Abstract: A modularized LED lamp is disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide an LED lamp (1200) in which digital and/or analog communication takes place between the LED module (100, 200, 1208) and the power supply unit (PSU) (105, 205, 1202) of the lamp. A controller (110, 210, 1218) in the LED module (100, 200, 1208) sends signals to the PSU (105, 205, 1202), allowing separation of the two parts so that each part can be manufactured independently as opposed to being manufactured as a calibrated, matched pair. The LED module (100, 200, 1208), by way of its controller (110, 210, 1218), provides information to the PSU (105, 205, 1202) that allows the power supply to adjust its drive current appropriately. The PSU controller (120, 220) can also respond to operating temperature variations of the LEDs in order to provide thermal shutdown, brightness compensation, and other control if needed. In some embodiments, a controller (120, 220) in the PSU (105, 205, 1202) also responds to an external dimming input.

Title: Method for producing oil-in-water emulsified food product composition and additive for oil-in-water emulsified food product
Inventor: KAWASHIMA YUI
IPC: A23L33/00
Filed: 2012-05-24
Abstract: Provided is a method for producing an oil-in-water emulsified food product composition. The method includes adding an oil and fat containing a highly hydrophilic emulsifier or a mixture of an oil and fat containing a highly hydrophilic emulsifier and water to water or an aqueous solution of water-soluble minerals and mixing them, then adding a protein or a protein and an additional component, and heating and sterilizing the composition, and the oil and fat contains a medium chain fatty acid in a ratio of more than 0.1% by weight and less than 100% by weight with respect to the total fatty acid composition. The method can suppress foaming of the oil-in-water emulsified food product composition during mixing, can also generate no phase separation or aggregates or extremely suppress the generation after heat sterilization, and can further maintain the stability of components susceptible to oxidation, such as vitamins during preservation if such a component is contained, thus producing a high quality oil-in-water emulsified food product composition.

Abstract: A raised access floor service box can have a plurality of entry points that are segregated from one another. Each of the plurality of entry points can be associated with a corresponding plurality of segregated chambers. At least one of the segregated chambers can be configured to be a secure chamber, which further can include a door to the chamber. The door to the secure chamber can include a lock that secures and prevents the door from opening when the lock is in a locked position, thus securing the cables and cable connections within the security chamber. In addition, the raised access floor service box can have connector ports that are only accessible within the security chamber. The raised access floor service box thus allows for various types of cables, with various levels of security, to be associated with a single raised access floor service box.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil et des procédés permettant d'utiliser des dispositifs implantés pour ajuster et maintenir des relations spatiales entre os adjacents. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'implant se fixe à un os vertébral d'une unité fonctionnelle spinale à deux os vertébraux. L'implant résiste à la formation et à la progression de la spondylolisthésis dans les directions antérieure, postérieure et latérale en fonction de la configuration de fixation de l'implant. Pour résister à la spondylolisthésis, la mise en œuvre caractéristique de l'implant consiste en un ancrage sur l'os vertébral supérieur par l'intermédiaire d'une fixation sur l'isthme interarticulaire vertébral, sur la lame vertébrale, sur l'apophyse épineuse, ou sur le pédicule de l'os vertébral supérieur. L'implant vient buter sur une surface de l'os vertébral inférieur, mais ne s'y attache pas. Une surface de butée supplémentaire peut être utilisée pour séparer l'aspect supérieur du processus articulaire supérieur de l'os vertébral inférieur et le processus articulaire inférieur de l'os vertébral supérieur, limitant ainsi la flexion vertébrale. L'implant peut en outre comprendre une cavité contenant une substance de formation d'os.

Title: Systèmes et procédés pour fixer des systèmes de support d'équipement médical mobile à des dispositifs de transport de patients
Inventor: HILTON RANDALL D
IPC: F16B2/10
Filed: 2012-08-31
Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des systèmes et à des procédés adaptés pour fixer un système de support d'équipement médical mobile, comme un mât pour pompe à perfusion par exemple, à un dispositif de transport de patients mobile, un chariot médical par exemple. Ceci a pour but de renforcer la sécurité du patient et du soignant. Le système de support selon l'invention comprend : une structure support primaire ; un ou plusieurs points de fixation configurés de façon à sécuriser un ou des dispositifs d'administration de médicaments et/ou un ou des dispositifs de surveillance médicale ; un ensemble de mobilité monté sur roulettes ; et un ensemble accrocheur comprenant un dispositif accrocheur de raccordement qui est configuré de façon à s'appairer, pour un fonctionnement, avec un dispositif d'accrochage de raccordement correspondant du dispositif de transport de patients mobile. Dans certains modes de réalisation de l'invention, l'ensemble de mobilité comprend un convoyeur au sol tracteur de chariots muni de trois extensions montées sur roulettes et fixées de sorte à pouvoir tourner rotative, ou plus. Le processus de couplage commence par diminuer la hauteur du dispositif de transport de patients. Ensuite, le dispositif accrocheur de raccordement est aligné avec le dispositif d'accrochage de raccordement. Le dispositif accrocheur de raccordement est ensuite sécurisé au dispositif d'accrochage de raccordement, en augmentant la hauteur du dispositif de transport de patients. De cette manière, le dispositif de transport de patients peut être propulsé sans qu'il soit nécessaire de propulser séparément le système de support. L'encombrement du système de support peut également être réduit en augmentant encore plus la hauteur du dispositif de transport de patients, ce qui renforce d'autre part la manœuvrabilité.
