Abstract: A current regulation circuit for a variable speed motor (112). The motor includes a stationary assembly having windings adapted for energization in at least one preselected sequence and a rotatable assembly in magnetic coupling relation to the stationary assembly. A power supply link connects the windings to a power supply (128) and includes power switching devices (110) for selectively energizing the windings in the preselected sequence by selectively connecting the power supply link to the windings to produce an electromagnetic field for rotating the rotatable assembly. The power switching devices each have a conducting state and a nonconducting state. The current regulation circuit includes a timing circuit, a current sensing circuit and a control circuit (142). The timing circuit defines preset periods during which each of the power switching devices may be nonconducting. The current sensing circuit senses current in the power supply link. The control circuit controls the power switching devices so that each of the power switching devices is nonconducting when the sensed current exceeds a peak current reference level during the preset periods. In this manner, the current regulation circuit controls current which circulates during periods when only one power switching device is conducting.

Title: Epoxidized block copolymers.
Inventor: GEORGE SCOTT ELLERY
IPC: C08F8/08
Filed: 1994-01-03
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing selectively hydrogenated polydiene block copolymers with regiospecifically placed epoxy groups. The process involves polymerizing a conjugated diolefin under anionic polymerization conditions to form a living polydiene which is combined with a conjugated diolefin having a degree of substitution different than the previously mentioned conjugated diolefin to form a block copolymer which is reacted with hydrogen gas in the presence of a soluble transition metal catalyst and an organometallic reducing agent to form a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer, and epoxidizing the unsaturated sites of the non-hydrogenated blocks. This process allows a variety of structural geometries to be obtained in which the level of functionality is varied independent of molecular weight.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing the performance of a rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker. A pacemaker is provided which is capable of obtaining and storing information about a patient's cardiac function and about a pacemaker's operation during a brief exercise interval. The data collected includes information about the number of cardiac events during each two-second interval of the exercise, as well as the percentage of paced events during each two-second interval. Data reflecting the output of the pacemaker's activity sensor output is also collected for each two-second interval of the test. In addition, AV interval data for each cardiac cycle during the test is collected, this data being distinguished according to whether it reflects atrial-pace-to-ventricular-sense or atrial-sense-to-ventricular-sense AV intervals. The disclosed pacemaker is operable in conjunction with an external programming/processing unit, which receives the stored data after the exercise test is concluded. The data is processed and presented on the programmer screen in a manner which enables the clinician to readily assimilate it and observe the effects of hypothetical changes in rate-response programming in the pacemaker. Additionally, the clinician is able to observe the programmed AV rate adaption profiles in conjunction with the patient's actual AV performance, and compare this data with an AV profile from a typical healthy heart.
