Abstract: Methods and apparatus for exposing a sample to ultraviolet radiation are disclosed. The present invention permits a sample contained within a shielded housing to be exposed to a source of ultraviolet radiation and simultaneously observed. The sample rests on a stage that can be moved relative to the source of the ultraviolet radiation while the irradiation is taking place, thus the effects of ultraviolet radiation upon biological materials such as blood can be determined. In a preferred embodiment, upper and lower banks of ultraviolet bulbs are disposed on either side of the stage. The movement of the banks of bulbs and the stage relative to one another is preferably controlled by a set of lead screws. In certain embodiments, the intensity of the emissions of the bulbs themselves can also be altered while continuously observing and irradiating the sample. The invention preferably uses radiation at a wavelength in the UV-B band, between about 280-320 nm or, more preferably, in the UV-A band, between about 320-400 nm.2

Abstract: A Benesch transmission transmits power from an input shaft to an output shaft, wherein the input shaft defines a first axis and the output shaft defines a second axis, includes a first member including a contacting surface which extends along at least a portion of a circle. The first member is coupled to the input shaft such that, upon rotation of the input shaft about the first axis, the first member moves so that a central axis of the circle orbits the first axis, and wherein a distance between the central axis and the first axis is variable. A plurality of second members are coupled to the output shaft and extend away from the second axis. Each of the second members extends within the circle such that, upon motion of the first member relative to the first axis, contact between the contacting surface and the second members causes rotation of the output shaft about the second axis.

Abstract: A body electrode monitor has a plurality of electrodes (6, 7, 9) for sensing potentials of points of attachment on a living body. A plurality of amplifiers (5, 8, 10) are provided each having two signal inputs and adapted for attachment to the body, for example, in a pouch carried by a belt. Data processing apparatus (14) is connected to the amplifiers. The sole connections between each amplifier and the electrodes are connections from the two signal inputs to two electrodes. Different amplifiers are connected to different combinations of electrodes. In this ambulatory monitoring arrangement, the whole arrangement is located within the environment of the subject's body and so no additional connection between the amplifiers and a common "earth" electrode on the living body is required.

Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for verifying compatibility between components of a system which share a client-provider relationship. Briefly, according to the invention, a current version of a provider and a compatibility range are defined for each of a version of a client and a version of a provider. A version of a provider specifies an oldest implementation provider and an oldest definition provider. When a client is linked with a particular version of a provider it stores an identification for that provider, a current indicator for that version of the provider, called a definition provider, and the oldest implementation provider. At runtime, compatibility checks are performed between a client and available versions of the provider(s), called implementation providers, with which it has been linked. For each available version of each type of provider compatibility exists with the client in three situations. First, if the definition provider and the implementation provider are the same version of that provider, then the client and provider are compatible. Second, if the definition provider, i.e. the version of the provider linked with the client, is newer than the implementation provider, then if the version of the implementation provider is no older than the oldest implementation provider specified in the client, the two are compatible, otherwise they are incompatible. Third, if the definition provider is older than the implementation provider, then if the definition provider is no older than the oldest definition provider specified in the implementation provider, then the two are compatible.

Granted: 2003-03-05
Abstract: A multi-level layered cellular radio architecture serves mobile subscriber stations moving within the system. Best server selection is performed for the mobile stations by assigning within each cell a preference value to each other one of the cells with which is associated by proximity of service area. The strength of the radio signal received by the mobile from the serving cell as well as the radio channels of associated cells is measured. A decision as to the best serving cell for the mobile station is made based upon both the preference value of the associated cells and the signal strength of their respective radio channels.

Abstract: A battery transfer and charging system for electric vehicles. A displacement station removes spent batteries of electric vehicles by forcing charged batteries into position within the vehicles so as to laterally displace spent batteries. Spent batteries displaced from vehicles are received by a receiving station of the system. The receiving system includes an engagement device for engaging with engagement structures of the batteries, in order to assist the removal of spent batteries. Spent batteries removed from vehicles are tested and charged as they progress through the system in an assembly-line fashion. Following recharge, batteries are conveyed to the displacement station for installation within later vehicles. Batteries which cannot adequately be recharged are automatically removed from the system. In one embodiment of the system, vehicles drive through the system in sequential order, stopping at a specified location for battery installation/removal.
