Title: Custom-fitted body protective device with variable reinforcement
Inventor: PARKER BRUCE A
IPC: A61F5/058
Filed: 1996-10-11
Granted: 1999-09-30
Abstract: A medical bandaging product which includes a storage package formed of moisture-impervious material and sealable to prevent entry of moisture, with a medical material positioned in the storage package and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. The medical material includes a substrate having a variable thickness with a relatively thick predetermined central area to provide rigidity, and relatively thin predetermined edge areas to provide less rigidity to the edge areas for ease in molding the medical material around to part to be bandaged. A reactive system is impregnated into or coated onto the substrate, the system remaining stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self supporting structure. A protective wrapping encloses the substrate along its length to provide a barrier between the substrate and the skin of a patient when the material is in use.

Title: Direct vision prostate balloon catheter
Inventor: RUDNICK JAMES J
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 1991-06-25
Granted: 1994-03-10
Abstract: A direct vision prostate balloon catheter for treating benign prostate hyperplasia to dilate a prostate gland to reduce constriction of the urethra is provided. The catheter includes an expandable balloon (31) and a sighting device such as a cystoscope telescopic lens (40) proximal to the veru montanum to assist in properly positioning the expandable member. The balloon (31) can have a thickened distal (32) end and an overlapping proximal end (33) to prevent undesirable migration during expansion. Alternatively, the balloon can be mounted on two tubes, one slidable axially inside the other to control balloon extension during expansion of the balloon. This construction provides advantages such as proper dilation of the prostatic urethra and helps prevent undesirable dilation of the external sphincter. <IMAGE>

Title: Mobile telecommunications system
Inventor: O'NEIL DOMINIC DESMOND PHELIM
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1998-08-05
Granted: 2001-08-09
Abstract: A telecommunications system including a plurality of mobile telephones has a switch network including: data storage units (HLR) for storing connection data relating to respective mobile telephones; a register (15) for storing associations between data storage units and respective identification codes; inputs for inputting an identification code; and a switch unit (30, 31) for interrogating the register (15) to permit determination of the data storage unit (HLR) associated with that identification code. The switch network then uses the connection data stored by the data storage unit (HLR) to form a telecommunication link with the corresponding mobile telephone. The register unit (15) has two states. In a first state the register unit (15) and switch unit (30, 31) determine the data storage unit (HLR) associated with the input identification code. In a second state, the register unit (15) is linked to a routing unit (40). The routing unit (40) may then handle the call in one of various different ways such as re-routing the call back to the network or terminating the call. The state of the register unit (15) is determined by a condition such as time of day or origin of call.

Title: Mixing head
Inventor: BAUER ADOLF
IPC: B29B7/22
Filed: 1982-09-27
Granted: 1986-03-27
Abstract: A mixing head for two reactive components, e.g. the components of a settable synthetic resin mixture, comprises a mixing chamber in which a plunger is shiftable to block and unblock the nozzle orifices and drive the reaction mixture from the chamber through an outlet. At least one of the nozzles is carried on a readily shifting slider which cooperates with a similarly shiftable obturating member to define a small premixing chamber, as desired, and deflect the mixture through at least 90 DEG  within the mixing chamber. This system is especially effective for the mixing of reactive components which have hitherto been found to be difficult to mix with conventional mixing heads.

Title: Nondestructive testing of dielectric materials
Inventor: LITTLE JACK R JR
IPC: G01N22/00
Filed: 1998-09-22
Granted: 2002-05-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method for the nondestructive inspection of dielectric matierals are disclosed. Monochromatic, phase coherent electromagnetic radiation (6), preferably in the 5-50 gigahertz frequency range (i.e. microwaves) impinges on the sample. In accordance with Snell's law, the microwaves are partly transmitted and partly reflected at each interface where the dielectric constant changes due to irregularities. A portion of the reflected beam is combined with the signal reflected by the specimen being inspected. These two signals have the same frequency, but may differ in amplitude and phase. The signals combine to produce an interference pattern, a pattern that changes as the specimen changes, or as the position of the specimen changes relative to a detector (2, 4). A computer (10) is programmed to distinguish features in the interference pattern attributable to irregularities in the material from features in the interference pattern attributable to sources of noise.

Title: Precision pulse generator increases signal to noise ratio - by halving number of harmonics reaching mixer and by use of nonlinear circuit
IPC: H03B21/02
Filed: 1970-12-16
Abstract: The precision pulse generator has its signal to noise ratio increased by halving the number of harmonics presented to the mixer. A non-linear circuit (V) is used to distort the output of a crystal oscillator to produce the required frequency spectrum. The resulting harmonics are frequency divided (T), differentiated and LP filtered before reaching the mixer (M1). The divider is arranged so that with the generator frequency selector (S) in one position only even-harmonics reach the mixer, whilst in the other position only odd harmonics reach it.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain activated carbon having pores of suitable shape based on a result of specifying a pore structure of a porous carbon to be used for an electrode material of an electric double layer capacitor by an image analyzing method. CONSTITUTION:When a shape of pores of activated carbon is specified by an image analyzing method by a transmission type electron microscope, the pores which are assumed to have a conventional cylindrical shape have a slit state or an elliptical state. Thus, aqueous solution electrolyte is effective for an electrode material having pores of a slit width and a slit length of a range of 1.5 to 3 times as large as a diameter of a water molecule, and organic electrolyte solution is optimum for an electrode material having pores of (ion size +2 or more) of solvated ions of the solution in an electronic double layer capacitor having a large electrostatic capacity.
