Title: Arc fault detector responsive to average instantaneous current and step increases in current and circuit breaker incorporating same
Inventor: RAE THOMAS CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H02H9/02
Filed: 2001-02-14
Abstract: An arc fault detector includes an average instantaneous current generator which averages the current over the fundamental period and produces a substantial output only where there are substantial variations in waveform between half cycles which is indicative of an arc. To discriminate over inrush currents, a pulse generator generates a pulse in response to the step increase in current caused by striking of an arc. An output circuit generates an arc signal when the time attenuated accumulation of pulses occurring in half-cycles in which the average instantaneous current is above  a selected threshold reaches a predetermined level. To further discriminate ov er dimmers during turn on of a cold tungsten bulb, the ANDing with the average instantaneous current is delayed until a time attenuated accumulation of the pulses reaches a threshold value. The average instantaneous current can be approximated by a bandpass filter with a center frequency below the fundamental of the ac current. A second bandpass filter with a center frequency above the fundamental can be used as the pulse generator.

Abstract: A hydrostatic continuously variable transmission includes a fixed capacity hydraulic pump and a variable capacity hydraulic motor, connected by a hydraulic closed circuit. A control system and method for the variable transmission provides a good deceleration feeling when going downhill. In accordance with the control system and method, a range of a selected gear is determined. Next, it is determined whether the vehicle is in an automatic gear shift mode. If these conditions are met, it is then determined whether or not certain criteria for descent control are satisfied. The certain criteria may include: (1) whether the throttle is closed; (2) a speed or acceleration of the vehicle; (3) whether the acceleration exceeds a threshold; and (4) whether simultaneous satisfaction of conditions (1)-(3) exist for a period of time exceeding a fixed time. If all of the criteria are satisfied, the gear ratio is shifted by a specified amount towards a LOW side. Therefore, when driving downhill, the vehicle is not subject to acceleration greater than a predetermined value.

Abstract: Many people suffer from dry cracking skin on their hands and feet particularly on the heels and knuckles.      The usual solution is to apply moisturizing cream or petroleum jelly to the affected area; however, this solution is not always adequate because the moisturizer rubs off or evaporates before it has a chance to work effectively.      This item, which covers the entire foot or hand, is a specially constructed slipper or mitten designed to be worn while at rest or while sleeping. Its moisture-proof, inside nylon lining prevents the moisturizer from rubbing off or evaporating too quickly, and a cotton outer layer provides warmth and protection.

Title: Method and apparatus for preparing a femur to receive a modular prosthetic femoral component
Inventor: BLAMEY JONATHAN
IPC: A61B17/16
Filed: 2002-01-11
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for preparing a femur to receive a modular prosthetic femoral component. A distal reamer having a plurality of sets of depth marks is utilized to prepare the distal femoral canal. The sets of depth marks on the distal reamer correspond in number to the number of distal femoral stems available for use with the particular modular prosthetic femoral implant set. Each set of depth marks comprises a plurality of indicator rings corresponding in number to the number of proximal bodies adapted for utilization with the prosthetic femoral component set. Prior to distal reaming, the appropriate set of depth marks and indicator ring is chosen corresponding to the modular components the surgeon wishes to utilize. Reaming then takes place until the chosen indicator ring is aligned with a reference point (e.g., the top of the greater trochanter). Upon reaching the appropriate reaming depth, the distal reamer is left in place in the femoral canal. A cannulated forming tool, e.g. a rasp or reamer, is thereafter positioned over the shank of the distal reamer and utilized to effect proximal canal sizing. The distal reamer head is sized whereby the proximal reamer, e.g., will abut the reaming head of the distal reamer when the proximal reamer reaches the appropriate depth associated with the shortest distal stem of the modular femoral component set. In this way, the head of the distal reamer provides a mechanical stop for the proximal reamer so that both under reaming and over reaming are avoided. In cases in which a longer femoral stem is utilized, a cylindrical spacer having a length corresponding to the length difference between the shortest distal stem and the chosen distal stem is utilized to provide a mechanical stop for the proximal reamer. The reamer spacer includes an elongate aperture sized whereby the reamer spacer fits about the shank of the distal reamer.
