Patent CA-2480815-C (CA)

Abstract: Apparatus for conducting geophysical surveys comprising a multiplicity of intelligent electrodes provided on a multi-conductor cable, for receiving a command signal in response to which predetermined electrodes are connected to selected conductors in the cable. Each intelligent electrode is identical in all respects, including its programming, resulting in simplified construction of the cable and easy replacement of the intelligent electrodes. Instead of assigning a unique address code to each switch in a series of take-outs on a multi- conductor cable, each electronic switch is programmed with the same address code. That is, each switch is programmed to be activated when it receives a code command that, for example, is prefaced with a particular address, e.g. the number 1. The second part of the code (y) instructs the switch as to which conductor in the multi-conductor cable is to be connected to the local electrode at the location of the switch. When the controller issues a code command that is prefaced by a number which is larger than 1, (e.g. n), then the first switch in the sequence of switches along the cable decrements the preface number. The first switch then re-transmits the code command, with only the preface portion having been changed, (i.e. to n-1), along the cable to the next switch in the series. Each successive switch performs a similar modification to the preface number, and retransmits the progressively modified code command to the next switch in the series. Ultimately, when the modified command reaches the nth switch, it is prefaced with the number 1, whereupon that switch then recognizes it as a valid command to operate. The second part of the command (y) remains unaltered through the repeated re-transmissions, and determines which conductor in the cable is to be connected to the electrode (i.e. to ground).

Abstract: An integrator of a vehicular radar system has multiple switches and multiple capacitors, which are connected with the switches, for each one of photoreceptive elements. The integrator integrates light reception signals, which are output from the photoreceptive elements, by switching the switches to a connected state one after another in a predetermined order at a predetermined time interval until a predetermined time passes after every emission of the laser light and by switching the switches to the connected state one after another in a predetermined order at a predetermined time interval if the laser light is emitted predetermined times. Thus, the integrator can integrate the light reception signals, which are output from the multiple photoreceptive elements, in parallel.

Abstract: A device for promoting subject person~s awareness of a change of his/her posture, the awareness promoted by skin sensory stimulation produced based on posture change information (amount, direction, etc. of a positional change of subject person~s gravity center) from an apparatus for detecting a posture change of the subject person. The device has stimulation-producing means (vibrators) for producing skin sensory stimulation and stimulation-controlling means for driving the stimulation-producing means based on the posture change information. The control means has means for selecting vibrators, based on the direction of a positional change of the gravity center, from the vibrators arranged substantially parallel to the direction of a positional change of the gravity center, and sequentially drives the selected vibrators, for example, to the direction opposite the direction of a positional change of the gravity center. Further, the control means drives the vibrators so as to produce sensory stimulation with strength corresponding to the amount of a directional change of the gravity center. The vibrators are installed on a foot bottom, waist, breast, etc. The device can accurately inform the subject person of a change of his/her posture to promote his/her action to maintain the posture.

Abstract: A system for determining whether the pressure in a fluid line upstream of an infusion pump is becoming lower as pumping draws fluid from the fluid line and fluid container due to a lack of proper venting. An initial pressure is sensed by an upstream pressure sensor at the start of an infusion. After a period of time, which may be determined either by monitoring infusion time or the number of pump cycles completed, a second pressure is sampled and compared to the initial pressure. Various analytical methods may be applied to the sensed pressures to determine upstream pressures or trends. Where an upstream pressure reading indicates a lack of proper venting, an alert signal is provided. Continuous monitoring may occur in which succeeding samples are compared to preceding samples to determine upstream pressures or trends.
