Title: Apparatus for providing positive airway pressure to a patient
Inventor: KEPLER JEFF
IPC: A62B7/00
Filed: 2003-11-25
Abstract: A system including methods and apparatus for treatment of a medical disorder such as obstructive sleep apnea or congestive heart failure. The system involves applying a gain to flow rate of pressurized gas delivered to a patient during inspiratory and/or expiratory phases of a respiratory cycle to deliver the pressurized gas in proportion to the respective gains during inspiration and/or expiration. A base pressure may be applied in addition to the gain-modified pressures and an elevated pressure profile may be employed to assist or control inspiration. The system may be utilized in connection with conventional continuous positive airway pressure treatments, such as CPAP  or bi-level positive airway pressure equipment to effect various beneficial treatment applications.

Title: Sensor system and method for sensing in an elevated-temperature environment, with protection against external heating
Inventor: RAVURI RAO S
IPC: G01J1/02
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: Sensing in an elevated-temperature environment is provided using a sensor system having a sensor housing with an exterior wall with a window-support region having an outwardly facing external face, and a window through the window-support region of the exterior wall and affixed to the exterior wall. A  sensor unit contained within the sensor housing receives an input signal through the window. A thermal-insulation layer is on the external face of the window-support region of the exterior wall at a location immediately adjacent to the window. The sensor system is operated in an environment wherein the window-support region of the exterior wall is heated to a temperature of greater than about 100 ~C in the event that no thermal-insulation layer is present. In a typical application, the sensor system is attached to an aircraft such that the external face is in a forward-facing orientation, and the aircraft is operated such that the external face is heated by aerodynamic heating.

Title: Detecteur d'echo possedant un correlateur avec pre-traitement
Inventor: AHMADI MASOUD
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 2003-02-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne un détecteur d'écho établissant une corrélation entre un signal entrant et un signal d'écho, aux fins de détermination d'un retard d'écho. Un pré-processeur extrait un modèle de caractéristique, tel qu'un modèle binaire dérivé par seuillage d'une puissance moyenne de chaque signal. Ce modèle est sous-échantillonné puis utilisé pour la corrélation et un délai est déduit des crêtes présentes dans la corrélation. On peut citer parmi des avantages, une charge de calculs réduite ou une dimension de fenêtre de corrélation plus importante, ces avantages découlant du fait que le modèle de caractéristique est plus facile à corréler. La quantification peut accroître les crêtes de corrélation et l'établissement d'une moyenne peut limiter le nombre de transitions, de manière à donner un caractère plus robuste au bruit. Un annuleur d'écho comprend un estimateur de retard d'écho grossier et un estimateur de retard d'écho fin. Le retard estimé de manière grossière est utilisé pour régler une gamme de détection de retard d'un détecteur de retard fin possédant une gamme restreinte. La sortie du détecteur fin est utilisée pour régler ou supprimer l'annuleur d'écho adaptatif.

Title: Elliptical trainer
Inventor: STEVENS CLIVE GRAHAM
IPC: A63B22/08
Filed: 2006-04-05
Abstract: An exercise machine includes a static disk that is fixed in place and a dynamic disk that both rotates about its axis and revolves about the static disk. The static disk and the dynamic disk are mechanically coupled in a manner that provides a constant angular relationship between the rotation of the dynamic disk about its axis and the revolution of that axis about the axis of the static disk. The machine further includes a rotating member supported by a static pivot axis and a crank axle to which the dynamic disk is fixed. The crank axle is rotated by a crank and the rotating member imposes a fixed distance between the crank axle and the static pivot axis. The foot pedal member is pivotally supported at a distal end of the crank so that rotation of the crank causes the foot pedal to follow a generally elliptical path.
