Title: Mobile emergency alert system
Inventor: RICORDI CAMILLO
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2007-11-09
Abstract: A health-related emergency mobile alert system to facilitate communication, care and intervention during critical events. The system communicates with medical monitors, which measure and collect a subject's physiological data and vital signs information. A service provider maintains a database with the subject's medical records and an emergency contact list. When a critical event is detected, a two-way mobile communication device that is configured to communicate with the medical monitor transmits the physiological data and location coordinates of the subject to the service provider, and a conference call with members of the emergency contact list is initiated to help facilitate aid to the subject. The two-way mobile communication device may include a speaker and GPS technology. It may also include self- activating features wherein pre-recorded messages conveying potential dangers are transmitted to the subject when the subject's physiological data and vital signs reflect precarious levels.

Inventor: SCHULZ HARRY W
IPC: G05D11/00
Filed: 2005-06-17
Abstract: A system for controlling operation of a progressing cavity pump to maintain the motor operating under power disturbance conditions. For a blackout condition, a backspin controller uses regenerative power to provide controlled deceleration of the pump, counteracting backspin and preventing backspinning freely. For a brownout condition, a power dip controller weakens the motor field to maximize pump production consistent with reduced input power availability. For a phase loss or voltage imbalance condition, a phase loss controller reduces motor power output to keep drive system output power at or below single phase capacity.

Title: Fuel cell assembly having embossed separator plates
Inventor: SUGIURA SEIJI
IPC: H01M50/77
Filed: 2009-06-05
Abstract: There has been a problem that the cell units cannot bear the load exerted on the units while being stacked since a fuel cell stack including a refrigerant channel formed between cell units each having an even number of electrolyte/electrode structures (MEA) and metal separators which are alternated does not have any structure supporting the separators forming the refrigerant channel in a stacking direction. In order to solve the above problem, in each of a first power generating unit and a second power generating unit, projections formed at the buffer portions of the separators are disposed in the same positions in the stacking direction with the MEA interposed therebetween. Since between the first and second power generating units, the projections of the buffer portions are staggered, the projections of the first and second power generating units are thereby disposed in the same positions in the stacking direction.
