Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to a technique for selection of parameter configurations for a neurostimulator using neural networks. The technique may be employed by a programming device to allow a clinician to select parameter configurations, and then program an implantable neurostimulator to deliver therapy using the selected parameter configurations. The parameter configurations may include one or more of a variety of parameters, such as electrode configurations defining electrode combinations and polarities for an electrode set implanted in a patient. The electrode set may be carried by one or more implanted leads that are electrically coupled to the neurostimulator. In operation, the programming device executes a parameter configuration search algorithm to guide the clinician in the selection of parameter configurations. The search algorithm relies on a neural network that identifies potential optimum parameter configurations.

Title: Compresseur comprenant une soupape de delestage entre la ligne d'economiseur et l'entree de l'evaporateur
Inventor: LIFSON ALEXANDER
IPC: F04C29/04
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un compresseur comprenant une ligne d'injection de l'économiseur qui est raccordée aux chambres de compression du compresseur. Une soupape de décompression raccorde sélectivement la ligne d'injection de l'économiseur avec un point situé en amont de l'évaporateur. Lorsque le compresseur fonctionne en mode délesté, le frigorigène partiellement compressé est ainsi renvoyé vers un point situé en amont de l'évaporateur. En mode délesté ce processus entraîne la circulation d'une masse de frigorigène plus importante à travers l'évaporateur que dans les systèmes préexistants dans lesquels le frigorigène dérivé était renvoyé en aval de l'évaporateur. Le rendement du système est ainsi accru grâce à un renvoi plus efficace dans le compresseur de l'huile qui resterait autrement dans l'évaporateur. En outre la quantité de chaleur de surchauffe du frigorigène entrant dans le compresseur lors en fonctionnement en mode délesté est réduite par rapport aux systèmes compresseurs préexistants, dans lesquels le frigorigène dérivé est renvoyé directement dans la ligne d'aspiration du compresseur. Cette réduction de la chaleur de surchauffe augmente le rendement du système, améliore la performance du moteur et abaisse la température de sortie du compresseur.

Title: Method for grinding water-suspended paper fibers or cellulose fibers
Inventor: SCHNELL HANS
IPC: D21D1/38
Filed: 2004-11-11
Abstract: The method is used for refining a paper fiber suspension (S). This is refined chiefly by compressive forces between two refining surfaces ( 1, 2 ) that lie on refiner tools pressed against one another, since the refiner tools in the refining zone do not move or move very little relative to one another. The refining surfaces ( 1, 2 ) are embodied to be porous so that they can temporarily absorb or discharge part of the water (W) of the paper fiber suspension (S). An arrangement with central refiner cylinder ( 3 ) and refiner rolls ( 4 ) arranged on the periphery is particularly suitable as a device for carrying out the method. The refining surfaces can be embodied cylindrically or they can be provided with a toothing.

Title: Apparatus and method for supporting analog fax calls in a tandem configuration
Inventor: LEUNG NIKOLAI K N
IPC: H04N1/327
Filed: 1998-08-04
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for supporting analog fax calls between two wireless subscriber stations (62, 70) in a tandem configuration. The existence of a tandem configuration is detected, and a more efficient communication protocol is established between two base stations (64, 68) upon detection of the tandem configuration. A message generator (86a) in a first base station (64) generates an identification message. If the identification message is received by a second base station (68), the second base station (68) will be informed that the tandem configuration exists. A message generator (86b) in a second base station (68) may then generate a return message, which when received by the first base station (64), will notify the first base station (64) of the existence of the tandem configuration. To support the tandem configuration, full duplex communication may be established between the two base stations (64, 68). Full duplex communication may be realized by incorporating an echo canceler (96a) in the base station, or by utilizing both BFSK channels of the V.21 fax system for communication. The tandem configuration may also be supported by advanced flag synchronization. Thus, after a message is transmitted from a first base station (64) to a second base station (68), the second base station (68) will immediately start sending preamble flags to the first base station (64). The fist base station (64) may then synchronize its receiver (82a) for immediate receipt of the return message from the second base station (68).
