Abstract: In a home audio visual network including a plurality of devices coupled via an IEEE 1394 bus, a system for accessing a media drive mechanism of a multi-item-type media player. The multi-item-type media player can play any type of disc media item. A media drive mechanism is included within the mutli-item-type media player and is configured to play or record the media item stored within the multi-item-type media player. A computer system is built-in to the multi-item-type media player. A software based media player model executes on the computer system, and in turn, causes the computer system to implement a method of accessing the media drive mechanism. In so doing, the computer system interfaces with a plurality of devices coupled to the multi-item media player via an IEEE 1394 communications link of an IEEE 1394 based network and provides a standardized command set for the media drive mechanism. The media player model provides a set of standardized commands that allow the plurality of devices on the network to access the media drive mechanism and thereby access the installed media item and control the functionality of the media drive mechanism.

Title: An inflatable thermal blanket for convectively and evaporatively cooling a body
Inventor: AUGUSTINE SCOTT D
IPC: A47G9/02
Filed: 1998-08-25
Abstract: An inflatable thermal blanket is disclosed for convectively and evaporatively cooling a patient. The inflatable thermal blanket comprises an upper sheet and a base sheet that are attached at a plurality of locations to form an inflatable covering. The base sheet includes a plurality of apertures that direct an inflating medium from the inflatable covering toward the patient. The base sheet also supports a fluid delivery apparatus that distributes and delivers a cooling fluid to the patient. The fluid is evaporated from the patient's skin by the inflating medium exhausted from the inflatable covering. The fluid delivery apparatus may be constructed in a variety of configurations and may be circulate a variety of fluids, which may be pressurized or unpressurized. In operation, an air blower, that may also include a compressor for selectively delivering room temperature or cooled air to the inflatable thermal blanket, is connected to the inflatable covering. The blower delivers air, under pressure, to an inlet opening in the inflatable covering. The pressurized air is distributed throughout the inflatable covering and flows to the patient through the apertures in the base sheet. The inflatable thermal blanket is configured to cover one or more portions of a patient's body. In one construction, the inflatable thermal blanket covers all of the patient's body except for the head. In an alternative construction, a specially designed inflatable thermal blanket is constructed to cover only the patient's head.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray absorbing material which can be used in medicine as well as in the production of special
protection clothes, protection screens, housings, protection coatings and isolation materials. In a first embodiment, the material uses as a
filler a poly-dispersed kneading-segregated mixture containing metallic particles having a size of between 10 -9  and 10 -3  m, wherein said
particles are bonded to the surface of a textile base. The density of the material is defined by the relation  q N  = (0.01 - 0.20)q P    wherein q N  is
the density of the X-ray absorbing material as a whole while q P  is the density of the material used for the particles of the X-ray absorbing
filler. In a second embodiment, this invention uses as a filler the above-mentioned mixture though the particles are surrounded by the
volume of a matrix made of a compound that solidifies under atmospheric pressure. The total mass of the poly-dispersed and segregated
mixture is defined by the relation M = (0.05 - 0.5)m where M is the total mass of the X-ray absorbing poly-dispersed and segregated
filler, while m is the equivalent mass of the filler material which is equal by its protection properties to the mass M. In a third
embodiment, this invention uses as a filler the above-mentioned mixture though the particles we bonded to an intermediate substrate
consisting of a textile base and surrounded by the volume of a matrix.
