Abstract: Method and device for determining a proximal arterial blood pressure waveform in a person, starting from a distally measured arterial pressure waveform, by first applying age-dependent waveform filtering to the distal pressure waveform, in order to obtain the proximal pressure waveform with mutually correct systolic, diastolic and mean pressure levels, and by then shifting the filtered pressure waveform by means of calibration to the correct proximal pressure level, for example by calibration of one level of the filtered systolic, diastolic or mean pressure levels with the corresponding proximal pressure level. This can be a single noninvasively measured systolic or diastolic or mean pressure level. The age for the purpose of the age-dependent waveform filtering is derived from the distally measured pressure waveform, for example by means of a trained neural network. The level shift in the filtered pressure waveform can be obtained by means of a regression equation which has entered in it only the filtered pressure waveform with corresponding systolic and diastolic pressure levels, or the above combined with a noninvasively measured single brachial pressure level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The pouch is formed of first and second thin barrier film walls welded along the periphery to form a waste receptical. One wall has an inlet defined by an attachment ring. The ring mounts the pouch on an adhesive faceplate adapted to adhere to the skin surrounding the stoma. A membrane, formed of material which is gas permeable but transmits little moisture and no liquid, is situated between the walls to separate the receptical into an inlet chamber, where solids, liquid and most moisture are retained, and an outlet chamber into which gas and a small amount of vapor passes. A filter is provided to permit the gas to exit the outlet chamber. A first section of superabsorbent material isolates the filter from the outlet chamber. By absorbing any moisture in the gas before it contacts the filter, blockage of the filter is prevented. A second section of superabsorbant material is provided near the bottom of the output chamber to absorb moisture which otherwise may cause the membrane to stick to the pouch wall, resulting in a substantial reduction of the gas transmissibility of the membrane.

Abstract: The lithographic affinity characteristics of a material, such as a polymer, are affected-and thereby selectively modulated-through implantation of one or more metallic materials, typically in the form of ions and/or atoms (or molecules). The desired characteristics are achieved by bulk chemical modification of the material rather than by texturing or deposition of a new surface layer. In the case of a polymer system, for example, the metal impregnates the matrix, penetrating to an observable depth without substantial surface accumulation.

Abstract: An electrostatic microactuator, known as a "Scratch Drive Actuator" or SDA, is based on a collective set of distributed elementary SDAs of small size that are associated with one another and that integrates a large number so as to allow the addition of the forces generated by each of the SDAs in the collective set. An external mechanical prestress, formed by a homogeneous external pressure in the form of a bias voltage applied at rest to the associated SDAs, is applied to the SDAs to allow a superposition of the forces generated by the associated SDAs. This is done while communicating to an external load the entire driving force emanating from the collective behavior of the SDAs. The electrostatic attraction forces established by the bias voltage are used to calibrate an individualized prestress for each actuator involved in the collective set. Such an electrostatic microactuator forms part of an active three-dimensional microcatheter, as one possible application, that can be used in a blood vessel.

Abstract: A method and system for recognizing user input information including cursive handwriting and spoken words. A time-delayed neural network having an improved architecture is trained at the word level with an improved method, which, along with preprocessing improvements, results in a recognizer with greater recognition accuracy. Preprocessing is performed on the input data and, for example, may include resampling the data with sample points based on the second derivative to focus the recognizer on areas of the input data where the slope change per time is greatest. The input data is segmented, featurized and fed to the time-delayed neural network which outputs a matrix of character scores per segment. The neural network architecture outputs a separate score for the start and the continuation of a character. A dynamic time warp (DTW) is run against dictionary words to find the most probable path through the output matrix for that word, and each word is assigned a score based on the least costly path that can be traversed through the output matrix. The word (or words) with the overall lowest score (or scores) are returned. A DTW is similarly used in training, whereby the sample ink only need be labeled at the word level.

A control interface (38) reduces the power dissipated by the selected element. This may be achieved by: selecting one of two power supplies having the lower voltage; reducing a clock frequency; modifying a threshold voltage of a transistor in the element in response via a voltage regulator; selecting one of two devices in parallel connected to a lower power supply voltage. The logic component may be a an instruction handler (30) which identifies whether an instruction uses the element or which processes a power down instruction the element. The element may an arithmetic logic unit, an adder, a register or a transistor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A phosphorescent or light-reflective member is disposed on a holder supporting an elongated light-gathering optical fiber formed of a light-gathering fluorescent plastic material. The sight is adaptable for use on rifles, handguns, bows, and other weapons requiring an aiming indicia. The light-gathering fluorescent optical provides a brilliant dot that is readily identifiable under bright light conditions, and the phosphorescent or light-reflecting member provides a supplemental light source which serves to provide an illuminated dot under low-light or dark conditions. The sight 10 effectively solves the problem of providing electrically-powered light sources for illumination of the aiming indicia under low light or dark conditions, or the requirement to precisely align the fiber or hollow tube with a light source disposed at the distal end of the fiber or tube spaced from the viewing end of the fiber or tube.
