10. Preferably, a Luer-lock type of fastener is attached to permit fast, secure and standard attachment to syringes, tubing and the like.
In another embodiment, the invented needle has a beveled sharpened edge and a threaded portion thereabove, with the general shape of the needle being conical. However in this embodiment, a trocar is not provided. Instead, end 20 of the cannula is beveled and sharpened to cut through the skin and into the blood vessel or body cavity. This embodiment has the advantages over prior art needles of greater liquid flow rate because of the conical shape. Of course, it is not essential that the entire length of the needle be conically shaped, and it is contemplated that a portion of the length of said needle be cylindrically shaped. As described above, the threads permit easy, less painful insertion of the needle in the patient, allowing the skin and blood vessels to stretch rather than puncturing a lage hole therethrough. Moreover, the threads assist in securing the device in the patient by providing resistance to the needle being forced out. In order for the needle to be forced out, either the skin or other tissue through which the needle is disposed must be stretched over the thread, or the needle must rotate to thread itself out of the hold. This is in contrast to smooth wall cylindrical needles which need only slide directly out of the hole.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the needle is cylindrical and threaded. This embodiment has all the advantages of the threaded needle without the particular advantages of increased fluid flow rate.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the trocar is solid and pointed, and threaded along its exposed length. The cannula surrounds the trocar, and is also threaded, as described in the above first embodiment. This embodiment is contemplated as being particularly useful for peritoneal dialysis in which a cannula is disposed through the fascia, a very tough membrane overlying the peritoneal cavity, and fluid is pumped into the cavity and then removed therefrom. In this application, it is very difficult to force the cannula through the fascia, and great force must be applied thereto when using prior art needles. However, using this embodiment, the needle can be effectively and efficiently screwed into the fascia, without the effort of puncturing the same by direct pressure.
In operation, as shown in FIG. 2, the trocar 14 is inserted through the skin 15 and into the blood vessel 17 until the cannula threads 22 are adjacent the skin 15. At that point, the cannula 16 is rotated using the cannula grip means 40 thereby screwing the cannula 16 through the skin 15 and into the blood vessel 17. Simultaneously with rotaing the cannula 16, the trocar 14 is held stationary so that it is not inserted into the blood vessel any further than originally disposed in the initial insertion shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 3, trocar neck 28a is exposed outside the cannula end 30a. In this position, trocar tip 18a is approximately in the same position with respect to blood vessel 17a as trocar tip 18 is to blood vessel 17 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 3 illustrates the position of the elements of the invented needle 10 after the cannula 16a is fully inserted in the blood vessel 17a and the trocar 14a is partially retracted from the cannula 16a. The alphanumeric designation "a" in FIG. 3 indicates the position of each of the aforementioned elements after cannula 16a is inserted and trocar 14a is partially retracted. It should particularly be noted that although as shown in FIG. 3, the cannula external threads 22a are screwed into the skin 15a all the way so that ridge 46a of grip means 40a is adjacent the skin, in practice, the actual distance of insertion of the cannula depends on various medical considerations generally known in the art, such as the depth of the blood vessel beneath the skin and the desired angle of penetration.
FIG. 4 illustrates the invented needle 10b in use with the trocar (not shown) fully removed. The alphanumeric designation "b" in FIG. 4 indicates each of the aforementioned elements in position at this stage of operation of the present invention. The invention as shown allows for maximum blood flow therethrough. A full and completely clear channel has been created within cannula 16b, the narrowest portion thereof being the cannula tip 20b. The inside diameter of the cannula 16 is at least slightly larger than the outside diameter of the trocar 14. The present invention permits a much greater blood flow through the needle 10 than prior art needles, which are generally only the size of the trocar, or smaller and are cylindrically shaped, rather than conical. Moreover, the fact that the cannula is screwed into the skin and blood vessel rather than having it punched in allows the cannula to be of substantially larger diameter than a standard dialysis needle.
It is anticipated that blood flow in the range of 500 to 1,000 milliliters per minute can be obtained using the invented needle as compared with a flow rate of 200 to 300 milliliters per minute for a prior art dialysis needle. Accordingly, the time required for dialysis treatment of an adult is reduced from 4 hours per treatment using a prior art needle to approximately 11/2 to 2 hours for a complete dialysis treatment using the present invention.
Also, as shown in FIG. 4, tube 12b is attached with a conical end (Luer-lock) to the end 32b or cannula 16b. When the medical procedure is terminated, the invented needle 10b is removed from the patient. To accomplish removal, the needle 10b is rotated, thereby screwing it out of the blood vessel 17b and skin 15b. Generally known medical procedures are then utilized to stop the bleeding.
It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that many modifications can be made to the present invention as described herein without departing from the nature and scope thereof. The sizes and relative distances presented are for illustration purposes and should not be construed to limit the scope of the invention. The steps in the operation of the present invention illustrate the preferred method of the inventor and are not, in any way, intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

