Abstract: The invention provides a hybrid inflator which is made
more compact and lighter. An excessive internal pressure
increase at a time of activation is prevented by setting a molar
ratio (A/B) between a pressurized medium (A moles) charged in
a housing 102 and an amount of a gas (B moles) generated due
to combustion of a gas generating agent 122 to 8/2 to 1/9.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a circuit for performing volume expansion on an audio signal. The circuit includes an amplifier that has an input side and an output side. Further, the amplifier amplifies the audio signal at a first amplification to produce an amplified signal at the output side of the amplifier. The circuit also includes a shunting element coupled across the input side and output side of the amplifier. The shunting element includes a variable impedance device for changing the first amplification of the amplifier to a second amplification if the amplified signal reaches a predetermined threshold.
Patent EP-1214019-A1 (EP)
Title: Radioactive graft or cuff
Inventor: EDWIN TARUN J
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: Radioactive grafts or cuffs are made by incorporating radioactive elements into a pliable material such as ePTFE. The radioactive grafts or cuffs are placed into the body to prevent the proliferation of malignant cells. For example, a graft or cuff may be used in an occluded lumen after it has been opened to prevent subsequent restenosis. While the grafts are used primarily for implantation inside a body lumen, the cuffs can be used in a variety of locations including being wrapped around the outside of an affected vessel. Some embodiments of the present invention incorporate radioactive seeds into ePTFE grafts. The radioisotopes comprising the seeds are chosen according to their radioactive properties and are mixed with the PTFE prior to extrusion. Following extrusion, the PTFE is expanded and sintered to yield a final product.

Abstract: Global positioning systems (GPSs) estimate positions of vehicles based on signals from earth-orbiting satellite transmitters. For accuracy and reliability reasons, these systems have traditionally not be used for critical phases of aircraft navigation and guidance, such as aircraft landings. However, recent years have seen the development of ground-augmented GPS systems for use in automatic landing systems. These augmented systems rely on broadcast correction data to correct positions estimates, or solutions, and thus provide more accurate position solutions. Unfortunately, the conventional methods of measuring accuracy in these augmented systems cannot adequately cope with loss of correction data or satellite signals and thus lead to more aborted landings than acceptable. Accordingly, the inventor devised a ground-augmented GPS system that incorporates a better method for determining the accuracy of its position solution. One exemplary embodiment determines a main position solution and one or more position subsolutions, with the main solution using all broadcast correction data and each subsolution using a respective subset of the correction data. Differences or separations between the main position solution and the subsolution are then used to determine accuracy, or protection, limits for the main position solution. Another embodiment uses Kalman filters to incorporate vehicle motion data into the calculation of the main solution and the subsolutions, enabling the determination of protection limits during periods lost GPS or correction data.
