Abstract: A programming device used to program an implantable neurostimulator (INS) presents battery longevity information to a user to assist the user in selecting a program for the INS. The programming device directs the INS to deliver neurostimulation therapy according to a plurality of programs during a programming session. Each of the programs includes parameters that define the neurostimulation delivered according to that program. For example, each program may include as parameters a voltage or current pulse amplitude, a pulse width, a pulse rate, and a duty cycle. The program may also identify as parameters the electrodes selected from a set coupled to the INS and their polarities, e.g., anode or cathode, for delivery of neurostimulation according to that program. The programming device estimates battery drain rates for each of the programs tested during the programming session based on the parameters for that program, and presents battery longevity information to a user based on the estimated battery drain rates.

Abstract: A torque transfer mechanism is provided for controlling the magnitude of a clutch engagement force exerted on a multiplate clutch assembly (80) that is operably disposed between a first rotary member (32) and a second rotary member (42). The torque transfer mechanism includes a clutch actuator assembly (82) for generating and applying a clutch engagement force on the clutch assembly. The clutch actuator assembly includes an electric motor/brake unit (110), a torque/force conversion mechanism (112), and a force amplification mechanism (114). The motor/brake unit (110) can be operated in either of a motor mode or a brake mode to cause bi-directional linear movement of an output member of the torque/force conversion mechanism (112). The thrust force generated by the torque/force conversion mechanism (112) is increased by the force amplification mechanism (114) with the resultant clutch engagement force applied to the clutch assembly (80). The dual mode feature of the electric motor/brake unit (110) significantly reduces the system power requirements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A decorated luminary product includes a candle holder (10) containing a candle (20,30), wherein at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the candle holder (10) has a hammered texture such that light passing through the candle holder (10) varies substantially as a result of variation of refraction of the light. A decorative web (40) of a heat-shrinkable polymer may be heat shrunk to conform to the outer surface of the candle holder (10). The web (40) is decorated with an ink or pigmentation to cooperate with light and/or heat emitted by burning the candle (20,30), so as to provide a pleasing visual effect when the candle is burned, while the hammered texture of the candle holder (10) causes variations in the refraction of light emitted from the candle, causing further visual effects. The refraction of light caused by the hammered texture of the candle holder (10) also provides aesthetically pleasing effects when the candle (20,30) is unlit, due to variations in the image on the web resulting from variation in the light observed passing through the candle holder. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Passive water management techniques are provided in an air-breathing direct oxidation fuel cell system. A highly hydrophobic component with sub-micrometer wide pores is laminated to the catalyzed membrane electrolyte on the cathode side. This component blocks liquid water from traveling out of the cathode and instead causes the water to be driven through the polymer membrane electrolyte to the cell anode. The air-breathing direct oxidation fuel cell also includes a layer of cathode backing and additional cathode filter components on an exterior aspect of the cell cathode which lessen the water vapor escape rate from the cell cathode. The combination of the well laminated hydrophobic microporous layer, the thicker backing and the added filter layer, together defines a cathode structure of unique water management capacity, that enables to operate a DMFC with direct, controlled rate supply of neat (100%) methanol, without the need for any external supply or pumping of water. The cell anode is provided with a hydrophilic backing layer. When the water is driven through the polymer membrane electrolyte from the cell cathode to the cell anode chamber, it is available for the anodic reaction, and any excess water is carried out along CO2 ventilation channels to the outside environment.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for adding network entities and appliances to a mobile wireless Internet. A graphical user interface on a user appliance or network entity is used to start a plug and play process. In the plug and play process a temporary EP address is assigned to the entity or appliance. The temporary address is tested for uniqueness. A search mechanism identifies and contacts a plug server that uses information from the user/operator to authenticate the user and/or validate subscription information. Upon authentication or validation the plug server dispatches an inspector agent to determine the software needs of the new entity or appliance. The plug server obtains the requested software from the software inventory and the inspector agent downloads the software onto the new entity or appliance and installs it therein. The element then uses the DRCP/DHCP client to obtain a new IP address. Link layer and topology information are selected and downloaded to the entity or appliance and the unit is plugged into the network for mobile wireless Internet access.
