Title: Mitral valve annuloplasty ring for molding left ventricle geometry
Inventor: BOLLING STEVEN F M D
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2002-11-12
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: An annuloplasty ring for correcting maladies of the mitral annulus that not only reshapes the annulus but also reconfigures the adjacent left ventricular muscle wall. The ring may be continuous and is made of a relatively rigid material, such as Stellite. The ring has a generally oval shape that is three-dimensional at least on the posterior side. A posterior portion of the ring rises or bows upward from adjacent sides to pull the posterior aspect of the native annulus farther up than its original, healthy shape. In doing so, the ring also pulls the ventricular wall upward which helps mitigate some of the effects of congestive heart failure. Further, one or both of the posterior and anterior portions of the ring may also bow inward.

Title: Apparatus for redundant multiplexing and remultiplexing of program streams and best effort data
Inventor: NORONHA CIRO ALOISIO JR
IPC: H04J3/02
Filed: 2003-05-29
Granted: 2011-10-11
Abstract: A redundant remultiplexer (500) is described which is capable of remultiplexing fixed length transport stream packets. Illustratively, at least some of the packets contain program data, i.e., data with a sensitive delivery schedule, such as variably compressed audio-video data. An example of such variably compressed data is MPEG-2 encoded video. The redundant remultiplexer has a chassis architecture with input modules (521) that receive externally originating transport packets, output modules (521) that output externally selected transport stream packets and switch modules (531, 532). The switch modules perform a packet switch function, i.e., they switch selected packet received by the input modules to respective output modules on a packet by packet basis, e.g., based on address information in each respective switched packet. The switch modules can also receive externally supplied packets and output externally respective packets. Each, module has a backup module (522) that assumes the role of the modules for which it is a backup in the event of failure. In the case of input and output modules, the backup module is actually running, even while standby mode, but otherwise disables its output.  The reason is that packets must be processed as a preliminary step to outputting them (e.g., to ensure that the strict delivery schedule is maintained). This manner of operation enables quicker recovery and fewer lost packets, especially where retransmission of lost packets (e.g., program bearing packets) to an ultimate receiver is not possible.

Title: A wind turbine for use offshore
Inventor: NIELSEN FINN GUNNAR
IPC: F03D1/00

Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: A procedure and a device in connection with the use of a wind turbine offshore, comprising a wind turbine (2) connected via a shaft (not shown) to a generator (3), which is rotationally mounted on a tower (4), and a foundation underneath in the form of a float (6) on which the tower (4) is mounted.   The float (6) is designed to be anchored so that it can move freely in the vertical plane via a mooring in the form of mooring lines, hinge or tether (7), whereby, as a consequence of the effect of the waves on the float, the motion of the wind turbine (2) will act as a damping mechanism on the motion and thus extract energy from the waves.   The wind turbine's resonance period is adjusted by adjusting the platform's centre of gravity and/or the tension in the anchor (7) with which the wind turbine is attached to the sea bed.

Title: Apparatus and methods for separating and joining tubulars in a wellbore
Inventor: SIMPSON NEIL ANDREW ABERCROMBI
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2001-11-08
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for cutting tubulars in a wellbore. In one aspect of the invention, a cutting tool having radially disposed rolling element cutter is provided for insertion into a wellbore to a predetermined depth where a tubular therearound will be cut into an upper and lower portion. The cutting tool is constructed and arranged to be rotated while the actuated cutters exert a force on the inside wall of the tubular, thereby severing the tubular therearound. In one aspect, the apparatus is run into the well on wireline which is capable of bearing the weight of the apparatus while supplying a source of electrical power to at least one downhole motor which operates at least one hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump operates a slip assembly to fix the downhole apparatus within the wellbore prior to operation of the cutting tool. Thereafter, the pump operates a downhole motor to rotate the cutting tool while the cutters are actuated.

Abstract: A transparent skin panel for use in a mobile platform having a plurality of metal sheets (26). A fiber reinforced resin (36) at least partially surrounds the plurality of metal sheets (26). The fiber reinforced resin (36) is transparent. A cutout (32) is formed within each of the plurality of metal sheets (26), which is filled by the transparent resin (36) during the manufacturing process. The cutout (32) corresponds to a window (16) in the transparent skin panel (10). The transparent skin panel thus eliminates the need for a bulky and heavy frame structure that has traditionally been employed on aircraft, and which has heretofore limited the size of windows used on an aircraft. The present invention thus enables larger windows to be incorporated on aircraft without increasing the weight or cost associated with such windows.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes a user interface (15). The user interface includes a card reader (16), receipt printer opening (30), cash dispensing opening (38) and deposit accepting opening (40). A stack of notes (84) input to the machine are separated one by one from the stack through the action of at least one picking member (158, 352) and at least one stripper member (64, 162, 354). The actions of non- contact stripper rolls and a contact stripper roll are generally effective to only enable a single note to move past the stripper members. Upon sending that multiple notes have moved past the stripper members with a sensor (176, 366) the system is operative to return notes to the stack for subsequent picking trials. In some cases the stripper members may be driven so as to move notes engaged therewith relative to a note engaged with stripper member so as to reorient the notes and facilitate note separation in subsequent picking events.
