Title: Device for releasably securing objects to bones
Inventor: GLOSSOP NEIL DAVID
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 1999-06-17
Granted: 2008-02-05
Abstract: A device to releasably secure an object to a bone is disclosed. The device has a rotation restricting member which, while engaging the bone, prevents rotation of the member. The device also comprises an axial supporting member which axially secures the device to the bone, and preferably comprises a bone screw. While the bone screw and rotation restricting member engage the bone, a fastening mechanism fastens the rotation restricting member to the bone screw. In this way, objects can be releasably secured to the rotation restricting member or the bone screw by means of a clamp to temporarily axially and rotationally secure the objects to the bone. Preferably, the rotation restricting member comprises a sleeve and the fastening mechanism comprises a nut which engages threads on the bone screw. The sleeve comprises serrated teeth which, when biased towards the bone, engage the bone to restrict rotation of the sleeve. Rotation of the nut about the threads on the bone screw axially bias the sleeve towards the bone such that the serrated teeth engage the bone to restrict rotation of the sleeve about the screw and to fasten the sleeve to the bone screw.

Title: Mobile biometric identification system
Inventor: BRACELAND JOSEPH M
IPC: G06F21/32
Filed: 1998-09-25
Granted: 2006-02-07
Abstract: A distributed biometric identification system incorporates highly mobile workstations. The system generally includes a plurality of mobile workstations and a file server remotely located from the workstations.  The workstations receive input biometric data, such as fingerprint and photographic data, and couples that biometric data to the remote file server. The file server compares the input biometric data with stored biometric data to determine whether any of the stored biometric data matches the input biometric data. The results of the comparison are provided to the workstation that requested the comparison.  Workstation mobility is enhanced by providing a wireless and/or PSTN communications link between the workstation and the remotely located file server. Workstation mobility is further improved by housing the workstation in a self-contained, compartmentalized carrying case. Workstation mobility may be even further enhanced by housing the workstation in a so-called lunchbox configuration having a main body, a front panel hinged to the main body, and a back panel hinged to the main body. The front and back panels each have a stowed position adjacent the main body, and a deployed position away from the main body. When the panels are in their stowed positions, the workstation (i.e., main body, front panel, and back panel) is a compact, portable unit.

Title: Online database mining
Inventor: AGGARWAL CHARU CHANDRA
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1998-09-29
Granted: 2003-10-28
Abstract: A computer method is provided of online mining of quantitative association rules which has two stages, a preprocessing stage followed by an online rule generation stage. The required computational effort is reduced by the preprocessing stage, defined by preprocessing data to organize the relationships between antecedent attributes to create a hierarchically arranged multidimensional indexing structure. The resulting structure facilitates the performance of the second stage, online processing, which involves the generation of quantitative association rules. The second stage, online rule generation, utilizes the multidimensional index structure created by the preprocessing stage by first finding the areas in the data which correspond to the rules and then uses a merging step to create a merged tree in order to carefully combine interesting regions in order to give a hierarchical representation of the rule set. The merged tree is then used in order to actually generate the rules.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une composition contenant un polymère d'éthylène/oléfine cyclique catalysé par un métallocène, en particulier un copolymère d'éthylène/norbornène et une résine terpolymère d'éthylène/norbornène/alpha-oléfine dotés d'une ténacité et d'une transformabilité améliorées qui permettent de les utiliser pour la production de films. L'invention concerne des résines à base d'éthylène pouvant être transformées comme le polyéthylène basse densité à structure linéaire, mais dont la transformabilité améliorée les rend aptes à la fabrication d'un film, notamment par la technique d'extrusion de bulles soufflées. Les films préparés grâce aux résines de la présente invention présentent des propriétés sensiblement améliorées telles que la résistance à la déchirure, sans pour autant être dépourvues des propriétés avantageuses qu'une résine du type polyéthylène basse densité à structure linéaire peut conférer à un film. L'invention se rapporte également à une application de moulage des copolymères E/NB et des terpolymères E/NB/O précités.

Granted: 2004-06-22
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for the application of fluoropolymer to a preselected area of a threaded fastener, and particularly to substantially all of the threads of the fastener. The fluoropolymer is supplied to a spray nozzle in powder form and is subjected to a triboelectrostatic charging process so that individual particles discharged from the spray nozzle are electrically charged. In the preferred form of the invention, the fluoropolymer powder is triboelectrically charged, entrained in an air stream discharged from the nozzle and directed onto the preselected area of the fastener. In this manner a generally uniform powder coating is deposited onto the preselected area of the fastener while the fastener is maintained at room temperature. Thereafter, t he fastener is heated to a temperature above the melting point of the fluoropolymer to thereby coalesce the deposited powder into a continuous film coating which adheres, upon cooling, to the pre-selected area of the fastener. In accordance with a preferred embodiment , the fastener is heated in a manner which raises the temperature of only the preselected area of the fastener to the fluoropolymer melting point. This preferred heating technique minimizes the retention of fluoropolymer inadvertently deposited on areas of the fastener other than the preselected area, and allows this undesired fluoropolymer to be easily removed, even after heating.
