Title: Prosthesis component holder attachable to an inserter handle
Inventor: BURGI JONAS
IPC: A61F2/46
Filed: 2007-12-17
Abstract: An adaptor/holder (40) is described which attaches to the front (18) of an existing orthopedic inserter/impactor handle (10) via the handle's existing threaded interface mechanism (22). The adaptor/holder (40) has an annular housing (42) that snaps onto the front (18) of the existing inserter (10), and has an internal yoke and pin assembly (70) that attached to the handle's interface mechanism (22). The holder (40) adapts the inserter (10) to much more easily and quickly release from a prosthetic component (12) after the component (12) is surgically implanted in a patient, and with less mechanical manipulation than could otherwise be accomplished using the inserter (10) alone. The adaptor/holder utilizes the inserter's existing mount tensioning (draw piston) mechanism (30) to quickly engage and disengage the prosthetic component (12). Upon activation of the inserter's tensioning mechanism (30), the holder (10) receives and fixes a prosthetic component (12) to the end (18) of the inserter (10). Deactivation of the inserter handle's tensioning mechanism (30) quickly accomplishes release of the prosthetic component (12) with minimal manipulation.

Title: Vehicle propelled by combined seat and treadle action
Inventor: LEE ROCKY JENLON
IPC: B62M1/24
Filed: 2008-02-29
Abstract: The vehicle has a treadle 71 and a seat 70 connected such that propulsion is generated by alternate downward seat and treadle movement, the downward movement of one causing return movement of the other. The output from the seat 70 and treadle 71 has step-up gearing to magnify driving stroke and drives two one-way devices on rear wheel or wheels on a continuous cycle. The seat 70 and treadle can be connected by a transmission such as gearing, chains, sprockets, the seat being on arms such that it move arcuately downwards against a spring 75a or on a parallel arm linkage for vertical movement. Alternatively, the seat 70 and treadle 71 are directly coupled by the seat arms. This propulsion does not require input from a handlebar which provides merely steering control.

Title: Re-deploying seismic receiver cables while carrying out a marine seismic survey
Inventor: MELDAHL PAUL
IPC: B63B21/66
Filed: 2009-06-25
Abstract: A marine seismic survey is conducted by deploying receiver cables 11 in a longitudinal direction over an active receiver area 12. A seismic source 14 is towed behind a vessel 13 to track across the active receiver area in the longitudinal direction along a first line. The source vessel is turned around and the source is towed to track across the receiver area in the reverse direction along a second line; parallel to the first. This is repeated over the whole survey area. The receivers may be picked up and re-deployed while the source 13 is being fired. The distance between the cables in a transverse direction may be greater than or equal to twice the maximum offset between the source and receivers. A seismic source is towed and fired along firing lines parallel to the receiver cables while the receiver cables are re-deployed such that the cable arrangement is indexed forwards in the transverse direction. The receiver cables may be attached to a buoy which floats beneath the surface by a rope, when a signal is sent to a control unit on the buoy, a further length of rope is released, allowing the buoy to float to the surface.

Title: Estimating energy costs for network operations
Inventor: FROST TIM
IPC: H04W4/24
Filed: 2009-09-09
Abstract: The environmental cost of previous, current or future user-executable operations in a mobile network in terms of energy/power consumption or carbon footprint is estimated based on the idle/connected status of the device and the carbon efficiency of other network components (eg. base station power sources, fig. 2) and displayed on the user's mobile phone 1. Costs associated with a network layer 80, a base station 3 and a maintenance server 82 are calculated and displayed by an EcoServer 85, and a billing server may actually charge the user with said cost. Alternative options are displayed, allowing a user to choose to eg. make call outside, where the phone works less hard to reach the base station, or accept lower quality channels.

A well tool allows of the isolating of one or more zones of the wall of a cased borehole from well fluid within the borehole and of perforating of the wall at the zone or zones so that the formation is in communication with a chamber or chambers within the tool so that then or subsequent to other operations involving the tool a flowable material can be forced out from the tool into the formation through the perforated isolated zone or zones of the wall of the borehole. In the tool embodiment shown the zones are isolated by an expandable presser unit 23 engaging the wall of the borehole casing to force sealing pads 50, 51 against the wall. The pads surround weakened portions 52, 53 of the casing of the tool. Behind said weakened portions are housed in chambers 56, 57 hollow explosive charges 54, 55, the firing of which causes perforation of the portions 52, 53, the casing wall within the confines of the pads 50, 51 and the surrounding earth formation. The chambers are connected to a chamber 91 for receiving fluid samples from the earth formation and a chamber 102 containing the flowable material, e.g. cement or a conditioning fluid for subsequent ejection through the perforated portions 52, 53 of the tool body. Incorporated in the tool body is an electro-hydraulic control system for sequential operation of the component parts of the tool under control of a surface-located operator.

Title: A device for regulating the speed of a servo-motor capable of producing an alternating motion
Inventor: BARATOSSY JENO
IPC: G05G19/00
Filed: 1957-03-29
Abstract: 855,339. Lathes; machine-tool details. SZERSZAMGEPFEJLESZTO INTEZET. March 29, 1957. No. 10436/57. Class 83 (3). A device for regulating the speed of a piston- and cylinder-feed for lathe and other machinetool slides, includes a valve or control element moved by control means described in Specification 816,444, and is additionally provided with indexing mechanism for a movable selector-stop arrangement, which is started up when a predetermined point is reached in a cycle of operations. As applied to lathes, the longitudinal carriage 3, Fig. 2, and the cross-slide 4 are moved by piston-and-cylinder means 1, 2, respectively. These means are controlled by the axial movement of valves 5, 6 respectively, which are connected to axially-movable drums 8, 8a. These drums are rotated by gearing 13 from the lathe-spindle 15, Fig. 1. Rollers 10, 10a, Figs. 1 and 2, bearing against the drums, are carried on rotatable-pins 11 supported in longitudinallymovable slides 24, 24a respectively. These slides are connected by a rod 16 and bellcrank device 19 respectively, to move in correspondence with the lathe-carriage and cross-slide. If the pins 11 are turned to move the rollers out of their normal rolling-plane on the drums, the latter are moved axially to control valves 5, 6. This principle is used to obtain different feed speeds and rapid-return movements of the lathe-slides in an automatic cycles as follows: rack spindle 11, 11a, Fig. 3, is provided at its upper end with a bell-crank control 22, 22a, and is spring-pressed against a projection on a feeler-rod 25, 25a. These rods are supported on the slides 24, 24a by parallel links 28, 28a, so that movement of the feeler longitudinally also causes it to move transversely. The first movement controls the bellcrank movement and thus the valve movement, while the second movement operates a rod 34 controlling a ratchet mechanism 36-40 which, in the proper sequence of cycle-of-operations, indexes a drum 27 carrying at each end adjustable selector-stop-bars 26, 26a. The bars 26 are shown diagrammatically repeated and in one plane at the left of the Figure to indicate their position in relation to the feeler-rod 25. Both the ends of the selector-bars and their side surfaces operate the feeler-rods 25, 25a. An additional control is provided for varying the speed of feed-movement of the lathe-slides, comprising a number of vertically-banked cambars 52, which operate through a sliding-rod 51 to move a pivoted bar 45 and thus the bellcrank control 22 at predetermined parts of the stroke or movement of the slide 24. The rod 51 may be moved vertically (indexed), automatically to bring different ones of the cambars 52 into operation. A similar control arrangement is provided for bell-crank control 22a. Specification 816,444 is referred to.
