Title: Device for assisting therapeutic lower leg, calf muscle, ankle, foot and toe exercise for reducing the risk of deep vein hrombosis (DVT)
Inventor: FLYNN MICHAEL R
IPC: A63B23/08
Filed: 2002-03-27
Granted: 2003-03-20
Abstract: A lower leg exercise device (1) has an upper panel (2) and a lower panel (3) which are hingedly attached together along opposing longitudinal sides. A pair of elliptical forming panels (8) are hingedly attached to the lower panel (3) and are each foldable between a first position in which they lie substantially flat against the lower panel, whereby the upper panel may be collapsed flat against the lower panel for compact storage, and a second position in which they engage between the first and second panels in an upstanding manner so as to maintain the panels in spaced apart relationship. In said second position, the loading applied by the convexly curved upper and lower edges of the forming panels (8) to the upper and lower panels (2,3) results in said panels each adopting a convexly curved shape. In use, the device is placed an the floor in its erect configuration, the user placing their feet on the upper panel and rocking the device back and forth on the curved lower panel.

Title: Steering gear of game machine
Inventor: ISHIDA MITSUYOSHI
IPC: A63F13/24
Filed: 1988-12-21
Granted: 1991-07-04
Abstract: The gear is equipped with a mechanism by which a steering wheel is rotated in accordance with the steering operation of a player and returns automatically to a neutral position. An end cam which receives the resilient force of a compression coil spring sets normally a steering wheel to a neutral position through a guide roller. When the player rotates the steering clockwise, for example, the guide roller rotates clockwise along with a steering shaft, so that the end cam moves in accordance with the rotating angle of the steering wheel in the axial direction of the shaft. When the wheel is released, the end cam returns the steering to the neutral position through the guide roller upon reception of the resilient force of the coil spring without the need of a reversing operation. The steering gear has a detector for the rotating angle and rotating direction of the shaft to operate a car on a display. @(21pp Dwg.No.2/6)@.

Title: Constructional toy components
Inventor: MADNER PETER
IPC: A63H33/08
Filed: 1993-08-27
Granted: 1997-04-17
Abstract: A constructional toy component (13) which has on at least one edge (11), two portions (15, 16) each of which has associated therewith one of two complementary members (19, 18), the arrangement being such that when two similar edges are brought into abutment but in the opposite sense, the complementary members (19, 18) can interengage if one of the components is initially flexed to effectively vary the spacing between the complementary members thereon. In one form of the invention, the edges are formed of rod like members and thus the component is basically defined by a peripheral frame. After engagement is completed, and the flexure is released, there is effectively no deformation of either component, but the components are held together by the interrelationship of the complementary members.

Granted: 1989-12-14
Abstract: In the heat treatment of steel wires (W) in a patenting operation, the wires from an austenitizing furnace (1) are first quenched in a fluidized bed (Q). This bed (Q) is fluidized by hot gases from the furnace (1) and is also provided with a cooling system (28).

Title: Blood glucose monitoring system
Inventor: LEPPER JAMES M JR
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1996-06-04
Granted: 2000-01-20
Abstract: A blood glucose monitoring system includes a broadband light source and a specially fabricated optical filter for modulating optical radiation to be transmitted through a fleshy medium. Optical radiation which passes through the fleshy medium is detected by an optical detector which generates an electrical signal indicative of the intensity of the detected light. Digital signal processing is performed on the electrical signal to extract those optical characteristics of the electrical signal due to the optical characteristics of the filter and constituents of the fleshy May 1, 1995 medium other than blood glucose concentration. The monitoring system employs a unique "double-log" transformation to minimize errors due to indeterminate path length variations of the optical radiation through the fleshy medium. The monitoring system further employs specialized signal processing to avoid inaccuracies due to the previously unidentified solvent effect which arises when glucose is dissolved into water.
