Patent EP-1328193-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VIERTO-OJA HANNA E
IPC: A61B5/16
Filed: 2001-10-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for ascertaining the cerebral state of a patient. The method/apparatus may find use in ascertaining the depth of anesthesia of the patient. In one embodiment, the entropy of the patient's EEG signal data is determined as an indication of the cerebral state. A frequency domain power spectrum quantity is obtained from the patient's EMG signal data. The latter quantity can be updated more frequently than the EEG entropy due to its higher frequency. The EEG entropy indication and the EMG power spectrum indication can be combined into a composite indicator that provides an immediate indication of changes in the cerebral state of the patient. In another embodiment, the frequency range over which the entropy of the biopotential signal from the patient is determined is broadened to encompass both EEG signal data and EMG signal data and the entropy so determined used as an indication of the patient's cerebral state.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de concentration d'un peroxyde d'hydrogène aqueux par cristallisation discontinue. Selon cette invention, une surface de refroidissement, agencée dans une cuve de cristallisation et d'abord humidifiée au peroxyde d'hydrogène, est refroidie à une vitesse de refroidissement élevée, de sorte que des cristaux germes se forment. Cette vitesse de refroidissement est d'au moins 1 K/s, de préférence de 10 à 30 K/s. Une fois que la cuve est remplie du produit de départ, à savoir de H2O2, ce dernier cristallise d'abord sous la forme desdits cristaux germes pour ensuite former une couche de cristal. Lorsque la solution-mère de concentration en H2O2 inférieure est déchargée, un processus de ressuage avec une faible augmentation de température entraîne une nouvelle augmentation de la concentration en H2O2 dans la couche de cristal.

Abstract: An economical and compact dual-chamber loudspeaker includes a small driver received within a partition extending between, and in acoustical and pneumatic communication with, both a front and a back chamber, each of which has a relatively small volume. An elongated vent is in acoustical and pneumatic communication between the front and back chamber at a substantially planar opening in the partition. The drone cone is in acoustical and pneumatic communication between the front chamber and the outside environment at a substantially planar opening in the housing. The two openings are spaced apart and generally parallel to each other. In a preferred embodiment, the volume of the chambers is minimized by securing an elongated concentric vent around the vent extending between the front and back chambers. In an alternative preferred embodiment, there are at least two elongated vents in acoustical and pneumatic communication with the front and back chambers, and each vent is spaced equal distance from the driver and from each other such that they distribute the pneumatic loads between the front and back chambers evenly, thereby preventing pneumatic forces emanating from the vents from applying asymmetric force to the drone cone.

Abstract: A system and a method provide a real-time-critical communication and a non-real-time-critical communication in a switched data network consisting of users and switching units, for example a distributed automation system, by a cyclic operation. In a transmission cycle, there exists for all users and switching units of the switched data network in each case at least one section for transmitting real-time-critical data and at least one section for transmitting non-real-time-critical data, as a result of which the real-time-critical communication is separated from the non-real-time-critical communication. Since all users and switching units are always synchronized to a common time base, the respective sections for transmitting data in each case take place at the same time for all users and switching units, i.e. the real-time-critical communication takes place independently in time from the non-real-time-critical communication.

The installation of the tubular body is with the aid of a vibrator fixed at its upper end. The tubular body is box-shaped and open at the bottom. Its vertical conduits are connected to the sources of compressed air and injection material and at their lower ends with outlet nozzles (17) directed into the interior of the tubular body. The outlet nozzles are arranged on opposing walls of the tubular body.

Abstract: Inkjet printing of barcodes (500) is enhanced by several methods. In a
printhead having two staggered columns of nozzles, using only the even (or
odd) column enhances resolution of a vertical barcode element (502). Filling
interior portions (604) of the barcode element with the odd (or even) column
improves barcode appearance. Barcode swelling, due to ink migration after
application, is reduced by use of a depletion matrix (700) to lessen the quantity
of ink applied. Application of the depletion matrix to the edges (902) of the
barcode elements resists swelling where resolution is most required. Where a
printing mask is applied to the edges (902) of the barcode elements (904), the
edges may be printed only by one column of printhead nozzles, or only during
one direction of printhead movement, or both. Alternately, removal of one or
more pixels along the edge (1002) of a barcode element (1004) allows each
barcode element to swell to the desired size.

Abstract: A transmitter (4) for a controlled-shape switched signal on a communication

loop responsive to a voltage across the capacitor (19) and to an input signal (TX)
for supplying a shaped current ( I S   ) for charging the capacitor (19) so as to define
an edge of the switched signal. Signal producing means (9, 21) in the signal
generator is responsive to the capacitor voltage for applying the controlled-shape
switched signal to the line. The signal generator includes an amplifier (49) having
an input terminal and an output terminal across which the capacitor means (19) is
connected and at which it generates an amplifier output voltage ( V O   ). 
     The feedback loop is arranged to maintain a minimum value of the shaped
current ( I S   ) at least in steady state conditions of the input signal (TX). The signal
generator comprises first and second current diversion means (52, 53) operative
at least in the steady state conditions in response to relative magnitudes of the
amplifier output voltage ( V O   ) and first and second limit voltages respectively for
controlling supply of charging current ( I c   ) to the amplifier and the capacitor (19) so
as to tend to reduce charging and discharging of the capacitor means (19) in the
steady state conditions and to maintain a steady state magnitude of the amplifier
output voltage ( V O   ) even against fluctuations induced by electromagnetic
perturbations on the communication line.
