Title: Method for applying zipper to film at tube on a form-fill- and-seal machine
Inventor: ERDEN DONALD L VAN
IPC: B65B9/20
Filed: 1996-04-10
Granted: 1997-06-26
Abstract: The method includes the step of providing a continuous sheet of thermoplastic material with a Z-fold extending longitudinally along it before the sheet is wrapped around a filling tube for forming and filling the packages. The Z-fold is maintained on the tube of thermoplastic material thus formed until it reaches a loop opener on the outside surface of the filling tube. The loop opener transforms the Z-fold into a loop extending longitudinally along and outwardly from the filling tube and from the tube of thermoplastic material wrapped around it. Simultaneously, a continuous plastics sliding clasp fastener having a pair of mutually interlocking profiles is directed into the tube of thermoplastic material along a channel on the outside surface of the filling tube. The sliding clasp fastener is ultimately guided out from the channel, through the loop opener and into the loop, and is sealed to it to form the reclosable openings for the plastics packages being manufactured.

Title: Cerebral biopotential analysis system and method
IPC: A61B5/374
Filed: 1990-03-13
Granted: 1993-07-08
Abstract: Disclosed is a real time cerebral diagnostic apparatus and method for quantitatively evaluating, in a noninvasive manner, cerebral phenomena such as the depth and adequacy of anesthesia pain responses during surgical stress, acute cerebral ischemia, level of consciousness, degree of intoxication and ongoing normal and abnormal cognitive processes. A suitable electrode and amplifier system is used to obtain high resolution biopotentials from the regions of interest. Surface electroencephalographic (EEG) signals are filtered to allow the acquisition of frequencies between 2 and 500 Hz, then digitized and transmitted over a high speed serial line to a host computer where a 32 second long signal is divided into 128 consecutive 0.25 second intervals. Digital EEG data from unipolar leads is normalized and the dynamic phase and density relations within the signal are then characterized by estimating the third-order autocorrelation function or autobispectrum using either a frequency domain, or parametric approach. Paired EEG data from corresponding left and right hemisphere leads is used to characterize the dynamic phase and density relations between hemispheres by estimating the third order crosscorrelation function or crossbispectrum using either frequency domain or parametric techniques. Under certain specific filtering circumstances the power spectrum and crosspower spectrum are also computed. A reference clinical database is used to identify frequency pairs most sensitive to particular interventions or diagnostic states of interest. The values at these frequency pairs are then extracted from the patient's autobicoherence, autobispectral density, autobiphase, crossbicoherence, crossbispectral density, and crossbiphase arrays. The ensemble of values for the particular diagnostic determination is used to compute an index which serves as the diagnostic criterion by which the patient's state is judged. Any diagnostic index can be continuously displayed on a graphics terminal for real-time diagnostic monitoring or can be sent to a hard copy device to generate reports for the medical record.

Title: Cooler apparatus
Inventor: WINSTEAD THOMAS W
IPC: B29C48/38
Filed: 1980-01-04
Granted: 1983-09-01
Abstract: A dynamic cooler apparatus is provided for dynamically cooling molten plastic extrudate while pumping metered amounts of that extrudate to an extrusion die or the like. The dynamic cooler apparatus utilizes bi-helical gears in a gear pump configuration in a housing in which a heat exchange medium is circulated. The heat exchange medium is also circulated internally of the gears so that the gear teeth and the housing act to cool discrete volumes of extrudate from four sides defined by the gear teeth and the internal surface of the housing. The bi-helical gears are driven to minimize loading between the teeth thereof and to permit the teeth to be as small as practical to present more cooling surface for a given cross-section of extrudate and optimize the heat transfer capability of the dynamic cooler apparatus. Provision is also made to use the molten extrudate as a lubricant for the shafts and bearings of the bi-helical gears.

Title: Guided earth boring tool
Inventor: MCDONALD WILLIAM J
IPC: E21B4/14
Filed: 1987-05-15
Granted: 1991-01-03
Abstract: Long utility holes, for gas lines, electrical conduit, communications conduit and the like, may be bored or pierced horizontally through the earth, particularly under obstacles, such as buildings, streets, highways, rivers, lakes, etc. Such holes may be bored by an underground drilling mole (17) (underground percussion drill) supported on a hollow drill rod (15) and supplied with compressed air through the rod to operate an air hammer which strikes an anvil having an external boring face, preferably constructed to apply an asymmetric boring force. The drill rod is operated by a drill rig on the surface or recessed in special pit for horizontal drilling and provides for addition of sections of pipe or hollow rod as the boring progresses. The asymmetric boring force causes the boring path to curve and, when straight line drilling is needed, the drill rod is rotated to counteract the asymmetric boring force. An alternative boring tool utilizes an expander supported on a solid or hollow drill rod and having a base end supported on and larger in diameter than the rod and tapering longitudinally forward therefrom. It may have a uniform extension protruding a short distance forward. The tool penetrates the earth upon longitudinal movement of the drill rod.
