Granted: 2012-12-20
Abstract: An ABPI measurement system (1) includes two cuffs (10) for each ankle and two cuffs (10) for each arm of a patient. Each cuff (10) has chambers (11, 12). The four cuffs are applied to each limb (or finger or toe), each chamber (11) is inflated simultaneously to a pressure until a Pneumo Arterial Plethysmography (PAPG) signal related to the arterial flow in the limb is detected at the chambers (11). The chambers (12) are then simultaneously inflated until the PAPG signals are extinguished in each limb, the inflation of chambers (12) continuing for 10mmHg to 20mmHg above that pressure. The chambers (12) are then deflated and the pressure at which the PAPG signal returns in the first chamber (11) is recorded for each limb and this value of the pressure is used to calculate the ABPI. The ABPI is displayed or sent to a remote site.

Title: Improved Expanding Caravan
Inventor: BUSCOMBE PETER WILLIAM
IPC: B60P3/355
Filed: 2008-07-09
Granted: 2012-07-12
Abstract: The improved expanding caravan describes an expansion concept applicable to either caravan or expanding portable traytop camping chamber (expanding "traytop camper") the latter arranged for mounting on the tray of a small flatbed or pickup truck. Two pairs of supporting and pivoting legs connect an upper shell comprising walls and roof with a lower shell comprising lower walls and floor, enabling simultaneous raising, vertical plane rotation and horizontal displacement of the upper in relation to the lower shell. This permits conversion of the cabin area between a relatively compact and fuel efficient shape for maneuvering, towing or transport, and a shape expanded in both plan area and vertical headroom for occupation. Other key features are rigid shell construction without the need for canvas-type fabrics in walls or roof, combined with a weatherproof cabin area in both the lowered and raised position and throughout the conversion motion. High versatility of layout and efficiency of space usage are achieved. Construction methods, geometry of the arrangement and if desired provision of mechanical assistance, can be combined to limit the manual effort involved in executing the conversion movement to a low amount.

Title: Systems and methods for reducing pump downtime by determining rotation speed using a variable speed drive
Inventor: PLITT SHELDON
IPC: F04D15/02
Filed: 2008-04-04
Granted: 2014-07-17
Abstract: Systems and methods for using variable speed drives to restart downhole submersible pump motors. In one embodiment, a downhole pump is controlled using a variable speed drive that includes a control system configured to detect interruptions in the operation of the pump system. After an interruption that requires the restart of the pump motor, the control system determines the reverse rotational speed of the pump motor and restarts the motor when this speed is sufficiently low. The control system may be configured to reduce the output voltage of the variable speed drive and sweep through a range of output frequencies to determine the frequency at which the current drawn by the motor is lowest. This is the frequency at which the drive's output matches the speed of the motor and the apparent impedance of the motor is highest. When the speed is low enough, the motor is restarted.
