Title: Electronic power control for cooktop heaters
Inventor: SHUKLA SANJAY
IPC: F24C7/08
Filed: 2002-06-26
Abstract: A power control system for an electric cooktop. The power level is set by a knob connected to a potentiometer. Potentiometer information is digitally communicated by a controller over a serial communication bus to a power unit. The power unit communicates power level display information back to the controller over the same serial communication bus. The display information is displayed as numbers on a digital display by the controller.      The power unit controls a heating element of the cooktop according to the potentiometer information. A second potentiometer can be added to control a second heating element by operating. as a slave to the first controller.  Further, multiple heating elements can be controlled by-a single potentiometer by dividing the angular rotation into.multiple segments or ranges.

Title: Fresh donor heart valve sizer and method of use
Inventor: NGUYEN SON VAN
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: A donor heart valve sizer and method of sizing to increase the quality and yield of, and decrease the expense of fabricating, prosthetic heart valves.  The sizer includes an axially-extending sizing portion size to fit within the lumen of a donor heart valve. The sizing portion may be conical such that a resistance to further insertion is felt when the exterior of the sizing portion contacts the annulus of the valve. A measuring bracket attached to the sizing portion includes a scale aligned with the sizing portion that indicates the final expected valve size based on the position of the fresh donor valve on the sizing portion. The measuring bracket includes regions of acceptable valve sizes, and may also include regions of unacceptable valve sizes. A  method of sizing includes utilizing the sizer in the slaughterhouse to reduce the overall number of valves shipped the valve assembly facility to obtain a particular valve size. The sizer and method are particular useful for sizing xenograft valves, especially porcine aortic valves. The sizing portion may be made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and have an included taper of approximately 4~.

Inventor: BARNOFF DALTON B
IPC: E04F17/02
Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: A base Tee connector far connecting, for example, an exhaust pipe to a chimney liner, includes a section of cylindrical pipe made of sheet metal. The base Tee connector includes an open top end adapted for connection with the chimney liner, and an open bottom. A portion of the sheet metal of the cylindrical pipe is deformed and thereby defines a flat open side end adapted for connection with an exhaust pipe. The flat open side end defines a plane substantially tangential to the section of the cylindrical pipe such that a horizontal section of a conventional base Tee connector is significantly shortened while the flat open side end feature of the conventional base Tee connector is retained. Thus, the base Tee connector of the present invention can pass relatively easily through a chimney passage, and it is also relatively easy to connect with an exhaust pipe within a limited space.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une technique permettant de détecter des polymères et des fragments de polymère par l'analyse de masse de données d'analyse de mélanges qui comprennent des versions marquées de ces polymères. On génère une bibliothèque de fragments de polymères fondée sur des fragments possibles d'un polymère parent. On génère pour chaque fragment de cette bibliothèque une masse théorique pour une version naturelle et pour une version marquée. La version marquée peut être fondée sur un isotope plus lourd d'un élément. Des données d'une analyse de masse telle qu'une analyse spectrographique de masse, sont reçues et analysées automatiquement de façon à identifier si on observe un doublet de masse pour chaque fragment de la bibliothèque. Les doublets de masse correspondent aux pics de masse des versions naturelles et des versions marquées des fragments de cette bibliothèque. On détermine si un pic de masse particulier provient d'un polymère parent marqué ou d'une source non marquée.

Abstract: The invention relates to infusions of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid (ciprofloxacin) which are stable in storage and which can be obtained by mixing between 0.015 and 0.5 g of active ingredient for 100 ml of aqueous solution with sulphuric acid or sodium hydrogen sulfate in a quantity equal to or less than 0.96 mole per mole of active ingredient, sufficient for dissolving the active ingredient and stabilising the solution. The invention also relates to methods for producing the infusions and the use thereof. The inventive infusions enable the acid content to be reduced, are more stable in storage with the same acid content than other known solutions, and enable a larger proportion of secondary components to be tolerated in the active ingredient than previous standard infusions of ciprofloxacins.
