Patent EP-1146184-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LAST HARRY J
IPC: E04H4/10
Filed: 2001-04-10
Abstract: A control system for controlling the movement of a pool cover
comprised of interconnected rigid buoyant slats and which uses a
driven cable through a remotely powered source as a primary drive
mechanism. The swimming pool cover is typically mounted on a drum
and often in a submerged condition. In order to overcome the
buoyant forces, the drive and control means must provide a braking
action to the pool cover which would tend to unwind from a drum as
a result of buoyant forces. The drive mechanism employs a cable
drive which will wind a cable upon a cable reel or drum mounted in
a remote location with respect to the cover drum. Cable could be
trained from the cover drum to this cable drum in order to power
same for rotation in at least a wind-up direction and could be used
for controlling a braking action in the unwinding direction.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of five-port
receivers, especially to a five-port junction device
(102) for the processing of modulated RF signals, a mobile
receiver comprising said five-port junction device (102) and
particularly to a method for processing said RF signals.
Thereby, a downconversion of the received RF signals and an
isolation between said RF signal (S 1 ) and a further RF signal
(S 2 ) originating from a local oscillator (LO), which is used
for said downconversion, can be enabled. 
     The five-port junction device (102) comprises at least two RF
input ports (401a+b) for two RF input signals (S 1  and S 2 ), at
least three output ports (401c-e) for output signals representing
three detected power levels (P 3 , P 4  and P 5 ), and two
passive N-port networks (114 and 402b) connected to each
other by means of a non-reciprocal circuitry (112a-c and
402a+c). The latter comprises two branches, in which the
first branch contains at least one phase shifter (112a) and
the second branch contains at least two phase shifters
(112b+c), wherein the first end of each particular branch is
connected to the first passive N-port network (114), and the
second end of each branch is connected to the second passive
N-port network (402b). Due to this structure a passive isolation
of the two RF input signals (S 1  and S 2 ) can be achieved
without needing any active circuit elements, irrespective of
the employed modulation scheme.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining whether a
treatment is effective in changing the status of a certain set of target cells,
such as a tumor, in a patient. This method implies obtaining a sample from a
patient after initiation of a treatment, and determining whether said sample
comprises an expression product of at least one marker gene. Preferably, said
sample is a blood sample. In one aspect, said expression product is expressed
by a peripheral blood mononuclear cell. Said marker gene may be a gene
involved in the generation, maintenance and/or breakdown of blood vessels
(angiogenesis). A method of the invention is very suitable to determine within
a few days if a certain treatment against Kaposi's Sarcoma is successful.
Moreover, this method is suitable for determining the presence of angiogenesis
and/or tumor cells in a patient.

Title: Preferred adi/r: a permanent pacing mode to eliminate ventricular pacing while maintaining backup support
Inventor: CASAVANT DAVID
IPC: A61N1/368
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: An ADI/R mode is implemented using an intelligent pacing system to continually monitor ventricular response. This ensures AV conduction whenever possible so as to gain all the benefits of cardiac contractile properties resulting from native R-waves. In the event where AV conduction is blocked, the pacing mode is switched to a DDD/R mode to ensure a paced R-wave. Thereafter, subsequent to a completed interval of a p-wave, ADI/R pacing resumes to monitor ventricular response.

Abstract: An abrasive compact cutting element includes an axisymmetric superhard
abrasive element having a proximal cutting end, an inwardly tapered distal
attachment end, and an outer surface; and an axisymmetric cemented
carbide support element configured to receive the abrasive element tapered
attachment end. The outer surface of the proximal cutting end of the
abrasive element is spaced-apart from the outer surface of the carbide
support element. The abrasive compact cutting element can be
manufactured by forming an axisymmetric annular cemented carbide
support element having an upper proximal end, a lower inwardly tapered
distal end, and an outer surface. Abrasive particles are disposed in the
annular cemented carbide support element. HP/HT processing forms an
polycrystalline abrasive particle compact having a proximal cutting end and
a tapered distal attachment end which compact is disposed within the
annular cemented carbide support element. Cemented carbide is removed
from the annular cemented carbide support element about its outer surface
to reveal the polycrystalline abrasive compact proximal cutting end which
has an outer surface that is spaced-apart from the outer surface of the
carbide support element.

IPC: H01R13/629
Filed: 2001-10-29
Abstract: The invention provides means for preventing arms of a lever from moving outwards
and changing shape, without having to increase the size of a connector. Thin members
55 of arms 52 make contact with thick members 62 of protecting walls 60, thereby
preventing the arms 52 from moving outwards. Since the portions of the protecting
walls 60 that make contact with the arms 52 are thick, they do not change shape due to
their receiving a pushing force from the arms 52. The arms 52 are thus reliably
prevented from changing shape. Further, the thick members 62 are located so as to
correspond to the thin members 55 of the arms 52. Consequently, the portions where
the thick members 62 and the thin members 55 overlap do not become overly thick, and
the connector does not increase in size.
