Title: Improved output control circuit for inverter
Inventor: BILCZO DALE L
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 1990-02-01
Granted: 1991-07-25
Abstract: A control circuit is provided for the output of a high frequency inverter of the type having an output transformer with a core, primary windings and a secondary winding with two sections for creating a first secondary current pulse of electrical current in one section when the primary windings magnetizes the core and a second secondary current pulse in the other of the secondary sections when the primary windings remagnetizes the core. By alternating switch means for passing current through the primaries to magnetize and remagnetize the core at a preselected rate the output current pulses are provided by the two sections of secondary windings. The control circuit of the present invention involves a modification of the output transformer secondary stage. A first auxiliary winding is connected to one of the secondary sections to create an auxiliary current pulse as the core of the transformer is magnetized. A means is then employed for limiting this auxiliary current pulse and for adding the limited auxiliary current pulse to the first secondary pulse created by the secondary section to which the auxiliary winding is connected. In a like manner, a second auxiliary winding is connected to the other of the secondary sections to create a second auxiliary current pulse as the core is remagnetized. Means are provided for limiting the second auxiliary current pulse and for adding the second auxiliary current pulse to the second secondary current pulse from the secondary winding. Addition of limited current pulses to secondary current pulses created by the inverter provides a maximum output voltage which is higher than the maximum output voltage normally available while conserving primary current under higher output current conditions.

Title: Diagnosis and monitoring of lung cancer patients by measurement of NCA 50/90 in blood
Inventor: ALLARD WILLIAM JEFFREY
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 1994-04-12
Granted: 1997-08-28
Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression of, lung cancer in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 50/90 in a blood sample, e.g., serum sample, obtained from the patient. Measurement in a single sample of an amount of NCA 50/90 significantly higher than the mean amount of NCA 50/90 in the normal population is an indication of lung cancer in the patient. The progression of lung cancer can also be monitored by performing a series of specific immunoassays over time to determine changes in the level of NCA 50/90 in blood samples. Increases in blood NCA 50/90 levels over time are indicative of a deteriorating condition whereas decreasing levels of blood NCA 50/90 over time indicate an improving condition.

Title: Dosing system and method
IPC: B67D3/00
Filed: 1990-09-19
Granted: 1993-03-04
Abstract: A dosing system has a vessel for holding a fluid and a dosing device for dispensing a measured quantity of fluid from the vessel. The dosing device hermetically seals the vessel and has a valve with a fluid passage, a piston surrounding the valve and a cylinder housing surrounding the piston. The valve is positioned in a first position wherein fluid is gravity fed from the vessel to a chamber formed between a drive face of the piston and the cylinder housing. The valve can be reciprocated from the first position to a second position whereat the valve closes the inlet from the vessel to the chamber. The piston closes the passage within the valve when the valve is in the first position and opens the passage when the valve is moved to the second position to permit discharge of fluid from the chamber. When the valve moves to a third position, the drive face of the piston moves toward a shoulder of the cylinder housing to thereby pump the fluid from the chamber. The valve can be moved between these three positions to repeatedly discharge fluid. When the valve returns from the third through the second to the first position, the drive face of the piston will move away from the shoulder of the cylinder creating suction in the chamber. This suction will assist in the gravity feed of fluid from the vessel to the chamber. The dosing system is particularly useful in a dispenser for a beverage and the vessel can be a bag-in-box container. A pliable funnel portion is provided between the vessel and the dosing device whereby the dosing device may be pushed into or pulled from the vessel.
