Patent EP-1011451-B1 (EP)
Inventor: DOTEN GREGORY P
IPC: A61B8/06
Filed: 1997-11-07
Granted: 2004-08-11
Abstract: A strobed blood flow meter provides periodic measurements of blood flow velocity or volumetric blood flow over a cardiac cycle at reduced average power consumption, which is advantageous for reducing battery size, and extending device battery life, such as in an implantable application. Continuous wave Doppler, pulsed Doppler, laser Doppler, transit time, electromagnetic flow, and thermal dilution techniques are included. Strobing provides higher level excitation during active periods, which improves signal-to-noise ratio, and provides a low power standby mode during an idle time between active periods. The invention may be used for chronic or acute applications. Doppler or other signals may be telemetered from an implanted portion of the flow meter for further signal processing to extract velocity or volumetric flow. Alternatively, such signal processing is also implanted, such that the velocity signal can be telemetered to an remote monitor.

Abstract: With reference to a method and circuit arrangements, it is described how, using the Chebyshev polynomials, frequency multipliers as well as sine/cosine generators can be constructed in a general-purpose manner, i.e., circuits that are frequently required in telecommunications engineering. A number of Chebyshev modules and various multipliers and adders are realized in an integrated circuit which then carries out a wide range of different functions depending on the external wiring. Disclosed as further functions which can easily be technically realized with such a chip are the synthesis of any desired functions by representing the function by means of a Chebyshev series and the use of Tn(x) as an amplifier with the amplification factor n for sin(nx)≈nx, and odd n.

Abstract: A holder bracket for securing a hand shower to a stationary rod centered on a rod axis has a support body having structure forming a forwardly open seat for the hand shower and formed with a throughgoing laterally closed passage through which the rod passes and, to one side of the axis, with at least one rib bearing radially on the rod. A retaining element mounted on the support body to the other side of the axis bears radially on the rod opposite to the rib. A compressible member engaged between the retaining element and the body presses the element radially against the body and thereby compresses the rod between the element and the rib.

Abstract: Exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalytic reduction with urea or other NOx- reducing reagent are employed to enable good fuel economy and low emissions from diesel and lean-burn gasoline engines. EGR is operated at low-load, as well as when problems are experienced with reagent supply or the SCR unit. The SCR is run at its optimum operating conditions of normal to high load, supplanting the need for EGR. The net effect is a circumvention of the known tradeoff between NOx and poor fuel economy. The novel application of SCR and EGR in combination will provide engines that meet low emissions requirements with existing technology.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a head and trunk movement pattern of a subject includes configuring a plurality of markers to move together with the body of a subject. For each of the plurality of markers, a locus curve in three-dimensional space is detected as a function of time and the locus curve is stored as a data field of a measured data record that is common to the plurality of markers. The movement pattern of the body of the subject is characterized using characteristic variables derived from the measured data record. Reference variables are derived from a stored plurality of reference data records. Each of the characteristic variables is compared with the reference variables derived from the stored reference data records. Each of the characteristic variables is derived from a projection of the locus curve of at least one of the markers onto one of the three datum planes of a Cartesian coordinate system. It is thus possible to interpret the evaluated kinetic pattern and use this information to provide a diagnostic of the basic clinical picture, especially following psychic, psychosomatic and/or neurological disorders.

Abstract: A networked catalog search, retrieval, and information correlation and matching system is disclosed. The system allows suppliers to publish information in electronic catalogs, structure the information in an object oriented representation distributed across a network of computers, for example, the Internet. The system also enables customers to search and retrieve information on products and suppliers which match dynamically specified customer requirements. Through retrieving compliant HTML pages, a search engine forwards retrieved pages to an object oriented database which sorts received information by the information's internal organization structure. By searching the information as stored in the knowledge base, a user may quickly retrieve the stored information as highly tailored to the user's search strategy. Also, additional tools operate on the stored information so as to, inter alia, organize design trades between selected elements where additional design and selection options are provided to each user. Further, the system supports product creation as formed of constituent parts. These products may then be used as parts to be formed into higher level products.

Abstract: In a roofing washer-dispensing and fastener-driving machine (10), which has a fastener-feeding tube (60), a fastener-engaging pawl (100) is mounted operatively to the tube, near its upper end (62). The pawl is pivotable between a normal position wherein the pawl is arranged to engage a fastener dropped into the tube so as to prevent the fastener from dropping through the tube and a pivoted position wherein the pawl is arranged to disengage from the fastener. An elongate rod (110) is arranged to pivot the pawl from the normal position into the pivoted position when the machine is operated. In the same machine, a magazine (40) adapted to hold a stack of such washers is improved so as to have a bridge (200) mounted pivotably to one of two side walls of the magazine and a cover (210) is mounted adjustably to the bridge, so that the cover in an upwardly adjusted position is inserted into the magazine, above a stack of such washers in the magazine, when the bridge spans the side walls and so that the cover is removed from the magazine when the bridge is pivoted to a position wherein the bridge does not span the side walls. The cover is mounted to the bridge via a rod, along which the cover is movable. In the same machine, a shuttle (50) adapted to be reciprocatingly driven is improved so as to have a transverse groove, in which an elongate brace having a pivot pin at each end is filled by fasteners so as to bear against the leading and trailing edges of the groove, and a transverse rib adapted to engage the lowermost washer in a stack in the magazine is defined by a removable element.

Abstract: A magnetic imaging apparatus includes an RF coil in electrical communication with an RF signal generator and a receiver through an interface circuit (E). The signal generator transmits resonance excitation signals at one of at least two resonance frequencies, e.g. the resonance frequencies of hydrogen helium 3, fluorine, phosphorous, carbon, or xenon. During the transmit cycle, PIN diode (30) is forward biased forming a filter at a first resonance frequency, electrically isolating the receiver from first frequency excitation signals. Simultaneously during the transmit cycle, PIN diode (32) is forward biased forming a filter at a second resonance frequency electrically isolating the receiver from second frequency excitation signals. During a receive cycle, the diodes are reverse biased turning both filters into low impedance circuits around the first and second resonance frequencies allowing a received magnetic resonance signal to pass unimpeded from the RF coil to the receiver. <IMAGE>
