Title: Apparatus and method for non-invasive, passive fetal heart monitoring
Inventor: MOSES EDWARD J
IPC: A61B5/344
Filed: 2000-03-10
Granted: 2005-01-04
Abstract: An apparatus and method for fetal heart and maternal heart and uterine monitoring is provided which acquire biopotential waveforms indicative of the mother's heart beat from sensors located at or near the mother's chest, and waveforms indicative of the combined maternal and fetal heart beats from abdominal sensors located on the mother's abdomen, lower back, or both. The signals from the abdominal sensors are divided into a plurality of channels. An adaptive signal processing filter (ASPF) algorithm or other suitable algorithm is then used to cancel the estimated material waveform from each channel derived from the abdominal sensors. The system then selects from the resulting waveforms at least one waveform to serve as the reference fetal waveform. The reference waveform is then processed against the other abdominal waveforms preferably using the ASPF algorithm again to form an enhanced fetal signal that is a representation of the fetus's biopotential electrocardiogram (EKG f). The EKG r can subsequently be used to measure fetal heart rate and other biophysical profile parameters. Surface electromyogram (EMG) signals allow for concurrent monitoring of uterine contractions and afford improved cancellation of motion artifacts.

Title: Lithographic imaging with metal-based, non-ablative wet printing members
Inventor: LEWIS THOMAS E
IPC: B41C1/10
Filed: 2001-04-30
Granted: 2006-09-05
Abstract: Lithographic imaging using non-ablative printing members combines the benefits of simple construction, the ability to utilize traditional metal base supports, and amenability to imaging with low-power lasers that need not impart ablation-inducing energy levels. A representative printing member has a hydrophilic metal substrate and, thereover, first and second layers. The first layer has a thickness and an exposed surface and comprises a material that absorbs imaging radiation.  The second layer overlies the first layer and is oleophilic and substantially transparent to imaging radiation. Exposure to imaging radiation causes the first layer and the substrate to irreversibly detach without substantial ablation, thereby facilitating removal, by subjection to the cleaning liquid, of the first and second layers where detachment has taken place.

Granted: 2004-11-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method that is used for removing gas from drilling mud coming from gas and oil well-bores. The apparatus receives the gas ladened drilling mud and utilizes the energy from the gas ladened mud to power blower fans that are used to discharge any released gas. A set of conical trays are used to catch the gas ladened mud that is dispersed in the energy utilization by a set of helical blades. The gas ladened mud will slowly flow down the conical trays and liberate gas with the assistance of a partial vacuum that is within the reaction vessel. A liquid trap is also formed in the bottom portion of the reaction vessel, to prevent air from entering the reaction vessel. The gas generated is expelled out of the reaction vessel and burned off by a flare line or simply released into the outside air.

Title: Air pressure detection device for wheel
Inventor: YAMAGIWA TOSHIO
IPC: B60C23/04
Filed: 2002-01-10
Granted: 2005-10-18
Abstract: A wheel 14 comprises a disk form wheel 41, a tire 42 fitted to the wheel 41, and a tire tube 43 contained between the wheel 41 and the tire 42, and is provided with an air pressure detection device 50 intermediately disposed between the tire tube 43 and the wheel 41. A metallic line form reception antenna 39 is insert molded in a front fender 32. Since the distance from a transmission means fitted to an air pressure sensor to the reception antenna is reduced, reception sensitivity can be enhanced. In addition, since the reception antenna can be pitched to about the size of the fender, the reception sensitivity can be enhanced.      Further, since jigs for fixing the antenna are needless, a reduction in the number of component parts can be contrived, and the antenna can be fixed without spoiling the appearance.

Granted: 2010-11-02
Abstract: A circuit for detecting a transition in the content of a digital video stream containing embedded audio samples and providing a smooth transition from an old audio stream embedded before the transition to a new audio stream embedded after the transition. The circuit detects the transistion and in response it fades out the old audio stream and fades in the new audio stream. During the transition, the old and new audio signal are buffered. The old stream is not faded out until only a number of audio samples required for the fading process remain in the associated buffer. The new audio stream is not faded in until a selected number of audio samples have been stored I the associated buffer. The selected number of samples is typically smaller than the number of samples that is desirably stored in the associated buffer during steady state operation. An interpolation operation is used to allow the number of new audio samples in the associated buffer to build up to the desired number.
