Filed: 2000-01-19
Granted: 2004-03-30
Abstract: A nasal spray composition and method of use for the treatment of a variety of viral infections, including the common told. The effective ingredient in the treatment is the compound L-Lysine monohydrochloride (lysine). The crystalline lysine is ground into a fine powder and dispersed in an aqueous medium. The solution is dispensed using an atomizer that delivers a fine mist. When used at specified time intervals throughout each 24 hour period, the duration of cold symptoms or symptoms of other common viral infections is noticeably diminished. There are no side effects and no toxic levels of lysine. The nasal spray composition is quite stable and non-irritating.

Abstract: A financial transaction apparatus (30) includes a financial transaction machine (32). The machine includes devices (34) including transaction function devices (42, 44, 46, 48) for carrying out operations associated with financial transactions. The terminal also includes an imaging device (50) and an audio input device (52), as well as a visual output device (36) and an audio output device (54). Terminal (32) is connected to a computer (68) which has an associated data store (70). The data store includes user data including image data and voice data corresponding to authorized users. The identity of a customer operating the machine is determined by resolving first identity data based on image signals from the imaging device which correspond to a user's appearence. Second identity data is resolved by the processor from voice signals from the audio input device corresponding to the user's voice. The computer enables operation of the transaction function devices if the level of correlation between the first and second identity data is sufficient to establish that the image and voice signals originate from a single authorized user.

Abstract: An image data transmission system reduces a delay resulting from compression processing of image data. The image data transmission system comprises cameras for compress encoding image data and transmitting compress-encoded image data, a decoder, a control device, monitors, and a LAN. Upon selection of a camera from the control device for control, the control device acquires information on capabilities of the cameras through the LAN. When a function which is affected by a delay due to the compress-encoding is used from among functions of the controlled camera, compress-encoding that reduces the delay is performed in the camera.

Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a zipper pull of resilient body which is attached to a slider in a lateral direction thereof and capable of sliding the slider by rotating the zipper pull slightly so that the zipper pull is held in a stabilized state. A zipper pull mounting portion is provided on a top surface of a slider body and a connecting body of a zipper pull is disposed in a lateral direction relative to the mounting portion. The connecting body is comprised of two lateral bars disposed in parallel and vertical bars connected to both ends thereof so as to be protruded longitudinally. One of the vertical bars is buried in the zipper pull of resilient body so as to form a fixing portion. The zipper pull has an annular shape for surrounding the slider body. The lateral bars of the connecting body are inserted into the mounting portion. When a free end of the zipper pull is lifted up, the fixing portion is rotated and at the same time, the free vertical bar of the connecting body is lifted up, so that a locking pawl lever of automatic locking mechanism connected to the lateral bars is lifted up, thereby allowing the slider to slide. When the slider is locked, the zipper pull is fallen onto the slider body so that it can be maintained in a stabilized condition without swinging freely.

Abstract: A device for transplanting trees or bushes having at least two spades that can be adjusted against each other.      These spades can be set between an open and closed position by means of a pair of attached servo-drives. When in the open position, the spades are removed from each other by a space corresponding at least with a diameter of the tree or the bush to be transplanted. When the spades are in their closed position, they complement each other, forming a partial spherical cup. To reduce the resistance of the spades as they penetrate the soil, the cutting blade of the spade has the shape of a corrugated ground edging. These corrugated ground edges have alternating elevations and recesses, whereby the elevations of the cutting blade provide sufficient stability and safety against breakage. The ground surfaces than oppose each other on these spades are disposed on alternating sides to allow the cutting blades to overlap.

Abstract: A system and a method for detecting the presence of an occlusion in an intravenous (IV) line supplying a medicinal liquid to a patient. Two pressure occlusion sensors are employed to produce a value for the proximal and distal pressures within an IV pumping cassette that is disposed in the fluid path of the IV line. Each pressure occlusion sensor includes a strain gauge connected to a leaf spring that is fixed at one end within a pump chassis and a rod that is disposed transverse to the leaf spring. Each rod has one end that responds to the force of a portion of an elastomeric membrane inside the pumping cassette and another end that contacts a free end of the leaf spring. When a leaf spring is flexed by the movement of a rod, the strain gauge mounted on the leaf spring produces a differential voltage that corresponds to a fluid pressure within the pumping cassette. The distal pressure occlusion sensor automatically opens a flow stop on the pumping cassette when the pumping cassette is inserted into the pump chassis. The outputs fro m the distal and proximal pressure sensors are sampled at least once per second to ensure that maximum pressure values are not exceede d and that a pressure sensor failure is immediately detected.

Abstract: A bidirectional check valve controls movement of fluid. A valve body has an opening, a further opening and a passage connecting the opening and the further opening.  A poppet is disposed within the passage of the valve body, and a spring is coupled to the poppet. A further poppet is disposed within the passage formed in the first mentioned poppet, and a further spring is coupled to the poppet and to the further poppet. When fluid passing through the opening in the valve body exerts a force on the poppet that is greater than the spring force, the further portion of the outer surface of the poppet is directed away from the further portion of the wall of the passage and permits the fluid to flow from the opening in the valve body through a channel and to the further opening in the valve body. When fluid passing through the further opening in the valve body exerts a force on the further poppet that is greater than the further spring force, the further portion of the outer surface of the further poppet is directed away from the further opening in the valve body to open a further channel in the poppet and permit the fluid to flow from the further opening in the valve body through the further channel, at least one opening in the further poppet, a further passage in the further poppet, a further opening in the further poppet and an opening in the poppet to the opening of the valve body.
