Patent EP-0203181-A4 (EP)
Title: Portable automated blood pressure monitoring apparatus and method.
Inventor: HUTCHESON STANFORD J
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1985-11-27
Abstract: A portable computer-based blood pressure monitoring system automatically measures heart rate and blood pressure using the auscultatory method. Measurements are performed at random time intervals to prevent the subject from affecting his blood pressure and heart rate due to the expected onset of measurement. Data representative of Korotkoff sounds and corresponding applied cuff pressures is stored in both digital form in a semiconductor random access memory (132) and in analog form on a serial magnetic tape recorder (112). The system automatically maintains occluding cuff pressure constant for a predetermined period after cuff inflation before performing measurements to prevent pneumatic ringing from affecting blood pressure measurements. After cuff deflation, values are derived which are representatives of the average of the highest Korotkoff sound level peaks and the average of all Korotkoff sound level peaks and serve to define a threshold value in relation to which the points of systolic and diastolic pressure measurements are determined.

Patent EP-0540753-A4 (EP)
Inventor: SARUGAKU SHINICHI
IPC: B25J19/06
Filed: 1992-05-14
Abstract: Un système pour commander un robot industriel est d'un fonctionnement simplifié et est susceptible d'un apprentissage direct dans des conditions de sécurité à tout instant. Le système comporte des moyens (131 et 132) pour contrôler l'intensité d'une force externe appliquée à l'extrémité avant d'une main pendant l'apprentissage direct, afin que le mouvement du robot puisse être limité de force lorsque la force externe atteint ou dépasse une valeur prédéterminée. Par ailleurs, lorsque le système est actionné pour être mis en mode d'apprentissage direct, un traitement (136) de correction du décalage d'un capteur de force est exécuté automatiquement. Le contrôle d'une force détectée par le capteur de force permet de déterminer si une force externe destinée à actionner le robot à une vitesse anormale lui est appliquée ou non, et, lorsque la force externe devient supérieure à une valeur de référence, un mode d'interdiction de l'actionnement du robot par la force externe (mode commande de position) est sélectionné, ou bien le courant amené à un servomoteur est coupé pour empêcher le robot de passer en fonctionnement erroné par suite d'une commande erronée.

Filed: 1997-01-29
Abstract: Cette invention concerne des agents antitumoraux qui comprennent, en tant qu'agent principal, un mélange d'adriamycine et de composés organiques qui possèdent des groupes amino et silyle (appelés silamines) et qui correspondent aux formules structurelles (A)(B), où R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 et R8 représentent chacun hydrogène ou alkyle C1-10, aryle ou aralkyle ou, encore, les paires R1 et R2 ainsi que R5 et R6 peuvent être liées par alkylène, arylène ou aralkylène. L'utilisation de silamines dans un mélange contenant de l'adriamycine, un anticancéreux puissant mais ayant des effets secondaires extrêmement graves, permet d'accroître les effets anticancéreux de l'adriamycine. Il est ainsi possible de réduire la dose d'adriamycine et, partant, de diminuer ses effets secondaires par rapport à ceux constatés lorsqu'elle est utilisée seule.

Filed: 1997-08-22
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un circuit d'attaque amélioré de sonde à phacoémulsification, qui est destiné à alimenter en courant électrique un transducteur ultrasonique. Ledit circuit d'attaque comprend une boucle (1412) de commande de puissance et une boucle (1413) de commande de fréquence. La boucle (1412) de commande de puissance présente un amplificateur (1416) à gain variable dont la sortie est une entrée vers un amplificateur de puissance (1417). Une fois que l'amplificateur de puissance a amplifié la puissance, celle-ci est fournie à un transformateur (1436) puis à un transducteur (1439). La tension et le courant appliqués sur le primaire du transformateur sont captés de façon à générer un signal proportionnel à la puissance (réelle ou apparente). Le résultat est ensuite comparé à un ordre de puissance venant d'un levier de commande à pied. Une fois comparé, le résultat est envoyé à un premier dispositif de régulation qui se met en fonctionnement en recevant les informations et envoie un signal correcteur à l'amplificateur à gain variable.

Title: Multi-clock matched filter for receiving signals with multipath
Inventor: TRAN JIMMY CUONG
IPC: H04B1/7115
Filed: 1999-09-16
Abstract: A multi-clock matched filter for receiving signals with multipath. The signals may be modulated with a spread-spectrum spreading sequence, or other analog or digital signal. A number of signal registers store digital samples of the received signal. The gating of digital samples into each of the signal registers is controlled by a separate clock timing. The timing sequence may be derived from a common clock. A multiplexer sequentially selects each of the signal registers, and passes the respective content of each signal register to a matched filter. A number of delay-locked-loop circuits track each of the multipath signals, and generate the timing sequence for gating signal registers.
