Title: System and method for surveillance of animals
Inventor: GRONVOLD ALEXANDER
IPC: A01K11/00
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: A system for predator protection and health monitoring of animals. A collar (100) is fastened around the neck of a first animal (A). The collar compromises an electronic unit (200), a communication unit (220) for activation and reception of signals from a passive prone (300) implanted in the animal's body, means (250) for two-way communication with a peripheral unit (400), a GPS unit (260) for communication with a peripheral GPS unit (265), means for registering audible signals, and means for transmitting selected audible signals. The probe (300) registers one or more of any physiological parameter in the animal and communicates these parameters to said communication unit (220). An alarm is given if one physiological parameter differs from predefined values. The alarm may be a pre-programmed audible signal in the electronic unit which is delivered with the aid of a loudspeaker (230) installed in the collar (100), and/or an electronic signal that is transmitted to the peripheral communication unit (400). The electronic alarm signal in the peripheral unit (400) can be given in the form of an audible signal, a text message or a combination thereof. In an alternative embodiment, the collar may comprise a unit (700) for communication with a further communication and control unit (710) in a second collar fastened on a second animal (B). In another embodiment, the collar may be a unit that is permanently mounted on a structure in the immediate vicinity of animals that are kept in cages, stalls or pens. The system can be used for selective monitoring of the health status of a plurality of animals and for selective protection of a plurality of animals against extenal dangers such as predators. The system can be used for the monitoring and surveillance of any animal, including human beings.

Abstract: When a head rest of a seat of a transport system is adjusted to a head of a belted passenger, its height-adjustable shoulder-belt deflector, loosely guiding a shoulder belt portion of a seat-belt, adapts itself to his body proportion. As a result, the shoulder belt portion downwardly extends over his shoulder and his upper body-part and the shoulder-belt deflector prevents neck-strangulation, intercepts and holds a released main latch plate, which is easily accessed by passenger, taking seat and wanting to use the seat-belt. A space-saving shoulder-belt deflector can be installed in any free region of the seat backrest of an head-rest integrated seat of, for example, Volvo, Porsche or Ferrari. A height-adjustable head rest can be equipped with a single, stiff shoulder-belt deflector, which, movable in an opening of the seat-backrest frame, guided thereby and locked therein, is nonrotating about a longitudinal axis of thereof.

Inventor: MANOUKIAN MOURAD
IPC: G01N27/49
Filed: 2003-11-17
Abstract: A miniaturized gas sensor comprised of thick- or thin-film type electrodes, on a non-conductive supportive substrate, and in contact with a solid ionomer electrolyte, for the detection of toxic gases, i.e., carbon monoxide, and other oxidizable or reducible gases and vapors is described. The all-solid planar sensor cell has two or more film type electrodes arranged on a non-conductive planar surface of a supportive substrate. The electrodes are discrete and in intimate contact with the same solid polymer ionomer membrane. The sensor cell contains no liquid electrolyte and is operated in a constant-voltage, potentiostatic or potentiodynamic mode. A high sensitivity to a select gas or vapor is achieved by a novel three-phase contact area design for a sensing electrode which provides contact with the solid ionomer electrolyte, as well as the gas sample via diffusion openings or holes that penetrate through the supportive substrate.

Title: Sampling devices and methods utilizing a horizontal capillary test strip
Inventor: MUNSON IAN
IPC: A61B5/1473
Filed: 2002-06-07
Abstract: Systems and methods for the sampling of bodily fluid from an incision in the skin include test strips which are positioned adjacent to the skin and which include features to inhibit the passage of the bodily fluid between the skin and the underside of the test strip. One system utilizes a sealing member (3 4) located on the bottom surface (15) of the test strip (10) and positioned to provide a fluid tight seal with the skin. A second system includes a recesse d surface (62) aligned with the inlet opening (59) of the test strip (50) to preclude contact of the bodily fluid directly with the bottom surface (55) o f the test strip (50). A third system involves the use of a hydrophobic surfac e (55) on the underside of the test strip (50) to inhibit wicking of the bodil y fluid along the test strip. The present invention further encompasses the combination of the foregoing sampling systems with each other, and with incising, expressing and/or testing systems and methods, particularly in a single, integrated device.

Title: System and method for intake of a patient in a hospital emergency room
Inventor: PRISTINE GORSEV
IPC: G06Q10/04
Filed: 2003-12-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel system and method for intake of medical patients to emergency rooms at hospitals. An embodiment of the invention includes a kiosk with an audio assisted touch screen that presents a number of intake questions to a patient in their preferred language to automate the repetitive component of the interviews. In response to the questions, the kiosk generates an intake report for presentation to a health care worker such as a doctor or a nurse to create a jump-start for the live interview. In this manner, waiting times at hospital emergency rooms can be used to initiate the patient care, even before they see the health care staff, safely since the application can also streamline the waiting room population and save time for all involved parties including the patients, nurses, the physicians and the health care facility. The application has desktop and web versions. The interview is customizable at every level for the questions, flow and language. The suggested consistent and methodical screening for all system/organs and documentation of the interview's findings helps to reduce physician errors and provides a malpractice shield.

Title: Soybean meal with a reduced fat and soluble sugar content, and methods of making and using the same
Inventor: OLIVEIRA MIGUEL ANGELO F
IPC: A23L11/30
Filed: 2001-08-22
Abstract: High protein, low soluble-sugar, oil containing soybean meal suitable for use as a partial or full replacement of fish meal and other protein and energy sources in the manufacture of fish and land animal feeds and petfoods, is produced by a process in which oil is mechanically extracted from dehulled, flaked soybeans. Soluble sugars are then extracted from the defatted soybean cake using an ethanol/water mixture in a counter-current solvent extraction process. The resulting meal contains a minimum of about 8 percent by weight residual soybean oil, and it is dried, cooled and ground to produce a fine, free-flowing powder product. The process also produces a sugar syrup suitable for use as a fermentation source for the production of ethanol, and a premium soybean oil. This syrup is also suitable to be used as a taste enhancer for animal feed (typically added to the soybean meal).
