Patent EP-1484866-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BARKLEY WARREN V
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2004-05-12
Abstract: A wireless device that adaptively makes the determination of whether or not to
pre-authenticate. If the wireless device (220) is running an application that is sensitive to
latency (also referred to herein as a low latency application), then pre-authentication
is performed and latency is reduced during the switch between wireless access points (204,205).
Such low latency applications may include voice over IP, video, interactive
whiteboard, or video teleconferencing. On the other hand, if the wireless device is not
running a low latency application, the wireless device is less susceptible to latency
when making the wireless access point switch. In that case, pre-authentication is not
performed and processing and battery resources are preserved.

Abstract: A variable-intensity, wide-angle illuminator is disclosed, one embodiment
comprising: a light source (12) for providing a light beam; an optical cable (14),
optically coupled to the light source for receiving and transmitting the light beam; a
handpiece (10), operably coupled to the optical cable to receive the light beam; an
optical fiber (22), operably coupled to the handpiece, wherein the optical fiber is
optically coupled to the optical cable to receive and transmit the light beam; an optical
element (20), optically coupled to a distal end of the optical fiber, for receiving the
light beam and scattering the light beam to illuminate a surgical field, wherein the
optical element comprises a hemispherically shaped sapphire; and a cannula (16),
operably coupled to the handpiece, for housing and directing the optical fiber and the
optical element. The optical element can be a small-gauge, diffusive sapphire element
having a polished circular surface (25) co-incident with the distal end of the cannula
and a light refracting hemispherical surface (26) facing the optical fiber. For
example, the optical element can be a 19, 20 or 25 gauge optical element. Further, the
cannula and the handpiece can be fabricated from biocompatible materials.

Abstract: An injection nozzle for an internal combustion engine has valve means (22, 80) moveable
within a bore (24) of a nozzle body (26), the valve means (22, 80) having a first seat (36, 82)
and a second seat (40, 102), both being engageable with a seating surface (28), which has a
seat cone angle (S), to control fuel delivery through a nozzle outlet (30). The first seat (36,
82) controls delivery of fuel from a first supply chamber (38) to a delivery chamber (34) and
the second seat (40, 102) controls delivery of fuel from a second supply chamber (42) to the
delivery chamber (34), the second supply chamber (42) being in communication with the first
supply chamber (38) by way of a flow path (46, 54; 92, 94) defined within the valve member
(22, 80). By virtue of the provision of the first and second valve seats (36, 82; 40, 102), the
flow path (54, 46; 92, 94) and the delivery chamber (34), the injection nozzle exhibits
improved fuel delivery characteristics.

Abstract: An x-ray system is controlled to obtain a view of an area of a patient that is
larger than a field of view of an x-ray detector. Individual images are obtained
(418) of portions of the area of the subject that, when combined (420), can be
used to get a view of the area of the subject. Positions of individual images
are determined (402,404). The positions are preferably calculated (414) to
avoid placing structures that tend to move or that are dose sensitive in an
area of overlap of the individual images. Also, the positions are preferably
calculated (412) to reduce overall exposure to a subject, especially by
reducing unnecessary double exposure.

Abstract: A machining fluid treating device for a wire-cut electric discharge
machine allows an operator to know the life of ion-exchange resin easily.
Machining fluid is circulated to flow through ion-exchange resin, where, of
the machining fluid, the flow rate L, the resistivity value R1 on the ion-exchange
resin inlet side, and the resistivity value R2 on the ion-exchange
resin outlet side are detected (S1). The ion-exchange capacity C of the ion-exchange
resin is evaluated using the expression C = (R2-R1)xL (S3).
Change in C, R1, R2 and L is displayed on a display screen (S2)(S4). A
linear expression, a polynomial expression or the like representing change
in C is determined on the basis of accumulated data on change in C, and
time (life) TE by which the ion-exchange capacity will reach a
predetermined capacity limit LIMIT is predicted and displayed (S7, S8). A
little before the point in time corresponding to the elapsed time TE, a
warning alarm is given (S11) to inform the operator that the ion-exchange
resin should be replaced with new resin.

hydrophilic film, thereby making it possible to decrease a flow
resistance due to the condensed waterdrop.
