Title: Device and method for artificial respiration providing respiratory support
Inventor: WEISMANN DIETER
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 2006-09-14
Abstract: An artificial respiration device for artificial respiration providing respiratory support is to be improved with regard to the sensitivity of the triggering. To solve the problem, provision is made such that a pre-inspiratory inspiration gas flow is adjusted which flows away via the exhalation valve (9) and closure pressure pv of the exhalation valve (9) is thereby measured by means of a pressure sensor (11). In the presence of an inhalation effort by the patient, the gas flow is increased to an extent such that closure pressure p. of the exhalation valve (9) is re-established. If the difference between the preset gas flow and the gas flow required to keep closure pressure p. constant exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a respiratory support is triggered.

Title: Pressure monitor optimization of fluid path utilization
Inventor: CIOLKOSZ THEODORE D
IPC: G01M3/26
Filed: 2005-03-02
Abstract: A device comprising a pressure monitor and a control means that receives a signal representing measured pressure at the pressure monitor and controls the controllable elements of a fluid system is utilized to monitor a fluid system for error conditions, to optimize operations and to diagnose the fluid system. By following a testing protocol that selectively enables parts of the system, the control means narrows the list of possible failing components. Comparing the measured pressure against normal pressures allows the device to identify error conditions. Determining the volume of fluid being transported and controlling the duration of the flow optimizes operation of the fluid system.

Filed: 2007-05-03
Abstract: A dental articulator has upper and lower cast models of a patient's upper and lower teeth in shells (13a, 13b) linked by an articulation joint (14). The models are formed in the shells (13a, 13b) by locating a bite tray (1, 25) having impressions on opposite sides between the shells (13a, 13b) in fixed positional relationship thereto. The lowermost shell (13a) is filled with casting material in contact with the lowermost impression and this is allowed to set to form one model. The bite tray (1, 25) and shells (13a, 13b) are then turned over to enable the other model to be formed in the other shell (13b). The bite tray (1, 25) has a projecting handle (6, 28) which is clamped with a clamping device (19) which can be detachably mounted on a base (10) both ways up. The shells (13a, 13b) can also be detachably mounted on the base (10) both ways up. Locating devices (11, 12) are provided so that the clamping devices (19) and the shells (13a, 13b) retain their positional interrelationship both ways up.

Title: Broadcast receiver processing data and common physical layer pipes (PLPs) via demodulation circuitry
Inventor: TAYLOR MATTHEW PAUL ATHOL
IPC: H04H40/00
Filed: 2009-06-03
Abstract: A broadcast receiver comprises demodulator circuitry 500, host circuitry 600 and an interface between. Demodulator 500 receives a broadcast signal carrying plural data streams on a plurality of data and common physical layer pipes (PLPs, Layer 1, L1, Layer 2, L2 - data PLPs carrying a unique portion of a corresponding data stream; common PLPs carrying a common portion of plural data streams). Demodulator 500 identifies each of the data and common PLPs, determines an association between the common and data PLPs, and stores the association. The demodulator communicates an identification of the data PLPs to the host 600 via the interface. Host 600 communicates, to the demodulator via the interface, identification of a selected data physical layer pipe carrying a desired data stream. The demodulator determines, from the stored association, a common physical layer pipe associated with the selected data physical layer pipe; then extracts, from the broadcast signal, the selected data PLP and determined associated common PLP, and combines the PLPs to obtain the desired of plural data streams for output. By handling common PLPs in demodulation rather than at the host circuitry, interface data between demodulator and host circuitry is reduced. A DVB-T2 standard television receiver can be used.

Title: Improvements relating to electric pulse translation stages

Abstract: 787,982. Pulse amplifying circuits. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. April 8, 1954 [April 14, 1953], No. 10119/53. Class 40 (6). A circuit for amplifying and inverting a pulse waveform comprises an input dischargetube which inverts the pulse applied to its input and feeds a cathode-follower output stage, the steepness of the leading edge of the output pulse being maintained by connecting the cathode of the cathode-follower stage via a capacitor to an intermediate grid electrode of the input tube. The Figure shows a pulse inverter circuit in which the positive going input pulse is applied at 14 to the control grid of pentode 10, the positive-going output pulse at the anode has its positive-going excursion limited by diode 20 and is directly coupled to the control grid of cathode-follower stage 24. The potential swing at the screen grid of tube 10 is considerably greater than at the anode and the value of capacitor 29 is such that when tube 10 is switched on by the leading edge of an input pulse the resulting partial discharge of capacitor 29 accelerates the discharging of the output capacitances 30 of cathode follower 24 so that a steep leading edge is obtained to the output pulse at terminal 28. The time constant of network 17, 29 is such that capacitor 29 is completely recharged before the arrival of the next input pulse.
