Title: Capacitive displacement encoder
Inventor: NETZER YISHAY
IPC: G01D5/241
Filed: 2000-03-30
Granted: 2004-12-01
Abstract: A capacitive motion encoder (140), for sensing the position of a moving object relative to a stationary object, includes at least one stationary element (141), coupled to the stationary object and a moving element (148), coupled to the moving object and in proximity to the stationary element. A field transmitter (142) generates an electrostatic field, which is modulated by a change in capacitance between the stationary and moving elements responsive to relative motion of the elements. A conductive shield (154) is electrically decoupled from both the moving and the stationary objects, and encloses the moving and stationary elements so as to shield the elements from external electrical interference. Processing circuitry (138) is coupled to sense the modulated electrostatic field and to determine responsive thereto a measure of the position of the moving object. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and system for verifying the integrity of normal sinus rhythm (NSR) templates and updating the NSR template after selected time intervals. At selected time intervals after establishing a NSR template, cardiac complexes are sensed and values for one or more cardiac parameters are measured. The values of the cardiac parameters are compared to predetermined value ranges for NSR cardiac complexes. When the values of the cardiac parameters fall within the predetermined value ranges, values for the differences between the values of the cardiac parameters for the cardiac complexes and the values for the cardiac parameters of the NSR cardiac complexes are calculated. When the values of the differences are greater than one or more threshold values, the NSR template is updated as a function of the sensed cardiac complexes.

Abstract: A method is provided for simulating at least one characteristic of a physical system. The physical sytem is discretized into a plurality of volumetric cells (201-215) having boundaries therebetween. An initial estimate of state variables is assigned for each cell. For each cell, linear equations are constructed relating its state variables to the state variables of cells adjacent to it. A transportability value is associated with each boundary and the boundaries are ranked corresponding to descending transportability values. The boundary rankings are used to construct topologically one-dimensional strings of cells (50, 51). A matrix equation for each string is constructed by assembling the linear equations associated with the cells for each string. Improved estimates of the state variables of the cells are determined by solving the matrix equations. These state variables are then used to simulate at least one characteristic of the physical system.

Abstract: Methods for assessing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and other related disorders include obtaining an NMR derived reference spectrum for a known glucose concentration sample and storing this information as a reference standard. A patient blood sample is collected and NMR derived patient spectrums for the blood sample are obtained. The two NMR data sets (the reference and the patient) are compared and a glucose concentration is determined for the patient sample. The glucose concentration can be evaluated with a blood sample undergoing lipoprotein cholesterol evaluation. The NMR based test can be used to concurrently provide a glucose concentration and lipoprotein constituent values based on a single testing event. The disclosure also includes a multi-purpose test, i.e., a test which concurrently provides lipoprotein screening and coronary heart disease risk evaluation along with a diabetes screening and risk assessment for developing Type 2 diabetes. A method for assessing diabetes includes identifying the presence of diabetic dyslipidemia based on the values of predetermined NMR measured lipoprotein constituents.

Abstract: A crystal oscillator comprises a crystal 1 and a crystal oscillator circuit 3 for providing an output signal 5. In order to adjust the output frequency, for example during the testing stage of production, a bank of load capacitors C1 to C6 are provided. Each capacitor C1 to C6 may be switched into or out of the circuit by a respective switch 9 to 19. The switches are controlled by control lines D0 to D5, which are set by a 6 bit register 21, known as the trim register. The value in the trim register is set according to the frequency of the output signal. To counteract any swing in the output signal, a bank of current switches T1 to T4 are provided, which enable resistors R1 to R4 to be switched into or out of the circuit. Each resistor R1 to R4 is switched by a respective one of the control lines D2 to D5. Thus, adjusting the load capacitance to obtain a desired frequency causes the oscillator core current to be changed automatically, thereby maintaining a constant swing in the output signal.

Abstract: An array (100) of macromolecules (the primary array), typically proteins is generated by 2D electrophoresis, for example, and subsequently transferred to a support membrane (102) by electroblotting or the like. An image of the primary array is captured (202) and the coordinates of the various macromolecular spots in the primary array are determined (402). The next step of the process is to print a secondary (or micro) array of one or more reagents or chemicals onto one or more spots/coordinates of the primary array with a pico-litre (pl) dispenser (702). If the macromolecules are proteins, the reagents may be enzymes such as Trypsin or GluC. Use of two different enzymes deposited onto different coordinates on the same spot will cleave the protein at different amino acid sites and, when the spot is analysed in a MALDI-TOP mass spectrometer, will provide increased coverage or matching of peptides in the protein.
