Abstract: An acceleration sensor apparatus for a vehicle capable of properly detecting an acceleration acting on a vehicle body in a predetermined direction even when the mounted orientation of the acceleration sensor apparatus changes relative to the vehicle body, and capable of providing an output operation when the vehicle body tilts more than a predetermined angle.  A sensor housing is fixed on a vehicle body such as on a seatback.  A sensor bracket is swingably supported by the sensor housing about an axis parallel to an axis of tilt of the seatback.  An inertial body is movably supported in a support depression of the sensor bracket.  An output interlock member provides an output operation in an interlocking relation with an ascending movement of the inertial body along a slope of the support depression.  An upper weight is located above a swing center axis.  A lower weight is provided so that the center of gravity of an assembly swingably supported about the swing center axis is positioned below the swing center axis.  Further, when the sensor bracket swings more than a predetermined angle, a forcibly driving member provides an output operation so as to restrain the webbing from further being released from a retractor.

Title: Natural tissue valve prostheses having variably compliant leaflets and methods of their manufacture
Inventor: HATA CARY
IPC: A01N1/00
Filed: 1995-08-29
Granted: 2012-02-21
Abstract: Variably compliant natural tissue valve leaflets and vascular bioprosthetics 'incorporating variably compliant leaflets are provided along with methods for their manufacture. The variably compliant leaflets are fixed with the leaflet base section under greater pressure than the leaflet tip section rendering them relatively stiff along the leaflet base section and more flexible at the leaflet tip section. The radially variable flexing characteristics of the valve leaflets promote even distribution of mechanical stress on the valve assembly during the cardiac cycle leading to improved hemodynamic performance while retarding the calcification of the leaflet tissue.

Abstract: To reinforce a line of surgical staples in host tissue, a strip of xenogeneic or autogenic tissue, such as cross-linked pericardium or dura mater harvested from horses, cows, pigs, sheep and humans, is appropriately adhered to the apposed surfaces of a staple cartridge supporting jaw and an anvil jaw of a surgical staple gun so that when tissue to be excised is positioned between the jaws and the staple gun is fired, the staples will penetrate the two layers of animal tissue and the intervening host tissue.  Actuation of the cutting blade on the stapler or the use of a separate cutting instrument severs the tissue and the two layers of animal tissue along the staple line.  When used in performing a lung reduction procedure, the animal tissue reinforcing strips create an air-tight seal about the staples preventing air leaks.  The structure for holding the bovine pericardium strips may include a buttress member formed from a nonwoven polyethylene sheet material to which the pericardium or dura mater strips is attached using a basting stitch.

Abstract: A call answering system or device for a telephone network provides a mechanism for an outbound message (typically a greeting in a call answering scenario) to be identified as semi-interruptible.  An attempt to skip over a semi-interruptible message activates a warning message to alert the caller of the special status of the message.  The caller may then choose to resume listening to the original message, or confirm their decision to skip it.

Granted: 2007-01-30
Abstract: A device which reduces fitter and narrows the frequency spectrum of a fitter-ridden clock signal includes a basic unit having a plurality of series connected delay elements outputs from each delay element are all connected to an AND/NAND gate. A front end of the device locates missing clock pulses and ensures regular clock pulses are relayed to the remainder of the device. A succeeding section including plural basic units hones the signal such that fitter elements are removed. By the output of this section time duty cycles are uneven, a positive edge triggered flip-flop is then used to obtain 50 % duty cycles at the expense of halving the clock signal's frequency. Optionally a frequency doubler can be employed to regain the clock signal's original frequency.
