Patent EP-1853155-A4 (EP)
Title: Measuring alertness
Inventor: JOHNS MURRAY
IPC: A61B3/113
Filed: 2006-03-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring drowsiness particularly in vehicle operators measures the amplitude to velocity ratio for eyelids closing and opening during blinking as well as measuring duration of opening and closing. The average values for the amplitude to velocity ratios for opening and closing are weighted and added to give a drowsiness measure that is compared to a scale of drowsiness based on data collected from alert and drowsy subjects. Other eye movements can be used in the weighted algorithm. The scale of drowsiness predicts the onset of drowsiness levels that render an operator unfit to continue.

Patent EP-1981995-A4 (EP)
Title: Non-invasive fetal genetic screening by digital analysis
Inventor: QUAKE STEPHEN
IPC: C12P19/34
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: The present methods are exemplified by a process in which maternal blood containing fetal DNA is diluted to a nominal value of approximately 0.5 genome equivalent of DNA per reaction sample. Digital PCR is then be used to detect aneuploidy, such as the trisomy that causes Down Syndrome. Since aneuploidies do not present a mutational change in sequence, and are merely a change in the number of chromosomes, it has not been possible to detect them in a fetus without resorting to invasive techniques such as amniocentesis or chorionic villi sampling. Digital amplification allows the detection of aneuploidy using massively parallel amplification and detection methods, examining, e.g., 10,000 genome equivalents.

Title: Power supply having a dc imput power source and pulsed current supplying stages.
Inventor: CHAMBERS DEREK
IPC: H02M3/315
Filed: 1983-10-07
Abstract: In a regulated, resonant inverter system for supplying direct current to a load  wide operating frequency swings required to compensate for output variations are eliminated by selectively switching combinations of binary weighted parallel resonant inverter stages (ST-1 to ST-4). The stages are tuned to the same frequency, but each stage has a different power capability determined by the square root of the ratio C/L, where C is the resonating capacitance (46-1 to 46-4) and L is the magnitude of the resonating inductor (42-1 to 42-4 and 44-1 to 44-4). For a desired output condition, a feedback circuit (19-27, 60) selects a stage or a combination of stages and controls the operating frequency thereof so that the operating frequency remains high at all power levels.

Title: Central controller with adaptive message handling characteristics
IPC: H04W88/18
Filed: 1990-09-04
Abstract: A central controller operating as a pager terminal for receiving, handling, and transmitting messages is shown that adaptively alters its message handling characteristics in order to improve the overall throughput of the central controller. The channel loading characteristics, based upon the time of day, are used in order to vary the limitation of the size of message received by the central controller as well as vary the transmission size and age of messages prior to transmission. Additionally, channel loading may be determined by determining the total size of messages within the central controller. In response to the total size determination, the limitation of the message size received by the controller may be varied. Furthermore, the transmission size and age of messages prior to transmission may be varied in response to the total size determination. The central controller may also adopt these operations in response to the combination of the total size determination and channel loading based upon the time of day characteristics.
