Title: Method and apparatus for sampling bodily fluid
Inventor: PEREZ EDWARD P
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2002-09-25
Abstract: Bodily fluid is sampled by causing a syringe mounted in a housing to be displaced toward a skin surface. A suction element disposed on the housing i s utilized to create a suction in the area to be incised causing bodily fluid to pool. Additionally, the suction mechanism may be utilized to create a suctio n in the tube for drawing in bodily fluid through the piercing element and int o the tube. The syringe remains in the resulting incision while the surroundin g body tissue is stimulated by a stimulator ring to urge bodily fluid toward t he incision. Simultaneously, the syringe may be moved relative to the incision to keep the incision open. Such movement of the syringe may comprise reciprocation in the longitudinal or lateral directions, or both. Alternatively, the movement of the syringe may comprise rotation about a longitudinal center line of the syringe, with the pointed end of the syringe being in the shape of one-half of a cone segment. The suction may then be applied to the area being incised to promote further pooling of bodily fluid . After the bodily fluid has been pooled, suction may be created in a collecti on tube disposed in communication with the syringe, to draw bodily fluid inward ly through the syringe.

Inventor: FREEMAN JAMES M
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 2004-07-13
Abstract: A control system for a grain harvester. The control system monitors the output of a grain sensor and uses the monitored value to actuate one or more relays having different energization levels. As each relay is actuated it completes a circuit, which is used to modify power that is fed into a control mechanism and which is used to control an operational parameter of the harvester. Depending upon the monitored value of the sensor, the control system will modify the power that supplies a control mechanism that is used to control an operational parameter of the harvester, such as the groundspeed. If the output from the sensor is less that a predetermined threshold, the harvester will operate normally. If the output of the sensor is above a first threshold, the control system will modify the supply voltage. If the output of the sensor is greater than a second threshold, the control system will modify the supply voltage accordingly, and so forth. If the output of the sensor is greater than a maximum upper threshold, the control system will actuate an alarm so that the operator of the harvester may take corrective action.

Title: Polyurethane ionomers and methods for their preparation and formation
Inventor: RISEN WILLIAM
IPC: C08F2/00
Filed: 2003-07-01
Abstract: The invention relates to improved polyurethane ionomers and methods for maki ng the same. It was found that the polyurethane anionomers obtained by using th e method of the invention had improved physical properties than those made by conventional methods. For example, the polyurethane ionomers produced by the method of the invention exhibit a plateau in the plot of elasticity modulus (as log10E') vs. temperature over a useful and relatively broad temperature and frequency range. The polyurethane ionomers have nearly temperature- independent elasticity over a 50~C range in the region of ~ -20 to +75~C. Another advantage is that the polyurethane ionomers of the invention are optically clearer than the conventionally prepared polyurethane ionomers. A further advantage of the invention is that the synthetic process of making t he polyurethane ionomers is much faster than the known process for equivalent compositions. Additionally, striking tensile strength properties were observ ed for the polyurethane ionomers.

Title: Variable length wind turbine blade
Inventor: DAWSON MARK H
IPC: F03D7/02
Filed: 2003-06-04
Abstract: A wind turbine blade (10) made of a fixed blade section (16) with an integra l mounting flange (14) for attachment to a wind turbine hub (12). A moveable blade section (18) is attached to the fixed blade section (16) and is free t o move in a longitudinal direction relative to the fixed blade section. A positioning device (21) controllably positions the moveable blade section to vary the overall length of the blade. This allows the wind turbine's rotor diameter to be adjusted. The rotor diameter can be increased in order to provide high power output in low wind conditions and it can be decreased in order to minimize loads in high wind conditions.

IPC: A61N1/365
Filed: 2003-08-01
Abstract: The present invention demonstrates that continuous hemodynamic monitoring can be used to identify the optimal A-V-delay and/or heart rate in a pacemaker-implanted patient suffering from heart failure. The A-V-delay determines the timing of late diastolic filling in relation to the onset of ventricular contraction and the duration of diastolic filling. An optimal tuning of the A-V-delay improves left ventricular filling pressures in patients with a DDD-programmed pacemaker and is particularly important in the presence of a compromised left ventricular function
Patent CA-2494896-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PICARD PAUL A
IPC: H01Q5/35
Filed: 1999-12-01
Abstract: A monitoring system incorporates antennas that transmit signals at predetermined frequencies; the transmitted signals are received by tags located in the active monitoring area of the antenna which then transmit signals back to the antenna. The antennas are tuned to each desired frequency prior to driving the antennas to transmit at the desired frequency. The system transmits a range of frequencies in a sequence that uses overlapping frequency steps and incorporates an antenna system that employs digitally controlled, differentially driven, scanning transceivers, and walk through magnetic induction antennas positionable in various configurations to maximize detection of tags being transported through the antenna system. A carrier may be used to transport several frequency identification devices. The carrier includes at least one circuit having an antenna and a series capacitor for tuning the antenna. Enhanced interrogation and communication operations are provided when the tag carrying devices are placed in the carrier as the energy received in a first carrier pattern is re-radiated in a second pattern to improve transceiver communication without collision.
