Title: Systems and methods for therapeutically treating neuro-psychiatric disorders and other illnesses
Inventor: ZABARA JACOB
IPC: A61N1/18
Filed: 2004-12-28
Abstract: Systems and methods for treating neuro-psychiatric disorders, such as depression or schizophrenia, and/or other illnesses are disclosed. A patient is diagnosed with a particular neuro-psychiatric disorder or other illness. An electric nerve stimulation (ENS) technique, such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), is administered to the patient in conjunction with a magnetic nerve stimulation (MNS) technique. The magnetic nerve stimulation (MNS) technique includes applying a magnetic field to a pre-selected synaptic region of a brain of the patient based on the diagnosis. A physiological response of the brain, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) activity, is monitored. One or more parameters of the magnetic field may be selectively adapted in response to the monitored physiological response. The administration of the ENS technique and the MNS technique may be performed simultaneously, in serial order, or in alternating order depending on the diagnosis.

Inventor: ELEY JAMES ALLEN
IPC: F01D9/02
Filed: 2006-08-02
Abstract: An inlet guide vane provides improved, smooth airflow and avoids separation of flow even at high incidence angles. The inlet guide vane includes a strut having opposite side surfaces that are continuously curved to provide a controlled velocity distribution at the trailing edge of the strut. The inlet guide vane further includes a flap having a leading edge aligned behind the trailing edge of the strut. Generally, the strut and the flap are designed together so that low momentum air in the gap between the strut and the flap will be energized and entrained in the boundary layer of the flap. The airflow from the gap will remain attached to the flap to improve the flow from the flap.
Patent CA-2556121-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MICHELSON MANFRED G
IPC: G03B27/46
Filed: 2006-08-11
Abstract: A dual sprocket contact motion picture film printer maintains film steadiness when running a film negative in contact with an unexposed raw stock film. The perforations along both sides of the films are tensioned against sprocket teeth of a full fitting sprocket on one side and a shrinkage sprocket on the other side of the dual printing sprocket. A fluid chamber is positioned adjacent the printing sprocket on the in-feed side of the printer. The films pass through the fluid chamber before passing through the aperture of the printer. A vacuum pressure applied from one side of the chamber tensions the negative against the sprocket teeth and a positive fluid pressure applied on from an opposite side of the chamber tensions the raw stock against the sprocket. The films are self-aligned by the fluid forces maintaining equal tension on both sides of each film strip as the films pass the aperture of the film printer. The system also includes an upper gate roller to ensure that the films are fully laid down onto the sprocket teeth and against the root of the sprocket before they pass through the aperture. In another embodiment, an elongated fluid nozzle applies pressure to the overlapping film strips before they pass through the aperture to remove any fluid trapped between the films prior to exposure. In a further embodiment film tension is equalized by self-aligning rollers that contact the films before passing to the sprocket and then to the aperture.

Title: Use of polyester powder in a shaping process, and moldings produced from this polyester powder
Inventor: MONSHEIMER SYLVIA
IPC: C08G63/16
Filed: 2006-11-15
Abstract: Disclosed is a layer-by-layer process for producing a three-dimensional object in which a region of a layer of a polymer powder is selectively melted via introduction of electromagnetic energy and then cooled to harden. In a process, an aliphatic polyester powder is used which is prepared from an alcohol and from a diacid with no use of any aromatic monomer unit. The polyester powder has a high crystallinity and a low melting point. This makes the process more reliable while component quality is good, in particular with respect to mechanical properties, and also density, dimensional accuracy, and low shrinkage.

Patent CA-2577245-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LANG JURGEN
IPC: G06Q20/36
Filed: 2005-07-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for franking postal deliveries, according to which an operating unit (BE) is operated separately from a franking unit (FE).  Said method is characterised in that the operating unit transmits a transaction request (B1) to an authorisation unit (BR), the latter (BR) determines an authorisation for a user of the operating unit (BE) by means of an authorisation profile and the transmitted transaction request is authenticated by the authorisation unit (BR) according to the determined authorisation. The authorisation unit (BR) converts the authenticated transaction request (B1) into a transaction job, which is transmitted (B3) to a franking unit (FE). The transaction job is processed (B4) in the franking unit (FE) and finally the result of the execution of the transaction job is dispatched (B5) by the franking unit. The invention also relates to a device that is particularly suitable for carrying out said method.

Title: Child-resistant medicament package
Inventor: WILLIAMS TIMOTHY RICHARD JR
IPC: B65D83/04
Filed: 2005-08-18
Abstract: An individual blister pack includes an unsealed area formed along an edge, and a die cut slot is formed at an angle adjacent edges of the blister pack and communicates with the unsealed area. The die cut slot allows tearing of the corner of the blister pack, which exposes an easily accessible corner pull tab to allow an impenetrable polymeric film to be peeled away from the underlying foil such that medicament can subsequently be pushed through the foil for dispensing the medicament from the blister pack. The package, therefore, provides a tear-peel-push sequence of operation requiring the cognitive skills of an adult and yet allows an adult an easy manner by which to obtain a finger hold on the impenetrable film layer for peeling it from the blister pack.
