IPC: A41H25/00
Filed: 2000-05-04
Abstract: A position sensor is arranged to detect the position of a mechanical interaction, such as the application of manual pressure. A first fabric layer has electrically conductive fibers machined therein to provide a first conductive outer layer allowing conduction in all directions along the layer. A second fabric layer has electrically conductive fibers machined therein to provide a second conductive outer layer allowing conduction in all directions along the layer. A central layer is disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The central layer includes conductive elements. A first insulating separating element is disposed between the first conductive outer layer and the conducting elements.

Title: Improvements to feeding-bottle devices with adjustable air inlet
Inventor: SERRE JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: A61J11/04
Filed: 1993-09-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to a feeding-bottle device with adjustable air inlet. This device comprises a feeding-bottle (2) having a top-edge face (9), a clamping ring (3) having a flange (10) opposite this top-edge face (9), and a teat (1) having a collar (18) interposed between the flange (10) and the top-edge face (9). By varying the degree by which the clamping ring (3) is screwed onto the feeding-bottle (2), the air inlet passages (26) between the collar (18) of the teat (1) and the top-edge face (9) can be closed or opened. In order to allow a fine adjustment of the cross-section presented by these air inlet passages (26), the clamping ring (3) and the feeding-bottle (2) have respective screwing means (30, 31), the first consisting of studs (32) and the second of inclines (137) which are capable of interacting with these studs and have a milder slope in a screwing zone (41) with clamping of the collar (18) than in a non-clamping screwing zone (42). <IMAGE>

Title: Rectified catadioptric stereo sensors
Inventor: GLUCKMAN JOSHUA M
IPC: H04N13/239
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: The invention presents catadioptric (single-camera) sensors using one or more mirrors (1-5) to produce rectified stereoscopic images. By combining multiple views (using the mirrors) to form a composite stereo image that is already rectified (i.e., has scan-line correspondence), the invention aids provision of real-time stereo images by avoiding computational cost and image degradation due to computer-rectification-related resampling when rectifying. The invention specifies the number of mirrors (1-5) that must be used and the geometric/locational constraints on those mirrors that must be substantially satisfied to obtain rectified stereo images with a single camera. The invention also discloses specific configurational techniques for how the mirrors should be placed to minimize sensor size. The configurational/geometric parameters disclosed enable cost-efficient, compact, and error-tolerant single-camera stereoscopic image sensing system and methods, removing the need for computer-controlled image rectifying steps and allowing for convenient computerized capture, processing, manipulation, storage, and transmission of stereo images.

Title: Improved desalination of ocean water
Inventor: HATA SEIJI
IPC: B01D3/34
Filed: 2001-03-29
Abstract: The present invention is an improved type of distillation of water. Usual distillation is related to a liquid's boiling point. However, it is possible to distill significant quantities of water at temperatures well below the boiling point. During distillation a compound is taken from a liquid-phase to the gas phase and then condensed to the liquid again to get a pure liquid. The present invention uses water sprayed (105) and adsorbed onto a solid surface such as micro-powder (104) made from wood as a starting material. Absorbing water onto such a surface results in rapid evaporation with a relatively low temperature gradient when the water and particles are agitated. The present invention could be characterized as solid-phase distillation.

Title: Dynamic automatic gain control in a hearing aid
Inventor: LUDVIGSEN CARL
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: Automatic gain control in a hearing aid is effected by detecting an input sound level and/or an output sound level and adapting the output sound level supplied by the hearing aid in response to the detected sound level by controlling the gain of the hearing aid towards an actual desired value of the output sound level. The gain control is effected at increases and decreases, respectively, of the input sound level by adjusting the gain towards the actual desired value with an attack time and a release time, respectively, which are adjusted in response to the detected sound level to a relatively short duration providing fast gain adjustment at high input and/or output sound levels and to a relatively long duration providing slow gain adjustment at low input and/or output sound levels.

Title: Specifically crosslinked hemoglobin with free functionality
Inventor: KLUGER RONALD
IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1993-11-12
Abstract: Hemoglobin is site-specifically crosslinked into its tetrameric form by reaction with a trifunctional reagent which combines electrostatic effects, steric effects and the presence of functional groups so that two of the functional groups react with specific sites on the hemoglobin whilst the third site is left free for reaction with endogenous nucleophilic compounds. A specific example of such a crosslinking reagent is trimesoyl tris(3,5-dibromosalicylate), TTDS, which effects specific crosslinking between the amino groups of lysine-82 on each respective  beta  sub-unit. While the crosslinking reagent TTDS has three available carboxyl groups for the crosslinking reaction, only two so react, leaving one free carboxyl for reaction with exogenous nucleophiles, e.g. to render the hemoglobin product useful as a carrier for nucleophilic compounds through the body's circulatory system.
