Title: Distal targeting of locking screws in intramedullary nails
Inventor: GOVARI ASSAF
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2003-07-14
Granted: 2008-11-20
Abstract: In a distal targeting system a hand-held location pad is integral with a guide section for a drill or similar surgical instrument, and has a plurality of magnetic field generators. A sensor, such as a wireless sensor, having a plurality of field transponders, is disposed in an orthopedic appliance, such as an intramedullary nail. The sensor is capable of detecting and discriminating the strength and direction of the different fields generated by the field generators. Control circuitry, preferably located in the location pad is responsive to a signal of the sensor, and determines the displacement and relative directions of an axis of the guide section, and a bore in the orthopedic appliance. A screen display and optional speaker in the location pad provide an operator-perceptible indication that enables the operator to adjust the position of the guide section so as to align its position and direction with the bore. <IMAGE>

Title: Crosslaminate of oriented films, method of manufacturing same, and coextrusion die suitable in the process
Inventor: RASMUSSEN OLE-BENDT
IPC: B29C48/495
Filed: 2003-03-03
Granted: 2007-06-14
Abstract: New cross-laminates are formed of films of which at least two are uniaxially or unbalanced biaxially oriented, in which the main direction of orientation in one of these films crosses the main direction of orientation in the other one, having modifications, made in a suitable pattern, of the surface properties of the two films on the surfaces which are inside the laminate and are bonded to each other. The internally arranged surface layers of the films comprise an array of strands (101, 102) of coextruded material and the films are arranged so that the arrays of the two films cross one another. The strands may be used to control adhesion between the films and reduce the tendency to delaminate on repeated flexing, making a laminate suitable for use as a tarpaulin. Alternatively, especially in combination with provision of embossment of at least one of the films whose main layer is transparent to form striations (103), colored strands may confer interesting visual effects on the laminate viewed from the side of that film which may make the laminate appear thicker than it actually is.

Title: System and Method for Analysing Web-Server Log Files
Inventor: SHAPIRA ELIJAHU
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2004-05-05
Granted: 2007-04-05
Abstract: A method for analyzing traffic data generated by a plurality of web servers, which host a single web site. The site is mirrored on each server. A traffic data hit is generated responsive to each access of one of the servers. The hit includes data representing the time of the access. Each data hit is stored in a log file on the server accessed. The first-stored data hit is read from each server. Each of the read data hits are compared, and the oldest data hit is passed to a log file analyzer. The next-stored data hit is read from the server from which the passed data hit was read, and a second comparison is performed on the read data hits, with the oldest data hit being passed to the log file analyzer. This process continues until all of the data hits are read, compared, and passed to the log file analyzer. This results in passing all of the data hits to the log file analyzer in the chronological order in which the hits were generated.

Granted: 2011-07-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing uplink transmission in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system are disclosed. At a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), input data is encoded and parsed into a plurality of data streams. After modulation and Fourier transform, one of transmit beamforming, space time coding (STC) and spatial multiplexing is selectively performed based on channel state information. Symbols are then mapped to subcarriers and transmitted via antennas. The STC may be space frequency block coding (SFBC) or space time block coding (STBC). Per antenna rate control may be performed on each data stream based on the channel state information. At a Node-B, MIMO decoding may be performed based on one of minimum mean square error (MMSE) decoding, MMSE-successive interference cancellation (SIC) decoding and maximum likelihood (ML) decoding. Space time decoding may be performed if STC is performed at the WTRU.

Title: Double layer papermakers fabric with pockets for bulk enhancement
Inventor: PATEL RAE
IPC: D03D13/00
Filed: 2007-03-12
Granted: 2009-06-11
Abstract: A double layer papermakers' fabric that is particularly suitable for forming or through-air drying (TAD) of high bulk tissue and towel product is provided. The fabric includes a single warp yarn system interwoven with three weft yarn systems such that: a first of the weft yarn systems is located on the paper side (PS) surface of the fabric; a second of the weft yarn systems is located on the machine side (MS) surface of the fabric; and the third weft yarn system is located intermediate between the first and second weft yarn systems. The yarns of the first and second weft yarn systems are interwoven with the warp yarn system such that they are vertically stacked with respect to one another in the fabric. The yarns of the third weft yarn system are interwoven so as to be located in a central plane of the fabric that is intermediate of the first and second weft yarn systems, and each yarn of the third yarn system is located in between the vertically stacked pairs of weft yarns of the first and second weft yarn systems. The warp and weft yarn systems are interwoven according to an asymmetric design which provides generally rectangular pockets on each of the PS and MS of the fabric with the yarns of the third weft yarn system forming the "bottom" of each pocket. There may be from about 50 to 750 pockets per sq. in. of fabric, each ranging in depth from about 0.1 mm to about 1.0 mm in depth; these pockets impart unevenness to the fabric surface which assists in creating bulk in the sheet formed or conveyed thereon. The fabrics of the invention also offer low sheet contact area, typically less than 30% of the total fabric surface, and generally in the range of from 15% to about 20%. The fabrics are also highly air permeable to ensure good air flow and drainage of the sheet.

Title: Improvements to press pads
Inventor: DOUGLAS MELVYN
IPC: D03D15/56
Filed: 2007-05-01
Granted: 2012-07-05
Abstract: A press pad is provided for use in a laminate press. The pad comprises a woven fabric of heat resistant strands wherein at least either the warp (14) or the weft (10) comprises a core (11) made up of a plurality of strands (12) within a sheath (13) of an elastomeric material and the other comprises metal strands. Within the scale of the press pad, the strands (12) making up the core lie substantially parallel to one another and to the longitudinal axis of the core (11). In use, therefore, when pressurized in the laminate press, the core structure collapses as the strands making up the core move relative to one another and the core tends to flatten out. This increases the springiness and compensation ability of the press pad without any loss of heat transfer ability.
