Title: Personal harness for carrying packs
Inventor: HIGGINS ROBERT STEPHEN
IPC: A45F3/04
Filed: 2003-06-23
Granted: 2008-05-27
Abstract: Equipment that enables people to carry substantial pack loads have the problems that the body is under load from the shoulders down and packs bearing against the body prevent evaporation of perspiration which generates discomfort and fatigue. An eccentric backpack load exacerbates these problems. The subject invention is a wearable harness that transfers pack loads directly to the person's hips, bypassing the shoulders and upper body. An over-the -shoulder, inverted "U" beam structure has attachment points for back and front packs and maintains a ventilation space beneath both. Balanced front and back packs can eliminate load eccentricity. Each beam is supported at the bottom (front and back) by a wide belt that goes over the hip. The harness is kept in place circumferentially at the waist by an ordinary belt around the waist. A distinctive hip is a significant advantage; therefore, the invention is applicable mostly to women. Packs having lateral strength and stiffness bridge across the "U" beam structure leaving a ventilation path between the pack(s) and the body to allow body cooling.

Title: Cerebral biopotential analysis system and method
Inventor: CHIANG HSING-HSING
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 1992-10-23
Granted: 2005-02-01
Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method to obtain 19 unipolar EEG signals from regions of interest on both the left and right hemispheres of a subject's brain. The system uses high-gain, low-noise amplifiers to maximize the dynamic range for low energy wave components of the signals. Band-pass filtering is used to reduce noise and to avoid aliasing. The system applies commonly used digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to digitize, to low-pass filter (50 Hz), and to decimate the signals.      Power spectral, bispectral, and higher-order spectral processing is then performed. In a preferred embodiment, the system divides the most recent 63 seconds of digitized EEG data from each lead into 60 4-second intervals, each with 3 seconds of overlap with the previous interval. For a selected set of derived leads, the system produces auto power spectrum, autobispectrum, and auto higher-order spectrum variables, by using either a Fourier Transform based approach or a parametric cubic fitting approach. Any pair of leads can be combined to compute cross power spectrum, cross bispectrum, and cross higher-order spectrum variables.

Title: Vibratory transducer
Inventor: DRAHM WOLFGANG
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 2002-02-28
Granted: 2009-06-30
Abstract: To conduct a fluid, the transducer has a flow tube which in use is vibrated by an excitation system and whose inlet-side and outlet-side vibrations are detected by means of a sensor system. In response to transverse forces produced in the vibrating flow tube, the latter is, at least temporarily, laterally displaced from an assigned static rest position. To improve the dynamic balance of the transducer, a first cantilever and a second cantilever are rigidly fixed to an inlet-side tube section and an outlet-side tube section, respectively.  By means of the cantilevers, the inlet-side and outlet-side tube sections are deformed as a result of lateral displacements of the flow tube. This produces counterforces which at least partially counterbalance the transverse forces produced in the vibrating flow tube. One advantage of the proposed transducer is that it is well balanced even during variations in fluid density.

Abstract: Dispositif de commande destiné à la protection de données sur un support de stockage de données. Un seul dispositif de stockage de données physique est divisé en un espace de données protégé, un espace de données virtuel et un espace de données non protégé dans un mode d'installation. Ensuite, les espaces de données protégé et non protégé sont présentés en tant que deux dispositifs de stockage de données physiques séparés et l'existence de l'espace de données virtuel est cachée. Les deux dispositifs de stockage de données sont respectivement représentés comme ayant une capacité égale à celle de l'espace de données protégé et non protégé seulement. Un ensemble de données protégées (qui peuvent comprendre des logiciels et des données) est initialement installé dans l'espace de données protégé. Au cours de l'utilisation, des données transmises au dispositif de commande en vue de leur enregistrement dans l'espace de stockage de données sont enregistrées uniquement dans l'espace de données virtuel. Des données peuvent être lues à partir soit de l'espace de données protégé, soit de l'espace de données virtuel, selon que l'espace de données virtuel contient ou non des données plus récentes. Dans un mode de réalisation, le contenu de l'espace de données virtuel est effacé au début de chaque session du système informatique dans lequel le dispositif de commande est installé. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'espace de données virtuel est effacé uniquement lorsque le dispositif de commande reçoit l'instruction de le faire et le contenu de l'espace de données virtuel peut être rendu permanent par copie dudit contenu dans l'espace de données protégé. L'espace de données protégé et l'espace de données virtuel peuvent être situés sur différents dispositifs de stockage de données. Le dispositif de commande peut également recevoir des demandes de données de lecture et de données d'écriture pour un espace de données non protégé, qui peut être utilisé pour l'enregistrement permanent de données, indépendamment des espaces de données protégé et virtuel.

Filed: 1999-02-09
Granted: 2005-10-18
Abstract: A language model is used in a speech recognition system which has access to a first, smaller data store and a second, larger data store. The language model is adapted by formulating an information retrieval query based on information contained in the first data store and querying the second data store. Information retrieved from the second data store is used in adapting the language model. Also, language models are used in retrieving information from the second data store. Language models are built based on information in the first data store, and based on information in the second data store. The perplexity of a document in the second data store is determined, given the first language model, and given the second language model. Relevancy of the document is determined based upon the first and second perplexities. Documents are retrieved which have a relevancy measure that exceeds a threshold level.
