Title: Modular gas-pressured needle-less injector
Inventor: CASTELLANO THOMAS P
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 2001-04-13
Abstract: A needle-less injector suitable for injecting fluid through a surface includ es a housing, a driver, an engine and a trigger. The housing contains a fluid a nd the engine contains a compresser gas. Upon application of sufficient force t o the trigger, the compressed gas is released from the engine forcing the driv er through the interior of the housing, expelling the liquid from the housing a t a speed sufficient to pierce and injection surface. In one embodiment, the needle-less injector includes a mechanism for mitigating the kickback associated with releasing compressed gas from the engine. In another embodiment, the housing includes finger rests that provide stability and resistance to activate the device. In another embodiment, a safety clamp is included on the housing, preventing accidental activation of the device.</SD OAB>

Title: Appareil et procede d'essai de la qualite rf de dispositifs de communication sans fil au cours de leur production
Inventor: WOJCIK JACEK J
IPC: G01R29/08
Filed: 2001-04-25
Abstract: On décrit un appareil et un procédé d'essais multiples de la radio fréquence (RF) qui permettent de tester rapidement (par exemple pendant le processus de fabrication) un dispositif de communication sans fil pour déterminer si le dispositif en fonctionnement correspond à une spécification de référence prédéterminée définissant des paramètres de facteur d'absorption spécifique (FAS) corrélés au dispositif et de tester simultanément les pertes du corps du dispositif. Pour effectuer l'essai, le dispositif est placé dans une enceinte protégée RF et mis en fonctionnement à une puissance d'émission de test. Un réseau linéaire de capteurs isotropes à champ E (comprenant 5 capteurs par exemple) est placé à un endroit prédéfini dans le contenant à l'intérieur d'une matière simulant des tissus humains et le champ électrique est mesuré dans l'enceinte. Plusieurs sondes isotropes RF sont réparties spatialement à l'intérieur du contenant et mesurent la puissance RF reçue, le contenant comportant, à l'intérieur, des surfaces réfléchissantes. Un moyen de traitement informatique compare les mesures du champ électrique aux données de spécification de référence (FAS) et détermine à partir de cette comparaison si le dispositif est conforme à la spécification. Le moyen de traitement informatique combine également les mesures de puissance RF et produit une valeur qui représente la perte du corps intégrée et moyennée du dispositif. La détermination de la conformité du dispositif à la spécification FAS détermine également une mesure d'intégrité du système métallique du dispositif.

IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2002-12-19
Abstract: A monitoring system including a baseline model that automatically captures and models normal system behavior, a correlation model that employs multivariate autoregression analysis to detect abnormal system behavior, and an alarm service that weight and scores a variety of alerts to determine an alarm status and implement appropriate response actions. The baseline model decomposes the input variables into a number of components representing relatively predictable behaviors so that the erratic component e(t) may be isolated for further processing. These components include a global trend component, a cyclical component, and a seasonal component. Modeling and continually updating these components separately permits a more accurate identification of the erratic component of the input variable, which typically reflects abnormal patterns when they occur.

Abstract: A safety mechanism for a hedge trimmer is disclosed. Thumb catches 1032, 1048, together with corresponding locking members are initially biased downwardly relative to corresponding actuator levers 1010, 1014, as a result of which actuation of a motor of the hedge trimmer is prevented. This prevents inadvertent one-handed actuation of the hedge trimmer. In order to actuate the hedge trimmer, the user holds one of the actuator levers 1010, 1014 the corresponding thumb catch 1032 or upwardly, which causes movement of the other thumb catch towards its release position to allow pivotable movement of the actuator levers 1010, 1014 relative to a handle of the hedge trimmer. Movement of one of the actuator levers 1010, 1014 relative to the handle brings the lever 1018 into engagement with the electrical switch assembly 1008 to actuate the motor of the hedge trimmer. When the actuator levers 1010, 1014 are released, torsion springs urge the actuator levers 1010, 1014 and locking members outwardly relative to the handle housing 1004, as a result of which the locking members are urged into a locking position to prevent further actuation of actuator levers 1010, 1014 until the thumb catches 1032, 1048 have again been slid out of their locking position.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a corresponding kit for determining the cytotoxicity of a test agent. The method includes the steps of adding a pre-determined amount of the test agent to a vessel containing living cells in culture medium. The cells are then incubated for a pre-determined amount of time. To the cells and culture medium is then added a reagent mixture that is non-toxic to the living cells. In the preferred embodiment, the reagent mixture contains a solvent, a dye, an electron transfer agent, a substrate for a cytoplasmic enzyme having a half-life greater than two hours and NAD+. The contents of the vessel are then measured for production of the reduced state of the dye, the production of the reduced state of the dye being caused by a cytoplasmic enzyme specific for the substrate in the reagent mixture. In the preferred embodiment, the production of the reduced state of the dye is caused by lactate dehydrogenase released from dead and dying cells within the vessel.  The kits contain components necessary for performing the method.
