Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing and administering one or more drug solutions for continuous infusion. Flow rates are standardized by varying the drug concentrations according to a preestablished set of tables. The method of the present invention greatly simplifies clinical application of continuous infusion anesthesia, and allows easy preparation of different volumes which can minimize drug wastage. The standardization of rate taught by the present method eases interpretation and mixing, resulting in easier application of drugs and increased patient safety. An apparatus is desirably used to assist in achieving the objectives of the present invention. The device facilitates accurate and efficient conversion to the nonstandard flow rates required for special applications such as neonatal anesthesia and others. A computerized mix controller (20) coupled with a computer (23) capable of performing the mixing determination with the necessary operator inputs can mix and dispense the final drug solution into a ready-to-use bag (27).

Title: Self-locking safety syringe
Inventor: MARTIN ROBIN P
IPC: A61M5/178
Filed: 1993-01-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a safety syringe to prevent accidental puncturing of attending medical personnel by an infected syringe needle. The safety syringe has an elongated tubular casing, which houses an elongated needle guard, which is telescopically connected to the casing and is mounted in co-axial alignment with the casing. A syringe barrel is co-axially mounted within the needle guard, the syringe barrel carrying a needle assembly on one of its ends, and an end plate on its opposite end. The end plate "snaps" into a groove formed in a transverse flange of the casing, fixedly attaching the syringe barrel to the casing. A sealing plate covers the locked end plate by engaging within another groove formed in the flange. One or more resilient depressible locking tabs are carried by the needle guard and extend through corresponding aligned openings formed in the casing to lock the needle guard in an extended position covering the needle. When the locking tabs are depressed, and an inward pressure is exerted on the forward end of the needle guard, the needle guard can be moved against the tension of a coil spring inside the casing and uncover the syringe needle to allow withdrawing of medication from the medicine bottle, or performing of an injection.

Title: Aid to hearing speech in a noisy environment
Inventor: WALTON JOSEPH P
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1993-03-16
Abstract: A signal processing circuit is incorporated into an audio reproducing device for suppressing noise while preserving distinctive features of speech. A noise detecting circuit includes a low pass filtering circuit (12) and a level detector (14). An output signal (C) from the detecting circuit controls a variable high pass filtering circuit (20) to attenuate a range of low frequencies of an input signal (A) proportional to the detected level of noise. The variable high pass filtering circuit exhibits a family of variable response curves (22, 24, and 26) that vary in slope below a common cut-off frequency (28) that is below a range of frequencies that convey a majority of second formant transitions between consonants and vowels.

Date Oct. 28, 1993.A sprag clutch having inner and outer concentric races 1, 2 with sprags 3 pivotally located between the races 1, 2. A circumferential garter spring 6 locates over the sprags 3 to bias them to a wedging position. Relative rotation of the races 1, 2 in one direction causes a centrifugal force CF to act on each sprag 3 to pivot away from contact with the outer race 2. The center of gravity G of each sprag 3 is located radially inwards of its center of rotation C such that when the sprag 3 pivots the centrifugal couple CF increases to overcome the increased tension couple SF of the garter spring to allow a snap action lift off of each sprag 3. The perpendicular distance of the center of gravity from the pivot center of each sprag increases during pivoting to cause an increase in the centrifugal couple. At the same time the perpendicular distance of the pivot point of action of the resilient mean from the pivot center decreases during pivoting. The snap action substantially reduces the contact time between the sprags 3 and the outer race 2 and hence wear is reduced.

Abstract: Pour qu'un panneau de cristaux liquides (6) puisse réaliser une représentation multigradation de haute qualité au moyen d'un convertisseur A/N de petite taille (1), quatre groupes de tensions de référence sont agencés pour un convertisseur A/N à 4 bits (1). Pour l'affichage d'un premier pixel, on adopte le procédé "dither" (technique appelée "mélangeur commandé"), dans lequel de façon arbitraire deux des quatre groupes de tensions de référence sont commutés par trame afin de réaliser la conversion A/N. De même, pour l'affichage d'un second pixel adjacent, la représentation par le procédé "dither" est effectuée grâce à l'utilisation des deux groupes de tensions de référence restants. Ainsi, en raison de l'application du procédé "dither" par les différents groupes de tensions de référence entre les pixels adjacents, on produit une gradation par zone, rendant ainsi possible un affichage à 64 gradations par le procédé "dither" et la gradation par zone. On outre, étant donné que le cycle dither est de 1/30 de seconde, un affichage de haute qualité peut être obtenu sans perturbations du type scintillement.

More specifically, it has been found that flavopereirine is an active agent which on its own, whether in vitro or in vivo exerts a selective inhibitlye action on viral HIV infection, particularly in patients infected by HIV-1. Thus, there is provided a method for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus comprising administering to a human patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus an effective antiviral amount of a composition consisting of flavopereirine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or derivative thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The flavopereirine, or one of its salts or other acceptable pharmaceutical derivatives, is preferably administered in solid form containing approximately 250-500 mg of flavopereirine per dose.

Abstract: Un circuit de lecture pour mémoire à semi-conducteur comprend un transistor ballast (47) situé entre la sortie (29) d'un premier amplificateur de lecture (19) lisant la mémoire et un circuit de verrouillage (49). Le transistor ballast bloque la transmission de la sortie de l'amplificateur de lecture ou circuit de verrouillage à chaque fois qu'un état produisant une pointe de tension parasite est detecté. Un deuxième amplificateur de lecture (39) connecté à la cellule de mémoire par la même ligne conductrice (21) que le premier amplificateur de lecture produit une réponse plus rapide et présente un seuil de courant plus faible, ce qui permet de détecter l'état produisant une pointe de tension parasite. Un générateur d'impulsions (43) reçoit le signal de sortie (41) du deuxième amplificateur de lecture et produit une impulsion de signal de commande d'une durée prédéterminée consécutivement à la détection par le deuxième amplificateur de lecture de l'état produisant une pointe de tension parasite. L'impulsion est reçue par une grille de commande (48) du transistor ballast qui bloque le transistor pendant la durée de l'impulsion.
