Abstract: A method and apparatus for the non-invasive, dynamic tracking and diagnosing of cardiac vulnerability to ventricular fibrillation are disclosed. T-wave alternans and heart rate variability are simultaneously evaluated. T-wave alternation is an absolute predictor of cardiac electrical instability. Heart rate variability is a measure of autonomic influence, a major factor in triggering cardiac arrythmias. By simultaneously analyzing both phenomena, the extent and cause of cardiac vulnerability can be assessed. The method includes the following steps. An ECG signal is sensed from a heart. The T-wave portions of the ECG signal are analyzed to estimate an amplitude of beat-to-beat alternation. The amplitude of beat-to-beat alternation represents cardiac electrical instability. The R-R intervals are analyzed to estimate a magnitude of a high frequency component of heart rate variability and to estimate a magnitude of a low frequency component of heart rate variability. The high frequency component indicates parasympathetic activity. The low frequency component indicates combined sympathetic activity and parasympathetic activity. The amplitude of beat-to-beat alternation, the high frequency component of heart rate variability, and the low frequency component of heart rate variability are simultaneously analyzed to diagnose cardiac electrical instability.

Abstract: In a coin detection system, a coin passes between conductive plates which form a capacitor, which provides part of the frequency controlling capacitance of an LC tuned oscillator circuit. The presence of a coin between the conductive plates alters the capacitance, and consequently alters the output frequency of the oscillator circuit. The oscillator output is supplied to the clock of a counter, optionally following frequency division in a frequency divider. The counter counts the number of clock pulses received in a 10 ms period, and the count value is provided to a microprocessor via a shift register. The count value will be a measure of the frequency of the output of the oscillator. The microprocessor uses the output to determine whether a valid coin has been received, and if so, what the denomination of the valid coin is.

Abstract: A load carrier for a vehicle has a load carrier bar which, at opposite ends, has anchorage devices for fixing on longitudinal so-called railings on the vehicle roof. The anchorage devices have two clamping jaws (14) which, from opposite sides, are engageable against the railings. The one clamping jaw (14) has a sliding body (20) which is disposed in a channel (6) in the load carrier bar and has a free-going aperture (25) for a screw (21). The other clamping jaw (14) has a wedge body (17) slidable in the channel and provided with a through aperture (25) for the screw (21). The wedge body (17) of the clamping jaw (14) cooperates in the channel (6) with a second wedge body (19) which has a threaded aperture (26) for the screw. By tightening the screw (21), the wedge bodies (17, 19) are tightened towards one another and positionally fixed in the channel (6) at the same time as the clamping jaws (14) are forced towards one another.

Abstract: An improved video signal recording system for recording a full bandwidth video signal on a limited bandwidth medium includes an encoder 10, coupled to an input terminal 5, for adaptively processing a composite video signal in response to a motion representative signal, and producing two signals; a luminance signal Lf, having attenuated high frequencies subsampled so as to be folded into a spectral hole in the low frequencies, and being bandwidth limited to the limited bandwidth of the recording medium, and a combined signal C+Mr including a chrominance and a motion component. Luminance signal recording circuitry 20 records the folded luminance signal on the medium, and chrominance signal recording circuitry records the combined chrominance and motion signal on the medium. An improved video signal playback system for reproducing such a prerecorded video signal is also disclosed. The playback system consists of a luminance signal playback circuit 60 for retrieving the prerecorded luminance signal Lpb from the medium, and a chrominance signal playback circuit 80 for retrieving the prerecorded combined chrominance and motion signal C+M from the medium. A decoder 70 extracts the motion signal and the chrominance signal from the combined chrominance and motion signal and an unfolding circuit extracts the luminance high frequencies from the prerecorded folded luminance signal and adaptively regenerates the full bandwidth luminance signal in response to the motion signal. This regenerated full bandwidth luminance signal is combined with the chrominance signal to reproduce the originally recorded composite video signal. A recording medium previously recorded by such a recording system is capable of being played back on a standard playback system without objectionable artifacts in the reproduced image. <MATH>   <MATH>

Abstract: A multi-piece trial femoral component kit for use in sizing a femoral cavity prior to implantation of a prosthetic femoral implant. The trial femoral component kit has at least two distal trial components of different size and two proximal trial components of different size and mating elements which allow the proximal and distal components to be releasably coupled to form a femoral trial prosthesis. The distal trial component combines with the proximal trial component to form the stem of the femoral trial prosthesis, the joint of the two components located in the circumferential area between the gluteal tuberosity and about 2'' below the pectineal line of the femur when the femoral trial is inserted within the femur. The distal and proximal components may further include means for selectively combining the proximal and distal components to form a femoral trial prosthesis that corresponds to an available prosthetic femoral implant. The dimensions of the distal and proximal components may be undersized when compared to the corresponding regions of the prosthetic femoral implant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the independent control of individual or a group of fluorescent lamps of a lighting system operated by the a.c. supply system with the main functions of rapid start, brightness control (dimming), extinction and storage of an operating state for switching on the system after it has been switched off. A feature of the invention resides in the possibility of converting existing conventional lighting systems without additional installation costs merely by exchanging the respective conventional starter for a control circuit according to the invention and by exchanging the conventional light switch for transducers according to the invention. To achieve this, a control element instead of the known starter is connected into the heating circuit for a lamp formed from a series circuit of a fluorescent tube with a ballast device. The control element consists at least of the components of power switch, phase detector, power supply, signal processor, clock generation means and control software deposited in the non-volatile memory and generating the control signals of the power switch among other things from the information of the phase detector.
