Title: Repeat prescription ordering system
Inventor: TARASSENKO LIONEL
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: A repeat prescription ordering system for allowing patients requiring resupply of medication or medical products to access a server using a portable communications and data processing device such as a smart phone or personal digital assistant. The server supplies to the patient a list of medication and medical products which they are authorized to order. The patient can select the products required, and the order is logged by the server and allocated to a supplier for completion of the order. The server maintains an estimate of the amount of medication or medical product held by the patient, this being based on the prescribed dosage regimen and information entered by the patient on their usage and, optionally, on checks on their own health. The patient may be alerted when the estimate indicates that their supplies are running low. The estimate is allowed to go below zero, this implying a possible departure from the prescribed medication regimen.

Inventor: AUSTEVOLL WILHELM MAGNE
IPC: B63C9/00
Filed: 2005-03-22
Abstract: A basket device (20) for scooping up or rescuing objects lying in the sea, where the basket, in connection to a landing site, such as onboard a vessel (10), can be shifted from a parked position to a scooping up position adjoining the sea surface (11), and vice versa.

Title: Implanting a substrate using an ion beam
Inventor: MURRELL ADRIAN JOHN
IPC: H01L21/265
Filed: 2005-09-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of implanting a substrate comprising scanning an ion beam relative to a substrate along a series of scan lines extending in a first direction (Fig 2), causing relative rotation between the substrate and the ion beam, scanning the ion beam along a second series of scan lines in a different direction. The implant recipe is changed during scanning in each direction such that different regions are produced during each scanning step (fig 3). The regions so formed during the two scanning steps overlap such that different parts of the substrate receive different doses according to different recipes during the implantation process. The different recipes may result in different dopant concentrations, doping depths or even different dopant species.

Title: Induction motor stopping method and control apparatus
Inventor: IURA HIDEAKI
IPC: H02P23/04
Filed: 2005-02-14
Abstract: A DC braking method for stopping an induction motor, wherein during a shift from a normal control state to a DC braking state, the torque shock caused by an abrupt change in the output current phase is suppressed below a predetermined value. The procedure of this method is as follows. During a shift from a normal control state to a DC braking state, the output voltage phase during the DC braking state is predicted by calculation based on a phase that leads by a predetermined DC braking commencement due to a given DC braking commencement frequency or a combination of a reduced rate and the given DC braking commencement frequency and based on the output voltage phase of the normal control state at the moment of shifting to the DC braking state. Then, the power converter is controlled to suppress the abrupt change in the output current phase, thereby suppressing the torque shock caused by such abrupt change below the predetermined value.

This flow velocity can be applied to phase fraction measurements, which can be obtained utilizing the same flowmeter or another separate device, to calculate the flow rates for the phases. The optical sensors may form refractometers or the detected light interactions may be a measure of the reflectance or transmittance of light into or through the fluid mixture.
