Abstract: An adaptation of standard boundary cell architecture defined by the IEEE  1149.1 Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface standard to provide paths to functional circuitry via the re-use of JTAG standard test data registers (TDR) and interface. Existing multi-core processor solutions are covered, but an expansion for a more generic solution is provided. In general, an integrated circuit is provided with a plurality of function registers along with a plurality of I/O  units. The I/O units are arranged in a serial communications chain located around the boundary of the integrated circuit's functional circuitry. Each of the I/O units include JTAG standard serial TDR in serial communication with adjacent I/O units. Moreover, each I/O  unit includes JTAG standard parallel TDR that is associated with and in parallel communication with the I/O  unit's JTAG standard serial TDR. Further still, a digital logic interface is configured to control the direct transfer of data between the JTAG standard parallel TDR and a corresponding one of the plurality of function registers. As a result of the re-use of existing boundary scan architecture, a significant reduction in wiring congestion is realized. Thus, asynchronous communication is provided without sacrificing valuable integrated circuit real estate.

Abstract: A tank-tankless water heater includes primary and secondary heat exchange rs, and a combustor for the production of flue gases. In operation, water is first heated as the water and flue gases flow through primary heat exchange r. The water flows into the tank where it is stored and again heated as the flue gases flow through the secondary heat exchanger. A pump moves the water from the secondary heat exchanger, through the primary heat exchanger, and back to the secondary heat exchanger for storage as needed to maintain the s tored water at a desired temperature Water is drawn from the secondary heat exchanger during initial demand to provide a ready source of hot water, and the hot water supply is maintained by the primary heat exchanger during sust ained hot water draws.

Title: Seismic controller for friction bearing isolated structures
Inventor: YAKOUB HAISAM
IPC: E04B1/36
Filed: 2009-07-15
Abstract: The system described herein consists of an isolator and a damping device. The isolator and damping device are used to isolate structures from earthquake induced forces and attenuate the remaining induced seismic forces to superstructure, in other words it mitigates effectively earthquake effects on structures.  These devices extremely reduce transmitted seismic energy to isolated superstructures, so that protected structures by means of the devices described herein, have small or no damages.  The isolator has a spherical Sliding Hammer fixed to ground via a footing, Rotating Anvil that responds to the moving Sliding Hammer by Rotating around the centre of a small concave or convex and moving slightly horizontally and vertically, causing the superstructure to move smoothly and slightly horizontally and vertically. The Isolator has a third part called a Hook that consists the top part of the Isolator and is fixed to the isolated superstructure. The damping device consists of a Bowl receives or causes vertical displacement from or to the superstructure, dampers and springs to dissipate more energy, restrict maximum horizontal displacements and help returning the superstructure to its stationary position in smooth way. The combination of high reduction in seismic induced forces, high reduction of superstructure vibration become achievable with these devices described herein. Consequently, structures that are designed for wind loads and isolated with the devices herein become protected to adequate amounts that allow minimal or no damages to the superstructures from both wind and seismic forces. That means continuous serviceability during and aftermath becomes achievable for the very most of the earthquakes and site characteristics combinations.

Title: Low speed pulsating showerhead
Inventor: LEBER LELAND C
IPC: B05B1/32
Filed: 2007-12-27
Abstract: A showerhead may include a housing, a jet disk, a turbine, and a shutter. The housing may include a fluid inlet, at least one fluid outlet, and a chamber in fluid communication with the inlet and one or more outlets. The jet disk, turbine, and shutter may be placed in the cavity. The shutter may include at least one opening. The shutter may selectively cover and uncover fluid outlets, thus selectively fluidly connecting the fluid outlets with the chamber. Water flowing through the housing causes the turbine to spin. As the turbine spins, the shutter rotates at a slower speed than the turbine to produce a periodic interruption of water flow through the outlets by covering and uncovering the outlets as the shutter rotates within the housing.

IPC: F24H3/00
Filed: 2009-08-18
Abstract: The AVKES Infrared Heater is a quality heating system that efficiently transforms electrical energy into radiant energy, resulting in directed heat. This is accomplished by a unique design which utilizes a quartz crystal capable of maximizing heat with minimal electrical consumption. This product offers automatic heat adjustment from 0 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. With this product, customers will feel the heat directly from the AVKES as a result of its radiant heating properties, as opposed to feeling heat indirectly from the air, as one might experience through the traditional, yet wasteful, convection heating method.  Backed by a 2-year warranty and with two models for now to choose from, the AVKES  meets safety standards and offers consumers an environmentally conscious product.   Like any other heaters, there are some risks associated with using Avkes infrared heaters.  Some of these risks are the usage territory's electricity, property's electrical wiring, installation of heater etc...

Title: Disposable infusion cassette with low air bubble retention and improved valves
Inventor: SOBERON ALEX P
IPC: A61M5/36
Filed: 2002-03-11
Abstract: A disposable cassette for use with a medical infusion pump. An elastomeric membrane is captured between a facing member and a base of the cassette and is displaced into a pumping chamber. The elastomeric membrane includes a generally T-shaped lip, and corresponding grooves are provided on the facing member and base. As the cassette is assembled, an interference fit between the lip and the grooves causes the membrane to stretch taut and to be securely anchored, eliminating a break-in period when the cassette is initially used. "Lobes" of increased thickness provided on the undersurface of a portion of the elastomeric membrane overlying the pumping chamber reduce the residual volume of the pumping chamber, thereby reducing the volume of air retained within the chamber and increasing the accuracy of the cassette. The lobes also sweep air bubbles from the sides of the pumping chamber during operation, further reducing air bubbles retained in the pumping chamber. A distal tube support retains a distal fluid line between air or pressure sensors included on a pump drive mechanism, thus reducing the likelihood of sensing errors. Inlet and outlet valve flaps and corresponding seating surfaces included in the base are configured to provide quieter operation, further reduce the residual volume of the pumping chamber, increase fluid velocity through the outlet valve to sweep air bubbles from the pumping chamber, and protect against a "blown" inlet valve.

A portab le storage device contains software for a data-management application, which receives and processes test data from a meter that measures an analyte. The portable device may employ an interface protocol that makes the portable de vice immediately compatible with different operating systems and hardware co nfigurations. Once the portable device is connected to the host, the data-ma nagement application can be automatically launched. The convenience and port ability of a data-management system may be enhanced by integrating advanced data processing and display features with the portable device. The users may access some advanced presentations of health data without having to launch the data-management application on a separate host.