Mr Nuttall said the debate was overdue as there was "enormous public demand" for people to have their say on the issue of Europe."I believe that a referendum along these lines would allow the public to make clear their views about our current membership of the European Union," he said."It is 36 years since we last held a referendum and our relationship with what was then known as the Common Market and the European Union has changed out of all recognition."No 10 have indicated that all Conservative MPs will be expected to support the government in rejecting the referendum option - the coalition agreement commits the UK to being a "positive participant in the European Union" .The prime minister's spokesman said: "I imagine we will establish the whipping arrangements nearer the time but we have a very clear policy on that and that is set out in the coalition agreement."We would expect MPs and ministers to follow the government's policy."But Eurosceptic Conservative MP Bill Cash said it should be for Parliament to decide on the issue and the "national interest" should override the coalition agreement.BBC Parliamentary correspondent Mark D'Arcy said about 50 Conservative MPs could support the referendum call, which would mean Labour's approach to it "could turn out to be less academic than the normal Opposition line".Labour says a referendum would be a "distraction" for the UK at a time when British business needs all the inward investment and export opportunities that they can get. A spokesman said: "Britain should be focused on creating the jobs and growth we desperately need, not cutting ourselves off from major export markets that British jobs depend on."Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, said the debate was "a good start... but with all party leaders demanding that their MPs reject the motion I hold out little hope of a yes vote"."The real debate is going on out there in the country, in people's homes, businesses and pubs. We know from many polls that a vast majority of people want this referendum, we learn next week how many of the MPs have the courage to support their constituents."A petition signed by more than 100,000 people, including Conservative and Labour MPs, calling for a referendum was handed into Downing Street last month.

text: Fall Camp Preview: Special TeamsBenjamin Worgull08/09/2010As the calendar turns to August, the countdown to Wisconsin's 2010 football season has officially begun. Between now and the start of camp on August 9th, Badger Nation will extensively breakdown every position. Today, we finish our series with the special teams, a group of players that everyone expects to step up their performance in 2010. MADISON - Members of Wisconsin's special teams units got an up-close and personal look at what good special teams play can do for a program. Standing on the sidelines in Orlando, Florida, Badgers punter Brad Nortman watched Florida State's Graham Gano punt five times in the 2008 Champs Sports Bowl and put four inside the 20-yard line. His first three punts in the first quarter all landed inside the three-yard line, momentum that was major in the game and earned him the game's most valuable player award. "He set the bar pretty high for punters everywhere," Norman said. "I wanted to have a season like that." Nortman joins fellow junior kicker Philip Welch as returning three-year starters into a Wisconsin special teams unit that doesn't have much change over, but needs a makeover. Nortman improved as his season wore on. He averaged 42 yards per punt last season, ranking third in the conference, putting 17 of his 49 punts inside the 20-yard line and booted nine longer than 50 yards. More importantly, Garo's performance evidently inspired Nortman. In the 09 Champs Bowl, Nortman landed three of his five punts inside the 20 and pounded one 57 yards, helping set up UW's first score. After spending the offseason improving his steps and his techniques, Nortman, who will have the comfort of working against with junior long snapper Kyle Wojta, is poised for another solid season. Wotja will also hopefully help push Welch back to the more consistent approach he had his freshman season. After making 20-of-24 attempts (83.3 percent), Welch finished the season 17-of-24 (70.8 percent) on field goal attempts and made 47 of 49 PATs, finishing third overall in the conference in scoring. Welch missed his first three attempts of the season, but came back with a 57-yard kick against Fresno State, the longest in Camp Randall Stadium history and second longest in school history, and the game-winning boot in double overtime. Still, the thoughts that linger are the 33-yard miss against Ohio State and the 38-yard miss against Iowa, the latter of which changed the complexion of the contest. Fans also don't remember Welch making nine of his last 10 attempts as much as missing two kicks in Hawaii, getting replaced by linebacker Chris Borland, who kicked the last three PATs. Things didn't get easier on Welch when the Badgers switched to the Wilson GST football, a ball he was not shy about criticizing. Welch silenced his own doubts when he split the uprights on four straight kicks in the spring game, making from 27, 33, 41 and 47 yards. "I have been hitting it pretty good and I guess getting back into it, gaining some more confidence," Welch said. "I have changed my form a lot because we changed balls. If I mess up at all, the ball doesn't go anywhere. I've had to really go back to the basics. I can't kick the ball as far, but my accuracy has really increased." On kickoffs, Welch averaged 65.5 yards per kick, and 12 of his 79 kicks were touchbacks, a marked improvement over his freshman year when he averaged 62.6 yards and had five touchbacks. That improvement was under Head Coach Bret Bielema. Now Welch will have a new special teams coach. Defensive Line Coach Charlie Partridge, who Bielema originally wanted to name special teams coordinator when he first hired him, felt comfortable with the status of the defensive line to run both punt and kickoff coverage. New Secondary Coach Chris Ash will handle punt return and punt block unit while Tight End Coach Joe Rudolph will handle kickoff return. Greg Jackson was originally slated to handle that role, but Bielema wanted to get his new assistant time to get acclimated to the program. Jackson will help on all four units while Bielema had no qualms about giving more work to Rudolph. "He's one the rising stars in this profession," Bielema said of Rudolph. "To give him something that allows him to take a coordinator-type of position and to see what he does with it … I am not oblivious to the fact that Paul Chryst is a very good coach and I have to prepare for the unexpected. I want to see what Joe does in that type of situation." Rudolph will have his hands full, as the Badgers ranked tenth in the conference in kickoff returns with a 19.2-yard average, a number that wide receiver David Gilreath takes personally. Although he finally got the monkey off his back by returning a 68-yard punt for a touchdown against Northwestern, Gilreath's struggles were well documented. On kickoffs, Gilreath averaged only 23.7 yards per return. On punts, he could only manage 5.6 yards. Take away that 68-yard return and Gilreath only managed 1.97 yards per return on his punts, numbers that have to change to make Wisconsin a better team. The likely scenario In terms of the punter and kicker, expect Nortman and Welch, respectively, to handle the starting job for the third straight season. Even so, keep your eye on incoming Menomonee Falls kicker Kyle French. Although signed as a preferred walk-on, Bielema told French that he would be on scholarship every year he was the starting kicker. Competing for a chance at full playing time and money is surely motivating. Gilreath will probably be given a shot to return kicks one more time, seeing as he has the most experience. If he falters, expect senior Isaac Anderson or junior Nick Toon to have a look, as both were put on the kickoff unit last season and fielded punts during spring practice.

