Title: Method of scaling navigation signals to account for impedance drift in tissue
Inventor: HAUCK JOHN A
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 2006-09-12
Granted: 2012-11-01
Abstract: A method for scaling the impedance measured during the course of an electrophysiology study accounts for impedance drifts.

Title: Windage braking
Inventor: MORIARTY NICHOLAS
IPC: A62B1/12
Filed: 2007-03-20
Granted: 2012-04-26
Abstract: A windage brake for a fan descender comprises a rotatable spool (10) connected by drive belts (32) to a fan (16) comprising a radial flow air impeller. A line (24) is wound helically upon the spool (10). A user of the fan descender puts on a harness (not shown) at the free end (24a) of the line (24) and jumps from an elevated position. The line (24) is thereby drawn off the spool (10) and rotates it. The rotating spool (10) drives the fan (16) and also winds a power spring formed by a resilient strip (44). The windage of the fan (16) regulates the descent of the jumper, the fan (16) being accelerated to a speed at which the braking force is such that the jumper descends at a rate safe for landing on the ground. When the jumper is on the ground, he removes the harness and releases the free end (24a) of the line (24). The line (24) is then automatically retrieved by the power spring and rewound on the spool (10).

Granted: 2014-02-27
Abstract: A blind operating device in which rotation in both directions applied from an operation section is transmitted to a drive shaft of a blind. The diameter of the wire of a clutch spring is reduced without causing breakage of the spring and, as a result, an operation load is reduced. The operation device has an input shaft (30) into which rotation of a pulley (20) is inputted and also has a rotation shaft (32) coaxial with the input shaft (30) and capable of transmitting rotation to the drive shaft. The clutch spring (34) is wrapped around both a stationary spring-wrapping shaft (14b) of a case (14) and a rotational spring-wrapping shaft (32c) of the rotation shaft (32). The connection and disconnection between the rotation shaft (32) and the case (14) can be switched between each other by utilizing tightening and loosening of the clutch spring (34). One end of the clutch spring (34) is connected to the rotation shaft (32). When rotation in one direction is inputted in the input shaft (30), out of the entire portion of the clutch spring (34) wrapped around the stationary spring-wrapping shaft (14b), that portion of the clutch spring (34) which is on the rotational spring-wrapping shaft (32c) side loosens first. As a result, the rotation shaft (32) becomes rotatable together with the input shaft (30).
