Title: dispositivo de cateter venoso central de longa permanência do tipo quase totalmente implantável
Inventor: ALBUQUERQUE MARCOS AUGUSTO SIL
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2006-04-26
Abstract: "DISPOSITIVO DE CATETER VENOSO CENTRAL DE LONGA PERMANêNCIA DO TIPO QUASE TOTALMENTE IMPLANTáVEL". Aqui simplesmente chamado de SUBMARINO. é um dispositivo para ser utilizado na área médica com o objetivo de permitir que através dele, quando implantado cirurgicamente, a equipe médica possa administrar medicamentos diretamente no sistema venoso central sem o uso de agulhas, proporcionando menor risco de contaminação. O dispositivo SUBMARINO oferece conforto aos pacientes por não necessitar de curativos nem de punções da pele por agulhas, portanto uma manipulação indolor com menos desconforto. Pode permanecer em repouso sem que seja manipulado por longos períodos de tempo, possibilitando atividade normal por parte do paciente quando fora do ambiente hospitalar. A patente de invenção compreende um dispositivo (em modelo duplo ou único) confeccionado internamente em material rígido, podendo ser metálico, forrado por uma capa de borracha de silicone. Tem o formato descritivo de uma base de reservatório (TAMBOR) a ser posicionada no subcutâneo, com uma estrutura tubular (TORRE) emergindo da sua parte superior e se exteriorizando através da pele. O TAMBOR apresenta na sua base um tubo rígido a ser conectado a um cateter posicionado dentro do sistema venoso, por onde sai o medicamento que é administrado através da parte superior da TORRE quando manuseado pela equipe médica. O SUBMARINO é implantado geralmente na parede anterior do tórax, podendo, entretanto, ser posicionado em outro local. As vantagens são: 1) Permitir o manuseio pela equipe médica sem o uso de agulhas, 2) Dar mais conforto ao paciente por não necessitar de curativo constante e 3) Possibilitar novas opções técnicas de implante aos cirurgiões.

Title: A patrol logging system
Inventor: UNWIN GEORGE ROY
IPC: G07C1/10
Filed: 2012-06-26
Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of patrol logging units 103, wherein each patrol logging unit is assigned a unique identification and comprises an output, such as a display, 202 and processing circuitry 201 including a controller 203, an internal local clock 204 and a code generator 205. The controller is operable to generate a code to be output in response to being activated; the code being based on time information provided by the clock and the unique identification of each patrol logging unit. The internal local clock of each patrol logging unit is autonomously independent and so is unpredictable from the time information of other internal local clocks of other patrol logging units. The code given by the logging unit can be transmitted to a central station 101 via a mobile telephone 102 of a security guard patrolling the site. The central station can obtain the unique identifier and the time from the code, as well as identification of the user from a mobile telephone number, and so record that a certain guard was at a certain location at a certain time. The invention provides a system and method for checking the patrol of a guard.

Title: Using linguistically-aware variables in computer-generated text
Inventor: HARRIS PETER J
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2011-03-21
Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for placing linguistically- aware variables in computer-generated text. During operation, the system receives a sentence at a computer system, wherein the sentence comprises two or more words. Next, the system analyzes the sentence to identify a first variable, wherein the first variable is a place-holder for a first word. The system then receives the first word. After that, the system automatically determines a gender of the first word. Next, the system analyzes the sentence to identify a first dependent word that is dependent on the first word, wherein a spelling of the first dependent word is dependent on the gender of the first word. The system then determines the spelling of the first dependent word that corresponds to the gender of the first word. Next, the system replaces the first variable in the sentence with the first word. If necessary, the system modifies the spelling of the first dependent word in the sentence to match the gender of the first word. Finally, the system outputs the sentence.
