Title: Medical material removal instrumentation.
Inventor: GELBFISH GARY A
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1997-05-27
Abstract: A cutting member (6) for a medical material removal instrument (2) comprises a cutting head having an axis (8) and an elongate drive rod (10) eccentrically attached at a distal end to the cutting head at a location spaced from the axis. The drive rod extends substantially parallel to the axis. The cutting member is used with an introducer sheath (4) or catheter which has a distal end portion inserted into a patient. The cutting head is provided with a cut-out (12) on the proximal side in part for enabling a drawing of material in a proximal direction internally from a patient into a distal end of the sheath (14) upon a partial ejection of the cutt ing head from the distal end of the sheath during a material removal operation. The material drawn into the sheath is severed in a scissors-type action of the cutting head against the distal end of the sheath upon a drawing of the cutting head via the drive rod into the distal end of the sheath. The cutting head has a maximal transverse cross-section conforming in a close fit to an inner surface of the sheath and is tapered from the maximal transverse cross-section in a proximal direction to facilitate a smooth and unobstructed drawing of the cutting head into the distal end of the sheath and also without damaging the sheath. The cutting head has an at least approximately semicylindrical outer surface (16) located between the maximal transverse cross-section and a most proximal end (18) of the cutting head. The semicylindrical outer surface serves to ensure a locating of the drive rod eccentrically relative to the sheath upon the drawing of the cutting head into the distal end of the sheath. Irrigation is optionally provided to aid in clot removal.

Title: System and method for wagering at fixed handicaps and/or odds on a sports event.
Inventor: MINDES BARRY M
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: Improvements are described for a data processing system and method that allows a betting "house" to maintain a betting pool on a contest involving two or more contestants by controlling the terms (the betting odds and/or handicaps) for the contestants so that bettors are encouraged to place bets that will bring the betting pool (the "book") into balance. The system and method provides for "hedging" of bets in light of changing betting terms, such that bettors can guarantee profits or minimize losses before the contest is complete. Incoming bets may be placed in a queue before being processed, and their effect on pool balance evaluated before accepting or rejecting the bets. Bets in the queue may be accepted only in matching sets on all of the participating contestants, so as to prevent any imbalance of the betting pool. Alternatively, the bets may be rejected with an indication of the change in betting terms which would be required if the bets are to be accepted. Bets may be placed on the finishing order of the contestants, such that there will be multiple winning bets for a single contest. This system and method can also be used to play games, where the contestants do not incur actual financial obligations.

Title: Controlling inductive power transfer systems
Inventor: STEVENS MICHAEL CRAIG
IPC: G05F1/30
Filed: 2005-05-11
Granted: 2008-04-02
Abstract: An inductive power transfer system comprises a primary unit operable to generate an electromagnetic field and at least one secondary device, separable from the primary unit, and adapted to couple with the field when the secondary device is in proximity to the primary unit so that power can be received inductively by the secondary device from the primary unit without direct electrical conductive contacts therebetween. The system detects if there is a substantial difference between, on the one hand, a power drawn from the primary unit and, on the other hand, a power required by the secondary device or, if there is more than one secondary device, a combined power required by the secondary devices. Following such detection, the system restricts or stops the inductive power supply from the primary unit. Such a system can detect the presence of unwanted parasitic loads in the vicinity of the primary unit reliably.
