Title: Dual-edge m/n counter
Inventor: HALTER STEVEN J
IPC: H03K23/68
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: A counter for synthesizing clock signals with minimal jitter. The inventive counter has a first counter stage; a look-ahead circuit input connected to said first counter stage; and a selection circuit for choosing between an output of said first counter stage and an output of said look-ahead circuit as an output of said counter. In the specific embodiment, the first counter sta ge is adapted to receive a first clock signal having a frequency of N cycles pe r second and output a second clock signal having a frequency of M cycles per second. The first counter stage includes an accumulator having a rollover point at which an instantaneous count thereof exceeds the value of N-M. The look-ahead circuit determines for a present clock cycle the rollover point f or a preceding clock cycle. The look-ahead circuit is a second counter stage adapted to ascertain whether the rising edge or the trailing edge of the second clock signal is closer to the rollover point and output an indication  with respect thereto.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for attaching a slider to a zipper chain having cords with intervals of zipper teeth along a predetermined length of the cords separated by gaps is disclosed. First the zipper chain is pulled along a predetermined path. A gap in the zipper chain is then detected. Once detected, the zipper chain is substantially stopped. A slider is then held in place in the gap of the zipper chain. Once the slider is in place, resistance is provided as the zipper chain motion is restarted. This causes the cords of the zipper chain to tighten and attach to the slider as the zipper chain moves along the predetermined path.

Title: Method for measuring 3d joint structure
Inventor: AZUMA YOSHIAKI
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: A three-dimensional joint structure measuring method in which a broken portion of a joint or an articular cartilage is extracted with good reproducibility precisely and quickly, and the joint and the broken portion can be analyzed three-dimensionally, quantitatively, and readily. The method defines a joint image to be evaluated by a three-dimensional labeling with respect to a three- dimensional image. This three-dimensional image is formed by stacking either binary images of a joint section to be examined, which are created by the step of padding the medullary cavity region, i.e., an internal cavity region of the binary image of the joint section to be examined, by an expansion-contraction method, and extracting the contour of the joint section image or binary images of the joint section which are not pre-processed.

Patent CA-2446038-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TUCKER W RANDALL
IPC: B05B1/16
Filed: 2003-10-22
Abstract: A spray head for a faucet or the like has a wand body defining a flow path from an inlet to first and second outlets. Diverter seats are provided so a face seal on a diverter spool can direct flow to the first or second outlet. The spool is positioned by a trigger acting on carn surfaces formed on a toggle. A spring biases the toggle to one of two stable states. Movement of the spool by the trigger causes the toggle to change states so subsequent actuation of the trigger causes the spool to move in the opposite direction. The evand body also has a pause button that reciprocates in a chamber that is part of the flow path. The chamber includes a valve seat and the pause button has a spool having a face seal that is engageable with the valve seat to shut off flow through the spray head. A return spring causes separation of the pause button's face seal upon release of pressure on the pause button. The pause button's seals in the chamber are arranged to have equal diameters and thus provide balanced hydraulic forces on the spool.

Patent CA-2455350-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HSU MICHAEL S
IPC: H01M8/06
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: The trend in personal and light commercial transportation vehicle choices is heading toward electric or fuel cell vehicles capable of zero emission. Their demand for electricity to re-charge batteries or hydrogen to operate fuel cells can best be met by onsite production of electricity and hydrogen from conventional transportion fuel by an on-site energy supply system employing a conversion device. This approach can result in minimum changes in the present day infrastructure of the automobile and truck service station industry and can avoid any disturbances to the normal operation of the electric power industry. The onsite hydrogen/electricity hybrid conversion device is a reformer and/or a fuel cell. The output of the system can be varied to either meet the demand of hydrogen fuel for cell vehicles or to provide electricity for charging batteries used on the electrical vehicles. The onsite distributed energy supply system utilizing a high temperature solid oxide fuel cell system for electric generation and an integral steam reforming system for hydrogen production are the most desirable approaches. One such energy supply system allows the total CO2 capture for sequestration, while concomitantly providing for high system efficiency and full system utilization. The CO2 collection feature promotes the commercial realization of zero/low emission energy supply for onsite installations.

Title: Reference control for high-sensitivity c-reactive protein testing
Inventor: VANDERSLICE WARREN ERIC
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2002-07-17
Abstract: Low-concentration reference controls for C-reactive protein assays are prepared from higher-level starting materials by simple filtration using silica-type filter media formerly used for removing lipids. This process avoids the need for antibodies to capture the protein and resuspend it. Surprisingly, the removal of CRP by the silica-type filter media is selectiv e toward CRP, having little or negligible effect on other proteins in the starting matrix, and accordingly little or negligible change in the total protein content.
