Title: Apparatus and method for measuring spinal position
Filed: 2011-12-16
Abstract: An apparatus 10 for measuring spinal position of a subject relative to the sides of the body 52 includes a strap 12 for passing around the body 52 and fastening means 14 for holding the strap 12 in position and a measuring tape 16 attached to the strap at an attachment position 18. The measuring tape 16 extends from either side of the attachment position 18. A frame is also provided which includes two plates 26a, 26b, two pillars 30a, 30b and a crossbar 32. Measurements are taken of sternum position (offset) with respect to the sides of the body 52 using the cross bar pointer 44 and measurement scale, height of sternum using the pillar measurement scale, and spinal position (offset) with respect to the sides of the body using measuring tape 16. The measurements are used to calculate chest rotation. This may be used to determine if the condition of a person with body distortion is being improved or exacerbated by remedial care.

Patent GB-201303910-D0 (GB)
Title: Aircraft wing
Filed: 2013-03-05
Abstract: An aircraft wing 10 comprises a fixed wing part 32 for horizontal flight, and a movable wing part 26 having an aerofoil blade 28 at or adjacent to a distal end of the fixed wing part 32 for vertical take-off and landing. A drive element 46 drives the aerofoil blade 28 of the movable wing part 26 on a rapidly repeatable lilt-generation cycle within a plane of the fixed wing part 32. The aerofoil blade 28 of the movable wing part 26, during a lift-generating condition of the lift generation cycle, is extendable from the fixed wing part 32 by the drive element 46 and movable towards a leading edge 56 of the fixed wing part 32. During a resetting condition of the lift-generation cycle the movable wing part is retractable into the fixed wing part 32 by the drive element 46 and movable towards a trailing edge 58 of the fixed wing part 32. With such forward movement of the extended blade 28, there is airflow over its aerofoil surface, thus generating lift. This operation would be used when an aircraft 12 is flying with little or no forward speed, otherwise the blades 28 remain retracted in the fixed wing part 32 and the aircraft 12 flies conventionally. Thus the design allows high speed flight of a conventional heavier-than-air aircraft 12 with one or two sets of such wings 10, and provides high-speed vertical take-off and landing (HS-VTOL) and extended hover capability.

Title: Method of securing the transmission of digital signals
Inventor: HANNI MANFRED ING GRAD
IPC: H04L9/14
Filed: 1982-09-13
Granted: 1985-02-07
Abstract: In order to achieve a higher resistance to interference with respect to alien sources of deliberate interference in the use of communication connections via short waves, certain cooperative measures are proposed which include that the stations are equipped with highly-constant quartz crystal clocks and the bursts of information to be transmitted are accompanied by a time signal with the aid of which it is possible to correct any time tolerances between the stations. With an acknowledgment signal, use is made of a frequency variation of the radio frequency in the timing of consecutive burst transmissions including the acknowledgment response. The information contained in a burst in a fault safeguarded fashion is transmitted in coded form. The code sequence for encoding the information component and the fault safeguarding component of a burst and for the frequency address which determines the transmitting and receiving frequencies is recalculated for each burst on the basis of the clock time of the quartz crystal clock and on the basis of a subscriber number.

Title: Fuel injection pump for internal-combustion engines
Inventor: SONTHEIMER KARL
IPC: F02M59/26
Filed: 1982-09-11
Granted: 1985-04-25
Abstract: In order to prevent erosion of the pump housing caused by the fuel stream exiting from the return flow openings at the end of injection, it is proposed that the fuel injection pump be provided with an impact protection ring pushed over the cylinder bushing. Adjacent to a cylindrical wall portion, the impact protection ring carries a radially outwardly bent, circular-annular collar. The collar rests on an abutment shoulder disposed above the return flow openings and has an end face whose area is a multiple of the cross sectional area of the cylindrical wall portion. The impact protection ring encloses an annular chamber, provided with a narrow radial gap (s), in the vicinity of the return flow opening and is pressed by a snap ring against the abutment shoulder. As a result of the pressure build-up in the annular chamber and as a result of a slide bearing effect between the collar and the abutment shoulder, a rotational movement of the impact protection ring triggered by the obliquely exiting fuel stream is assured, for the purpose of attaining long service life of the fuel injection pump.

Patent DE-3280066-D1 (DE)
Inventor: HOCHSTEIN PETER A
IPC: B60Q9/00
Filed: 1982-05-19
Granted: 1990-01-25
Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring the condition in a vehicle wheel mounted tire. The system includes first and second LC circuits disposed within the tire and interconnected by a diode multiplier in series with a pressure switch. An exciter establishes an energetic electromagnetic field of a first frequency such that a first LC circuit is resonant at the same first frequency. This first frequency is converted into energy of a second frequency by a harmonic multiplier diode and is impressed upon a second LC circuit which is resonant at the second frequency, the second frequency being either an even or odd harmonic of the first (exciting) frequency. A receiver tuned to the second frequency interrogates the second LC circuit for presence of harmonic energy at the second frequency. A pressure switch opens when the tire pressure falls below a predetermined pressure which prevents activation of the second LC circuit so that the receiver will not sense the second frequency to which the second LC circuit is resonant, in which case there is provided an indication that the tire pressure is below the desired pressure. A scanner scans the receiver successively from one tire to another of a vehicle.

Title: Potential equalizing apparatus
Inventor: GRIFFIOEN GEURT
IPC: H05F3/02
Filed: 1983-07-22
Granted: 1986-05-28
Abstract: An apparatus for reducing the difference in electrical potential between two electrical conducting objects located a distance from each other in an electrical conducting medium includes an equalizing cable with a predetermined resistance valve detachably connected between the two objects. A current detector is coupled in series with the equalizing cable between the two objects and generates a first output voltage with a value dependent on the equalizing current in the equalizing cable. An instrument lead is also detachably connected between the objects. A voltage detector connected in series with the instrument lead between the objects senses the potential difference between the objects and generates a second output voltage having a value dependent on the sensed potential difference. A processing circuit receives the first and second output voltages and generates therefrom a third output voltage which is coupled to a decision circuit which generates an output signal representative of the deviation in electrical resistance between the objects along the equalizing cable and the predetermined resistance value of the equalizing cable.
