Title: Inflatable member for an endoscope sheath
Inventor: ONEDA KATSUMI
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for attaching and forming enclosed inflatable members on an endoscope assembly with a disposable sheath are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a flexible and resilient cuff member that is positioned on the outer surface of the disposable sheath and sealably and fixedly bonded to the sheath cover material at the cuff edges to form an annular space capable of being inflated. The inflatable member formed thereby is inflated through a lumen internal to the sheath that has an opening into the interior annular space. In another embodiment, the annular space may be divided into separate inflatable lobes. In still another embodiment, the cuff member is a flexible and resilient member that is substantially toroidal in shape that is positioned on the outer surface of the sheath. In a further embodiment, the inflatable member is formed from an excess length of sheath cover material disposed on the disposable sheath. A single reentrant fold of sheath material is formed with an edge that is sealably and fixedly bonded to the sheath cover material to form an annular space capable of inflation. In alternate embodiments, the excess length of cover material may be used to form members with dual reentrant folds that comprise inflatable members with single and dual inflatable lobes.

Title: Connection element structure for a non-textile fabric
Inventor: KING WILLIAM L
IPC: B29K105/08
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: Non-textile fabric panels (Figure 17) are either formed and joined, or joined by using plates or elements 1, 2, 51, 52 having edges with connection structures of complementary shaped and spaced knuckles 54, 55, 58 that interfit with one another. The knuckles include surfaces 57, 56, 59, that interfit and engage similar structures on adjacent elements or plates. Aligned, interfitting connection structures or knuckles can hinge along major bending axes, giving the non-textile fabric made thereby the ability to flex and bend like textile fabric or leather. Buttressing surfaces 7, 57 between connected knuckles help prevent early disengagement of interfitting surfaces when the non-textile fabric is subjected to strong tensile forces. Elements 51, 52 having the overall shape of a right isoscoles triangle in the plane of the non-textile fabric panels made according the invention can be interleaved in a post manufacturing operation to make strong and almost invisible seams between panels.

Title: Temperature-based estimation of remaining absorptive capacity of a gas absorber
Inventor: WARKANDER DAN
IPC: G01K11/00
Filed: 2002-10-12
Abstract: A method and system are provided for estimating remaining absorptive capacity of a gas absorber. Inside the gas absorber, a reaction gas is produced by an exothermic or endothermic reaction. A plurality of temperature sensors include a first temperature sensor positioned at the gas absorber's inlet and subsequent temperature sensors spaced apart along the gas's flow path therethrough. Temperature differences between each subsequent temperature sensor and the first temperature sensor are determined. Each temperature difference is normalized using the largest one of the temperature differences so that corresponding normalized temperature differences are generated. The normalized temperatures differences are indicative of the remaining absorptive capacity of the gas absorber in accordance with a selected, experimentally-determined calibration function.

Patent EP-1724939-A4 (EP)
Title: Receiver apparatus
Inventor: KANNO IPPEI
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To realize power saving of a receiver apparatus for receiving time-division multiplexed signals. 
[MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] In the receiver apparatus, power is supplied to a receiver circuit in accordance with an operation start time. A signal is received through the receiver circuit, and a quality of the received signal is evaluated by a signal quality evaluation unit 109. Control is exercised to set a late operation start time if the quality of the received signal is good, and an early operation start time if the quality of the received signal is bad. In this way, a period for supplying power to the receiver circuit can be adjusted according to the quality of the received signal. This makes it unnecessary to fix, as in conventional techniques, a long power supply period in consideration of the case where the signal quality is bad. As a result, more power saving can be achieved.
