Patent EP-0044294-A4 (EP)
Title: A desalination apparatus with power generation.
Inventor: HUMISTON GERALD F
IPC: C02F1/04
Filed: 1980-01-28
Abstract: Desalination apparatus with power generation comprising an evaporating means (14) and a condensing means (26). Conduit means (18) connect the evaporator means (14) and said condensing means (26) in a closed loop with the vapors of said evaporator (14) being coupled thermally with said condenser means (26). Temperature differential means comprise the temperature of the ocean water at the ocean surface providing heat input into said evaporator means (14) whereas cold ocean water pumped from the depths of the ocean provides the cooling means to said condenser (26). The difference in temperature between this warm ocean water at the ocean surface and the cold water from the depths of the ocean thus provides the heating and cooling means for powering said apparatus. Evaporation in the condenser (26) and condensing in the said condenser (26) when the air has been removed from the apparatus by means of a vacuum pump means (24) leaves only water vapor in the system. This evaporation and subsequent condensing of the vapors from the ocean water, which are essentially low temperature steam, results in a mass flow of vapors from the evaporator means (14) to the condenser means (26) through the conduit means (18) connecting same. These vapors when condensed in the condenser means (26) become distilled or desalinated water since only water vapors are carried through the apparatus and the salt, minerals, etc. are retained in the ocean water in the evaporator (14).

Title: Locking, bearing and actuating apparatus.
Inventor: SCERBO JOSEPH E
IPC: F15B15/26
Filed: 1981-11-16
Abstract: The apparatus comprises a generally tubular outer element (24) a generally cylindrical inner element (76) disposed therewithin and sized relative thereto to provide a generally annular operating space therebetween. An intermediate element (80) is disposed in said operating space and is dimensioned relative thereto to create interference fits with said outer and inner elements and prevent relative movement therebetween. Means (60, 62) are provided to introduce pressurized fluid to the respective element interfaces to expand the outer element within the elastic limit thereof to an extent sufficient to release the interference fits and enable relative outer-inner element movement. Re-locking of the outer and inner elements occurs automatically upon depressurization of the fluid and attendant return of the outer element to its unexpanded configuration. Actuating means to effect relative outer and inner element movement upon apparatus unlocking are also provided, and include means to pressurize the fluid. Apparatus locking by direct outer-inner element interference fit is also disclosed in conjunction with said actuating means.

Filed: 1982-02-11
Abstract: Microprocessor controlled micro-stepping chart drive circuit. The invention comprises a step clock system (10), a microprocessor controller (12) and a motor drive circuit (16). A speed selector (14) establishes a numerical constant within the controller. This numerical constant is decremented down with each pulse of the step clock (10). When the counter reaches zero, the motor drive circuit is update. Therefore, the time between updates of the motor drive circuit is a function of the value of the numerical constant.

Title: Apparatus and method for reducing power consumption in a mobile communications receiver.
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G JR
IPC: H04B1/16
Filed: 1993-03-04
Abstract: A system for reducing receiver power consumption in communication system having a transmitter and one or more receivers schedules periodic messages in "slots." Each receiver is assigned a slot during which it monitors the transmissions. The transmitter transmits messages to the receiver only during the assigned slots. The receiver is in an "active state" during its assigned slot. It may remain in the active state after its assigned slot if the message requires the receiver to perform additional actions. During the "inactive state," which is the time period between successive occurrences of its assigned slot, the receiver may perform any action not requiring coordination with the transmitter. It may conserve power during this time by removing power from one or more components such as those used for monitoring the transmissions. At a time during the inactive state shortly before the assigned slot, the receiver applies power to these components and performs initializations. Such initializations may include reacquiring a pilot channel signal to which the receiver may synchronize itself if its timing signals have drifted out of synchronization with those of the transmitter during the preceding inactive state.

Patent EP-0658091-A4 (EP)
IPC: G01N29/50
Filed: 1993-09-03
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil par écho d'impulsion ultrasonore permettant d'effectuer des mesures de précision de la compressibilité d'une matière de rétrodiffusion, en particulier un tissu organique. Ledit procédé consiste à utiliser un transducteur classique (10) ou un dispositif contenant un transducteur à conversion transaxiale (12) pour comprimer ou déplacer une région proximale d'un corps cible par faibles incréments connus. A chaque déplacement, une impulsion (18) est émise et une séquence d'écho (ligne A) est détectée depuis des régions de la cible situées le long du chemin sonique ou du faisceau (20) du transducteur. Les décalages temporels des segments d'écho ainsi obtenus correspondant aux caractéristiques dans la cible (25), après correction des régions à vitesse sonique variable le long du chemin sonique, donnent des informations relatives et quantitatives sur la contrainte produite par les compressions. On détermine également les sollicitations imparties par le transducteur et le dispositif contenant un transducteur, après correction de la profondeur le long du chemin sonique. On divise ensuite les valeurs de contrainte appropriées par les valeurs respectives de sollicitation le long de chaque chemin afin de produire un élastogramme, ou un réseau de valeurs de compressibilité de la cible (25).

Patent EP-0746369-A4 (EP)
Title: Single-lumen balloon catheter having a directional valve
Inventor: SAMSON GENE
IPC: A61M29/02
Filed: 1993-11-04
Abstract: This invention is a single-lumen balloon catheter having a valve seat on the distal end of the catheter, distal of the balloon, which may be operated by a control wire having a valve plug disposed on the wire. The valve seat may be engaged by the valve plug from either direction, depending on the installation of the control wire. In either event, if the valve plug is installed distally of the valve seat in the catheter lumen, the valve is closed by pulling on the control wire (or moving the control wire in a proximal direction) and introducing fluid through the catheter lumen through the balloon. Alternatively, the guidewire, with its integral valve plug, may be introduced from the proximal end of the catheter and may traverse the body of the balloon to engage the valve seat in the distal end of the catheter. Pushing on the control wire will seat the valve, allowing the introduction of fluid through the catheter lumen to inflate the balloon. The latter arrangement allows the control wire to be interchanged with other guidewires a physician may wish to use. The balloon provided for in this invention is of a single length and does not change its axial length as it is inflated.
