Abstract: A full-featured data access arrangement (DAA) for connecting a modem to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) includes a bridge current loop circuit, a line in use detection circuit, an off hook relay, a loop current sense circuit, and an extension/remote event detector circuit. The off hook relay is connected in series with the current loop circuit to enable the DAA to detect external off hook and on hook events when the modem is in an on hook state. The DAA is configured to detect the off hook and subsequent on hook status of an extension telephone at a location even though the modem and a handset sharing a line connector with the modem are both in an on hook state. The DAA is also capable of detecting an off hook state of an extension telephone even though the modem is in an off hook state. In addition, the DAA can detect when a remote telephone device that initiates an incoming call is placed on hook.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the intracranial pressure in a non-invasive manner is described by using an ultrasonic Doppler device which detects the velocities of the blood flow inside the optic artery for both intracranial and extracranium optic artery portions. The eye in which the blood flow is monitored is subjected to a small pressure, sufficient to equalize the blood flow measurements of the internal and external portions of the optic artery. The pressure at which such equalization occurs is found to be an acceptable indication of the intracranial pressure. Various devices are illustrated and used to enable either an automatic or manual intracranial pressure measurement.

Abstract: Particulate material (1,2,8) suitable for use in the construction of, for example, flexible pavements used in the surfaces of roads and airfields. The first type of aggregate particles (2,8), having a coating (6,12). The aggregate particles in the first type (10,4), comprise natural gravel, clay-made aggregate of the second type (1), artificial aggregates or crushed rock aggregates wherein the coating comprises a set mixture of cement paste and water. The second type is clay-made aggregate(1) having no coating . This type of clay aggregate has been made from pre-treated dry clay which is heated to a high temperature for a specific time. The two types of aggregates are measurably rougher than the uncoated natural or crushed rock aggregates and have improved mechanical interlocking and shear resistance properties so that asphalt mixes and pavement made using the clay-made aggregates and/or the coated aggregates are more stable and less prone to rutting under traffic loads. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for capturing and reducing the mercury content of an industrial flue gas such as that produced in the combustion of a fossil fuel or solid waste adds a chelating agent such as ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) to the flue gas being scrubbed in a wet scrubber used in the industrial process. The EDTA prevents the reduction of oxidized mercury to elemental mercury, thereby increasing the mercury removal efficiency of the wet scrubber. Tests on inlet and outlet mercury concentration in an industrial flue gas were performed without and with EDTA addition. Without EDTA, mercury removal totaled 42%. With EDTA, mercury removal increased to 71%. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pump has a thrust bearing has a casing with an inlet port and a discharge port. A shaft is positioned within the pump. A thrust bearing is coupled to the shaft. A pressure alterable bearing cavity is located within the casing. The pressure alterable cavity allows the axial thrust on the shaft from the impellers to be counteracted. The thrust bearing has an annular seal coupled with respect to the casing disc is coupled to the shaft and positioned adjacent the seal. The seal and the disc have a gap therebetween. A feedback pipe couples the bearing cavity to the inlet port. As the axial thrust acting on the shaft changes, the gap between the seal and the disc also changes. The changing of the gap changes the pressure within the bearing cavity. The disc and thus the shaft are repositioned in response to the change in the bearing cavity pressure change.

Abstract: A surgical method for reducing the food intake of a patient includes the steps of dissecting the lower part of the Esophagus, applying a band to form a loop around the Esophagus, displacing an upper part of the stomach through the loop, so as to form a small pouch above said band in connection with the Esophagus, and suturing the upper part to the stomach portion situated below the band loop, thereby tunnelating said band. A device useful in performing this method includes an elongated band having a flexible substantially non-expansible outer wall and a flexible and expansible inner wall joined to the outer wall to form an expansible closed cavity. The band has a length such that, when its ends are joined to each other, it forms a loop around the Esophagus, while permitting an upper part of the stomach to be introduced through the opening of the loop. A conduit extends between the band's cavity and an injection port. By injecting fluid through the port, the inner wall in the band loop may be inwardly expanded from adjacent to the outer wall to substantially completely obstruct the loop opening. The band further has a wider portion intended to bear against the posterior side of the Esophagus.
