Title: Automated vehicle regulation compliance enforcing system
Inventor: GREEN RANDALL D
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 2002-11-07
Granted: 2010-07-13
Abstract: The present automated vehicle regulation compliance enforcing system is comprised of an on-board monitoring system for being installed on a heavy truck, and an interrogation system for being installed in enforcement vehicles and inspection stations. The monitoring system is comprised of a processor connected to speed and weigh sensors installed in the truck and trailers. The processor is arranged to monitor various operating parameters of the truck, such as loading, load distribution, speed, driver maintenance information, driving time, and mileage. The processor is also connected to an interface which enables the truck operator to input driver and vehicle information, and a transceiver for communicating with the interrogation system. The interrogation system is comprised of a processor connected to a transceiver, and arranged to interrogate the monitoring system to download data. The interrogation system may be mounted in an enforcement vehicle as a standalone system with a built-in interface attached to the processor, or it may be a PC-based system with a communication port for connecting to a personal computer. In either embodiment, the processor in the interrogation system is arranged to automatically alert enforcement personnel when any the operating parameters of a monitored truck is outside a preset limit.

Abstract: Therapeutic devices (30, 40, 50, 60) that provide support or pressure to tissue. Devices (30, 40, 50, 60) contain a material that is capable of being contracted from its relaxed state to an evacuated state. The material applie s pressure to the tissue of a patient when the material is in its relaxed stat e. Reduction of pressure by application of a vacuum results in a contracted sta te of the device, so that the device can be applied or delivered to a patient. Release of vacuum results in a return to the relaxed state, thus providing a maximum desirable pressure to tissue and avoiding the possibility of over- pressure which can result in tissue damage or necrosis.

Title: Induction sensor using printed circuit
Inventor: SALTSOV LEON
IPC: G07D7/04
Filed: 2002-12-18
Granted: 2011-02-22
Abstract: A planar induction sensor for sensing of security features of documents having changing magnetic and (or) conducting properties is of a multilayer printed circuit board design. The sensor comprises a planar current transformer with a spiral-type primary coils and one or several turns of secondary coil in an adjacent layer of the printed circuit board. The secondary coil of the current transformer is connected to an operating coil, which is situated at a sensing edge of the sensor. The operating coil can be formed by external wires or can be incorporated in the circuit board of the current transformer. When a security elements, made from the magnetic or conductive material moves past the sensing edge of the sensor, a change in inductance of the induction sensor occurs. In a preferred embodiment, two induction sensors with individual associated electronic circuits were located on opposite sides of validator channel. Analysis of both signals from the sensors allows correction of the signal to reduce variation caused by changing distance of the security document from each sensor.

Abstract: Fluid diffusion layers with favorable mechanical and electrical properties are prepared for fuel cell electrodes by impregnating a porous carbonaceous web with a carbonizable polymer having pyrrolidone functionality and then carbonizing the pyrrolidone polymer. The polymer having pyrrolidone functionality is stabilized against vaporization by use of an oxidization step prior to carbonization. The fluid diffusion layers are particularly suitable for use as gas diffusion layers in solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells.

Title: Well-bore sensor apparatus and method
Inventor: LIBERMAN ARTHUR
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2003-06-05
Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a well-bore sensor apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a downhole tool carrying at least one sensor plug for deployment into the sidewall of a well-bore. The apparatus may also be used in conjunction with a surface control unit and a communication link for operatively coupling the sensor plug to the surface control unit.

Abstract: Congested rewriting in the same area is to be evaded to suppress the tendency towards occurrence of defective areas. When a stream 1 has been recorded, the last written address, representing the last written position, is stored. When recording a stream 2 next, recording is started directly following the position indicated by the last written address for the stream 1. The last written address, corresponding to the last address of the recording position, is stored. If the stream 2 is erased for recording a stream 3, recording is started not at a position directly following the last written address of the stream 1, but from a position directly following the last written address of the stream 2. When the stream 3 has reached the end of a recording area, the next following data is recorded as from a position directly following the stream 1.

The fold region (24) contains microwave transparent features that minimize de-lamination of the container (30) in the fold region (24) and also create a generally transmissive area in the vicinity of the heel of the food product to improve the cooking thereof. The sidewall region (26) shields the periphery of the food product so that it is not overcooked while promoting an appropriate degree of pie dough shell browning. The flange region (28) is transmissive to promote an appropriate degree of cooking of the food product crust.

Title: Voip system, voip server and client, and multicast packet communication method
Inventor: KOBAYASHI YOSHIKAZU
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 2004-06-07
Granted: 2009-10-13
Abstract: A VoIP system has a VoIP server and plural clients . The client transmits paging data as multicast packets addressed at a specific multicast address, to other clients. In response to a request from the client, the VoIP server transmits multicast packets of MOH data to the other clients . At this time, whether the other clients can receive multicast packets is determined. To the clients that are determined to be capable of receiving multicast packets, transmission data is sent in the form of multicast packets. To the client which belongs to a router and is determined to be incapable of receiving multicast packets, the transmission data is sent as unicast packets. It is thus possible for the VoIP system to support paging and MOH in the form of multicast packets, with respect to clients incapable of receiving multicast.
