Patent EP-1308350-A2 (EP)
Inventor: THOMPSON GREGORY T
IPC: G01N27/02
Filed: 2002-10-03
Abstract: A passenger detection system is provided. The passenger detection system
utilizes an oscillation circuit that causes an antenna electrode to emit an electric
field that is disrupted by the electrical characteristics of an object placed on the
seat. This disruption alters the current and phase of the signal in the antenna
electrode. By comparing the current flowing in the antenna electrode and/or the
difference between the phase of the signal in the antenna electrode and the
oscillation circuit output signal with predetermined threshold values, it is possible
to detect the presence of a passenger in a reliable and inexpensive manner.
Environmental sensors are used to make the determination more accurate.
Humidity, moisture and/or grounding condition are detected and used to alter
processing, values or calculations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (10, 110, 210) are provided for injecting medicine from a pre-filled container (70, 190, 270) into a patient through an injection needle (39, 112, 239). After use the needle (39, 112, 239) is automatically shielded so that the contaminated needle is protected to prevent inadvertent contact with the needle. The device operates by pumping medicine out of the vial (70, 190, 270) into a transfer chamber (60, 155, 260). The medicine is the expelled from the transfer chamber (60, 155, 260) into the patient during an injection stroke. At the end of the injection stroke, the needle (39, 112, 239) is released for retraction, and a spring (37, 126, 237) then retracts the needle to shield the needle. Preferably, the device includes an injector assembly (15, 115, 215) and a vial holder assembly (40, 150, 240). The injector assembly (15, 115, 215) has a needle retainer (30, 120, 230) for releasably retaining the needle in a projecting position against the bias of the spring (37, 126, 237). The vial holder assembly (40, 150, 240) is attachable with the injector assembly (15, 115, 215) and is operable to transfer the medicine out of the vial (70, 190, 270) and into the transfer chamber (60, 155, 260) to prepare the device for an injection.

Abstract: A sound reproduction system comprises a left and right speakers located in close proximity, and a sound processor which provides audio signals to the pair of speakers. The sound processor preferably derives a cancellation signal from the difference between the left and right channels. The resulting difference signal is scaled, delayed (if necessary), and spectrally modified before being added to the left channel and, in opposite polarity, to the right channel. The spectral modification to the difference channel preferably takes the form of a low-frequency boost over a specified frequency range, in order to restore the correct timbral balance after the differencing process. Additional phase-compensating all-pass networks may be inserted in the difference channel to correct for any extra phase shift contributed by the spectral modifying circuit. The technique may be used in a surround sound system or an automobile sound system. In an automobile, the pair of speakers may be placed together in a common enclosure having a narrow slot near the base of the cone of the speakers. The speaker may be oriented perpendicularly with respect to the dashboard such that the sound emanates from the slot in the enclosure.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une huile de base lubrifiante destinée aux mélanges de réfrigérants hydrofluorocarbures et facultativement hydrochlorofluorocarbures. Cette huile de base contient un mélange constitué de: (A) au moins un alkylbenzène; et (B) au moins un polyol ester. Comme les alkylbenzènes ne sont pas miscibles au mélange de réfrigérants à la température de fonctionnement et à la pression désirées des systèmes de réfrigération ou de conditionnement d'air, l'ajout d'une faible concentration de polyol ester améliore de manière significative la miscibilité du mélange d'alkylbenzène et de polyol ester. Un aspect important de l'invention réside dans le fait que le mélange lubrifiant d'alkylbenzène et de polyol ester est suffisamment miscible au mélange de réfrigérants hydrofluorocarbures, sous forme gazeuse comme sous forme liquide, aux températures de fonctionnement du système de réfrigération par compression.

Abstract: An  in vitro  culture system for the perpetuation of an unlimited number of neural progenitor
cells. Progenitor cells are isolated from particular neural regions and proliferated in
suspension cultures in the presence of growth factors. The progenitor cells can be induced to
differentiate into neurons and glial cells. The ability to perpetuate fetal progenitor cells allows
for production of a large supply of tissue from a minimal number of fetuses for
transplantation into an animal with neurodegeneration. The use of juvenile and adult cells for
generating progenitors would eliminate the need to obtain fetal tissue and may allow for
patient to supply his own progenitors. Such an approach would eliminate the ethical problem
of obtaining fetal neuronal tissue as well as the problem of tissue rejection and the required
use of immunosuppressive drugs.
