Title: Method and apparatus for patient monitoring with wireless internet connectivity
Inventor: QUY ROGER J
IPC: G16H20/30
Filed: 2000-12-16
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for a wireless health monitoring system for interactively monitoring a disease or health condition of a patient (38) by connecting an internet-enabled wireless web device ("WWD") (12) to a health monitoring device (11) which may be a medical device or other health related device such as an exercise machine. The WWD  (12) may be connected to the health monitoring device directly by a wired connection (42) to a generic input/output device port of the WWD (12) using an optional adaptor if necessary. Alternatively, the WWD (12) may be wirelessly connected (16) to the health-monitoring device, such as via an infrared or radio frequency connection, including using protocols such as Bluetooth or 802.11. The wireless connection (16) may also employ an adaptor if necessary.  The user may also input data to the WWD (12) manually, such as by a keypad, keyboard, stylus, or optionally by voice command (36). The health related data is transmitted from the WWD (12) to a server (37) using standard internet protocols. The server (37) calculates a response using a software program which may include an algorithm or artificial intelligence system, and may further provide for review by a physician or health specialist. The user may interact with the server (37). For example, the server (37) transmits a response to the WWD (12), and the user may answer the response or provide other information.

Title: Conductive headliner layers
Inventor: SHIELDS SCOTT
IPC: H02G3/00
Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: A conductive liner includes an electrically non-conductive core layer between two electrically conductive layers. At least one of the two electrically conductive layers includes conductive particles. The electrically conductive layers are capable of conducting sufficient electricity to power at least one electrical component in a vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, the conductive particles are fibers, such as carbon fibers, or the like that are preferably homogeneously dispersed within the conductive layer. The conductive fiber layers provide structural reinforcement to the liner, in addition to providing electrical conductivity. The conductive liner can further include a top and bottom scrim/adhesive layer, as well as a decorative, cover material layer. The present invention eliminates the need for a separate wiring and wire harness as in conventional liners. When the conductive layer comprises reinforcing fiber, the present invention also eliminates the need to have non-conductive reinforcing material, such as fiberglass reinforcing layers to sandwich the core layer of the liner.  A method of making the electrically conductive liner of the invention is also disclosed.

Title: Switching valve and a regenerative thermal oxidizer including the switching valve
Inventor: CASH JAMES T
IPC: F23L15/02
Filed: 2001-04-16
Abstract: Switching valve and a regenerative thermal oxidizer (10) including the switching valve (20). The valve of the present invention exhibits excellent sealing characteristics and minimizes wear. The valve (20) has a seal plate (100) that defines two chambers (25), each chamber being a flow port that leads to one of two regenerative beds of the oxidizer (10). The valve also includes a switching flow distributor (50) which provides alternate channeling of the inlet or outlet process gas to each half of the seal plate (100). The valve operates between two modes: a stationary mode and a valve movement mode. In the stationary mode, a tight gas seal is used to minimize or prevent process gas leakage. The gas seal also seals during valve movement.

Patent CA-2428945-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GENIK-SAS-BEREZOWSKY ROMAN MIC
IPC: C22B3/44
Filed: 2003-05-20
Abstract: A process is provided for selectively precipitating and removing manganese relative to magnesium from an acidic solution, preferably barren of one or more of cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc, hut containing appreciable amounts of manganese, magnesium, and aluminum. The process comprises a) adding a first alkaline reagent, for example lime and/or limestone, to neutralize the acidic solutions and to precipitate a majority of the aluminum as aluminum-containing solids, without precipitating a substantial amount of the magnesium; b) removing the precipitated aluminum-containing solids to create an aluminum-depleted solution; c) adding a second alkaline reagent, for example lime, to the aluminum-depleted solution and aerating for a sufficient retention time to preferentially precipitate a majority of the manganese as manganese-containing solids; and d) removing the precipitated manganese-containing solids. By first precipitating and removing aluminum, the process allows for selective precipitation of manganese relative to magnesium without significant co-precipitation of magnesium, thus resulting in a savings of the total amount of the first and second alkaline reagents needed to precipitate the majority of the manganese (compared to that needed without first precipitating and removing the majority of the aluminum).
