Inventor: INADA NICHIMU
IPC: A61H1/00
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: A chair-type massage machine with which a user can have treatment for her/his under leg portion in a seated posture and that has a high degree of freedom and accuracy for a pressing angle and pressing position relative to the under leg portion, and enables the user to freely take a desired posture without interference. A chair-type massage machine (1) has an ottoman (4) with a support portion (7) capable of supporting an under leg (22) of a person to be treated and treatment portions (8) capable of proceeding and receding so as to press the under leg (22) of the person to be treated. The support portion (7) has rising portions (9) projectable so as to rise, at both sides in the left/right direction of the support portion (7), inward in the left/right direction. The treatment portions (8) are arranged on the rising portions (9).  When the rising portions (9) and the treatment portions (8) are in a receded state, the rising portions (9) and the portions located inward in the left/right direction of the rising portion (9), or the support portions (7) and the treatment portions (8), form a substantially flat surface.

This scoring or cutting the ribs and at least a surface layer of the film structure forms predetermined separable elements. This inelastically stretching the strip to separated projections and the separated separable surface elements across the strip. The spacings between adjacent separated separable surface elements comprises an oriented film.

Abstract: A current collector wire (1) is over-moulded with a seal (2) made from a thermoplastic elastomer (Santoprene 64) having a (64) Shore A hardness rating.  In a three electrode carbon monoxide sensor three current collector wire (1a, 1b, 1c) and seal (2a, 2b, 2c) combinations are inserted into the body (3) through receiving apertures (12a, 12b, 12c) in a side wall of the body, so that the current collectors protrude through connection apertures (12a, 12b and 12c). The outside diameters of the seals and the bores of the apertures are dimensioned to provide an interference fit of the one in the other. The seals are pressed home into receiving apertures in the body (3) to provide compression of the seals against both current collectors and the aperture bores resultant from the interference. Gold-plated phosphor bronze clips (8) are attached which locate on and are retained by barbs on the housing, thereby trapping the current collector wires and providing electrical contact to external circuitry.

Abstract: Techniques for estimating the temporal refractory period of a heart, for adjusting a parameter for delivery of extra-systolic stimulation (ESS) therapy and for detecting an arrhythmia during delivery of ESS therapy are disclosed.  In some embodiments, a medical device periodically delivers probe pulses to the heart to estimate the location of the end, e.g., boundary, of the refractory period, and accordingly estimate its length. In exemplary embodiments, the medical device determines whether two consecutive probe pulses did and did not capture the heart, respectively, and the estimates the length of the refractory period as a value between the intervals of the consecutive probe pulses. In other embodiments, the ESI is adjusted based on a measured delay between delivery of an extra-systolic pulse and detection of an evoked response resulting from the pulse.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and equipment for the treatment of stillage generated by the tequila industry during distillation and mashing, which are intended to eliminate any contaminants contained in the stillage for the purpose of water recovery by means of water vapour. The invention also relates to a novel heat exchanger and stillage evaporator which are used during the process in order to ensure that the vapour generated thereby comprises 100 %  water vapour. In this way, the vapour can be re-used in the process line, thereby saving water and eliminating residual discharges to canals or rivers.  The solids recovered from the process can be used to produce sub-products having a high concentration of fibre, sugar, protein, as a mixture for livestock feed or biofertilizers, or to produce ethyl alcohol. The inventive process does not require skilled labour and can be performed by general production personnel. In addition, the process requires a surface area of no more than 180m2 and, as such, complies with Official Mexican Standard NOM-OO1-ECOL-1996.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for introducing a plug into the peritoneal dialysis connector of a patient. The aim of the invention is to enable any number of disconnecting/connecting processes to be carried out in patient connectors that introduce a sterile plug into the connection of the patient in the stomach during the disconnection process. To this end, the invention relates to a device for introducing a plug into the peritoneal dialysis connector of a patient, said device consisting of a housing containing a plug, and means for transferring the plug from the device into the connector of the patient. One such device can be used to introduce a new plug, under sterile conditions, into a patient connector comprising a plug that has already been used. For a plug such as that described in the application DE 198 14 047 Cl, the introduction of a new plug causes the push-button with which the plug is inserted to return to its initial position, so that the patient connector is ready for a new connection/disconnection process. In this way, a multiple reintroduction of plugs into the connector of a patient is feasible. The invention is advantageous in that costs are only incurred as a result of an intentional connection/disconnection process.

Abstract: A receiver in an OFDM communication system includes a power detector and a gain controller. The power detector detects for total received power of a received OFDM signal, e.g., by computing the power of the data samples from an ADC and averaging the power. The gain controller adjusts the gain of the receiver in discrete gain steps and in one direction, e.g., from the lowest gain state to the highest gain state, based on the detected total received power. The gain controller initializes the receiver to the lowest gain state.  Thereafter, the gain controller detects for low total received power, e.g., by comparing the detected total received power against a predetermined threshold.  The gain controller transitions to a higher gain state if low total received power is detected and maintains the current gain state otherwise.
