Title: Full-wave rectifier
Inventor: GHARPUREY RANJIT
IPC: H02M7/219
Filed: 2001-11-14
Granted: 2010-01-20
Abstract: A full-wave rectifier circuit (500) includes an cross-coupled differential pair circuit (501) coupled to a bias circuit (510). At least one constant current source (512, 514) couples to the base of each transistor (506, 508) in the cross-coupled pair circuit (501). A differential pair of transistors (502, 504) drive the cross-coupled pair circuit (501). These cross-coupled devices (506, 508) are used as positive feedback to increase gain for small amplitude signals and to degenerate the devices (502, 504) of the full-wave rectifier. Using this design very precise rectification can be achieved even for θi < VT. Specifically, the bias circuit (510) includes a current source which supplies  alpha  multiplied by the current supplied by the current source (512, 514) connected to the base of the transistors (506, 508) in the cross-coupled pair circuit (501). By choosing an appropriate value of  alpha , a unity magnitude slope close to the origin is achieved. <IMAGE>

Title: Ostomy pouch with intervening membrane and superabsorbent
Inventor: FERREIRA ADOLFO A
IPC: A61F5/445
Filed: 1997-04-25
Granted: 2004-09-01
Abstract: The pouch is formed of first and second thin barrier film walls welded along the periphery to form a waste receptical. One wall has an inlet defined by an attachment ring. The ring mounts the pouch on an adhesive faceplate adapted to adhere to the skin surrounding the stoma. A membrane, formed of material which is gas permeable but transmits little moisture and no liquid, is situated between the walls to separate the receptical into an inlet chamber, where solids, liquid and most moisture are retained, and an outlet chamber into which gas and a small amount of vapor passes. A filter is provided to permit the gas to exit the outlet chamber. A first section of superabsorbent material isolates the filter from the outlet chamber. By absorbing any moisture in the gas before it contacts the filter, blockage of the filter is prevented. A second section of superabsorbant material is provided near the bottom of the output chamber to absorb moisture which otherwise may cause the membrane to stick to the pouch wall, resulting in a substantial reduction of the gas transmissibility of the membrane.

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. The determination is made with a two layer electrode arrangement, including smaller and larger electrodes. The two layers allow calculation of an amount of compression on the seat. The amount of compression is used to characterize the passenger.
