Abstract: Global positioning systems (GPSs) estimate positions of vehicles based on signals from earth-orbiting satellite transmitters. For accuracy and reliability reasons, these systems have traditionally not be used for critical phases of aircraft navigation and guidance, such as aircraft landings. However, recent years have seen the development of ground-augmented GPS systems for use in automatic landing systems. These augmented systems rely on broadcast correction data to correct positions estimates, or solutions, and thus provide more accurate position solutions. Unfortunately, the conventional methods of measuring accuracy in these augmented systems cannot adequately cope with loss of correction data or satellite signals and thus lead to more aborted landings than acceptable. Accordingly, the inventor devised a ground-augmented GPS system that incorporates a better method for determining the accuracy of its position solution. One exemplary embodiment determines a main position solution and one or more position subsolutions, with the main solution using all broadcast correction data and each subsolution using a respective subset of the correction data. Differences or separations between the main position solution and the subsolution are then used to determine accuracy, or protection, limits for the main position solution. Another embodiment uses Kalman filters to incorporate vehicle motion data into the calculation of the main solution and the subsolutions, enabling the determination of protection limits during periods lost GPS or correction data.

Abstract: Stress in the wall of a pipe (12) is measured using a pig (10) carrying at least one linear array of probes, so that the probes (30) in the array pass in succession over a location on the pipe wall. Each probe (30) comprises an electromagnetic core (32) with two spaced apart electromagnetic poles (34), and a magnetic sensor (36) arranged to sense the reluctance of that part of the magnetic circuit between the poles (34), and an alternating magnetic field is generated in the electromagnet means and consequently in the pipe wall. Successive probes (30) in the array are oriented differently so that the corresponding orientations of the magnetic field in the pipe wall are different. Preferably the probes (30) also include sensors (38) between the two poles (34) to sense magnetic flux perpendicular to the direction of the free space magnetic field between the poles. The signal from the sensor (36) and (38) enable the stress to be determined. Such an array may be used with any long object of ferromagnetic material.

Abstract: The child safety lighter includes a pair of pivoted elements one of which engages a valve stem for moving a valve between closed and opened positions upon pivoting the element by application of thumb pressure to a first finger-engageable surface. The second element includes a second finger-engageable surface extending about the outer periphery of the first surface whereby the two surfaces combined correspond in shape essentially to a typical thumb press pad of a conventional lighter. The second element is independently pivotal against the bias of a spring. Because the first surface area is reduced and located between the second surface and the spark wheel of the lighter, increased force and dexterity is necessary to pivot the first lever to actuate the lighter.

Abstract: An excess pressure release is provided which at injector effect during inflation of an air cushion ensures an under-pressure in a part (23) of a valve chamber. By activating a piston (19), the underpressure retains the excess pressure release in its open position against the force of a spring (11), until a desired counter pressure from the filled air cushion stops the injector effect, whereby the excess pressure release is closed. As a result the air cushion may be inflated at a comparative high pressure and thus in a fast manner. The inflation is stopped automatically and securely, when the desired pressure has been reached in the air cushion.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des procédés qui permettent d'empêcher la reconnaissance des réovirus dans le traitement des maladies prolifératives cellulaires et plus particulièrement des maladies prolifératives cellulaires induites par ras chez les mammifères. Le mammifère peut être un chien, un chat, un mouton, une chèvre, un bovin, un cheval, un cochon, une souris, un homme ou un primate non humain. Le procédé consiste à supprimer ou à inhiber de quelque manière que ce soit le système immunitaire du mammifère et à administrer, simultanément ou ensuite, aux cellules proliférantes une quantité efficace d'au moins un réovirus dans des conditions qui provoquent la lyse substantielle des cellules proliférantes. De manière plus spécifique, ces procédés permettent de traiter des réovirus chez des mammifères atteints d'immunosuppression ou d'immunodéficience pour traiter les maladies prolifératives. L'immunosuppression, l'immunoinhibition ou l'induction de tout autre manière d'un état d'immunodéficience chez un mammifère rend le réovirus plus efficace. Les procédés peuvent comprendre l'élimination sélective des constituants immuns qui peuvent interférer avec l'apport du virus par le système; l'empêchement de la reconnaissance des réovirus par le système immunitaire de l'hôte et l'élimination du virus d'un hôte à immunité supprimée ou à immunité incompétente après le traitement avec le réovirus. Dans une autre forme d'exécution, le ou les réovirus peut/peuvent être administré(s) à un mammifère ayant un système de réponse immunitaire réduit dans des conditions qui produisent la lyse substantielle des cellules proliférantes. L'intégrité des systèmes immunitaires peut être compromise par un ou plusieurs des éléments suivants: une infection par le VIH; une chimiothérapie ou une radiothérapie, dans ce cas il s'agit d'un effet secondaire; par élimination sélective des populations de cellules B et/ou T; par élimination d'anticorps (anticorps antiréovirus ou anticorps de tous types) et autres.

Abstract: A micro-machined absolute pressure sensor and process for making the same. A semiconductor membrane having a welled portion connected to a planar periphery is formed in recess in a silicon substrate through etching and boron diffusion. A dielectric pad is formed on a portion of the planar periphery, and a bonding layer of polysilicon or amorphous silicon is deposited over the semiconductor membrane and the dielectric pad. After an etching process that defines the outline of the semiconductor membrane, the bonding layer is bonded to a nonconductive substrate in a vacuum using electrostatic bonding or wafer bonding, forming a vacuum-sealed reference cavity. A first and a second conductor are disposed on an upper surface of the nonconductive substrate. The first conductor serves as a capacitor plate disposed within the reference cavity and is connected to a transfer lead that passes from the cavity. The transfer lead is electrically isolated from the semiconductor membrane by the dielectric pad. The second conductor is electrically connected to the semiconductor membrane. The semiconductor membrane and the capacitor plate store an electrical charge that varies as a function of the distance between the capacitor plate and the semiconductor membrane. The semiconductor membrane flexes in response to pressure, changing the capacitance and the charge, so as to indicate the pressure of external fluid acting on the semiconductor membrane.

Abstract: This is in the general field of surgical instruments and is specifically a delivery catheter with a flexible, proximally-manipulated hinge or joint region. The inventive catheter may have a balloon region. The catheter may have a shaft of varying flexibility which contains several lumen. The inner, or delivery, lumen generally may be used with a guidewire to access target sites within the body via the flexible, small diameter vessels of the body. The delivery lumen may be also used for placement of occlusive materials, e.g., in an aneurysm. Inflation of the micro-balloon, located near the distal tip of the catheter, is effected using the inflation lumen. The push/pull wire lumen contains a wire, which when manipulated, flexes the catheter's distal tip. The push/pull wire tubing may have a variable thickness to aid in adjusting the degree of flexibility. Moreover, the delivery catheter may be capable of twisting in a helical or corkscrew-like manner for traversing certain vasculature. This may be accomplished by winding the push/pull wire within the catheter and fixedly attaching it. The catheter may further include an entry in the catheter wall to allow for the insertion of a guidewire; this may facilitate the rapid exchange of catheter devices as desired by the user.
