Abstract: A sterilizer (20) is provided having a steam filled sterilizer chamber (24) for sterilizer articles placed within the chamber (24). An electronic air valve (186) is provided to control the venting rate of the steam as the steam is vented back to a water reservoir (140) after the articles have been sterilized. The electronic air valve (186) also vents the chamber (24) in a controlled manner during the heat up portion of the sterilization cycle to obtain an optimum saturated steam environment with the chamber (24) for the sterilizing process. The sterilizer (20) has pre-programmed and programmable sterilization cycles. And the drying times of each of these cycles is programmable by a user. The programmable sterilization cycles also provide a programmable vent rate which may be selected by the user to minimize damage to the sterilized articles. A steam condensing coil (200) is associated with the water reservoir (140) to minimize pressure build up within the water reservoir (140). The sterilizer (20) uses sensed pressure within the sterilizer chamber (24) to control heating of the chamber (24) to a predetermined sterilization temperature set point during a sterilization cycle. A motor (114) controls a door lock mechanism to open the door (32) of the sterilizer (20) following the sterilizing portion of the sterilization cycle.

Abstract: A lane departure warning technique that reduces false warnings in the case of intended lane departures is described. In a first step, a first parameter indicative of lane boundary position (130) and a second parameter indicative of a level of vehicle driver alertness are determined. Then, a virtual lane boundary (150) is determined based on the first and second parameters. In a next step the position of the vehicle (100) relative to the virtual lane boundary is determined. An alarm signal is generated in case of an actual or forthcoming crossing of the virtual lane boundary. As the position of the virtual lane boundary is based on the alertness level of the vehicle driver false warnings of attentive drivers can be prevented by intentionally allowing an attentive driver to cross the actual lane boundary. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method to provide to a sender of RTP packets the actual receiver buffer fullness level in a receiver of the RTP packets at a certain time instant represented as remaining playout duration in time. The receiver sends in an RTCP report the sequence number of a selected RTP packet in the receiver buffer and the time difference between the scheduled playout time of this packet and the current time. Based on this timing information, the sender calculates the amount of time it would take for the receiver buffer to empty if the receiver continues to playout at normal speed and no further RTP packets arrive to the receiver buffer. This receiver buffer fullness level information can be used at the sender to adjust the transmission rate and/or nominal playout rate of the RTP packets in order to maintain a targeted receiver buffer fullness level.

Abstract: A drinking and pouring closure includes a spout with a radially downwardly-extending flange for welding into a composite packaging, or a spout with a lower threaded cap molded thereon for screwing onto a bottle thread. A mouth or pouring piece may be plugged onto the spout, which forms a piercing cutter on the inner side of the spout, fitting therein in the form of a nipple. As a result, at least one piercing tip is formed with the lower edge thereof and a cutting edge curving upwardly therefrom at an angle to the nipple rotation axis. The mouth or the pouring sleeve also forms a sleeve on the outer side of the spout, which surrounds the spout. Interlocking guides are molded between the outside of the spout and the inside of the sleeve, which, upon depressing the mouth or pouring piece on the spout, generate a rotation of the mouth or pouring piece on the spout, so that the piercing piece cuts a disc out of the composite or film material and then swings the same downwards.

Abstract: A Catheter Guidance Control and Imaging (CGCI) system whereby a magnetic tip attached to a surgical tool is detected, displayed and influenced positionally so as to allow diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to be performed is described. The tools that can be so equipped include catheters, guidewires, and secondary tools such as lasers and balloons. The magnetic tip performs two functions. First, it allows the position and orientation of the tip to be determined by using a radar system such as, for example, a radar range finder or radar imaging system. Incorporating the radar system allows the CGCI apparatus to detect accurately the position, orientation and rotation of the surgical tool embedded in a patient during surgery. In one embodiment, the image generated by the radar is displayed with the operating room imagery equipment such as, for example, X-ray, Fluoroscopy, Ultrasound, MRI, CAT-Scan, PET-Scan, etc. In one embodiment, the image is synchronized with the aid of fiduciary markers located by a 6-Degrees of Freedom (6-DOF) sensor. The CGCI apparatus combined with the radar and the 6-DOF sensor allows the tool tip to be pulled, pushed, turned, and forcefully held in the desired position by applying an appropriate magnetic field external to the patient's body. A virtual representation of the magnetic tip serves as an operator control. This control possesses a one-to-one positional relationship with the magnetic tip inside the patient's body. Additionally, this control provides tactile feedback to the operator's hands in the appropriate axis or axes if the magnetic tip encounters an obstacle. The output of this control combined with the magnetic tip position and orientation feedback allows a servo system to control the external magnetic field.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing pulp and paper using Rhodophyta, including immersing Rhodophyta in an extraction solvent able to dissolve agar gel for a predetermined time period to dissolve the agar gel in the extraction solvent, reacting the dissolved agar gel with a reaction solvent to be converted into a fiber, curing the fiber using a curing agent, and pulping the cured fiber. The method of the current invention is advantageous because of lower manufacturing costs, due to eliminating the need to purchase wood. Further, the use of chemicals for lignin removal and bleaching drastically decreases, thus preventing environmental contamination. Furthermore, since a final product does not contain harmful chemicals, humans and the environment are not negatively affected.
