Granted: 2006-01-24
Abstract: The present invention addresses the technical problem of supplying oxygen-enriched air at low pressures with sufficient flexibility to allow a patient to be moved from one location to another. The gist of the solution is to provide low pressure oxygen-enriched air for use by a patient as well as high pressure oxygen-enriched air for filling a pressure cylinder. To that end, an apparatus is set forth for providing oxygen-enriched air at a first pressure and at a second pressure, the second pressure being greater than the first pressure. The apparatus comprises, in combination, a pressure swing adsorption system and a pressure intensifier.  The pressure swing adsorption system for enriching the oxygen content of air has a pressure of at least the first pressure. The pressure swing adsorption system is adapted to provide oxygen-enriched air to a first outlet at the first pressure and to provide oxygen-enriched air to a pressure intensifier at the first pressure. The pressure intensifier pressurizes the oxygen-enriched air and provides the oxygen-enriched air to a second outlet at the second pressure.

Title: Method of an apparatus for virtual link management
Inventor: FISHER DAVID ANTHONY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1998-09-17
Granted: 2003-05-20
Abstract: Novel traffic management schemes of a telecommunications network using the concept of virtual links is disclosed. As an example, if a switch connects via a high bandwidth link to an access mux that drives lower bandwidth links. The mux is a potential congestion point in the downstream direction (from high to low bandwidth links) because traffic can arrive at a greater rate over the high bandwidth link than it can exit through the lower bandwidth link. If all of the traffic destined for a particular low bandwidth link can be organized into a unique virtual link. This virtual link can be scheduled at a maximum rate not exceeding the bandwidth of the low bandwidth link, thus preventing the mux from ever becoming a congestion point. Therefore, the amount of mux buffering can be reduced to a very small amount (for jitter absorption). One advantage of this scheme in this example is potentially large cost reductions in the high volume access mux at the lesser expense of a more complex low volume switch.

Granted: 2002-02-26
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for the production of three-dimensional images utilizing a multi-lens camera and a multi-lens enlarger configured according to a standard of arrangements. The number of lenses used in the camera and printer is selected to be greater than the resolution capabilities of the human eye and the lenticular print system. The width of a zone of the lineiform image is determined by the distance between two adjacent images on the focal plane of the lenticular screen (10) of a point projected from a distance at or beyond the distance limit through adjacent projecting apertures of the enlarger. The projecting (182, 186, 188) apertures of the enlarger are linearly arrayed and equally spaced within the unique accepting angle corresponding to the distance limit to construct a lineiform image without gaps between zones and without gaps between lines. Accordingly, a three-dimensional image having orthoscopic effect, and without stroboscopic effect, is produced in a one-step imaging and one-step composing process.

Abstract: This invention relates to amino acid sequences from within a consensus peptide of the formula: VEKNITVTASVDPTIDLLQADGSALPSAVALTYSPA (Seq. #1). Eight mer peptides from within the consensus peptide were tested against an antibody raised to the consensus peptide. Studies relating to antibody raised to denatured proteins from the natural organisms producing the family of proteins were also useful and showed particular value of some sequences. A sequence of the formula ASVDPTIDLLQA (Seq. #2) was identified thereby. An enlarge sequence of the formula TVTASVDPTIDLLQAD (Seq. #3) is also especially interesting as are intermediate sequences such as sequences VTASVDPTIDLLQAD (Seq. #4), TASVDPTIDLLQAD (Seq. #5), and TASVDPTIDLLQA (Seq. #6) as being binding sites for antibodies raised to the denatured proteins.

Abstract: An electric transmission line, included in a power system, transmits a power (p(t)). In a method for damp-ing of power oscillations (.DELTA.p(t)) in the transmission line, at least one first angular-frequency signal (.OMEGA., .OMEGA.1) is generated, representing a first angular frequency (.OMEGA., .OMEGA.1) which is given by a priori knowledge of oscillation fre-quencies expected in the power sys-tem , and a first phase-reference sig-nal (.theta.(t), .theta., (t)) is formed as the time integral of said angular-frequency sig-nal.    A power quantity (p(t, i(t))) in the transmission line, which is characterizing for the power (p(t)), is sensed and a first estimated power quan-tity (.DELTA.~, .DELTA.~1) is formed, represent-ing , for an oscillation of said first angular frequency, its amplitude and phase position relative to said first phase-reference signal. A first damp-ing signal (D(t), D)1(t)) is formed with an amplitude in dependence on the amplitude of said first estimated power quantity and with an eligible first phase shift (90° + .alpha., 90° + .alpha.1) in relation to the phase position thereof, and said first damping signal is sup-plied to an actuator for influencing the power transmitted in the transmission line.

Title: Optical circulators
Inventor: GUAN KEJIAN
IPC: G02B27/28
Filed: 2000-12-19
Granted: 2006-05-09
Abstract: An optical circulator having a dual fiber collimator and a single fiber collimator is described. The circulator provides a non-reciprocal functionality that directs input signals from a first fiber of the dual fiber collimator to the single fiber collimator. Input signals from the single fiber collimator are directed to a second fiber of the dual fiber collimator. The circulator includes birefringent wedges that change the angle of signals from the single fiber collimator to direct the signals to the second fiber of the dual fiber collimator. Because the circulator includes two collimators rather than three collimators, the circulator is more compact than a circulator having three collimators.
