Title: Battery charger
Inventor: NOR JIRI K
IPC: H02J7/10
Filed: 1993-07-14
Granted: 1996-10-31
Abstract: A charger for rechargeable cells or batteries utilizes a mechanism whereby resistance-free voltage is continually monitored during periodic current-off intervals in the charging process and compared to an independent reference voltage to prevent overcharge. After a certain degree of charge has been obtained, the current is gradually reduced to a finishing charge. Several means are provided for terminating the finishing charge while avoiding overcharge. Another embodiment of a charger provides for measurement of the resistance-free voltage during the current-off period after sufficient time is allowed for the recombination of any oxygen which may have been produced during charging, thus taking into account inherent variations in cells of the same type.

Title: Waste water treatment, media therefor and its manufacture
Inventor: TODD JOHN JAMES
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 1996-02-13
Granted: 1999-12-23
Abstract: Granules of plastics material have grains of an inert mineral such as sand coated thereon to provide a habitat for microorganisms effective in waste water treatment, the granules having a predetermined particle size range, and the grains having a predetermined particle size range and being disposed at a predetermined packing density range on the granules. The particles have an average density of approximately 1.0 g/cc such that a proportion tend to float and a proportion tend to sink in the waste water. The particles arc manufactured by contacting the granules of plastics material with a mixture of grains of the inert mineral and grains of a soluble substance such as salt, at an elevated temperature, to coat the granules with the mixture, and subsequently dissolving the soluble substance grains from the coating to provide the granules coated with the grains of inert mineral in the predetermined packing density range.

Title: Prosthetic liner and method of making the liner with a prosthesis socket
Inventor: CASPERS CARL A
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 1993-10-27
Granted: 1996-07-25
Abstract: A visco-elastic polymer liner for use in donning over a residual limb and fitting within the socket of an artificial limb. The liner is shaped to have its cavity formed with a volume and shape less than a volume and shape of the residual limb for both tension and tissue configuration relief while the liner has an outer surface formed with a volume and shape greater than the volume and shape of the artificial limb socket for relief of certain tissue configurations and to create weight bearing, relief and compression areas on and in the liner to absorb and dissipate shock, shear and mechanical forces through the liner otherwise transmitted to the residual limb. The liner may have imbedded on its inner cavity side electrodes adjacent muscles that are sensitive to the muscle action potentials to generate signals to a power source to move an articulable artificial limb. The liner may take the shape of a tube to be donned over a paralyzed limb similarly having electrodes imbedded in its inner cavity side adjacent neuromuscular junctions which are connected to a muscle action potential generator to activate flexion and extension of the paralyzed limb. A method for making the liner is also claimed which comprises the making of a positive model of the residual limb, reducing the model, forming the liner about the reduced model and laminating a hard socket over a reduced model of the liner. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1998-07-02
Abstract: An electrotransport delivery device (10) with a display (14) having only on and off states, and a method of operating the display (14), are provided. Preferably, the display 14 is a light (e.g., a light emitting diode) with lit and unlit states or an audible alarm (e.g., a beeper) with sounding and silent states.

Title: Overvoltage protection device
Inventor: HAMMERMAYER ERNST
IPC: H01C7/12
Filed: 1994-07-15
Granted: 1997-05-01
Abstract: An overvoltage protection device (2) has a plurality of varistors (51) fitted in a housing, whose earth electrodes are electrically interconnected via a strip (58). The mains electrodes (53) of the varistors are connected to contacts (34) via separators (60, 61). The separators consist of a push-rod in the form of a tubular rivet (60) connected to the electrodes (53) via a soft-soldered point (61). The push-rod (60) can move in a guide (100) of insulating material. One end of each push-rod (60) act together with a rocker (70) shared by all the separators which can pivot in the overvoltage protection device. On triggering, i.e. when one of the varistors (51) is overloaded, the soft-soldered connection (61) opens and the push-rod (60) concerned, actuated by a release spring (62), pivots the rocker (70) so that further switching operations are triggered. The rocker (70) also bears an indicating device (90, 91) visible through a window in the housing of the overvoltage protecting device (2), making it possible to see from outside that one of the separators (60, 61) has been triggered. As a single rocker (70) is allocated to all the separators, the design of the overvoltage protecting device is simple.
