Title: Calibration of a whole blood sample analyser
Inventor: WARDLAW STEPHEN C
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 1999-02-17
Granted: 2002-05-16
Abstract: Formed constituents of a quiescent anticoagulated whole blood or other biologic fluid sample are optically analyzed by an optical scanning instrument. The sample is contained in a sample chamber that has a varying through plane thickness. The thickness of any fields of view in the blood sample which contain plasma lacunae can be calculated by the instrument as a function of signal emission strength emanating from the colored plasma in the lacunae. The signal emissions can be the result of sample fluorescence or can be the result of signal density emanating from the sample. Particle volumes can be measured as a function of signal emission suppression which is caused by formed particles in the blood sample. The scanning instrument is calibrated by means of the inclusion of a calibration area associated with the chamber which calibration area includes a portion which receives a known depth of colored plasma from the blood sample, and which calibration area also includes a colorant-emission-suppressing feature which feature has a known volume. The scanning instrument scans the known depth portion of the calibration area to determine what degree of signal emission strength correlates to the known depth, and the scanning instrument also scans the colorant-emission-suppressing feature to determine what degree of signal suppression correlates to the known volume of the aforesaid feature. The instrument stores the information gained from the calibration area and then proceeds to analyze the blood sample for formed constituent volumes and constituent counts per unit of the blood sample.

Title: Method and apparatus for enhanced audio/video services with watermarks and associated data
Inventor: HOLLAR MARK A
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2000-02-25
Granted: 2003-07-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlled copying of a video or an audio signal transmitted over a cable television or direct satellite broadcast system, or the internet is described. Copyrighted video or audio material is protected from unwanted recording by the combination of a first watermark (W1) inserted into the video or audio signal by a content provider (10a) together with additional copy protection in the form of a second watermark (W2). The watermark or marks (W1, W2) are embedded in the active portion of the video or audio signal. Only if the consumer is willing to pay a fee is the video signal with the single watermark (V + W1) transmitted to the recording device (42a) which is then enabled to copy the video signal. However, where copying is permitted, the recording device is arranged to embed the second watermark (W2) into the video signal (V + W1 + W2) to be recorded onto a disc (46a) whereby further copying is prevented. This enables a single copy to be made upon payment. <IMAGE>

Title: Self-priming dosing dispenser for toilet
Inventor: DIRKSING ROBERT STANLEY
IPC: G05D11/03
Filed: 1979-08-13
Granted: 1982-06-03
Abstract: A self-priming passive dosing dispenser for issuing, beginning with the first flush, a quantity of a toilet tank additive solution into a toilet tank as the water is draining therefrom while the toilet is flushing. A preferred dispenser comprises a reservoir for containing a quantity of a toilet tank additive type product and in which reservoir a solid type product can be dissolved to form a product solution. Structure is provided for flooding the reservoir through the discharge standpipe upon initial immersion of the dispenser into the toilet tank water to ensure first flush dispensing of product solution. In steady state operation, while the water in the toilet tank is receding from about the dispenser, a predetermined dose-volume of toilet tank water is vacuum-transferred from a measuring cavity located within said dispenser into said reservoir through an inlet conduit, and a substantially equal dose-volume of the product solution is dispensed through a discharge standpipe. The dispenser may further comprise an internal baffle to precipitate mixing and agitation inside the dispenser which promote dissolution. Upon reaching steady state operation, the dispenser provides an air-lock when immersed in a full toilet tank which air-lock isolates the product and product solution from toilet tank water which surrounds the dispenser during quiescent periods. Plural product co-dispensers which embody the present invention are also disclosed.

Granted: 1999-03-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for screening or sensing disease states, injury sites or bodily conditions in a human or animal subject by separately detecting the DC biopotential of the electromagnetic field at a plurality of test points in a test area. The DC biopotentials are converted by analog to digital converters connected to DC biopotential test sensors at the test points into digital test signals, and the DC biopotential test sensors and analog to digital converters form a biopotential sensing section which is separate from a processing section that receives and processes the digital test signals. Signals between the processing section and the biopotential sensing section are transmitted by a transmission network which electrically isolates the two sections. The conversions performed by the analog to digital converters are synchronized with the AC line frequency of the apparatus power supply, and the digital test signals are filtered in the processing section by digital filters, each of which is dedicated to an individual DC biopotential test sensor. <IMAGE>

Title: An apparatus and method for determining a program neighbourhood for a client node in a client-server network
Inventor: DUURSMA MARTIN
IPC: H04L29/00
Filed: 1999-12-30
Granted: 2003-09-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a program neighborhood of a client node in a client-server network is described. The program neighborhood of the client node includes application programs hosted by application servers on the network. The present invention enables a user of a client node to learn of these application programs. The user is not required to know where to find such applications or to manually establish links to such applications. To make the client node aware of its program neighborhood, a host server collects application-related information corresponding to application programs hosted by the servers in the network. The application-related information can include the application name, the server location of the application, minimum capabilities required of client nodes for executing the application, and those users who are authorized to use that application. User credentials are received from the client system. The user credentials are used to filter the application-related information. Information representing those application programs that are available to the client node is transmitted from the host server to the client system for display. In a Windows-based client node, the information can be represented by a graphical icon for each available application program.
