Title: Browser based command and control home network
Inventor: HUMPLEMAN RICHARD JAMES
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 1998-06-24
Abstract: A method and system for commanding and controlling diverse home devices. A first home device capable of displaying user interface data is connected to a home network. A second home device stores user interface data that defines a user interface for commanding and controlling the second home device, also connected to the home network. The first device receives the user interface data from the second device over the network.  The first device then displays the user interface as defined by the data. The user interacts with the user interface displayed on the first device by a control device. User input is accepted from the user responsive to the interaction. Control and command information is sent from the first home device to the second home device in order to control the second device according to the user input. Since the user interface can be displayed from any device, a single control device may control a plurality of different devices without requiring any change in the mode of operation of the control device.

Inventor: HORNER-RICHARDSON KEVIN D
IPC: H05H1/34
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: A plasma arc torch and method for improving the life of the consumable parts  of the plasma arc torch, including the electrode, the tip and the shield cap . The method includes turbulating gas as it flows over the exposed surfaces of  the electrode, tip and shield cap to increase turbulence in the hydrodynamic  boundary layer of the gas flow, thereby enhancing convective heat transfer. The result of enhanced cooling has improved consumable parts life. For example, to increase the turbulence of the gas flow over the outer surface o f the electrode, the plasma arc torch electrode has a roughened, or textured outer surface formed with dimples, axially extending grooves or spiraling grooves formed in the outer surface of the electrode. The inner and outer surfaces of the tip and the inner surface of the shield cap are similarly textured.

Abstract: Il est connu que bien des compositions chimiques et pharmaceutiques produisent des effets anti-nociceptifs qui aident à soulager la douleur et l'inflammation. Les opioïdes et les anesthésiques locaux jouent tous deux un rôle important dans le soulagement de la douleur périphérique. L'administration topique, sur la périphérie, de médicaments sédatifs de la douleur, constitue un avantage important par rapport à l'administration systémique ou locale et non topique. L'invention concerne des compositions pharmaceutiques topiques, formulées à l'aide d'au moins un anesthésique local et d'au moins un analgésique opioïde, dans un véhicule topique. L'invention concerne également des procédés consistant à soulager la douleur chez un sujet par administration topique de cette composition pharmaceutique, selon une dose et pendant une durée suffisantes pour potentialiser de manière synergique une réponse anti-nociceptive. La potentialisation synergique de l'analgésie obtenue par l'administration topique d'une composition pharmaceutique à base d'un anesthésique local et d'un opioïde, constitue une nouvelle et meilleure approche de la gestion de la douleur périphérique.
