Title: Network configuration management
Inventor: TSANG SIMON
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2003-01-14
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: Customer premise network configuration to enable a new service within the network is provided by a network configuration manager (200 Figure 2). The network configuration manager is either manually or automatically invoked upon a new service being used in the network. The configuration manager obtains a service template (220) for the service, which template provides generic end-to-end requirements for enabling the service. A configuration generator generates vendor-neutral device-configuration settings from the service template. A  service configuration validator module then validates the service (212).  Finally, an adaptor (214) module translates the vendor-neutral device-configuration settings to vendor specific configuration settings corresponding to the devices in the network and configures the devices.

Abstract: A pumping system 10, FIG. 1, provides a physiological pulsatile flow and includes controller 121, a pump drive head 50 coupled to a motor 12 and a fluid housing 52 having at least one port 60. The port 60 includes a ball valve retainer region 69, a valve seat 73, and an occluder ball 71 disposed in the ball valve retainer region 69. During operation, the motor 12 forces the fluid in and out the fluid housing 52 and causes the occluder ball 71 to move from a first position whereby the fluid cannot pass through the port 60, to a second position whereby the fluid moves annular to and generally around the occluder ball 71. This movement creates a slight flow reversal that "breaks up" any blood clots that may form. The pumping system may be used as part of a cardiopulmonary bypass system, a ventricular assist device (VAD) and/or a heart pump.

Abstract: In driving accessories by a crankshaft through a damper, the smooth performance in driving the accessories is ensured by a constitution in which the damper consists of a viscous coupling. The rotational driving force of the crankshaft is transmitted to the viscous damper hub through the meshing of a large diameter gear and a driven gear, the viscous damper forming a unit with the driven gear. The rotational driving force is further transmitted to a viscous damper housing through the hub 31 and the viscous coupling means, i.e., the viscous coupling means comprising a number of plates which are movable relative to each other in a space filled with silicon oil. The rotational driving force, which is transmitted to the housing and is dampened in toque changes by the function of the coupling means, is transmitted to a rotor shaft of an alternator to smoothly rotate the alternator rotor.

Title: Variable discharge sludge distributor
Inventor: HUFFMAN THOMAS R
IPC: A01C23/00
Filed: 2004-09-14
Granted: 2010-08-17
Abstract: Devices and methods for evenly distributing sludge, including manure and industrial sludge, to numerous hoses, over a large range of sludge supply pressures. Some devices include a housing having an inlet for receiving sludge under pressure and several outlets disposed outwardly through the housing cylindrical wall for coupling to hoses. The devices can include a rotating plate within the housing sweeping one or more baffles over the outlets to momentarily occlude the outlets and reduce flow through the occluded outlets. The baffles can include a first portion secured to the plate and a second portion removably secured to the first portion and/or the plate.      Changing the total length of the baffles can change the affective cross-sectional area of the outlets available for flow at any instant in time. increased sludge supply pressure may call for installing smaller sized baffles to reduce back pressure, while decreased sludge supply pressure may call for installing larger sized baffles to maintain sufficient back pressure to insure even flow. Even manure distribution onto fields over different pressure ranges can be provided.

Abstract: An arbor apparatus for mounting an attachment to a rotary tool includes a mandrel with a drive stage insertable into a passage in a drive boss such that rotation of the mandrel rotates the boss. The boss has a polygonal drive head engageable with the drive opening of the attachment. One end of the mandrel has a locking plate that approaches the drive head when the mandrel is inserted into the boss. The locking plate is sized to pass through the drive opening while also partially extending radially beyond the edge of the drive head. With the mandrel inserted through the boss, the locking plate is passed through the drive opening of the attachment. With a gap being maintained between the locking plate and the drive head, the mandrel is manually rotated to allow the drive head to enter the drive opening, simultaneously causing portions of the locking plate to extend beyond the edges of the drive opening. A locking nut is then tightened onto a threaded shaft axially adjoining the drive stage, thereby clamping the attachment between the locking plate and the drive boss. A chuck stage axially adjoining the threaded shaft can then be used to mount the apparatus to a rotary tool in well known fashion.

Title: Stent having struts with reverse direction curvature
Inventor: PINCHASIK GREGORY
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2005-06-03
Granted: 2012-10-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a stent having struts with reverse direction curvature for providing a reduced compressed profile and an increased expanded profile. The strut configuration comprises a plurality of arcuate sections facing in opposite convex and a concave orientation. The strut width may be gradually decreased from its ends towards the strut's mid-section to redistribute maximal strains away from portions of the stent more susceptible to permanent deformation, such as the loop portions. Varying strut lengths to offset the maximum circumferential widths of adjacent portions of the stent may further reduce the compressed stent profile. The varied stent lengths may also contribute to an increased expanded stent profile. Stents with the reverse direction curvature strut design can obtain an expanded to compressed stent diameter ratio of about 7:1 compared to conventional stents that have a ratio of up to about 5:1. The curved strut can be utilized with any stent design.
