Title: System and method for identifying and authenticating accessories, auxiliary agents and/or operating substances for technical apparatus
Inventor: RUDLOFF PETER
IPC: G01N35/02
Filed: 1999-02-19
Abstract: In the case of a system for identifying and authenticating accessories, auxiliary substances and/or operating substances for items of equipment, the accessories or the auxiliary or operating substances or their storage containers are provided with a data carrier portion on which information that can be detected by the human eye and is distinctive to a human viewer is stored. The item of equipment is in this case provided with a reading and evaluating device for this information. The reading and evaluating device has a comparison device for comparing the read information with a stored item of information as well as an enabling controller for at least one functional component of the item of equipment.

Title: Body fluid flow control device
Inventor: SAYET PETER
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 1999-03-23
Abstract: An apparatus for controlling fluid flow within a host body has a first shell and a second shell for coupling with the second shell to form a cylindrical object suitable for engaging and surrounding a selected canal with the host body. The cylindrical object is open at both ends and has an interior diameter of a dimension making it suitable for fitting over the selected host body's canal, such as the urethra. The apparatus also includes a plunger for constricting the fluid flow when activated. The plunger may be activated by an electrical solenoid or hydraulic or pneumatic activation to move from a free-flow position into a constricting position wherein the fluid flow though the canal is substantially prevented or reduced. The apparatus can be used for controlling incontinence or restricting fluid flow in other body canals. The host-user can activate the apparatus with a remote control device outside the body which communicates with the implanted apparatus by means of any wireless communication that transmits a signal to the device causing the solenoid to move the plunger into the constricting position. A second signal causes the plunger to retract into a free-flow position when the user no longer feels the urge to urinate.

Title: Noise testing system with temperature responsive sensitivity
Inventor: JURANITCH JAMES C
IPC: G01J5/00
Filed: 1999-06-29
Abstract: An arrangement for isolating an energy transfer system while it is subjected to a test process for noise. The energy transfer system is of the type having an energy input and at least one energy output, and may be mechanical or electrical. The isolation arrangement has a base that supports the energy transfer system. An isolation support supporting the energy transfer system, yet affords multiple degrees of freedom with respect to the base. The energy transfer system is clamped in a manner that permits at least one degree of freedom with respect to the base, via an engagement arrangement that secures the energy transfer system to the isolation support. When mechanical or electrical energy is applied to the evergy transfer system, acoustic energy in the form of sound and/or vibration is issued by the energy transfer system under test, which acoustic energy is monitored by an acoustic sensor that issues a corresponding electrical signal. The monitored acoustic energy is responsive to a qualitative condition in the energy transfer system under test, and also to a temperature thereof. A thermal sensor monitors a temperature change in the energy transfer system under test, and the resulting temperature-responsive electrical signal is employed to control the sensitivity of the acoustic sensor. Such temperature-responsive control is effected non-linearly in certain embodiments of the invention.
