Title: An equine strike protection collar
Inventor: DALY ANDREW SEAN GORDON
IPC: B68B7/00
Filed: 2002-10-30
Granted: 2006-08-23
Abstract: A tendon and ligament support for a limb joint, such as a ankle joint, and in particular to an animal joint such as a horse's fetlock joint, is provided. Tendon and ligament strain during exercise or rest may be limited by limiting the degree of joint movement to a safe level. The level of support (118) may be adjusted. A first collar (1,112) is adapted to embrace the limb above the joint and a second collar (3,113) is adapted to embrace the limb below the joint. A connecting means (4) provides articulation between and separation of the two collars, and is adapted to provide limited elongation of the ligaments and /or tendons under load, and includes means arranged so as to exert a resistance (21,61,71,114,115) to joint movement over a predetermined range of joint rotation. The connecting means may be a hinge (11) or a stiff bendable connecting piece. The resistance-exerting means may be a connector of high tensile strength and limited elasticity (61,71,115) connected to one or more points on each of the collars, preferably adapted so as to mimic an artificial tendon or ligament arrangement. <IMAGE>

Title: Speech recognition method and apparatus
Inventor: MOSHIER STEPHEN LLOYD
IPC: G10L15/10
Filed: 1982-09-21
Granted: 1986-05-21
Abstract: A speech recognition method and apparatus for detecting and recognizing one or more keywords in a continuous audio signal are disclosed. Each keyword is represented by a keyword template which corresponds to a sequence of plural target patterns, and each target pattern comprises statistics representing each of a plurality of spectra selected from plural short-term spectra generated according to a predetermined system for processing the incoming audio. The target patterns also have associated therewith minimum and maximum dwell times. The dwell time is the time interval during which a given target pattern can be said to match incoming frame patterns. The spectra are processed to enhance the separation between the spectral pattern classes during later analysis. The processed audio spectra are grouped into multi-frame spectral patterns and each multi-frame spectral pattern is compared by means of likelihood statistics with the target patterns of keyword templates. Each formed multi-frame pattern is then forced to contribute to the total word score for each keyword as represented by the keyword template. Thus the keyword recognition method requires all input patterns to contribute to the word score of a keyword candidate, using the minimum and maximum dwell times for testing whether a target pattern can still match an input pattern, and wherein the frame rate of the audio spectra must be less than one-half the minimum dwell time of a target pattern. A concatentation technique employing a loosely set detection threshold makes it very unlikely that a correct pattern will be rejected. A method for forming the target patterns is also described.

Title: Anti-bacup improvement for hypodermic syringes
Inventor: HARRIS DALE CARVIN
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 1993-10-18
Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-backup device which prevents the nut (10) from moving up the threaded piston (5) at the end of the dose by rotating in the opposite direction of that in which the nut (10) moves up the position to set the new dose by rotating dose knob. In this way, it is assured that movement of the nut up the threaded piston is due to rotating the dose knob (15) in the proper direction. The preferred device is a pawl (25) mounted on the end of a flexible arm (32) of the nut which cooperates with slots (26) on the inside of the syringe barrel (27). The nut (10) also has an incline surface (28) at the end which mates with an incline surface (29) in the barrel (27) and the mating of these surfaces at the end of the dose forces the pawl (25) into a slot (26) and prevents rotation of the nut (10) in the wrong direction, thus preventing refilling of the syringe. <IMAGE>
