Abstract: In a simulated multiple driver racing game application, the user of a computing device is presented with an option for selecting any of various "ghost data" packages for downloading over a communication network. The user may be presented with the option of selecting one of an array of ghost data packages to race against such as the top five buddies of the user with highest scores or with scores similar to a user's own score, and teams/groups of various varieties. A simulated race in a computing device initially occurs with objects and a playing field of relatively low graphic complexity, limited by constraints of the system's processing power and the associated limited number of polygons that can be processed per second, the resolution of the screen, etc. A more powerful rendering of such objects/playing field thereafter takes place in a server after the ghost data is collected and uploaded.

Title: Hospital waste treatment
Inventor: JAKOBI FELIX F
IPC: A61L11/00
Filed: 2006-07-26
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: A waste treatment system (10a,10b) shreds waste material into small pieces and soaks the pieces in a liquid disinfectant. The system includes a feed hopper (14a,14b), a shredder (16), a wetting area (18,202), a dwell area (21,218), and a de-watering apparatus (226,220). Unprocessed waste material is dumped into the feed hopper (14a, 14b). The feed hopper (14a, 14b) feeds the unprocessed waste material into the shredder (16). The shredder (16) includes a rotor (50) and anvil (52) for shredding the unprocessed waste material. The shredded material falls into the wetting area (15,202) where the shredded material is wetted with the liquid disinfectan to create a wetted slurry. The wetted slurry is advanced for an additional three to four minutes of wetted time in the dwell-area (21,218) before entering the de-watering apparatus (26,220). The total wetting time allows the waste material to be completely disinfected.

Abstract: The invention relates to prediction of a rapid symptomatic drop in a subject's blood pressure, e.g. during a medical treatment or when operating an aircraft. To this aim, a pulse shape parameter (Pps) with respect to a peripheral body part (105) of the subject (P) is registered by means of a pulse oximetry instrument (110) adapted to detect light response variations in blood vessels. An initial pulse magnitude measure is calculated based on a pulse shape parameter (Pps) received at a first instance. During a measurement period subsequent to the first instance, a respective pulse magnitude measure is calculated based on each of a number of received pulse shape parameters (Pps). It is further investigated, for each pulse magnitude measure in the measurement period, whether or not the measure fulfils a decision criterion relative to the initial pulse magnitude measure. An alarm triggering signal (.alpha.) is generated if the decision criterion is found to be fulfilled.

Abstract: A screw (60) is described, having a shaft (32) and a head (66) for fastening a component onto a substructure by means of tightly pressing a conical sealing disk (50) onto the component. The screw head (66) is configured at the bottom (64) thereof around the shaft (32) as a cone that is tapered in the direction of the top (68) of the screw head (66). The cone angle of the conical sealing disk (50) measured against a perpendicular line to the disk axis is equal to, or larger than the cone angle (alpha) of the screw head (66) measured against a perpendicular line to the screw axis. When the screw (60) is tightened, the conical bottom (64) of the screw head (66) and the conical top (58) of the sealing disk (50) are in mutual surface contact with each other. This maintains a sealing connection. By means of the conical configuration of the bottom (64) of the screw head (66) the so-called ~cupping~ of the sealing disk (50) is prevented when the screw (60) is tightened.

Title: Apparatus for mri guided hyperthermia surgery
Inventor: TORCHIA MARK G
IPC: A61N5/06
Filed: 2001-06-15
Granted: 2012-01-17
Abstract: An MRI guided surgical apparatus includes a heat source formed by a laser (21) and an optical (20) fiber carrying the heat energy into a part to be coagulated by hyperthermia with an end reflector to direct the energy in a beam to one side of the fiber end. A reinforcing sleeve (38) for the fiber is mounted in a shielded, Piezo-electric motor (22) which causes movement of the fiber longitudinally and angularly within a rigid elongate cannula. A magnetic resonance imaging system is arranged to generate a series of output signals over a period of time representative of temperature in the part as the temperature of the part changes during that time. The heat source is controlled in heat energy applied and location and orientation of the beam to stop heating when the temperature at the boundary of a tumor reaches the required hyperthermic temperature. Cooling of the tip portion of the probe can be effected by encasing the fiber in a tubing material defining a duct for the fiber and supply and return parallel ducts for cooling fluid, the tubing being encased in a titanium stiffening sleeve which is driven in the longitudinal and rotational directions to move the fiber tip.
