Patent EP-0320749-A2 (EP)
Inventor: TURCOTTE II WILLIAM E
IPC: G16H40/63
Filed: 1988-12-06
Abstract: An interactive medical test selector for use by a patient is about the size of a book and has a screen for displaying questions to a patient, a limited number of keys by which the patient can enter answers, and a memory device for storing the patient's answers. The test selector is battery-­powered for portability and uses a low-power liquid crystal display or the like to display instructions and medical questions to the patient. Only four keys are seen or used by the patient for answering the questions: YES, NO, NOT SURE, and NEXT QUESTION. Additional control keys used by the medical staff are hidden from the patient. The device is controlled by a pre-programmed microcomputer on a chip, and a ROM-based, removeable and replaceable control program which not only collects, but also analyzes the patient's answers and makes appropriate recommendations based on those answers, and drives a remote printer or computer terminal.

Abstract: An adaptive control system for an internal combustion engine 24 has a selector 61 which selects in turn each cylinder or different combinations of cylinders for optimising performance. A perturbation generator 50 perturbs an engine control parameter, such as ignition timing, for the selected cylinder or combination in accordance with a first operational mode for an upper engine speed range and a second mode for a lower range. Means 51 - 55 measure the slope of engine output with respect to the perturbed control parameter in a first mode for the upper engine speed range and in a second mode for the lower range. The measured slope issued by means 37, 45 - 47, 57 - 61 to correct the engine control parameter. Memories 45 a  - 45 d  corresponding to each cylinder combination are updated with the respective correction value.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a helmet mounted display with a cathode ray tube for mounting on the torso of the operator are disclosed. A disconnectable cable supplies an information bearing signal to a signal conditioning circuit for mounting on the torso of the operator and a low voltage signal to a high voltage supply also for mounting on the torso of the operator. The high voltage supply provides the necessary high voltage for the operation of the cathode ray tube. The signal conditioning circuit provides the horizontal and vertical deflection signals and a decoded and amplified information bearing signal to the cathode ray tube. The cathode ray tube converts the information bearing signal into CRT images. A reducer, adjacent to and facing the cathode ray tube display face, reduces these CRT images and presents them to an optical fiber bundle which in turn presents the reduced CRT images to an expander. The expander then enlarges the reduced CRT images into enlarged CRT images and presents the enlarged CRT images to the display optics in the helmet.

Abstract: A cartridge assembly for dispensing flowable masses includes axially extending containers each holding a separate flowable mass and a discharge member for dispensing the flowable masses from the containers. The discharge member and the containers are separate parts assembled into a unit. During storage and transport, the containers are closed and the discharge member is mounted on one end of the containers. When the cartridge assembly is to be used, the unit is inserted into a dispensing device. The discharge member and the containers are displaced relative to one another so that the discharge member moves against one end of the containers for forming openings. The other ends of the containers contain pistons which are pressed by the dispensing device toward the openings in the other ends of the containers forcing the flowable masses into the discharge member from which they are dispensed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mitre square gauge by means of which it is possible to mitre strips of different width without any need for angular measurement. In this case, the vertical onto the mitring plane is represented by an aligning strip which can be adjusted between two bearing surfaces, which enclose a right angle, with respect to the different widths of the strips. After the mitre cut has been produced, the two end faces of the strips lie in one plane, whereas in the case of the prior art they lie congruently in the mitring plane. Moreover, the invention relates to a mitre square gauge which permits the mitring plane to be fixed in the case of strips of identical or different width, which are to be joined at an arbitrary aperture angle. The mitre angles can be determined using the mitre square gauge without using angular functions.

Abstract: In the manufacture of the drill images of electric printed circuit boards, the latter are firstly stacked for the purpose of forming a drill unit which is pinned, for the purpose of centring, to a drilling machine serving for producing the drill image. For simplifying the manufacturing operation, in particular for avoiding the use of pinned drill units, a supporting table having a clamping device (1) is proposed, which clamping device (1) consists on the one hand of claws (5), arranged so as to be vertically displaceable in relation to the supporting table and in the plane of the latter, and of stop claws (8) which are vertically displaceable in relation to the supporting table but are fixed in its plane, the former claws (5) and the stop claws (8) being arranged along at least one line following the contour of a drill unit in the plane of the supporting table. The system of movable claws (5) and stop claws (8) guarantees precise alignment of the individual stacked material blanks of a drill unit and their non-shiftable fixing for the purpose of producing the said drill image. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An incomplete set of three dimensinal magnetic resonance data (F(k₁, k₂, k₃) is collected and stored in acquired data memory (60). The incomplete data set is complete with respect to first and second directions and incomplete with respect to a third direction. However, the acquired data set has data along the third direction between ±n central values and half the remaining values. One dimensional inverse Fourier transforms (64, 66) are performed with respect to the first and second directions to create an intermediate data set (68). A phase correction array or plurality of phase correction vectors p( r ) are generated from the intermediate data and stored in a phase correction memory (82). A symmetric data set (100) is created as the complex conjugate of the intermediate data set. The intermediate and symmetric data sets are one dimensionally inverse Fourier transformed (92, 104) with respect to the third direction one vector at a time to produce vectors of first and second complex image arrays (f A , F S ) corrected (96, 108) with the corresponding phase correction vector, and combined (110) into a line of a resultant three dimensional image representation (112).

Abstract: The invention provides a system for discriminating between modulated backscattered signals based upon trans­mission-to-reception time delay. The system employs a carrier, phase-modulated with a modulating signal, having character­istics which provide unity output when correlated with itself with zero time shift and a substantially lower output level when correlated with itself with a significant time shift. The system works with a backscatter-modulator located a finite distance from the transmitter for receiving and modulating the backscatter of the carrier. A receiver/detector receives and detects the modulated backscattered phase-modulated signal, the detector being phase-sensitive and having as a reference signal the transmitted phase-modulating carrier signal, and having as an input signal the phase modulated backscattered carrier. The detector provides an output signal whose averaged amplitude is substantially dependent upon the degree of phase correlation between the phase of the modulation returned input signal and the reference signal. Finally, the output signal from the detector is selectively processed only when its averaged amplitude is above a threshold level. In a preferred embodiment the transmitted signal is a spread spectrum signal.
