Title: Shelving support system
Inventor: CROOYMANS RENE WILHELM
IPC: A47B96/06
Filed: 1993-07-21
Granted: 2004-05-04
Abstract: A shelving support system is disclosed comprising a series of spaced vertical columnar supports (300) of steel channel having a series of cutouts (320) formed at regularly-spaced intervals in the flanges (308) thereof. Each cutout (320) defines an upper tip (323), a lower lip (235) and a rear horizontal shoulder (342).     Linear extrusions (324a and 324b) of suitable aluminium or plastics material which define shelf-slots (326) are fitted into cutouts (320) so as to be horizontally located between the backs of upper and lower lips (323 and 325) and the rear periphery (344), and, so as to be located vertically by the underside of a shoulder (342) formed on flange (308) at the rear of the cutout and a land (362) and/or the top of the lower lip (325) at or near the lower front of the cutout. Each extrusion (324) includes a curved, forwardly-facing, hook-like thumb-strip formed along its upper wall which hooks behind upper lip (323) when the extrusion is in place within the cutout (320). The extrusion (324) being fitted in place by tilting it down and to the rear until thumb-strip (326) passes under lip (323) and then swinging the front of extrusion (324) down to bring its back wall (334) into contact with rear face (344) of cutout (320). An upwardly facing panel-slot (346) and a downwardly facing panel-slot (348) are respectively formed on the upper front face and the lower front face of extrusion (320), the depth of upper slot (346) being greater than that of lower slot (348). An appropriately cut finishing-panel (364) can be inserted in place between adjacent extrusions (324a and 324b) by first entering its upper edge into lower slot (348) of upper extrusion (324a) until the top of slot (346) is reached, aligning its lower edge with the upper slot (346) of lower extrusion (324b) and then allowing the panel to drop into that slot.

Abstract: A device is described for packaging products, in particular sliced bread, in bags. This device comprises feed and discharge means for the breads to be packaged and a scoop assembly which is principally perpendicular to the direction of conveyance of the products by the device and which can be displaced reciprocally. During operation, the device can bring a bag over the product to be packaged by means of displacement of the scoop assembly, while the product to be packaged is blocked. The scoop assembly comprises an upper and a lower scoop, which scoops can be moved relative to each other. The lower scoop comprises, in order to prevent the crust and/or individual slices of the bread falling over, air flow nozzles which provide a current of air directed obliquely upwards towards the bread.      A scoop assembly is also described which is suitable for use in a packaging device for packaging products in bags.

A plurality of overflow sensors are respectively disposed in the plurality of coin tubes, each adapted to detect an amount of coins held in a corresponding one of said plurality of coin tubes and generate an overflow output when  the  amount of  coins  held therein reaches  a predetermined number.   Coin distributing means including a plurality  of  coin  distributing  sections  are  respectively disposed in correspondence with the plurality of coin tubes.          Each is adapted to selectively execute a first distributing operation for introducing a coin passing therethrough to a corresponding coin tube and a second distributing operation for introducing the same to an ensuing coin tube.  A cash box is disposed in correspondence with a final stage of the plurality of coin tubes.  Prohibition setting means which, if an overflow output is generated among the plurality of overflow sensors, is adapted to set in a prohibited state the first distributing operation of the coin distributing sections corresponding to all  the  coin tubes  in  stages  following  the  coin  tube corresponding to the overflow sensor from which the overflow output is being generated.   Control means are provided for cancelling the prohibited state of the first distributing operation of the coin distributing sections as the coin to be distributed passes through the coin distributing sections.

Granted: 2004-11-16
Abstract: An impedance feedback electrosurgical system (100) is useful with electrosurgical tools (104) to maintain a substantially constant level of current wihtin the tissue in contact with the tool. The system comprises active and return elechndes (108, 112) associated with an electrosurgical tool (104), an impedance monitoring device (116) and a power control unit (118). Energy sufficient to affect tissue is delivered through the active electrode (108) to tissue and to the return electrode (112). The impedance measuring device (116) is in circuit with the return electrodes (112) and measures the impedance of tissue. A  signal representative of tissue impedance is communicated from the impedance measuring device (116) to the power control unit (118). The power control unit (118) adjusts the energy applied to tissue to maintain tissue impedance within a pre-selected and desired range.

Title: Line object scene generation apparatus
Inventor: DEANGELIS DOUGLAS J
IPC: H04N5/217
Filed: 1995-06-28
Granted: 2000-02-01
Abstract: The invention provides a system for recording and displaying a time sequential scene on a computer (16). The digital camera (12) transmits a sequence of digital image frames to the timer (14) representative of the image of a body passing a plane in space. Each frame represents a line object (18) of the body, thus forming a fractional part of the scene. Once the frame reaches the image timer (14), it is digitally marked with a time reference (34) and buffered into a block of information. The main control computer (16) stores blocks of information from the image timer (14) for a variety of processing and features available to the user. The invention also provides a selected memory (36), preferably a virtual memory subsystem, or hard-disc drive. Preferred constructions for adjusting camera pixel processing of light values, time-marking the images, creating color palettes for interactive viewing of color images, and video data coding to accommodate the high volume of line image data are described.

Title: Rapid assays for the assessment of organ status based on the detection of one or more isoenzymes of glutathione s-transferase
Inventor: KILTY CORMAC GERARD
IPC: G01N33/558
Filed: 1996-04-02
Granted: 2007-02-13
Abstract: A method for the rapid assessment of organ status, including organ damage following immunological or toxicological insult, in a subject based on the detection of one or more isoenzymes of glutathione S-transferase (GST) in diverse biological fluids comprises contacting a particle-labelled anti-GST antibody specific for said isoenzyme with a sample of a biological fluid suspected of containing said isoenzyme, said antibody having a sensitivity sufficient to detect at least at picomolar amount of said isoenzyme, and capturing the particle-labelled antibody-isoenzyme complex on an immobilised capture antibody to generate a visually detectable signal. The method permits the detection or determination of GST isoenzymes typically in a time of the order of 30 minutes from initial contact with immobilised anti-GST antiboby. The method is simple to use and thus can be used, for example, by patients at home to monitor their levels of a particular GST isoenzyme following a liver or renal transplant.

Granted: 2005-12-06
Abstract: A method and apparatus for combining emulation and simulation of a logic design. The method and apparatus can be used with a logic design that includes gate-level descriptions, behavioral representations, structural representations, or a combination thereof. The emulation and simulation portions are combined in a manner that minimizes the time for transferring data between the two portions. Simulation is performed by one or more microprocessors while emulation is performed in reconfigurable hardware such as field programmable gate arrays. When multiple microprocessors are employed, independent portions of the logic design are selected to be executed on the multiple synchronized microprocessors. Reconfigurable hardware also performs event detecting and scheduling operations to aid the simulation, and to reduce processing time.
