Inventor: SPAHN JAMES G
IPC: A47C21/04
Filed: 1993-09-30
Granted: 1997-07-24
Abstract: In combination with an inflatable body support formed from a pair of plastic sheets joined together forming an air pressurizable chamber therebetween, the sheets having a plurality of aligned holes extending therethrough with the sheets being joined together around the circumference of each hole allowing body heat and moisture to flow through each hole but preventing air flow from the chamber into each hole, thereby providing an air cushion for supporting a person positioned thereatop that dissipates pressure, heat and moisture to prevent the onset of pressure sores and ulcers, the improvement which comprises: occluding the holes over which the torso, head and limbs of a person positioned atop the inflatable body support would not lie, thereby reducing the distension of the inflatable body support surrounding the occluded holes thereby volume centering the air within the air pressurizable chamber under a person positioned atop the inflatable body support; providing a pair of micro and macro adjustable, separable, and generally U-shaped anchoring straps, each strap having two generally boomerang-shaped halves disposed in mirror image relationship; and a novel connector that may be opened by two fingers that removably attaches the anchoring straps to the inflatable body support.

Title: Method using oxygen removal for extending the useful shelf-life of refrigerated red blood cells
Inventor: BITENSKY MARK W
IPC: A01N1/02
Filed: 1996-06-05
Granted: 1999-09-23
Abstract: Method using oxygen removal for extending the useful shelf-life of refrigerated red blood cells. A cost-effective, 4 DEG  C. storage procedure that preserves red cell quality and prolongs post-transfusion in vivo survival is described. Preservation of adenosine triphosphate levels and reduction in hemolysis and in membrane vesicle production of red blood cells stored at 4 DEG  C. for prolonged periods of time is achieved by removing oxygen therefrom at the time of storage; in particular, by flushing with an inert gas. Adenosine triphosphate levels of the stored red blood cells are boosted in some samples by addition of ammonium phosphate.

Title: Method of converting a series of M-bit information words to a modulated signal, method of producing a record carrier, coding device, device, recording device, signal, as well as a record carrier
Inventor: IMMINK KORNELIS ANTONIE SCHOUH
IPC: H03M7/00
Filed: 1996-08-26
Granted: 1999-04-01
Abstract: A method of converting a series of m-bit information words to a modulated signal. For each information word from the series an n-bit code word is delivered. The delivered code words are converted to the modulated signal. The code words are distributed over at least one group of a first type and at least one group of a second type. For the delivery of each of the code words belonging to the group of the first type the associated group establishes a coding state of the first type. When each of the code words belonging to the group of the second type is delivered, a coding state of the second type is established which is determined by an information word belonging to the delivered code word. When one of the code words is assigned to the received information word, this code word is selected from a set of code words based on the coding state. The sets of code words belonging to the coding states of the second type are disjunct. The DC and LF parameters of the modulated signal improve when in a coding state of the first type, by assigning a code word from a set of another state of the first type, while maintaining the dk-constraint. Selecting one of the sets of the first type results in the best momentary running DC value. The method can be applied to different coding state mechanisms.

Title: Stretchable cryoprobe sheath
Inventor: KOVALCHECK STEVEN
IPC: A61B18/24
Filed: 2000-08-24
Granted: 2003-02-06
Abstract: A sheath for use on a closed loop Joule-Thomson cryosurgical probe, and the combination of the sheath and the closed loop probe. The sheath is slipped over the probe, thereby separating the probe from the environment. The sheath has a grip which fits over the handle of the cryosurgical probe, and an extendible shroud which can be longitudinally extended to cover tubing and which are attached to the handle. The sheath has a hollow multi-lumen catheter shaped and sized to fit snugly over the cannula of the cryosurgical probe. The catheter is not thermally conductive, preventing transfer of heat from the ambient to the gas mixture, and preventing the freezing of tissues at undesired locations along the catheter. A thermally conductive cap or tip is attached to the distal end of the hollow catheter. The thermally conductive cap or tip is biased against the cold tip on the probe by a biasing element in the sheath assembly, to promote heat transfer.

Title: Peel seal zipper tape
Inventor: THORPE CHARLES C
IPC: B65D33/34
Filed: 1998-06-26
Granted: 2000-06-22
Abstract: A peel seal zipper tape for reclosable plastic bags or packages includes a first (14) and a second (16) mutually interlocking zipper profile disposed on a top surface of a laminated film strip (12). The top surface is formed by a layer (20) of a sealant material. The laminated film strip (12) also has a middle layer (24), or core, of a material stiffer than the first and second mutually interlocking zipper profiles (14,16), and may also have a bottom layer of a sealant material (26). In use, the laminated film strip (12) is folded over, and the zipper profiles (14,16) are interlocked with one another. In doing so, portions of the top surface of the laminated film strip (12) face inwardly, so that the folded film strip may be closed with a heat seal. The outside of the folded peel seal zipper tape, that is, the bottom layer (26) of sealant material is bonded to plastic sheet material (25) from which reclosable plastic bags or packages are made. In the production of the bags or packages, the mutually facing portions of the laminated film strip (12) are sealed together. The resulting seal gives a visual indication of having been broken when initially opened. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
