Patent EP-1123578-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LUCHINSKIY ALEXANDER
IPC: H02N3/00
Filed: 1999-10-21
Abstract: A process is provided for producing electrical energy from thermal energy in which charges are separated between two working media triboelectrically or electrostatically, the charges are moved away from one another by displacement of the working media under the action of gas flow forces. In the process, these gas flow forces perform work against the Coulomb forces, and the charges are routed onto electrodes. The process steps are carried out within the inside volume of a heat pipe, with charge separation and charge displacement taking place using the directed gas flow within the heat pipe. The gas flow entrains a liquid medium and routes it past the other working medium for charge separation and displacement. An application of the present invention is in the use of solar energy.

Title: An apparatus and method for determining a program neighborhood for a client node in a client-server network
Inventor: DUURSMA MARTIN
IPC: H04L29/00
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a program neighborhood of a client node in a client-server network is described. The program neighborhood of the client node includes application programs hosted by application servers on the network. The present invention enables a user of a client node to learn of these application programs. The user is not required to know where to find such applications or to manually establish links to such applications. To make the client node aware of its program neighborhood, a host server collects application-related information corresponding to application programs hosted by the servers in the network. The application-related information can include the application name, the server location of the application, minimum capabilities required of client nodes for executing the application, and those users who are authorized to use that application. User credentials are received from the client system. The user credentials are used to filter the application-related information. Information representing those application programs that are available to the client node is transmitted from the host server to the client system for display. In a Windows-based client node, the information can be represented by a graphical icon for each available application program.

IPC: A63H/
Filed: 2004-08-17
Abstract: A toy producing a jumping or bouncing action includes an outer body depicting a fanciful animal and an interior support structure which includes an elongated body housing having a head portion and supporting a tail portion. A pair of leg units having a corresponding pair of supporting feet are slidable within the body housing and are joined by a transversely extending leg unit bridge. A gear drive unit includes an electric motor and a plurality of drive gears which rotate a gear segment. The gear segment engages a gear rack on the leg unit bridge and is operative when the motor is energized to drive the toy figure toward a squatting position as the leg units are drawn into the body housing. A spring is coupled between the leg unit bridge and the body housing and is stretched as the gear segment rotates lifting the gear rack. When the teeth of the gear segment move out of engagement with the gear rack, the spring produces a thrusting force upon the leg units causing the toy to bounce or jump. The action repeats until a timer within a control unit operative upon the motor has timed out a predetermined interval.

Title: Distributed radio system with multiple transceivers for simulcasting and selective processing of received signals
Inventor: JESSE MARY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2006-01-04
Abstract: A distributed radio system with multiple transceivers for simulcasting and selective processing of received signals is provided. The distributed radio system includes a plurality of processing elements and radio frequency transmitter elements interconnected by an Ethernet network. The system designates a number of radio frequency transmitter elements to be elements of a radio frequency simulcast set. The system utilizes relatively few frequency channels, and transmits at very low power levels, and thus causes minimal interference with an existing macrocellular environment. When signals transmitted from a mobile unit are detected by multiple radio receivers, the system is able to select a desired radio receiver signal for processing. When selecting a received signal for processing, the system utilizes a distributed processing technique that performs the selection process throughout several levels. The distributed processing utilized by the selection process may be synchronized. A selection time window may be utilized for making the selection process for the upstream-received data traffic. The system utilizes a centralized data link layer. Transmissions are implemented by a two-level multicast technique. The data transmission traffic is bundled. Selective management of the Ethernet switches is performed by the system.

IPC: A61H23/04
Filed: 2006-02-27
Abstract: A tubular sleeve ( 40 ) comprises an anterior portion ( 16 ) of inextensible material that comes to bear against the tibial ridge, and a posterior portion ( 18 ) of extensible material covering the region to be compressed. These two portions are connected together along two connection generator lines ( 20 ). Inflatable balloons ( 22 ) are disposed on the inside face of the anterior portion, being interposed between the inextensible material and the tibial crest. Means ( 24, 26, 28 ) are provided for inflating each of the balloons differently to a respective given pressure so as to apply deformation to the anterior portion of the sleeve that is suitable for inducing a traction force that is exerted on the extensible posterior portion; this force is distributed regularly along the generator lines and acts perpendicularly thereto, and consequently leads to compression action on the compressible region of the limb.
