Inventor: RING DENNIS J
IPC: G16H70/40
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for anticipating potential Adverse Drug Events (ADE) in a patient's medication regimen by integrating data typically located in laboratory and pharmacy information systems and filtering the data using predefined criteria. The present invention includes a system for anticipating a possible ADE through the use of a search engine that compares integrated data from laboratory and pharmacy information systems and compares it to predefined ADE rules defining normal ranges for a particular laboratory test. If an abnormal test value is received and a drug in the patient's medication regimen satisfies a drug included in an ADE rule then an alert procedure is triggered which allows for a period of time wherein the patient's lab and pharmacy data is monitored in order to determine if a proper corrective action is undertaken, and if no corrective action or an improper corrective action is taken within that period of time, the healthcare provider is warned of a potential ADE.

Title: Wayside wheel lubricator
Inventor: KUMAR SUDHIR
IPC: B61K3/00
Filed: 2001-05-21
Abstract: A wayside lubricator for railroad cars has a number of sensors (9, 10, 11) mounted adjacent the track which detect the approach and passage of rail car s. A lubricant supply and a pressurizing system are mounted adjacent the track and in fluid communication with a control valve and spray nozzle (12). The spray nozzle (12) is aimed to shoot lubricant into a target zone when the control valve is opened. The spray nozzle (12) is turned on for a defined duration of time so that the quantity of the lubricant is kept under control . Application of the lubricant to the wheels of the locomotive is avoided by detecting locomotive wheels and leaving the valve closed until they pass. Th is invention reduces the friction between the wheel tread and rail on curves fo r the trailing cars and thus reduces the friction and the force that is experienced by the wheel flanges on curves.

Title: Primary rod and piston seal
Inventor: TIMMERMANN HANS-JURGEN
IPC: F16J15/3208
Filed: 2002-04-08
Abstract: A rod or primary piston seal with a primary seal facing the space to be sealed and a secondary seal directed away therefrom has the primary seal fitted into a groove of a mounting element, which groove is open towards the relatively movable machine part and is defined at a side distal from the space to be sealed by a first lateral surface extending substantially perpendicularly to the seal axis, and the primary seal includes a sealing lip ring of tenacious plastic having a sealing lip engaging the machine part and being forced against the machine part by a profiled ring of elastomeric material, which profiled ring is supported on the base of the groove and engages the sealing lip ring with its inner surface, whereby the sealing lip ring has an essentially rectangular profile between the sealing lip and the end surface facing the distal side surface, the surface defining the sealing lip on the side facing away from the pressure encloses a maximum angle of 8° with the sealing axis in the relaxed condition of the seal, and the sealing lip ring is penetrated by at least one relief opening which is positioned between the high pressure side sealing lip and the outer surface of the sealing lip ring and opens in the low pressure side end surface. Such a seal has a wide field of use, can be used independent of the construction of the secondary seal, can be easily manufactured and is effective at the lowest pressure differentials. If a reversal of the pressure condition occurs, the mouth of the relief opening is uncovered and the liquid can flow back in opposite direction for equalization of the pressure.

Title: Variable flow impeller-type water pump with movable shroud
Inventor: PASCOE DAVID MARK
IPC: F04D15/00
Filed: 2002-05-10
Abstract: A variable-capacity water pump includes a housing having an impeller mounted on a rotatable shaft. The pump impeller has a plurality of vanes fixed to a flange. A circumferentially surrounding shroud is axially movable within the housing and may move between extended and retracted positions to surround or expose the vanes and therefore control the effective working capacity of the pump. At low engine speeds, the vanes are fully extended and the maximum amount of kinetic energy is transferred to the coolant. When the rotational speed increases above a certain pre-determined level, the shroud is pushed upwards towards the inlet opening and a portion of the vanes becomes covered. The capacity of the pump decreases and the power required to drive the pump also decreases. Both passive and active control means for the shroud are disclosed.
Patent CA-2387415-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LASKOWSKI EDWARD L
IPC: G07D7/06
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing an indication of a type of note passing through the apparatus includes a note transport (12) which moves the note past transversely spaced spot sensing assemblies (18). Each spot sensing assembly includes four emitters (32). Each of the emitters produces radiation at a different wavelength. The spot sensing assemblies include a reflectance detector (20) and a transmission detector (22) which are disposed on opposed sides of the passing note. The emitters direct radiation onto test spots (34) on the passing note. The emitters in each assembly are activated individually and repeatedly in a sequence. Radiation reflected from each type of emitter to the reflectance detector at each test spot causes a control circuit (24) to generate reflectance values. Radiation transmitted from each emitter through each test spot to the transmission detector causes the control circuit to generate transmission values. The control circuit produces a sensed value set including the reflectance and transmission values from each of the emitters in each of the spot sensing assemblies. The control circuit also determines an angle of skew of the passing note. The control circuit is in connection with a data store which includes memories (138). Each of the memories includes data representative of templates of values corresponding to transmission and reflectance values for known note types in a number of note positions. The control circuit generates stored value sets from the templates and skew angle. The control circuit further calculates a value representative of a level of correlation between the sensed value set and each of the stored value sets. The control circuit determines the highest level of correlation between all the stored value sets which is indicative of the note type.

Abstract: A method and control apparatus for an internal combustion engine that allows an operator to calibrate engine performance relative to an engine operating characteristic. The control apparatus comprises a base engine control map that correlates values of the characteristic with values of a base engine control, a trim control map that correlates the values of the characteristic with values of a trim control, an engine control unit that obtains from the base engine control and trim control maps the respective base engine control and trim control values that are based on the characteristic value, and a panel that is operatively coupled with the engine control unit and includes a first switch regulating a trim signal supplied to the engine control unit. The trim control map is separated from the base control map. The engine control unit calculates an engine operating control value based on the obtained values. The calculated engine operating control value is supplied to the internal combustion engine to vary the engine performance. The first switch is adapted to be manipulated by the operator. And the trim signal causes the engine control unit to modify the trim control values in the trim control map.
