Title: Airship and method of operation
Inventor: COLTING HOKAN S
IPC: B64C21/02
Filed: 2002-06-25
Granted: 2010-08-10
Abstract: An airship has a generally spherical shape and has an internal envelope for containing a lifting gas such as Helium or Hydrogen. The airship has a propulsion and control system that permits it to be flown to a desired loitering location, and to be maintained in that location for a period of time. In one embodiment the airship may achieve neutral buoyancy when the internal envelope is as little as 7 % full of lifting gas, and may have a service ceiling of about 60,000 ft. The airship has an equipment module that can include either communications equipment, or monitoring equipment, or both. The airship can be remotely controlled from a ground station. The airship has a solar cell array and electric motors of the propulsion and control system are driven by power obtained from the array. The airship also has an auxiliary power unit that can be used to drive the electric motors. The airship can have a pusher propeller that assists in driving the airship and also moves the point of flow separation of the spherical airship further aft. In one embodiment the airship can be refuelled at altitude to permit extended loitering.

Abstract: An authentication or authorization system to facilitate electronic transactions uses simultaneous or substantially simultaneous communications on two different networks to verify a user's identity. When a user logs (V) onto a site, via the internet, a telephone number (46), either pre-stored or obtained in real time from the visitor (V), where the visitor (V) can be called essentially immediately is used to set up, via the switched telephone network (44) another communication link. Where the user (V) has multiple communication links available, the telephone call is automatically placed via the authentication or authorization software (38) simultaneously while the user (V) is on-line. In the event that the user (V) has only a single communication link, that individual will have to log off temporarily for purposes of receiving the telephone call (46). Confirmatory information is provided via the internet to the user. The automatically placed telephone call (46) requests that the user (V) feed back this confirmatory information for verification purposes. The telephone number which is being called is adjacent to the user's internet terminal. The user's response, via the telephone network (46), can be compared to the originally transmitted confirmatory information to determine whether the authentication or authorization process should go forward.

Abstract: A method for reproducing a scene by a time shift is provided in which. by transferring a bookmark created by one viewer to an other viewer, the other viewer can also see a scene that the one viewer desires to see and the scene that the one viewer desires to see can be seen commonly together with the other viewer. To reproduce a recorded moving picture, a scene worthy of note is accessed by using the bookmark. When moving picture information is recorded, picture recording time of a specified screen region is stored in a manner that picture recording actual time of a desired scene is associated with the bookmark and, when reproduction is made, access is made to the scene based on time between picture recording actual time of the scene and of the specified picture screen region and image information of the specified picture screen.

Abstract: The ventilation interface for sleep apnea therapy interfaces a ventilation device to the patient's airways. The ventilation interface includes a pair of nasal inserts made from flexible, resilient silicone which are oval shaped in cross-section and slightly tapered from a base proximal the ventilation supply to the distal tip end. A bead flange is disposed about the exterior of each insert at the distal end of the insert. In one embodiment, a valve is disposed between the nasal inserts and a source of positive airway pressure, the valve having a rim with a one-way diaphragm pivotally attached to the valve body with an inflatable bladder depending from the rim which seals against an exit port during inspiration and deflates to uncover the exit port on expiration.

Abstract: A roller/damper is configured for use with an associated sliding object such as a drawer that is movable between a first position and a second position along a rail having a rack gear disposed thereon. The roller/damper includes a roller having an outside diameter that is configured for movement slang the rail. A gear hauling is disposed adjacent the roller and has gear teeth formed thereon for engaging the rail rack gear. A damper rotor is positioned in the gear hauling. The roller, gear housing and rotor rotate about a common axis. A damping material is disposed about the damper rotor within the gear housing for damping rotation! of the gear housing relative to the rotor. A shaft extends through the roller, the gear housing and the rotor. The rotor is faced to the shaft and the roller and gear housing are rotational about the shaft independent of one another. The roller rotates as it moves along the associated rail, and when the gear housing, moving along the rail with the roller, engages the rack gear, movement of the roller/damper is dampened by the engagement of the gear housing with the rack gear.

Abstract: A cover assembly for an electrical box including a frame having an opening positionable over the electrical box and a cover selectively positionable over the opening and rotatable between a closed position and an open position. A hinge rotatably secures the cover to the frame and permits rotational and translational movement of the cover relative to the frame. The hinge includes a biasing device for urging the cover toward a first translational direction. A latch including a locking element is disposed between the cover and the frame for retaining the cover in the closed position. The biasing device deflects upon movement of the cover into the closed position and urges the locking element into a retaining position such that the locking element restricts movement of the cover to the open position.

Abstract: A stent or other intraluminal medical device may be constructed utilizing a series of split-bridges interposed between a series of fixed bridges to reduce the likelihood of deformation during stent loading and stent deployment without sacrificing overall stent flexibility. The stent comprises a plurality of hoops interconnected by a plurality of fixed bridges. The stent also comprises a plurality of split-bridges, which only make contact when the stent is subjected to compressive axial loading. The stent may also comprise markers formed from housings integral with the stent and marker inserts having a higher radiopacity than the stent. This design provides for more precise placement and post-procedural visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stem under X-ray fluoroscopy. The housings are formed integral to the stem and the marker inserts are made from a material close in the galvanic series to the stent material and sized to substantially minimize the effect of galvanic corrosion. The housings are also shaped to minimize their impact on the overall profile of the stent.
