Title: Method and apparatus for configuring systems
Inventor: LYNCH JOHN
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1994-03-21
Abstract: The present invention employs a generative approach for configuring systems such that a system may be configured based on component or resource requests, or input in the form of need. The present invention provides a constraint-based configuration system using a structural model hierarchy. The structural aspects of the model provide the ability to define a model element as being contained in, or by, another model element. In addition, the structural model provides the ability to identify logical datatype and physical interconnections between elements and establish connections between elements. To configure a system, the present invention accepts input in the form of requests (e.g., component or resource) or needs, such as an expression of a need for a desktop computer system to be used in a CAD (i.e., computer-aided design) environment. Using this information, the present invention configures a system by identifying the resource and component needs, constraints imposed on or by the resources or components identified, and the structural aspects of the system.

Title: Feedback cancellation apparatus and methods utilizing adaptive reference filter mechanisms
Inventor: KATES JAMES MITCHELL
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2000-08-28
Abstract: A feedback cancellation system for a hearing aid or the like adapts a first filter in the feedback path that models the quickly varying portion of the hearing aid feedback path, and adapts a second filter in the feedback path that is used either as a reference filter for constrained adaptation or to model more slowly varying portions of the feedback path. The second filter is updated only when the hearing aid signals indicate that an accurate estimate of the feedback path can be obtained. Changes in the second filter are then monitored to detect changes in the hearing aid feedback path. The first filter is adaptively updated at least when the condition of the signal indicates that an accurate estimate of physical feedback cannot be made. It may be updated on a continuous or frequent basis.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NO94/00099 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 22, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 22, 1996 PCT Filed May 27, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/27695 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 8, 1994A weight-adjusted underwater toy is disclosed having a somewhat lower specific gravity than water, and having its center of gravity located below and somewhat behind the volumetric center of the toy. The toy has a streamlined shape, like a fish, a sea animal, a swimmer, or a submarine. The model will follow a long glide curve similar to an approximately upside down ballistic path when flung into the water, and will always rotate into a position with its back up and its abdomen down. When rising, the location of the center of gravity will provide an inclined forward/upward position for the model, and horizontal side wings (fins or other details) will prevent a purely vertical rising movement by providing a forwardly directed momentum during a buoyancy movement. The weight adjustment takes place either by forming the model from a material which is heavier than water and is divided in two parts along a horizontal center section with an excavation in the top part in front of the center of the section surface, in such a manner that when joining the parts together, a sealed air pocket is formed, or by forming the model from a material which is lighter than water and has a heavier weight imbedded below and somewhat behind its volumetric center.

Title: Expandable annuloplasty ring
Inventor: CARPENTIER ALEXANDRE
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1998-07-22
Abstract: An expandable annuloplasty ring which may either expand spontaneously, in situ, as the patient grows or be expanded by surgical intervention by balloon dilatation. The distensible annuloplasty ring of the invention may be usable in pediatric patients whose growth, subsequent to surgical implantation of the ring, will necessitate subsequent enlargement of the ring to accommodate growth of the annulus. The ring may include relatively expandable segments to enable the enlargement thereof. The ring segments may include engaging teeth which cooperate with notches or slots formed in the tubes to provide some resistance to ring distention, while preventing collapse of the ring in the opposite direction. The teeth may be of different sizes or shapes to regulate the amount of force needed to expand the ring at different stages of the patient's growth. Alternatively, the adjustable ring includes a solid core of non-elastic material which plastically retains its shape upon natural expansion of the annulus, or after surgical expansion. In one embodiment, segments are coupled together with a discontinuity around the ring periphery. Pivot regions are provided between adjacent segments that, along with the discontinuity, enable the ring to expand upon annulus growth. The discontinuity may be positioned along the anterior side of the ring or around the posterior side. A further version makes use of telescoped segments with no discontinuity. The segments are coupled together with tubular sheaths, and expand without decoupling. A fabric covering may be omitted.
