Abstract: A fluid collection or infusion set is provided. The set includes flexible tubing with a fitting attached to a proximal end and a needle assembly attached to the distal end. The needle assembly includes a needle hub and a needle cannula secured in the hub. An actuator arm extends proximally and outwardly from the needle hub and has an actuator button at its free end. The needle assembly is disposed in a barrel and can move from a distal position where the needle cannula is exposed to a proximal position where the needle cannula is shielded. A spring is disposed in the barrel for propelling the needle assembly to the proximal position. The barrel includes an actuating aperture that receives the actuator button for locking the spring in a compressed condition. Depression of the actuator button enables the spring to propel the needle assembly into its proximal shielded position.

Title: A method for supervised teaching of a recurrent artificial neural network
Inventor: JAEGER HERBERT
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2001-10-05
Granted: 2012-04-03
Abstract: A method for the supervised teaching of a recurrent neutral network (RNN) is disclosed. A typical embodiment of the method utilizes a large (50 units or more), randomly initialized RNN with a globally stable dynamics. During the training period, the output units of this RNN are teacher-forced to follow the desired output signal. During this period, activations from all hidden units are recorded. At the end of the teaching period, these recorded data are used as input for a method which computes new weights of those connections that feed into the output units. The method is distinguished from existing training methods for RNNs through the following characteristics: (1) Only the weights of connections to output units are changed by learning - existing methods for teaching recurrent networks adjust all network weights. (2) The internal dynamics of large networks are used as a "reservoir" of dynamical components which are not changed, but only newly combined by the learning procedure -existing methods use small networks, whose internal dynamics are themselves competely re-shaped through learning.

Granted: 2011-06-14
Abstract: The invention broadly provides a ram incorporating a thermoplastic seal for sealing in the horizontal bore of a wellhead production blowout preventer to close off the vertical bore of the well, the ram being adapted to seal at its front end against either a polish rod of a rod string, or against an adjacent ram. The invention also extends to a BOP including a pair of such rams, wherein, each ram includes (a) a body component with front and rear portions and ends, (b) a seal component with front and rear portions and ends, (c) the body component having an arcuate longitudinal outer surface for conforming with the horizontal bore surface, and having a cut-out in its front portion Which provides a seal support surface to support the seal component in both a vertical and horizontal direction, (d) the seal component having an arcuate longitudinal outer surface for conforming with the horizontal bore surface, and an inner surface which generally conforms to the seal support surface of the body component, the body component and seal components combining, in an assembled form, to form a full bore ram body, which when out of sealing engagement has the front end of the seal component protruding a horizontal distance d beyond the front end of the body component, (e) connectors for connecting the seal and body components while allowing the seal component, during sealing engagement, to be pressed against the seal support surface of the body component, and (f) the seal component providing a sealing surface formed of thermoplastic material around the arcuate outer surface for sealing against the horizontal bore. Thus, as the body component is advanced forwardly into a sealing engagement causing the front end of the seal component to contact either the adjacent ram or the polish rod to seal off the vertical bore, the seal component is pressed against the seal support surface of the body component such that the thermoplastic sealing surface is compressed outwardly to seal against the horizontal bore.

Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for validating agreement between textual and spoken representations of words. A voice input verification process monitors a conversation between an agent and a caller to validate the textual entry of the caller's spoken responses or the agent's spoken delivery of a textual script (or both). The audio stream corresponding to the conversation between the agent and the caller is recorded and the textual information that is entered into the workstation by the agent is evaluated. Speech recognition technology is applied to the recent audio stream, to determine if the words that have been entered by the agent can be found in the recent audio stream. The grammar employed by the speech recognizer can be based, for example, on properties of the spoken words or the type of field being populated by the agent. If there is a discrepancy between what was entered by the agent and what was recently spoken by the caller, the agent can be alerted and the error can optionally be corrected.
