IPC: E03C1/05
Filed: 2005-01-11
Abstract: A hands-free faucet comprises a proximity sensor, a logical control, a handle including a first touch control, a second touch control, and a mode indicator. The logical control has a manual mode (wherein the proximity sensor is inactive, and water flow is toggled on and off by positioning the handle) and a hands-free mode (wherein water flow is toggled on and off in response to the proximity sensor). The first touch control puts the faucet in the hands-free mode when touched by a user. The second touch control toggles the logical control between the hands-free mode and the manual mode when touched by a user. The mode indicator indicates which mode the faucet is presently in. The water flow has a temperature and a flow rate that are determined by the position of the handle.

Patent CA-2516442-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AGRAWAL RAJEEV
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-02-12
Abstract: A communication system (200) that includes multiple nodes (202, 210) controls a flow of data from a first node (202) to a second node (210) without relying on an estimate of a rate at which data is drawn from a buffer (216) of the second node and such that an overflow and an underflow of the buffer is avoided. The second node determines multiple flow control parameters, including a current occupancy (Q) of the buffer and an upper threshold (U) and a lower threshold (L) for an occupancy of the buffer and determines a desired data rate (r) based on the multiple flow control parameters. The desired data rate can be used to adjust a data rate for the flow of data. In another embodiment, the communication system further dynamically controls a rate at which flow control messages are conveyed by the second node to the first node.

Abstract: Determining termination of an identified tachyarrhythmia episode may involve analysis of a relative decrease in tachyarrhythmia rate, a normalization of electrogram morphology criteria, or both. An implanted medical device may obtain a tachyarrhythmia rate and a morphology of a cardiac waveform. The device may compare the tachyarrhythmia rate to a threshold tachyarrhythmia rate and the morphology to a template morphology, and classify the heart beat as indicating termination of the tachyarrhythmia episode when the tachyarrhythmia rate is less than the threshold tachyarrhythmia rate, the morphology categorizes as normal, or both. For arrhythmias with no therapy delivered, observation of arrhythmia behavior at the point of termination may lead to improved classification. In addition, observation of a relative decrease in tachyarrhythmia rate immediately after therapy application can lead to application of slower but more specific criteria for redetection.  Also, delivery of cardioversion shocks can be aborted upon tachyarrhythmia termination.
