Abstract: A water cooler has three vertically elongate arcuate walls 2, 3 and 4 and a removable top cover 6 which is adapted to receive and support an inverted bottle with its neck passing through an aperture 15 in the top cover. An internal platform is mounted below the top cover to receive a removable coupling member which incorporates a feed tube for insertion into the neck of the container. The platform also contains an opening in registration with a thermal receptacle mounted below said platform for receiving a reservoir connected to the feed tube to receive water from the container, and may also receive other replaceable components such as an air filter. An apertured ventilation duct 5 extends vertically at the junction between the side walls 3 and 4 and is rigidly connected to two structural members by the platform, a base plinth 1 and an internal bulkhead. The front wall 2 is fixed to the two structural members by screws while the side walls have hook formations which engage slots in the structural members and the duct. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and a device for reducing cycle slips resulting from frequency hops in a wireless communication device. In the method, a first signal pulse is received, which first signal pulse is either said reference signal pulse or said signal pulse to be compared, a second signal pulse is received, which second signal pulse is from another source than said first signal pulse, a control voltage is generated for controlling a voltage controlled oscillator in response to a phase difference between said first received and said second received signal pulses. At a time instant between the reception of said first and said second signal pulses, a constant voltage is added to said control voltage on receiving additionally one signal pulse, which is the same type as said first signal pulse. After receiving said second signal pulse, said constant voltage is removed from said control voltage on receiving at least one signal pulse, which is the same type as said second signal pulse. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Whenever a dishwasher is operated a given number of times or whenever a given number of days transpire, an apparatus performs a process that removes minerals deposits that have built-up inside the dishwasher. The process commences by rinsing the dishwasher interior with water and draining the rinse water. A mixture of water and a chemical that dissolves the minerals is introduced into the dishwasher and a pump circulates the mixture inside the dishwasher for a period of time. Next the mixture is drained out and the dishwasher interior is rinsed again with fresh water.

Abstract: A system for sensing respiratory pressure includes a portable pressure transducer configured to be carried by or proximate to a respiratory conduit, such as a breathing circuit or a nasal canula. The portable pressure transducer may removably couple with a pneumotach, in the form of an airway adapter, disposed along the respiratory conduit. The pneumotach may include two pressure ports positioned at opposite sides of an obstruction, which partially blocks flow through a primary conduit of the pneumotach. Corresponding sample conduits of the portable pressure transducer removably couple with the pressure ports. The pressure ports may have sealing elements which are configured to seal against piercing members of the sample conduits upon introduction of the piercing members therethrough. Upon removal of the piercing members, the sealing elements substantially reseal. Methods for using the system are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides an implantable substrate sensor comprising electronic circuitry formed within, or on, a substrate. A protective coating then covers the substrate, forming a hermetically sealed package having the circuitry under the coating. The circuitry has electrically conductive pads for communicating and/or providing power to the circuitry. Electrical pathways provide hermetic electrical connection to the conductive pads for external connection to the sealed circuitry. In a first embodiment, the pathway is a via that is made from a biocompatible material that is made hermetic by either increasing its thickness or by ion beam deposition. Alternatively, the pathways are formed from metal traces, surrounded by a biocompatible insulation material, essentially parallel to the surface of the substrate that are connected to the conductive pads by first vias and have second ends externally accessible to the sealed package to provide external electrical connection to the hermetically sealed circuitry within.

Abstract: Two color transformations, as described herein, facilitate identification of the objects of interest in the biological specimen One of the color transformations, a Minus Clear Plus One (MC+1) transformation, can be conceptualized as either translating and rotating axes of a three-dimensional coordinate space that defines an image of the biological specimen or calculating differences between vectors in the three dimensional coordinate space that defines the image of the biological specimen. The other of the color transformations, a Quantitative Chromatic Transformation (QCT), is a colorimetric transformation that produces three new quantities from the original red, green, and blue pixel values for each color pixel of an image. These three new quantities, X, Y, and Z can each be related to the quantitative amount of absorbing molecules sampled by that pixel. Application of one or both of the color transformations to the image of the biological specimen results in a transformed image, in which objects of interest are more readily identifiable.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un robot mobile du type à jambes, qui est incapable d'accomplir un déplacement de jambes lorsqu'il reçoit une force externe ou un moment externe de niveau excessif: il abandonne la marche normale et se prépare à basculer pour tomber. On réduit au minimum les risques de dégâts en modifiant la surface S d'un polygone de sustentation du corps par instant t, ce qui permet de réduire au minimum ΔS/Δt et d'augmenter au maximum la surface du polygone de sustentation au moment de la chute, et donc de répartir l'impact de la chute sur tout le corps. Enfin, la récupération de la station debout se fait de manière autonome depuis la position consécutive à la chute (par exemple, position couchée, sur le ventre ou sur le dos).
