Patent CA-2468201-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CERASUOLO MARK
IPC: H03G5/16
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: The invention disclosed is a room volume control that simultaneously and automatically controls both the loudness and the loudness compensation of sound from speakers of an audio system as the volume level is changed. A resistive volume control having a movable contact provides a different resistor value from an input terminal of the volume control to the movable contact for controlling the loudness of an audio signal. A parallel circuit of an inductor and a capacitor coupled through the movable contact is in series with the resistor value of the resistive volume control from the input terminal to the movable contact for controlling the loudness compensation of the audio signal.

Abstract: The present invention addresses many of the issues of the existing healthcare management system by providing each insured with an electronically readable identity card or smartcard (18), which includes a memory device that identifies the insured, the insured's insurance carrier and may include the insured's photograph. The card (18) provides access to a database (22) maintained by the card issuer which includes such records (23) as the insured's current medical history and insurance coverage. Each facility used by an insured will have access to the database (22) for that facility's special needs, i.e., an emergency room would have access to the insured's medical history and drug use but not to financial data. A card reader (7) at each such location has appropriate hardware and software to allow the card reader to access the database and return information to a viewer, such as a computer monitor, to allow the user to view information about the insured.
