Title: Yarn sampling apparatus
Inventor: HATAKEYAMA YASUNORI
IPC: G01N33/36
Filed: 2000-07-17
Abstract: Until now, when yarn was sampled, yarn ends had to be drawn manually from
peg-held packages on a creel stand or the like and spliced together one at a
time. Alternatively, the packages held on the creel stand had to be taken off
the stand and placed on trays, either one by one or in multiple lots, and
transported, with sampling performed as the packages are transported. The manual
labor involved in drawing such yarns was troublesome, and manual labor was
required to splice together the yarns. Additionally, it was difficult to draw
the yarn ends from the packages. 
     In the present invention, a yarn sampling apparatus 1 draws and samples
yarns Y directly from packages P held on pegs 5 of peg-equipped creel stands
3a, 3b. The pegs 5 are equipped with yarn end clamps 21, comprised as yarn end
clamp members that lock the yarn ends.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming an impression of a socket (14) used in
a prosthetic device. The impression is formed using a blank (10) formed of a material
which is malleable at low temperatures. The blank is inserted inside the socket and
heated so that the blank assumes a molded shape which conforms to the shape and size
of the socket. The molded blank is then cooled and removed from the socket. The
blank material has a sufficient flexibility to allow the molded blank to deflect or bend
significantly during removal yet return to its molded shape. The molded blank may
then be used to form a new socket.

Abstract: A multipurpose hemofiltration system (10) and method are disclosed for the removal of fluid and/or soluble waste from the blood of a patient. The system (10) continuously monitors the flow rates of drained fluid, blood, and infusate. When necessary, the pumping rates of the infusate, drained fluid and blood are adjusted to remove a preselected amount of fluid from the blood in a preselected time period. A supervisory controller (160) can monitor patient parameters, such as heart rate (120) and blood pressure (130), and adjust the pumping rates accordingly. The supervisory controller (160) uses fuzzy logic to make expert decisions, based upon a set of supervisory rules, to control each pumping rate to achieve a desired flow rate and to respond to fault conditions. An adaptive controller (162) corrects temporal variations in the flow rate based upon an adaptive law and a control law.
