Inventor: COX CHRISTOPHER ROBERT
IPC: B42D25/305
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: A carrier sheet with an integrated card and preferably, but not exclusively, a magnetic strip card is described. The sheet contains printed information which is in part card information printed at a predetermined location on a front face of a carrier sheet in a card region thereof and oriented to be disposed on an outer surface of the front and a rear card panel of the card to be formed. The siliconized liner patch, containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive, is laminated on the back surface of the carrier sheet and disposed to extend over the card region. A face patch of clear poly material containing a magnetic strip is immovably secured over the card region on the front face of the paper carrier sheet. A die cut delineates card contour panels and a straight fold line separates the panel whereby they may be folded together when detached from the carrier sheet with the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the liner being transferred to the rear surface of the panels so that the panels can be folded together with their rear surface stuck together. The method of manufacture and a method of use is also described herein.

Inventor: HOGAN MICHAEL
IPC: C08J3/24
Filed: 1999-12-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement de procédés de thermodurcissage employés pour une composition d'imprégnation polymérisable à l'intérieur d'un article poreux imprégné. Pour réduire au maximum la quantité de volume poreux à combler au moyen de la composition d'imprégnation, on applique successivement des incréments discrets de température et de pression dans un système comprenant au moins un article poreux imprégné et une chambre de durcissage renfermant un milieu de transfert de chaleur. Pendant un tel durcissage, on contrôle la température et la pression pendant une période initiale, puis on les augments par paliers successifs de façon que chaque palier de température et que chaque palier de pression soit supérieur au précédent, et ce, jusqu'à atteindre un plafond. On conserve ces plafonds de température et de pression jusqu'au durcissement complet de la composition d'imprégnation, ce qui donne un produit amélioré présentant une plus grande intégrité structurelle et une plus grande qualité de surface.

Title: Antitachycardial pacing
Inventor: MOWER MORTON M
IPC: A61N1/362
Filed: 2000-01-14
Abstract: Protocols for antitachycardial pacing in-cluding biphasic stimulation administered at, or just above, the diastolic depolarization the shold potential; biphasic or conventional stim-ulation initiated at, or just above, the di-astolic depolarization threshold potential, re-duced, upon capture, to below threshold; and biphasic or conventional stimulation adminis-tered at a level set just below the diastolic depolarization threshold potential. These pro-tocols result in reliable cardiac capture with a lower stimulation level, thereby causing less damage to the heart, extending battery life, causing less pain to the patient and having greater therapeutic effectiveness. In those pro-tocols using biphasic cardiac pacing, a first and second stimulation phase is administered.  The first stimulation phase has a predefined polarity, amplitude and duration. The sec-ond stimulation phase also has a predefined polarity, amplitude and duration. The two phases are applied sequentially. Contrary to current trought, anodal stimulation is first ap-plied and followed by cathodal stimulation.  In this fashion, pulse conduction through the cardiac muscle is improved together with the increase in contractility.

Title: Spiral singulator
Inventor: LINDENBLATT BRUNO
IPC: B65G33/06
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: Log indexing apparatus includes a frame and a series of laterally spaced spiral rolls that are inclined from front to back between the infeed and the outfeed, and are also inclined sideways. The spiral rolls are rotated synchronously and are arranged so that the gaps between the flights of the spirals define an upward moving log-receiving trough across the width of the device. The sideways inclination reduces the tendency of the logs to ride on the edges of the flights of the spirals.
