Patent EP-0338363-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HAFELFINGER WERNER
IPC: A61N1/372
Filed: 1989-04-10
Abstract: An implantable pacemaker having a unipolar/bipolar lead interchangeability includes lead impedance measuring capability for automatically measuring lead impedance, initiated by the occurrence of predetermined events, such as whenever a programming change is made, whenever capture fails to occur in response to an implied stimulation pulse, whenever the leads are changed, and whenever a significant change of lead impedance is otherwise detected. If a proper impedance measurement is not sensed for a programmed configuration, additional impedance measurements for other possible configurations are made in an ordered sequence in order to determine if an improper lead has been installed or if a lead conductor has broken. If an operable configuration is found, signified by a measurement of impedance as expected, the pacemaker continues operation in that configuration, thereby assuring that capture can continue to occur until such time as the problem which has been detected can be corrected.

Abstract: A light source module 100 for use with a multi-camera array 130 in a video surface inspection system includes a first light emitter 104 which extends lengthwise across the entire width of a sheet 106 to be inspected. Light from the first light emitter 104, which preferably comprises one or more fluorescent lamps, is received by a light guide 110 and carried by the guide to uniformly illuminate a band extending entirely across the width of the moving sheet. The light guide comprises a transparent thermoplastic such that the light receiving end 118 of the guide can be bent to define a plurality of sections which can be axially aligned with a corresponding plurality of fluorescent lamps. The light source module can also assist the inspection system in overcoming redundant data processing problems by providing second light emitters 134 which illuminate the sheet in overlapping portions 132 of the fields of view of adjacent cameras of the multi-camera array 130 to define data dividing points. Accordingly, duplicated data generated by the video cameras can be divided among the cameras at the defined data dividing points such that duplicated data is only processed once by the video surface inspection system.

Abstract: An apparatus is featured for controlling remote devices. The status or one or more switches associated with remote devices may be transmitted along a single stransmission line. One end of the transmission line contains a surface acoustical wave (SAW) delay line. The SAW delay line responds to an interrogation pulse of radio frequency electromagnetic energy with a series of delayed pulses, each of which transmits the status of a switch by means of the presence or absence of the pulse. The SAW delay line and switches are completely passive, requiring no power source. The transmission line may optionally be interrupted and coupled by means of a pair of inductive coils. This offers the potential for rotation, as within a steering column of an automobile, without wear or damage to the transmission line. The other end of the transmission line contains electronic circuitry to provide the interrogation pulse, to decode the return delayed pulses, and to drive other circuitry as required by the switch positions.

Abstract: A method of and system for processing a digital signal are disclosed. Disclosed also are an electric power system digital controlling system and a digital relay system which utilize the signal processing system for obtaining physical quantities of a voltage and a current inputted from the electric power system. An analog signal is sample-held. The sample-held data is converted into digital data which is then filtering-processed. Arithmetic processing is effected based on the data from a digital filter means. In this digital filter means, a blocking zone of the digital filter is set to a higher frequency zone than a passage zone of the analog signal. A sampling frequency is set so that a noise generating region is larger than the blocking zone. The synthesis noises are thereby caused in the blocking zone.
