Title: Measurement methods and systems
Inventor: DAHLBAECK MAGNUS
IPC: A61B5/08
Filed: 1995-05-24
Abstract: In a method for measuring a dose of a drug inhaled by an animal, the momentary concentration of the drug in an aerosol supplied to the animal is determined as well as the momentary inhalation flow rate of the animal. An inhaled partial dose is calculated from each determined inhalation flow rate value and a corresponding concentration value. The calculated inhaled partial doses are added up to obtain the total dose inhaled by the animal. When a predetermined dose is to be administered to the animal, the inhaled partial doses are successively cumulated and compared with the predetermined dose. The aerosol generation is interrupted as soon as the predetermined dose is achieved.  Systems for carrying the methods into effect are disclosed.

Title: Electrical plug with threaded interlock
Inventor: BRADLEY GEORGE C
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 1996-12-23
Abstract: The electrical connector with threaded interlock comprises a male electrical plug having an plug body and male electrical terminals, and a female electrical plug having an plug body and female electrical terminals. One of the plugs is externally threaded with the threads extending along the body of the plug in a direction away from the electrical terminals. The other of the plugs has a cylindrical collar member slidably and rotatably mounted on it. The collar member is internally threaded such that the internal threads may cooperate with the external threads on the externally threaded plug. The collar member is moveable between a retracted position with the collar member clear of the electrical terminals, and an extended position such that the internal threads of the collar member can be moved into contact with the external threads for engagement with each other thereby securing the male and female plugs together. Since the external threaded portion extends in a direction away from the electrical terminals, and the collar member is retractable to a position clear of electrical terminals, the connector does not interfere with the electrical terminals of either the male or female plug. This allows a plug having either the external thread or the collar member to be used with a standard plug on a power cord, or with a standard wall outlet.

Title: Field emitter liquid crystal display
Inventor: AKINWANDE AKINTUNDE I
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 1995-10-20
Abstract: A liquid crystal display having pixels illuminated by field emitter arrays (100). The field emitter arrays may be utilized to illuminate each pixel individually or to be a backlight lamp to illuminate the whole display, whether monochrome or color. A field emitter array back-lighted liquid crystal displays, whether active matrix or passive, provide greater compactness, higher luminous efficiency, more brightness, and longer lifetime than a fluorescent lamp. Field emitter arrays may also provide light in various colors for the liquid crystal display thereby eliminating the need for color filters which result in duller colors than that of field emitter arrays. Each color filter absorbs two-thirds of the light that it receives. A color filter liquid crystal color display exhibits colors that have diminished chromaticity and purity in comparison to those of a field emitter array liquid crystal display.
