Title: Aircraft passenger chair
Inventor: MUELLER JOCHEN
IPC: A47C1/024
Filed: 2001-03-09
Granted: 2008-01-08
Abstract: An aircraft passenger chair has a support frame, a seat and a backrest. A position adjustment mechanism is coupled between the frame and the backrest by a unidirectional force transmission to permit tilting the backrest clockwise forward into a parking position while simultaneously shifting the seat backward independently of the position adjustment mechanism to increase the space between two rows of seats. Operating the position adjustment mechanism tilts the backrest counterclockwise from an upright position into a rest position and returns the backrest into its upright position. Bringing the backrest into the parking position and shifting the seat simultaneously backward is independent of tilting the backrest into a rest position. Similarly returning the backrest and the seat into the respective normal position is also independent of returning the backrest from the rest position into the normal position.

IPC: A61B5/0476
Filed: 2001-04-10
Granted: 2011-12-06
Abstract: A system which classifies patients according the their level of awareness or consciousness using measures derived solely from electroencephalograph (EEG) signals. The system comprises multiple observers of characteristics of signals, including artifact detectors, especially magnitude artifact detectors, eye blink detectors, stationarity/RMS  detectors, slew rate detectors, and burst suppression detectors, and determination of power in certain frequency bands. The system produces a signal derived probabilistic measure of conscious awareness called the patient state index (PSI) and displays values of trends in that index and values of an artifact index, and EMG index, and a suppression ratio in order to give the operator current information on the quality of the signal input. The PSI is derived from a statistical analysis using empirically derived population norms and other parameters.

Granted: 2008-04-08
Abstract: Given access to two or more originating switching node addressing mechanisms (such as, for example, a mobile switching center identification (MSCID), a mobile switching center identification number (MSCIN) and/or a point code subsystem number (PC-SSN)), a serving switching node, when needing to address a message to that originating switching node, implements a hierarchical process for selecting one of the two or more available mechanisms for use in addressing the message. The process gives preference to use of the MSCIN, if present and if the message is being sent in an international routing context, in addressing the message. Alternatively, the process gives preference to use of the PC-SSN, if present and if the message is being sent in a national routing context, in addressing the message.  Lastly, the process utilizes the MSCID in addressing the message.

Title: Brush head positioning system
Inventor: CURTIS MARVIN
IPC: A47L11/16
Filed: 2001-07-19
Granted: 2006-05-23
Abstract: An apparatus for use on a surface and responsive to an operator. A head assembly is adapted to carry a device for engaging the surface. An actuator raises and lowers the head assembly relative to the surface. A position control responsive to operator input indicates a head position of the device relative to the surface or range of head positions of the device relative to the surface. The head position or the range of head positions indicates a distance or range of distances, respectively, between the device and the surface. A controller responsive to the position control selectively actuates the actuator to maintain the device in the head position or within the range of head positions as indicated by the position control. As a result, a repeatable position or range of positions of the brush head is obtained, the relative engagement between the head assembly and surface is controlled and the treatment of the surface by the head assembly is controlled. Position control may be used in combination with torque control of motors driving brushes for engaging the surface. Position control may also be used in combination with a pressure control measuring the pressure between the brush head and the surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a boat-activated wake enhancement method and system that extends from the boat. According to one aspect, a pair of protuberances is provided on the lower stern quarter of the boat's hull, primarily along the sidewalls. The protuberances are elongated and each has a rounded surface that extends substantially laterally outward in relation to the boat hull. The protuberances help to displace more water by increasing and shifting the effective width of the boat, causing the boat to travel deeper in the water, and creating additional interference that affects the natural wakes created by the boat. Additional inverted hydrofoil members and ballasts can also be provided to cause the boat to travel deeper in the water and therefore create larger waves. The present invention is used to increase the size and enhance the shape and location of the wake and/or waves for wakeboarding and wake surfing.

Title: A switch fabric architecture and techniques for implementing rapid hitless switchover
Inventor: KLAUSMEIER DANIEL E
IPC: H04L49/111
Filed: 2000-10-20
Granted: 2009-07-07
Abstract: A switch is provided that receives user information through a plurality of framer circuits, which group the user information into frames. The frames are fed to a switch fabric including an array of switch elements, each having a switch matrix for routing each frame to a desired output in accordance with configuration data stored in a first table coupled to the switch matrix. If different outputs are desired, i.e., the switch matrix is to be reconfigured, a switch control circuit supplies additional switch configuration data to the frames through the inputs along with additional user information to be routed through the switch. While the additional switch configuration data is stored in a second table, data flow remains uninterrupted through the switch matrix. Once storage of the additional configuration data into the second table is complete, however, the switch control circuit inserts a table select signal into the frames, to thereby couple the second table to the switch so that the switch matrix is configured in accordance with the additional switch configuration data. Subsequent frames are then routed through the reconfigured switch matrix. The first and second tables can thus be alternately updated and coupled to the switch matrix to appropriately reconfigure the switch without affecting existing connections established through the switch. "Hitless switchover" is therefore achieved.
