Title: Metabolic analyzer
Inventor: HOWARD CHARLES PETER
IPC: A61B5/08
Filed: 1994-04-13
Granted: 1996-08-22
Abstract: A metabolic rate analyzer comprises a CO2 detector (30), an O2 detector (31), a flow resistance (38), a differential pressure transducer (40), a solenoid-actuated metering valve (33) for producing a volumetrically-proportional sample of respired gas, a vacuum regulator (34) for receiving the sample, a pump (35) for drawing the sample from the vacuum regulator, and a processor (36) for periodically sampling the differential pressure signal to provide a flow signal, to modulate power applied to the solenoid-actuated metering valve (33), and to provide a measure of the total volume of respired gas. The processor correlates the total volume of respired gas, O2 content and CO2 content to provide a measure of metabolic rate. Flow is recycled between the pump (35) and the regulator (34) to provide a source of mixed respired gas for analysis and digital integration of the flow signal provides a measure of the total volume of respired gas. A pulse generator driven by the microprocessor (36) varies the frequency of pulses applied to the metering valve and the pulse width to provide volumetrically-proportional sampling and to control the effective sample volume of the analyzer, respectively. The processor determines the slope of the flow signal and increases the periodic sample rate of the pressure signal when slope is increasing and decreases he periodic sample rate when slop is decreasing to provide derivative augmentation of the sample period. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for synchronising the transmitters of a plurality of transmission stations of a telecontrol transmission system
Inventor: DOBBERSTEIN JOACHIM
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1990-08-07
Granted: 1992-10-01
Abstract: In ripple-control transmitting installations, which consist of a ripple-control centre and a plurality of decentralised substations, each substation containing a ripple-control transmitter which supplies a ripple-control message into a current supply network, it is intended that the ripple-control message be supplied synchronously by the individual transmitters. The invention proposes a method for transmitting a data message from the ripple-control centre to the substations and for synchronised generation of a ripple-control message in the substations which corresponds to the data message. In this method, the data message is transmitted in the multi-point traffic from the ripple-control centre to the substations, acknowledgement of receipt of the data message is asked for and, if necessary, the data message is transmitted repeatedly. In the substations, receipt of a data message initiates the start of a delay period after which the ripple-control message is transmitted provided no countermand message, transmitted by the ripple-control centre, occurs before the delay period has elapsed. <IMAGE>

Title: hPTH (1-37) fragment, its production, drug containing it and its use
Inventor: FORSSMANN WOLF-GEORG
IPC: A61P5/12
Filed: 1990-10-25
Granted: 1993-11-25
Abstract: A human blood peptide, hPTH (1-37), the structure of which has been elucidated, can be used as a drug for diagnostic, medical and industrial purposes. The isolation of an hPTH (38-84) fragment demonstrates the existence of the hPTH (1-37). Removal of amino-terminal amino acids on the hPTH (1-37) reduces its biological activity. The hPTH (1-37) which circulates in the blood is identical to the synthetic reference substance hPTH (1-37), but not fragments such as hPTH (1-33), hPTH (1-34) or hPTH (1-38). The existence of the hPTH (1-37) molecular form was proved by mass spectroscopy (plasma desorption method). A different biological activity and differences in the three-dimensional peptide structure between the hPTH (1-37) fragment and other hPTH fragments prove that this hPTH fragment is the preferred natural peptide of the parathormone family, which should be used for treating diseases of the parathyroids, the circulatory and respiratory systems, the male genital organ and the kidneys.

Granted: 2003-08-14
Abstract: Hinges (12) for orthopedic and rehabilitation braces allow intuitive, convenient and positive control and adjustment of the limits to which the braces (10) may extend or flex. Such hinges (12) also allow convenient locking of such braces (10). A flexion switch (24) and an extension switch (26) allow convenient repositioning of stops (56) or limits which limit flexion and extension of the brace (10).

Title: Silo content mixing process - multi branch offtake ensures good blend in product
IPC: B01F5/24
Filed: 1972-03-16
Abstract: The conical base of the silo contains an intermediate floor of 4 concs. each with its own controlled off take discharging into the main off take. Rising from the four ridges between the iones, are four stand pipes. These are supported inside the silo by a frame and flexible connections are used to couple up to the ridges. At the top of these and on numerous side arms are collection heads which pick up material from all over the silo and feed into the main off take. The collector heads have conical hats, the angle being steeper than the angle of repose of the material. The hats ensure that the heads collect from a greater area than immediately above the head. The base off take is thus a blend from all over the silo.
