Title: Tilt mechanism for infant care apparatus
Inventor: JORDAN PATRICK
IPC: A61G13/04
Filed: 1999-05-13
Granted: 2004-01-20
Abstract: An infant care apparatus that has a infant bed tilt mechanism that can be accessed by the user in close proximity to the infant mattress and at the mattress level. When the infant care apparatus is an infant incubator, the tilt mechanism is operable internal of the infant compartment. The user can thus be carrying out some procedure on the infant within that infant compartment of the incubator or at the level of the infant bed of an infant warmer and be able to alter the tilt angle of the infant bed without breaking the semi sterile conditions surrounding the infant and its close proximity by manipulation of a actuating mechanism that is situated at the level of the infant bed and in close proximity to the infant. The tilt mechanism itself has a lead screw rotatable mounted to the infant bed and which passes through a threaded nut that is resiliently affixed to the base of the incubator or infant warmer. A braking mechanism allows the user to unlock the lead screw quietly so that it is free to rotate smoothly to adjust the tilt angle of the infant bed and then relock the lead screw quietly to prevent its rotation with respect to the infant bed to lock the infant bed into that new tilt angle.

Abstract: A liquid can be marked for identification purposes with at least first and second miscible markers. The markers are mixed in the liquid so that the ratio of the concentration of the first marker to the concentration of the second marker is substantially equal to a predetermined value. Thus, by comparing the ratio of the measured concentration of the first marker to the measured concentration of the second marker with predetermined values the liquid can be uniquely identified. In one embodiment, a multi-channel infrared fuel analyzer (10) is disclosed for identifying fuel samples in an examination vessel or flow tube (12). Radiation source (16) is provided on one side of tube (12) for illuminating the flowing fuel (14). Detectors (20A, 20B, and 20C) assigned to specific channels, are provided on the other side of the tube for detecting absorption associated with the presence of an assigned fuel marker. The infrared light source and detectors can be connected to a processor and control unit (22) for initiation of testing, for processing of detection signal from the detectors, and for display of readout information. Processor and control unit (22) can include a look up table (23) for storing information about marking patterns, a comparison element (35) for comparing measured values with values supplied by look up table (23), and a display (30).

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un appareil et un procédé d'analyse rapide d'éléments d'une bibliothèque combinatoire. L'appareil comprend une pluralité de réceptacles destinés à contenir des éléments individuels de bibliothèque et un système de traitement de fluide qui répartit un fluide de test de manière approximativement égale entre chacun des réceptacles. Ceci permet de cribler simultanément des éléments de bibliothèque en détectant des modifications dans le fluide de test après que celui-ci ait été mis en contact avec des éléments individuels de bibliothèque. L'écoulement du fluide dans chaque réceptacle est régulé au moyen de limiteurs de débit passifs ou de régulateurs de débit actifs afin de permettre que chaque élément de bibliothèque vienne en contact approximativement avec la même quantité de fluide de test par unité de temps. L'appareil de cette invention est notamment utile pour cribler des éléments de bibliothèque en fonction de leur capacité à catalyser la conversion des réactifs du fluide.

Abstract: A reinforced networked polymer/clay alloy composite is produced by contacting a monomer/clay mixture with a reinforcing agent. The monomer/clay mixture comprises a monomer, a cross-linking agent and clay particles. An initiator means is used to initiate polymerization of the monomer/clay mixture, while the cross-linking agent concurrently acts to network oligomeric and polymeric species formed during polymerization to produce a networked polymer/clay alloy in the presence of the reinforcing agent. The networked polymer/clay alloy is intimately integrated with the reinforcing agent such that, on exposure to water, the networked polymer/clay alloy swells with substantially no clay separating from the composite.

Abstract: A catalytic hydrocracking process wherein a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is converted by combining with a hot recycle stream containing hydrogen, and the mixture is passed to a denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone, and then to a hydrocracking zone. The resulting hot, uncooled effluent from the hydrocracking zone is hydrogen stripped in a stripping zone maintained at essentially the same pressure as the hydrocracking zone to produce a vapor stream containing hydrogen, hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the fresh feedstock, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream wherein at least a portion of this liquid stream is then passed to the denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone. At least another portion of the liquid stream is admixed with the subsequently cooled vapor stream to produce a hydrogen-rich recycle gas stream and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream containing hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the fresh feedstock.

Abstract: A client system stores messages (710) and sends the messages to a server system. The messages are included in a request formatted (720) according to a protocol that can traverse a firewall. The server system also stores messages and sends the messages to the client system.      The server system waits for a first request and a second request from the client system (740). If the first request has been received and a particular number of messages have accumulated at the server system, then the server system will send a response corresponding to the first request. If the second request is received (740), the server system will send the response (760) corresponding to the first request even if no messages have accumulated. The next time the client system sends a request, the request will include an indication of which messages the client system received from the server system in the last response.
