Abstract: In a shift mechanism for an outboard motor mounted on a stern of a boat and having an internal combustion engine and a propeller connected by a propeller shaft to the engine to propel the boat, a vertical shaft connected to the engine and transmitting an output of the engine to the propeller shaft is divided into two shaft halves and an electromagnetic clutch is provided to connect/disconnect the shaft halves. An electronic controller is provided to operate the electromagnetic clutch to disconnect the vertical shaft halves until one of the forward and reverse gears corresponding to the instruction to shift has been engaged with the propeller shaft, and then operate it to connect the shaft halves after the one of the forward gear and the reverse gear has been engaged with the propeller shaft. Alternatively, two electromagnetic clutches are provided to engage the forward or reverse gear with the propeller shaft, and the controller controls operation of the electromagnetic clutches in response to the instruction to shift such that corresponding one of the forward and reverse gears is engaged with the propeller shaft. With this, it becomes possible to decrease an impact occurring at the beginning of shift, thereby enabling to prevent the outboard motor from vibrating, while enabling to improve the operation feeling and facilitate maintenance, and to avoid a problem regarding space utilization.

Title: Method & system for processing electrocardial signals
Inventor: GINZBURG AARON
IPC: A61B5/366
Filed: 2004-06-11
Abstract: Known methods of heart function analysis, while useful, suffer from a number of limitations. These include the fact that these methods are inherently static, in that they consider an individual ECG that can only provide a picture of heart function at a particular moment in time. Furthermore, the assessment depends upon the expertise of specialists performing a visual analysis of ECG traces, which may be subjective, and of limited sensitivity. The present invention provides a method of processing ECG signals. The method comprises the steps of extracting data from at least one ECG signal determining a time derivative of said data and generating a normalised index value representative of the energy in said time derivative. Accordingly, the method provides an index that may be used as an objective indication of heart function, and recorded for an individual patient over a period of time as a dynamic record of any change in heart function of the patient that may be indicative of abnormal function or heart disease.
