Patent EP-0856325-A2 (EP)
Inventor: RINFRET JOHN HENRY TEMPLE
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 1998-01-29
Abstract: Numerous problems exist concerning the disposal
of used needles from hypodermic syringes and the like
because of the risk they may be reused or cause
injuries by accidentally jabbing into somebody (so
called "needle stick injury"). A needle disposal
device therefore comprises a body having a recess
formed in one face thereof and a central shaft
projecting from the recess, a pair of coaxial bores
extending through the outer walls of the body into the
recess and a third coaxial bore extending through the
shaft. An annular cutting member is located on the
shaft in the recess, the cutting member having a pair
of coaxial bores extending therethrough and the
cutting member being rotatable about the shaft to
enable the bores therethrough to be aligned with the
bores in the body to form a continuous needle
receiving duct having a longitudinal axis which is
perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cutting
member. The cutting member is further rotatable to
disalign the bores and effect cutting of a needle in
the duct at the junctions of the bores in the cutting
member with the bores in the body. Container means
having an aperture are provided communicating with the
needle receiving duct for collecting cut needle parts.

Abstract: There is provided a measurement system for
measuring signals evoked in response to stimulus pulses
applied to a nerve, muscle or like physiological portion
of a patient. The measurement system is characterized
by delivering stimulus pulses at randomly generated
intervals, and enabling the sense circuitry-to track the
timing of the stimulus pulse generation so as to aid in
discriminating the evoked response pattern from
surrounding noise. Specifically, after each stimulus
pulse a delay is timed out for a time corresponding to
the expected latency between the delivered pulse and the
arrival of the evoked response at another location. The
delay signal is then used to initiate time out of a
window which controls operation of the sensing circuit
for a window duration corresponding to when the evoked
response pattern is appearing. Limiting the sensing
operation to the window duration enables tracking of the
response pattern, and minimizes power consumption. The
sensed evoked response signals are further processed to
provide control signals for adjustment of the delay and
window, thereby optimizing the sensing operation. The
measurement system is suitably part of a larger
implantable stimulus system, which includes the ability
to adjust pulse-to-pulse interval, or rate, and also
pulse output level as a function of measured evoked
response patterns. In a further embodiment, the
stimulus system involves steering of stimulus pulses to
selected nerve fibers or muscle tissue, and the
measurement system provides feedback for adjusting the
steering parameters.

Abstract: A magnetic element comprises a granular magnetic film
which has ferromagnetic fine particles dispersed in a
dielectric matrix and does not display superparamagnetism and
further possesses a finite coercive force, and a
ferromagnetic film. A granular magnetic film and a
ferromagnetic film are stacked or arrayed along one surface
of a substrate and constitutes a ferromagnetic tunnel
junction film. In the ferromagnetic tunnel junction film,
the granular magnetic film functions as a barrier. Of the
granular magnetic film and the ferromagnetic film, by varying
spin direction of one ferromagnetic film through an external
magnetic field, a giant magnetoresistance effect is
manifested. Such a magnetic element is characterized in that
magnetoresistance change rate is large, saturation magnetic
field is small, resistance of the element can be controlled
to an appropriate value, performance is small in its
variation and stable.

Abstract: The present invention offers a control device of an
engine intake throttle valve (25) which optimizes a
combustion condition of a combustion chamber (12) when an
internal combustion engine (11) starts. The shorter an
elapsed time after starting the engine, the higher a target
throttle angle of the intake throttle valve (25) is. The
target throttle angle changes to be lower in response to
swift rising of the temperature of the combustion chamber
(12), just after the engine (11) starts. Therefore the
combustion condition of the combustion chamber (12) is
optimized in the operation of starting the engine (11).
Furthermore, the target throttle angle LSTRG is controlled
according to the elapsed time after starting the engine (11),
even though the coolant temperature changes slowly. Then, the
combustion condition of the combustion chamber (12) is
reliably optimized.

Abstract: A target cable has first and second ends that are identified in advance. All
conductors of the target cable are electrically short-circuited at the first end of the
cable. At the second end of the target cable, pilot signals are infused into a
optional number of the conductors of the target cable. The pilot signals produce
leakage flux from the target cable anywhere along the target cable. At a given site
where the target cable is going to be identified, a magnetic sensor is successively
applied to many cables laid around the target cable, to detect the leakage flux. By
finding a cable that provides the leakage flux caused by the pilot signals, it is
determined that the cable is the target cable.
