Patent EP-0969431-A1 (EP)
IPC: G08B25/01
Filed: 1994-07-12
Abstract: The invention relates to
   a patient/nurse call system for a hospital comprising:   a plurality of transmitters, each transmitter adapted to
periodically transmit a pulse-coded infrared signal;   a plurality of patient stations, each patient station
being located in a patient room in the hospital and including a
receiver to receive and validate a pulse-coded infrared signal
from any of the transmitters and generate a corresponding
transmitters identification signal;   a signal processor operatively connected to the patient
stations to receive each of the transmitter identification
signals and to generate a signal pair comprising the
transmitter identification signal and a respective location
identification signal, the location identification signal being
representative of the location of the patient station which
received the transmitter identification signal;   a master station operatively connected to the signal
processor and adapted to receive and store the signal pairs in
a memory so that at any time the signal pairs can be retrieved
from memory to determine the locations of the transmitter; and   a recorder operatively connected to the master station for
generating reports on the locations of the transmitters over an
extended period of time, whereby the master station continues
to store each transmitter at a location which corresponds to
the last received and validated pulse-coded signals from that
transmitter, until a subsequent pulse-coded signal from that
transmitter is received and validated at a different patient
station.

Abstract: Novel antimicrobial products and methods of making and using the same are
disclosed, whereby the products can be used in the same or greater percentages as
conventional microbial growth inhibitors without imparting an off-flavor, taste, color
or odor to the products in which they are used. The antimicrobial products are formed
by exposing a compound selected from the group consisting of benzoic acid, sodium
benzoate, calcium benzoate, potassium benzoate, acetic acid, sodium diacetate,
paraben, niacin, calcium acetate, calcium diacetate, citric acid, lactic acid, fumaric
acid, sorbic acid, sodium sorbate, calcium sorbate, potassium sorbate, propionic acid,
sodium propionate, calcium propionate, potassium propionate and mixtures thereof, to
an ammonia gas. In one embodiment, the product is prepared by placing a layer of
azodicarbonamide on a substrate and covering the layer with a gas permeable
separator. The antimicrobial compound is then added on top of the separator, and the
combination is heated to cause the azodicarbonamide to decompose and release
ammonia gas to form the final product. In another embodiment, the product is
prepared by exposing the antimicrobial compound to an ammonia gas. The ammonia
gas reacts with free acids in the antimicrobial compound to convert the free acids into
ammonium salts, thereby eliminating off-flavor and off-odor of the resulting
antimicrobial product. The antimicrobial products prepared according to the present
invention are suitable for use in foodstuffs, sanitation products, cosmetics,
pharmaceuticals, and so forth.

Inventor: WILSON BLAKE
IPC: A61F2/18
Filed: 1999-02-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method for inner ear implants is provided that generates signal processing stochastic independence activity across the excited neural population. A high rate pulse train can produce random spike patterns in auditory nerve fibers (hereafter 'pseudospontaneous activity') that are statistically similar to those produced by spontaneous activity in the normal auditory nerve. We call this activity 'pseudospontaneous'. Varying rates of pseudospontaneous activity can be created by varying the intensity of a fixed amplitude, high rate pulse train stimulus, e.g., 5000 pps. The high rate pulse train can desynchronize the nerve fiber population and can be combined with a data signal in an inner ear implant. The pseudospontaneous activity can enhance neural representation of temporal detail and dynamic range with an inner ear implant such as a cochlear implant. The pseudospontaneous activity can further eliminate a major difference between acoustic- and electrical-derived hearing percepts.
