Title: Improved burette safety valve
Inventor: BUTTERFIELD ROBERT
IPC: A61M39/28
Filed: 2002-02-01
Granted: 2010-11-02
Abstract: A system for controlling fluid flow through multiple conduits for use in a fluid administration device. The system includes a housing, a cam, and a control element used to move the cam to selectively occlude the conduits. When used with a medical burette, the cam is located between the vent and supply conduits and rotates to alternately occlude one or the other conduits or to leave both conduits patent. A cam lobe occludes the conduits by pressing the conduit against a pressure surface until occlusion is obtained. Depending on the rotational position of the cam, the continuous flow mode, the intermittent flow mode, and the priming mode are all obtained with a single control lever. The housing secures the conduits in predetermined, fixed positions both above and below the contact location of the cam to the conduit. A positive locking device is included to assist in locating the cam in the desired position. A tactile sensation is also provided to the operator by the locking device to indicate that the cam has been placed in the desired location. Clear visual indicators are included on the housing so that the flow mode in which the burette is presently operating can be seen from a distance.

Abstract: Quadrature Amplitude Modulated signals are generated from data bits by using a first Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulator for encoding a first pair of the data bits into one of four carrier signal phases, thereby producing a first QPSK signal. A second QPSK modulator encodes a second pair of the data bits into one of four carrier signal phases, thereby producing a second QPSK signal. The first QPSK signal is amplified to a first power level, and the second QPSK signal is amplified to a second power level. The first and second amplified signals are then combined to produce a signal in which four data bits are encoded. In another aspect of the invention, a new type of modulation, called Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (OQPSK), is used in place of the first and second QPSK modulators, so that an Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM) transmitter is formed.

Abstract: A write-once-read-many (WORM) storage system that employs large-capacity and relatively inexpensive disks in connection with a file system on a file server is pro-vided. The file system contains most or all of the required WORM  functionality so as to impose a minimal footprint on client applications, client operating systems and open protocols if desired. The system is organized around WORM storage volumes that contain files that, when committed to WORM storage, cannot be deleted or modified. Any file path or directory tree structure used to identify the file within the WORM vol-ume is locked and cannot be deleted. In one embodiment, the administrator creates a WORM volume, capable of storing designated WORM files. The client then creates an appropriate WORM file using the appropriate protocol semantics. The file is written to the volume and committed by transitioning the file attributes from a not-read-only to a read-only state. The file system recognizes the persistently stored WORM attribute of any file in a WORM volume as WORM file.  Henceforth, any attempt to modify the file attributes, write to the file, or delete the file, by clients, administrators or other en-tities is rejected and a request denied message is returned to the attempting party.
