Title: System for detection of the position of electrodes of a defibrillator on a training manikin
Inventor: THU KJELL RAGNAR
IPC: G09B9/00
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: System for detecting an electrode position for a defibrillator on a manikin, in which two set of electrical conductive faces (1, 2) are provided in hidden positions under the manikin skin (11), in locations that correspond to correct and incorrect positions for placement of the defibrillator respectively, and which constitute the respective halves of a capacitor. Said faces (1, 2) are connected to a first (G1) and a second (G2) oscillator respectively, which oscillators emit two different frequencies. A position indicator may be arranged inside the manikin (6), which indicator will give notification to the user by the use of light sources e.g. light emitting diodes that shine through the manikin skin, or by activation of a sound signal. A device for signal analysis is arranged either in the defibrillator or in the manikin, in which device the relative amplitude of the frequency component (f1, f2) in the signal indicates position. Correct positioning is indicated by a high contribution of signal component (f1) from the first generator G1, together with a low contribution of signal component (f2) from the second generator G2. Correspondingly, incorrect positioning will be indicated by a high contribution of signal component (f2) from the second generator G2, together with a low contribution of signal component (f1) from the first generator G1. Instead of a real defibrillator, the invention may be used with a training defibrillator, an apparatus which is purpose made for training, and which simulates the behaviour of a defibrillator, but which is considerably more reasonable and does not include a high voltage part, and which is specially designed for measuring electrode positions and for communicating with the manikin.

Title: Coreless hollow filament separatory module and method of fabrication
IPC: B65H81/00
Filed: 1980-03-14
Abstract: A method of making coreless hollow filament bundles comprises winding a hollow filament 20 around a drum 22 having a number of axially extending vanes 24. The winding is formed in layers, each layer being a helix and adjacent layers being wound in opposite directions axially of the drum so that all the turns of the helix forming one layer cross all the turns of the helices forming the adjacent layers. The winding is then slid along the drum so that it is axially collapsed and forms an annular rope around one end of the drum. The annular rope is then cut into segments, each segment being the length of rope between adjacent vanes 24. Each segment forms a filament bundle and the ends of the filament lengths in each bundle are potted in the usual way.

One of these polypeptides is about 144 amino acids in length, including a potential leader sequence. The cDNA is derived from messenger RNA isolated from a human cell source after activation with concanavalin A.

Patent JP-H07217691-A (JP)
Title: Air absorber
Inventor: KATAGIRI MASAYOSHI
IPC: F16F9/02
Filed: 1994-01-31
Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce impact moise made on the rear wheel side when a parking brake is released by forming a small groove onto the inner surface of a cylinder main body so that air flows to a first air chamber from a second air chamber in a condition where a distance between a first piston and one end of the cylinder main body is a given distance or less. CONSTITUTION:When a first seal cup 18 slides to a small groove A, the first seal cup 18 can not seal the small groove A, and air flows into a first air chamber 15 from a third air chamber 19 via the small groove A. Thereupon, the third air chamber 19 vanishes, and a prutruded part 23a and a recessed part 12b are engaged again to concurrently slide. Consequently, the internal pressure in the third air chamber 19 vanishes, and a second seal cup 20 also can recede from the inner surface of the cylinder main body 11 to smoothly return first and second pistons 12 and 13 to their initial positions. This can relax the reaction force of an operation pedal before the first piston 12 returns to its initial position.

Title: Method and apparatus for multiplexing data signals
Inventor: RICHIYAADO AARU MATSUKUNAITO
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1991-01-04
Abstract: PURPOSE: To multiplex signals different by speeds. CONSTITUTION: These method and device are provided for a multiplexer which maps capacity time slots(CTS) arbitrarily adjacently assigned in a capacity domain frame to time slots (TDTS) in a time domain frame and disperses them throughout the time domain frame to convert input data signals having individual data speeds to more high-speed signals. This method receives signals having input data speeds synchronized with multiplexer clocks from individual synchronizers and uses a digit inversion method to map the capacity domain of the input signal to the time domain frame. In nay method, a capacity domain address is decomposed to a prescribed number taken from a prescribed number base, and an inverse number base is used to perform the similar calculation.  In the case of a method of three stages, an intermediate stage is used where the bit inversion method is used to convert a value first determined for each of the prescribed numbers.
