Inventor: MILLER DONALD C
IPC: F16H61/664
Filed: 2000-10-24
Abstract: A support frame for traction rollers of a continuously variable transmission is disclosed for use in rotationally or linearly powered machines and vehicles.  The support frame comprises two support disks and a plurality of spacers positioned between the support disks and rigidly attached to the support disks. The support disks include groves, with each grove having a concave surface. A method of manufacturing the support frame is also disclosed. The single axle transmission provides a simple manual shifting method for the user. An additional embodiment is disclosed which shifts automatically dependent upon the rotational speed of the wheel.

Title: Inductive heating of tissues using alternating magnetic fields and uses thereof
Inventor: MARCHITTO KEVIN
IPC: A61F7/00
Filed: 2008-04-07
Abstract: With the present invention, it is possible to improve the cosmetic appearance of skin by controllably heating a superficial layer of skin thereby inducing acute tissue contraction or shrinkage and a wound response leading to the production of biomolecules, all of which result in improved cosmesis. The invention incorporates a source of radio frequency electrical energy coupled to coil, with requisite impedance matching network, thereby resulting in the production of an alternating magnetic field. When tissue is brought into proximity of the alternating magnetic field, inductive heating of the tissue results as a consequence of either or both of dipole formation and oscillation, and eddy current formation. Optionally, cooling is provided to remove heat from the coil, the source of radio frequency electrical energy, or the surface of the skin alone or in combination. The invention exhibits the significant benefits of, among other things, being non-invasive, not requiring electrical contact with the body of the subject, and providing controllable heating only to a thin layer of tissue. The invention is useful not only for cosmetic procedures such as facial rejuvenation, wrinkle treatment, acne treatment, hair removal, vascular lesion treatment, varicose vein treatment, curing of fillers, and treatment of cellulite, but also for surgical procedures such as coagulation, cauterization or for induction of biomolecular events such as a wound response, production of heat-shock proteins or an inflammatory response in tissue.

Inventor: HORN GAVIN B
IPC: H04W48/20
Filed: 2008-11-14
Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate identifying sectors using sector parameters signatures.  The signatures can be generated as a known function of a previous sector parameters signature (or message parameters), system time, and an identifier. In this regard, mobile devices can determine an expected identifier from comparing the sector parameters signature to a sector parameters signature computed based at least in part on the system time known to the mobile device. In addition, the mobile device can utilize a known or an inferred previous parameters signature to determine the expected identifier. Multiple signatures can be evaluated to determine expected identifiers to increase the likelihood of correct identification since the signatures are generated using the known variables along with the identifier.
