Patent EP-2022907-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BERRITTA ROBERTO
IPC: E04F21/24
Filed: 2008-07-25
Abstract: A self-propelled concrete finishing trowel (20) has a steering system (22) that counteracts a portion of the load associated with operator manipulation of a steering handle. A steering linkage connects the steering handle to a rotor assembly. A steering assist mechanism, preferably including a torsion bar or a spring, imposes a preload on the steering linkage to reduce handle actuation forces. The steering assist mechanism reduces handle retention forces, required to maintain the handle in a particular position after moving the handle to that position, to less than about 20 lbs throughout the stroke of the operating handle.
Patent EP-1912242-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STANIC PETAR
IPC: H01J61/72
Filed: 2006-04-07
Abstract: The method involves attaching a discharge container (13) to a lamp holder (11), and filling the container with a predetermined quantity of mercury through a tube. A reversal mechanism is provided in such a manner that it passes a gas flow through a bypass channel (64) to drops (16) during a pre-operative step. The bypass channel is blocked by the mechanism during a filling process, so that the gas flow is guided by the dosage volume during blocking of the bypass channel and is carried along the drops into the discharge container. An independent claim is also included for a device for introducing a precisely proportioned amount of mercury into the discharge container of a lamp particularly into a fluorescent lamp.

IPC: A61L31/10
Filed: 2008-02-18
Abstract: A conjugate between an anti-thrombotic agent and a bioabsorbable polymer is provided. In addition, a method is provided for applying a coating comprising an anti-thrombotic agent and a bioabsorbable polymer conjugate to at least a portion of an implantable device to prevent or reduce the formation of thrombosis on the surface of the device. A first or sub-layer of the coating is prepared by mixing a polymeric material and a biologically active agent with a solvent, thereby forming a homogeneous solution. A second or outer layer comprises an anti-thrombotic heparin-bioabsorbable polymer conjugate. This coating may be applied over the inner drug-containing layers using, for example, a dip coating or spray coating process. After drying, the anti-thrombotic heparin bioabsorbable polymer conjugate remains in the outer layer of the coating, allowing agent from the inner layer to be eluted there through. In addition, the outmost layer prevents the formation of thrombosis, and also serves to modulate the release kinetics of the agent(s) contained within an inner layer(s) of the coating.

Abstract: A dual function capacitive occupant detection sensor includes a capacitive load cell (28-36) disposed below a seat cushion (14), an electric field emitter (20) disposed above the seat cushion (14) and a capacitance-responsive control circuit (22). The control circuit (22) determines a seated weight of an occupant based on the load cell capacitance, and a coupling of the electric field through an occupant based on the capacitance between the electric field emitter (22) and the vehicle ground. The measured seated weight and electric field coupling parameters are logically combined (24) to detect an occupant and to distinguish between a normally seated occupant and a cinched down infant or child seat of similar apparent weight.

Patent EP-2122305-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CRICKMORE ROGER IAN
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 2008-03-10
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé consistant à comparer l'état d'un transducteur basé sur une phase à deux moments temporels afin de déterminer le taux de variation avec le temps de la mesurande représentée par un changement de phase. L'amplitude du taux de variation ou de la dérivée du changement de phase est habituellement bien plus petite que le signal lui-même, et la mesure de la dérivée peut donc être considérée comme une mesure à faible sensibilité à utiliser à la place ou en combinaison avec la mesure du signal normal ayant une plus grande sensibilité. De cette manière, des signaux de plus grande amplitude qui pourraient être soumis à des effets de sur-chevauchement peuvent être mesurés plus efficacement. Par exemple, avec un signal ayant la majeure partie de son énergie centrée à environ 800 MHz, la dérivée de ce signal sera généralement atténuée de 60 db avec une période entre les deux mesures de 200 ns.

Abstract: New high density microfluidic devices and methods provide precise metering of fluid volumes and efficient mixing of the metered volumes. A first solution is introduced into a segment of a flow channel in fluidic communication with a reaction chamber. A second solution is flowed through the segment so that the first solution is displaced into the reaction chamber, and a volume of the second solution enters the chamber. The chamber can then be isolated and reactions within the chamber can be initiated and/or detected. High throughput methods of genetic analysis can be carried out with greater accuracy than previously available.

Inventor: HAMM VALERY
IPC: H05C1/04
Filed: 2008-01-30
Abstract: The method involves comparing a value of an equivalent resistance at a secondary terminal of a transformer with a predetermined threshold. Discharge of storage capacitors (CB2 to CBn) in a primary winding of the transformer is controlled at different cycles when the value of the resistance exceeds the threshold. The discharge of the capacitors is prevented at each cycle during the current cycle and delay triggering, when the value of the resistance is lower than the threshold. The discharge of the capacitor is controlled if the triggering is completed as long as the delay is not triggered.
