Title: Body pulsating method and apparatus
Inventor: HANSEN CRAIG N
IPC: A61H9/00
Filed: 2001-07-12
Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: A vest (11) for a human body (14) has an air core (36) coupled to a pulsator (12) operable to subject the vest to pulses of air which applies and releases high frequency pressure forces to the body. The pulsator (12) has tow diaphragms (89, 91) connected to an electric de motor (118) with rotary to reciprocating linear motion transmitting mechanisms (116, 117) operable to generate air pulses in an air pulsing chamber (87). The diaphragms (89, 91) also increase the pressure in a manifold chamber (88). A check valve (99) connects the manifold chamber (88) with a pulsing chamber (87) to allow pressurized air to flow from the manifold chamber (88) into the pulsing chamber (87). An air flow control valve (167) in communication with the manifold chamber (88) is used to adjust the pressure of the air in the manifolds and pulsing chambers.

Abstract: A touch system includes a touch surface and at least two cameras associated with the touch surface. The at least two cameras acquire images of the touch surface from different locations and having overlapping fields of view. A digital signal processor is associated with each camera. The digital signal processors process pixel data acquired by selected pixel subsets of the at least two digital cameras to generate pointer characteristic data when a pointer exists in the acquired images. The pointer characteristic data identifies edges of the pointer. A master digital signal processor triangulates the edge information in the pointer characteristic data to determine a bounding area that represents a pointer perimeter.

Abstract: Architecture for controlling access to a service. The architecture allows denial of regular and periodic service to all but a selected number of concurrent clients associated with a subscriber, and without any manual administration at the server of a list of specific computers. Rather than require an administered list, the system discovers which clients are active, places the active clients on an active list, and excludes all client not on the active list. The system includes one or more rules the enforcement of which provide a mechanism for ensuring that the subscriber is not adding an unlimited number of clients or rotating clients in and out of the pool to effectively maintain service on a larger number of computers to which the subscriber is entitled.

Title: Method and device for the production of purified steam
Inventor: SALMISUO MAURI
IPC: B01D1/30
Filed: 2003-08-28
Granted: 2007-11-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the production of pure steam. A falling-film evaporator is used. Of the water-steam mixture leaving the evaporator unit, part of the water is collected at the bottom of the device, and a fraction mainly consisting of steam enters a rising spiral channel for the separation of impurities. In the periphery of the spiral channel apertures are provided for separating impurity-containing droplets, which condense on a surface outside the apertures. The liquid formed is removed from the device. The water phase collected at the bottom enters a recycle line connected to the feed end of the evaporator unit. Feed water is supplied to the recycle line to compensate for pure steam consumption.

Abstract: The invention relates a method of stably and highly efficiently producing a three-dimensional molded article of a fiber-reinforced composite material having a three-dimensional shape, uniform quality, and free from wrinkles by press molding a plurality of prepregs cut out in a predetermined shape and also to a molded article.     In the production method, at least one set of a partially separated flap (31c to 33c) and a residual portion (31d to 33d) are formed for each prepreg by forming a plurality of notches or cutouts for each cut-out prepreg (31 to 33). The respective prepregs are laminating at predetermined portions of a press die (10) using the partially separated flaps (31c to 33c) of the respective prepregs as positioning parts, and the partially separated flaps (31c to 33c) of the prepregs pressed to a three-dimensional shape. Next, end edge parts of the residual portions (31d to 33d) are laid over end edge parts of the partially separated flaps (31c to 33c) and pressed to obtain a molded article of a fiber-reinforced composite material having a desired three-dimensional shape as a whole. Employment of an epoxy resin for a matrix resin composition to be used for the prepreg further improves the production efficiency.
