Title: Encoder for multiplexing blocks error protected bits with blocks of unprotected bits
Inventor: SERIZAWA MASAHIRO
IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 2000-02-09
Abstract: An error detection encoder comprises separation circuitry for separating an input signal into a first sequence of error protected bits and a second sequence of error unprotected bits. Calculation circuitry produces an error check sequence from the first sequence and concatenates the error check sequence to the first sequence to produce a thud sequence. The second sequence may be further separated into a first sub-sequence of higher significant bits and a second sub-sequence of lower significant bits. A multiplexer is provided for segmenting the third sequence into a plurality of first blocks and segmenting the first sub-sequence into a plurality of second blocks corresponding to the first blocks and multiplexing each of the first blocks with a corresponding one of the second blocks to produce a fourth sequence in which the first and the second blocks are arranged in an alternating order. The second sub-sequence is concatenated to the fourth sequence to produce an output sequence for transmission.

Title: Apparatus for withdrawing blood for diagnostic purposes
Inventor: FORSTER RICHARD
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2000-02-29
Abstract: Device for withdrawing Blood for Diagnostic Purposes. A lancet holder (8) for holding a lancet (7) and a lancet drive (12) having a loadable elastic drive spring (15) are provided within an elongated housing (2).     The relaxing motion of the drive spring (15) is converted into a puncturing motion, after release of a locking device, to move the lancet (7), held by the lancet holder (8), at high speed in the puncturing direction until its tip exists out of an exit opening (5) of the housing (2).    An improved handling and simultaneous minimization of pain is achieved by providing a two-sided rotary/translatory transmission (25) in the housing (2), wherein a) the input side (24) of the rotary/translatory transmission (25) transforms the motion of a loading button (17), protruding out of the rear end (16) of the housing (2), along a linear loading path (23) into a rotational motion of a lancet drive rotor (13) which rotates about a rotational axis extending parallel to the axis of the device (A) to load the lancet drive rotor (13) by tensioning the drive spring (15);.     b) when the lancet drive is triggered, the output side (26) of the rotary/translatory transmission (25) converts a rotational motion of the lancet drive rotor, driven by the drive spring, into the puncturing motion in the direction along the main axis.

Patent CA-2300655-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STRANG GEOFFREY W
IPC: A01M3/02
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: In regards to the common insect or fly swatter as it is ordinarily referred to, it is known that the normal wire and molded plastic handles and shafts are difficult to grasp firmly in the hand and clumsy to operate. The user of the insect swatter looses both accuracy and effectiveness to these shortcomings. In this invention both the shaft and handle are replaced with much more robust pieces which are equivalent in function but much more effective in their utility. This insect swatter uses a handle similar in construction to badminton or tennis rackets plus a rigid shaft made of a composite type material such as, but not limited to, fiberglass or graphite. The head or "blade" of the swatter remains similar in construction to conventional wire handle/shaft insect swatters. The net effect of these modifications is an insect swatter with excellent control and coordination.

Trois éléments indissociables composent cette housse. Le corps de tissu insé ré sur la canne. Le système d'ajustement de la longueur, composé essentiellement d'un lien d'ajustement et d'un réducteur. L'attache à patte velcro, placée devant ou derrière le moulinet.
