Title: A nutritional composition comprising dried fruit solids and an oligosaccharide and its use for treating osteoporosis
Inventor: JOHNSON CATHERINE D
IPC: A23L21/12
Filed: 2005-07-25
Abstract: Disclosed are nutritional compositions and methods of using the compositions for treating or preventing osteoporosis. The compositions comprise (A) those dried fruit solids that inherently comprise flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and a fiber component of which at least about 20% by weight is soluble fiber, and (B) a soluble, indigestible oligosaccharide in addition to any soluble fiber inherently in the dried fruit solids. The dried fruit solids may also be characterized as those selected from dried plum, dried grape, dried date, or dried fig. The combination of dried fruit solids (e.g., dried plum solids) and soluble indigestible oligosaccharides (e.g., fructooligosaccharides) have been found to be surprisingly more effective in affecting bone mineral density than either component when used alone, thus allowing for reduced concentrations of such ingredients in a nutritional product form such as a beverage or solid nutritional bar.

Title: Measurement while drilling bi-directional pulser operating in a near laminar annular flow channel
Inventor: KUSKO DAVID
IPC: H04H60/31
Filed: 2004-10-23
Abstract: A device, method, and system for creating a pressure pulse from drilling fluid within a drill string in a down hole drill collar for enabling measurement-while drilling. The device and system are designed such that primarily laminar flow exists in the area surrounding the pulser apparatus. The method associated with the reproducible and essentially noise-free pulses occurs when a pulser bell is manipulated in an upward and downward direction by a combination of the solenoid activation of a bi-directional poppet to redirect the fluid flow from the pressure reservoir to and from a sliding pressure chamber and associated upper and lower flow connecting channels. The pulse or non-pulse is converted into a digital signal uphole by a pressure transducer in conjunction with a decoding algorithm. It is then displayed to the driller and oilfield operators as useful directional and formation information that help the oilfield operator for uphole decision making regarding directional drilling. Additional pulsers can be added to the tool so that higher data bit rates can be accomplished, These higher data bit rates will provide for more comprehensive data collection thereby reducing drilling costs and optimizing oil field yields. The higher bit rate allows for more sensors that can send additional and improved information uphole without the use of open hole wire line logging which is impossible to accommodate while drilling horizontally.

Title: Detection of body sounds
Inventor: GROSS VOLKER
IPC: A61B7/00
Filed: 2006-10-25
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting and monitoring body sounds in humans and animals, in which bioacoustic sensors and analyzers that are mounted downstream are used for the stationary or mobile long-term monitoring of intensive care patients' respiration, for example. The patients' lung sounds are detected and stored along with measured data which are available right away especially for the early detection of diseases and acute disturbances.  Adequately monitoring intestinal sounds makes it possible to evaluate peristalsis and detect mechanical/paralytic ileus early on. An early warning system for the clinical sector immediately generates signals allowing doctors and nurses to take rapid action in case of an emergency. The inventive apparatus requires a maximum of only three bioacoustic sensors (12), each of which can be fixed to a point of an object body (K) facing the object, a maximum of one sensor (14) for recording surrounding noises, a maximum of four separable channels (11) for recording and transmitting sound signals or sound data detected by the sensors (12), and devices for supplying power and forwarding, converting, storing, and displaying sequences of signals or data on or in a recorder or a computer unit (20).
