Patent JP-H11504291-A (JP)
IPC: B62J11/00
Filed: 1996-04-23
Abstract: A fluid-holding container and a member for mounting the container to an object. The fluid-holding container is formed to have a concave bottom portion and sidewalls connected to the bottom portion. At the center of the bottom portion, a channel extends into the interior of the fluid-holding container. The channel is adapted to engage with a securing post of a mounting member. The mounting member includes a base portion that is attached to the object. The distance between the sidewalls and the center axis of the fluid-holding container is substantially equal to the distance between the center of the securing post and the base portion, thus assuring a secure attachment of the container to the mounting member. The present invention is suitable for use in mounting a water bottle to a bicycle.

IPC: A61M37/00
Filed: 1996-04-30
Abstract: An implantable catheter comprises a flexible elongated catheter body having an inflatable balloon positioned near its distal end. At least one distal delivery port is located distal of the balloon and at least one proximal delivery port is located proximal of the balloon. The balloon and the distal and proximal delivery ports are connected in fluid communication with individual lumens. The lumen connected to the balloon is connected to a balloon inflation port at the proximal end of the catheter. The lumens connected to the distal and proximal delivery ports are connected to distal and proximal injection ports. Preferably, the balloon inflation port and the distal and proximal injection ports are all built into an integrated port assembly adapted for implantation under the skin of a medical patient. In use, the distal end of the catheter is inserted and fed into a passageway such as a blood vessel until the balloon and delivery ports lie within a region of interest. The port assembly is then implanted under the patient's skin. Once in place, the balloon can be inflated to occlude the flow of fluid through the passageway, and therapeutic agents can be delivered either distal or proximal of the balloon by injection into the appropriate injection port. It is believed that the catheter is particularly suited to the delivery of hepatocytes and an anticoagulant during a course of cell therapy directed to a patient's liver.

IPC: H04L1/00
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: A novel and improved method for implementing a high-transmission-rate over-the-air interface is described. A transmit system provides an in-phase channel set (90) and a quadrature-phase channel set (92). The in-phase channel set (90) is used to provide a complete set of orthogonal medium rate control and traffic channels. The quadrature-phase channel (92) set is used to provide a high-rate supplemental channel and an extended set of medium rate channels that are orthogonal to each other and the original medium rate channels. The high-rate supplemental channel is generated over a set of medium rate channels using a short channel code. The medium rate channel are generated using a set of long channel codes.

IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1998-03-18
Abstract: Power control of output RF signals in a mobile radio communication network is described. A base transceiver has a booster module (12) attached for increasing the power of the output RF signals. A power levelling loop controls the transmission power of the unboosted transceiver. When a booster module (12) is attached, the loop is extendible to control the power of the boosted RF signal output from the booster module. A node (52, 53) connects the amplifier circuit (4) of the transceiver and booster module (12). The node allows an RF signal to be supplied from the amplifier circuit (4) to the booster module (12) for transmission. The node (52, 53) also forms part of the extended power control loop and allows the detected level of the boosted signal to be returned to the transceiver.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP83/00276 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 23, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 23, 1984 PCT Filed Oct. 24, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO84/01811 PCT Pub. Date May 10, 1984.An igniter for combustible material includes a support, an element of a material capable of being ignited by friction, a movable friction-strip having a surface portion treated to produce ignition of the element by friction, and a plate secured to the support for holding and guiding the friction-strip is provided with an opening in front of the element. In operation, the friction-strip is pulled through the igniter, which brings the surface portion into frictional contact with the ignitable element and then uncovers the latter when ignited; the flame therefrom is available through the opening in the plate. Because the ignitable element is enclosed in a space between the support and the friction-strip, it is protected against destruction by mechanical impact or by humidity, as well as against accidental ignition due to friction with another body.

Abstract: A toothbrush (200, 1000) includes a handle (205, 1005), a  head  (201,  1001) and an arrangement of  bristles  (207, 1007)  projecting  outwardly from a bristle-bearing  surface (209,  1009) of the head. Each bristle includes a projecting portion and terminates in a tip end. The bristles include  a middle  group  (217,  1017) and two end  groups  (218,  219; 1018,  1019). The middle group is disposed between  the  two end  groups and separates the two end groups. The  tip  ends of  the  middle  group of bristles lie  substantially  in  a common plane to define a brushing surface (301) overlying  a substantial  portion of the bristle-bearing surface  of  the head.  The  lengths  of  the  projecting  portions  of   the bristles  in  the  end groups decrease  substantially  as  a distance  increases between the middle group and  respective ones  of  the  bristles in the end groups.  In  a  preferred embodiment,  at least some bristles in each  end  group  are sufficiently short and rigid to reduce the tendency  of  the bristles  in  the middle group to flatten upon contact  with the  teeth,  thereby  improving  cleaning  efficacy  of  the toothbrush. A curved or angled neck (203, 1003) may also  be included  to  improve maneuverability of the  toothbrush  in the mouth