Nuclear Energy
May 10, 2010

Define nuclear energy, fission, radiation, and nuclear waste
Identify the most common nuclear fuels
Describe the 2 major nuclear power accidents in history
Objectives

Nuclear Energy: energy contained in the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear energy comes from unstable particles like uranium or plutonium
Fission: atoms being split apart to gain their energy
“Fission is Division”
Radiation: dangerous rays produced by splitting atoms
Where does nuclear energy come from?

Nuclear reactions give off a large amount of heat
The heat turns water into steam
Steam turns turbines to produce electricity
Materials that are used for nuclear reactions decay from the uranium or plutonium to produce nuclear waste
How does it make electricity?

The US gets 19% of its electrical power from nuclear power
The world uses 366 GW of power from nuclear energy
1 Gigawatt (GW) equal 1,000 Megawatts (MW)
The state of PA gets 9,195 MW of power from nuclear energy
How much power can we get?

There have only been 2 accidents worldwide with nuclear power
Three Mile Island, Dauphin County, PA
Chernobyl, Pripyat, Ukraine
Accidents with Nuclear Power

A valve that contained water with uranium in it was stuck open
Allowed large amounts of uranium out of the nuclear power plant
Resulted in evacuations and new regulations for nuclear power plants to follow
What happened at 3 Mile Island?

A loss of power in one of the reactors caused 2 explosions: a steam explosion and a hydrogen gas explosion
Nuclear particles were thrown all over and the entire surrounding area had to be evacuated
56 people died as a result of the accident
What happened at Chernobyl?

Disadvantages
Nuclear energy has only resulted in 2 major accidents worldwide
Nuclear materials (uranium, plutonium) are non-renewable resources
The only way to use nuclear materials is by using fossil fuels
Advantages
It is only responsible for a fraction of the deaths as compared to coal mining
Nuclear energy does not pollute the air
Large amount of energy from small amounts of materials
Advantages and Disadvantages

Some people believe that nuclear power will replace power from fossil fuels
The US government receives more and more applications for building nuclear power plants each year
Challenge will be to store used fuel
Proposed to store all waste at Yucca Mountain in Nevada
Future of Nuclear Power

c# - Moq testing void method - Stack Overflow
Hi I am new to Moq testing and having hard time to do a simple assertion. I am using an interface  Public interface IAdd
Moq for IAdd interface is       Mock<IAdd> mockadd=new Mock<IAdd>();
mockadd.Setup(x=>x.add(It.IsAny<int>(), It.IsAny<int>()).callback((int a, int  b)=>{ a+b;});
IAdd testing=mockadd.Object;
Since add method is void, it doesn't return any value to Assert with. How can I assert this setup? c# unit-testing nunit moq share|improve this question asked Feb 25 '13 at 7:56
2 What are you trying to test?
I am trying to test that add method but it doesn't have any return type. If it had int as return type, I would be testing Assert.AreEqual(mockadd.add(2,2), 4); But without return type how do I test the add method.
2 1. It makes no sense to test an interface (or a mock implementation). 2. If you have a class that computes something, you may want to make the result available somehow (either via return value or some property on that object)
Better to provide more context, but typically it used like this:
var mockAdd = new Mock<IAdd>();
mockAdd.Setup(x => x.Add(1, 2)).Verifiable();
//do something here what is using mockAdd.Add
mockAdd.VerifyAll();

Why mocking is used? It used for verifying that SUT (system under test) interacts correctly with its dependencies (which should be mocked). Correct interaction means calling correct dependency members with correct parameters.
You should never assert on value returned by mock. That is dummy value which has no relation to production code. The only value you should assert on is a value returned by SUT. SUT is the only thing you should write assertions for.
Also you should never test interfaces. Because there is nothing to test. Interface is just a API description. It has no implementation. So, stop and think about what code are you testing here? Is this is a real code, which executed in your application?
So, you should mock IAdd interface only for testing object which uses IAdd interface.
