Title: Antitachycardial pacing
Inventor: MOWER M D MORTON M
IPC: A61N1/362
Filed: 2000-01-14
Granted: 2004-02-05
Abstract: Protocols for antitachycardial pacing including biphasic stimulation administered at, or just above, the diastolic depolarization threshold potential; biphasic or conventional stimulation initiated at, or just above, the diastolic depolarization threshold potential, reduced, upon capture, to below threshold; and biphasic or conventional stimulation administered at a level set just below the diastolic depolarization threshold potential. These protocols result in reliable cardiac capture with a lower stimulation level, thereby causing less damage to the heart, extending battery life, causing less pain to the patient and having greater therapeutic effectiveness. In those protocols using biphasic cardiac pacing, a first and second stimulation phase is administered. The first stimulation phase has a predefined polarity, amplitude and duration. The second stimulation phase also has a predefined polarity, amplitude and duration. The two phases are applied sequentially. Contrary to current thought, anodal stimulation is first applied and followed by cathodal stimulation. In this fashion, pulse conduction through the cardiac muscle is improved together with the increase in contractility.

Title: Identification system
Inventor: HOOK CHRISTOPHER DEREK
IPC: G01S13/78
Filed: 1985-07-24
Granted: 1988-05-05
Abstract: An identification system comprises an interrogator which transmits an interrogation signal to a plurality of transponders, each of which is arranged automatically to reply by means of a first coded identification signal stored in the transponder and modulated onto a carrier wave transmitted by the transponder. The interrogator receives and checks the reply signal. In the event of there being a plurality of transponders within range and broadcasting reply signals simultaneously, the interrogator receives corrupted reply signals. The interrogator therefore retransmits the reply signals to the transponders and each transponder checks the retransmitted reply signal with its first coded identification signal. In the event of correspondence the transponder discontinues transmission and in the event of non-correspondence the transponder continues transmission. In a polling mode of operation, the interrogator initially transmits a second coded identification signal corresponding to a selected transponder, and each transponder within the range compares the second signal with the first signal stored therein. If correspondence is established, the transponder is adjusted to receive further instructions which may comprise replacement of data stored therein. Each transponder includes a demodulator (34) comprising a phase locked loop which provides data, clock and carrier detect signals to a CPU (50) which includes ROM, RAM and an ALU. The carrier detect signal enables the CPU to switch the transponder from a power down condition to a power up conditon.

Title: Pesticidal fusions
Inventor: CHRISTOU PAUL
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 2000-04-27
Granted: 2004-10-28
Abstract: Disclosed are polynucleotides encoding a pesticidal fusion polypeptide comprising (i) a toxin domain; and (ii) a heterologous binding domain capable of binding non-specifically to a cell membrane without disrupting that membrane. Preferably the toxin domain is derived from a Bacillus thuringiensis cry toxin (e.g. CryIA (b) or (c)) and the binding domain is derived from a lectin (e.g. ricin toxin B chain). The use of such fusions may help to inhibit the acquisition of resistance in a pest population treated with the polypeptide. A further aspect of the invention is a method of assessing the toxicity of a polypeptide to a pest species by expressing a nucleic acid encoding said polypeptide in a host cell from that species, observing the viability of the cell and correlating the results of the observation with the toxicity of the polypeptide, wherein the viability is determined by assessing esterase activity or membrane.

Title: Molecular bonded fibre optic coupler
Inventor: FLING JOHN J
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 1986-08-26
Granted: 1987-11-05
Abstract: A fiber optic coupler (20) is formed by heating juxtaposed optically flat surfaces (34,36) formed on two lengths of optical fiber (22,24) to the glass transition temperature. The fibers bond together while preserving the molecular composition of the fibers at bonded region. Depending upon the depth to which the fibers are lapped to form the optically flat surfaces, the coupler may be either an evanescent field coupler or a core intercept coupler. The fibers may be mounted on curved substrates and then lapped to form the optically flat surfaces. The optical throughput of a fiber may be monitored during assembly of a coupler to permit adjustment of the positions of the optically flat surfaces to produce a desired coupling efficiency. The fibers may then be bonded together by application of energy from a suitable coherent light source such as a CO₂ laser.

Title: Hybrid cycle for liquefied natural gas
Inventor: AGRAWAL RAKESH
IPC: F25J1/00
Filed: 2000-10-06
Granted: 2002-02-14
Abstract: Refrigeration process for gas liquefaction which utilizes one or more vaporizing refrigerant cycles to provide refrigeration below about -40 DEG C and a gas expander cycle to provide refrigeration below about -100 DEG C.

A significant fraction of the total refrigeration power required to liquefy the feed gas (typically more than 5% and often more than 10% of the total) can be consumed by the vaporizing refrigerant cycles. The invention can be implemented in the design of a new liquefaction plant or can be utilized as a retrofit or expansion of an existing plant by adding gas expander refrigeration circuit to the existing plant refrigeration system.
