Inventor: MAGRUDER JUDY A
IPC: A61D7/00
Filed: 1995-06-30
Abstract: A delivery system is disclosed for delivering a fluid-sensitive beneficial agent such as a somatotropin, or an analogue or derivative thereof, to an animal such as a bovine. The delivery system comprises a wall that surrounds an internal compartment, said wall comprising a first wall section that limits the passage of fluid into the system and a second wall section that permits the passage of fluid into the system. The wall may further comprise an end cap which may include means for adapting the end cap for ultrasonic welding to the first wall section and means for maintaining the beneficial agent in contact with exit means. The compartment comprises a beneficial agent and an expandable means. The delivery system comprises exit means for delivering the beneficial agent to the animal. The exit means may include means for compensating for slight variations in the efflux rate of the beneficial agent and means for maintaining for a sufficient velocity or efflux rate of beneficial agent outward from the device while minimizing diffusion of fluids from the external environment back into the device.

Patent NZ-308051-A (NZ)
Title: Throttle arrangement and method of operating the same
Inventor: FEISTEL NORBERT
IPC: F16J15/16
Filed: 1996-06-04
Abstract: The choke arrangement comprises an elastic choke ring which consists of a single piece with a gap formed by a parting joint. The choke arrangement: further comprises a support ring which is arranged directly adjacent to the choke ring in the axial direction, with the support ring serving, among other things to cover over the gap of the choke ring. An advantage of the choke arrangement with an elastically resilient choke ring is to be seen wherein the choke ring reacts to dynamic pressure changes and thereupon changes its sealing properties. A peak in pressure produces an increased difference in pressure at the choke arrangement, whereby the elastic choke ring is pressed against the sliding surface of a piston rod and effects an increased sealing action, so that the pressure peak cannot propagate to a sealing ring placed after the choke arrangement. The choke arrangement thus behaves analogously to a frequency selective filter known from electrical engineering in that high-frequency pressure changes are sealed off, whereas static or slowly varying pressure components are not sealed off.

Title: Heart monitoring method by analysing electrocardiograph signals against a range and apparatus
Inventor: GAMLYN LEE
IPC: A61B5/366
Filed: 1996-09-03
Abstract: A heart monitoring apparatus and method is disclosed wherein an electrocardiograph signal is obtained from a patient and processed to enhance the salient features and to suppress noise. A plurality n of values representative of the features of the electrocardiograph signal are generated and used in a Kohonen neural network to generate an n dimensional vector. This vector is compared with a stored plurality m of n dimensional reference vectors defining an n dimensional Kohonen feature map to determine the proximity of the vector to the reference vectors. If it is determined by the Kohonen neural network that the vector is within or beyond a threshold range of the reference vectors a signal is output which can be used to initiate an event such as the generation of an alarm or the storage of ECG data.

Title: Ground plane for GPS patch antenna
Inventor: VINSON JAMES K
IPC: H01Q1/12
Filed: 2000-02-28
Abstract: An antenna structure including a ground plane that provides a good front to back ratio while maintaing a small size and which can mechanically be made to fit into tight areas. The antenna structure may be a GPS patch antenna, or any other antenna adapted to receive broadcast signals. The ground plane is made from radar absorbing material (RAM) in electrical contract with conductive radials. The RAM inherently acts to suppress surface currents on the ground plane, which in turn reduces back signals. Although RAM has some resistance, it is low enough such that the electrical effect of the radials is extended through the RAM, essentially simulating a "solid" conductive disk. Both the RAM and radials may be made from light and flexible material, and consequently may be adapted for use in a variety of applications.
