Title: Method for vibrator sweep analysis and synthesis
Inventor: SITTON GARY ARTHUR
IPC: G01V1/37
Filed: 2001-02-26
Abstract: A process for analyzing, decomposing, synthesizing and extracting seismic signal components, such as the fundamental of a pilot sweep or its harmonics, from seismic data uses a set of basis functions. The basis functions may be any of the harmonics or other components derived from the pilot sweep. These basis functions are modulated with the data being analyzed. The resulting data output from the modulation are then low-pass filtered so that the instantaneous amplitude and differential phase of the particular signal component to be synthesized may be computed. Each targeted component is then synthesized and the result subtracted from the remaining data.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating a representation of t he extent of relatedness between at least two classes of cells. The invention also provides a method for generating a representation of the correlation between a first class of cells and a second class of cells. The correlation reflects a change in the nature and amount of nucleic acids present in the classes. In these methods, the cells in each class are chosen from among cel ls of a given cell type, cells from a given tissue, and cells from a given orga n. The methods establish similarities or differences between the classes by defining a plurality of pairs of nucleotide subsequences, each pair consisti ng of a first subsequence and a second subsequence, and, in the nucleic acid of  each class of cells, determining the presence of a fragment with the first subsequence at one end and the second subsequence at another end and having a length separated by the first and second subsequences, as well as a quantitation of the extent to which each fragment is present. The methods th en determine the extent of relatedness reflecting the similarities or differenc es among the classes. The invention further provides display means displaying a  representation of the extent of relatedness between the classes of cells, an d displayinga representation of the correlation between the first class of cells and the second class of cells. Additionally, the invention provides a representation of the extent of relatedness between the classes of cells, an d representation of the correlation between the first class of cells and the second class of cells.

Abstract: An in-line phonation valve system (10) including a valve body (12) having first and second ends (14, 16) through which gas passes into and out of the valve body (12). The first end (14) is connectable to a breathing tube connected to a patient's airway, for passage of gas between the breathing tube and the valve body (12).  The second end (16) of the valve body (12) is connectable to a gas line. A diaphragm-valve assembly (28) is provided which includes a one-way valve (30) having a phonation position permitting gas to pass through said valve body (12) toward said patient when said patient inhales. The one-way valve (30) in the phonation position substantially prevents gas from passing through the valve body (12) when the patient exhales. The diaphragm-valve assembly (28) is movable out of the phonation position, so as to permit substantially free flow of gas through the valve body (12) both toward and away from the patient when the patient respectively inhales and exhales. The diaphragm-valve assembly (28) is movable from the phonation position without disconnecting the first end (14) from the breathing tube and the second end (16) from the gas line. Preferably, the diaphragm-valve assembly (28) is a removable cartridge which is replaceable with a free-flowing ring cartridge insert (42).

Title: Method for detecting presence of a blade in an ultrasonic system
Inventor: FRIEDMAN ALLAN L
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-10-17
Abstract: The type of blade installed in a hand piece of an ultrasonic system is determined and the information used to adjust the fault detection threshold of the generator by using an impedance diagram to determine the type of blade which is connected to the hand piece. A  check is performed to determine the magnitude of the blade impedance at resonance. If the hand piece is bare (i.e. no blade is attached), the magnitude of the impedance at resonance is typically less than 125 ohms. If on the other hand, a blade is connected, the impedance will be greater that 125 ohms. This value is used to indicated the presence or absence of a blade.
