Title: Correlation of cardiac electrical maps with body surface measurements
Inventor: SCHWARTZ YITZHACK
IPC: A61B5/344
Filed: 2007-09-05
Granted: 2013-11-21
Abstract: A reliable endocardial map is obtained by constructing a matrix relationship between a small number of endocardial points and a large number of external receiving points using a multi-electrode chest panel. Inversion of the matrix yields information 5 allowing the endocardial map to be constructed. Subsequent maps are obtained noninvasively using the multi-electrode chest panel, applying new electrical signals to the matrix relationship, and again inverting the matrix to generate new endocardial electrical maps. cn r CQ C\2 CQ CC) CD C\2 Itil C:I C\2 C\2 C\2 co C\2 co co C\2 C\2 C\2

Title: A method and kit for testing stress effects in living organism
Inventor: RAVN HELLE WEBER
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2008-01-07
Granted: 2012-12-20
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of testing whether a living organism has been exposed to stress, such as pesticide exposure, e.g. whether weed crops has been exposed to herbicide. Based on non-separated compounds obtained from an organism e.g. an extract from a plant, a colour development is generated. The colour or shade developed is dependent on the compounds of the organism. By comparing the colour or shade of the extract obtained from an organism with a standard colour scale developed in respect of the same organism, it is possible to determine the final effect of the stress upon the growth of the plant. The invention also concerns a method of providing a standard colour scale for material from a living organism that has been exposed to stress e.g. to a pesticide. An assay kit for the determination of the final effect of the stress upon the growth of the plant is also described. The present invention may be used by farmers or advisors to predict the final effect of herbicide treatments of plants before visual signs appear on the plants.

Title: Z valve
Inventor: SCHLIENGER MAX P
IPC: F16K31/44
Filed: 2009-04-15
Granted: 2011-09-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a valve that controls a flow of gas or solid objects through a pipe, and particularly a z-valve used in an elevated rail transportation system. The valve includes vanes hinged to a valve stem that fold into a z-shape and retract into the valve body when the valve is open. A valve cap positioned at the top of the valve stem matches the contour of the inner surface of the pipe, allowing unobstructed flow. When the valve is closed, the valve stem is elevated into the interior of the pipe and the valve cap rotates 90 to match the contour at the top, providing a seal. The vanes extend from the z-shape to completely block a cross-section of the pipe, stopping the flow. The flow may be modulated by varying the extension of the vanes to allow a portion of the flow to pass the valve.
