Title: Detection of electrode patient motion and fast restore limits
IPC: A61N1/365
Filed: 1993-01-05
Abstract: A defibrillator/monitor (10) is disclosed employing a motion detection circuit 18 and control and processing circuit (20) that cooperatively detect motion at a patient-electrode interface. In that regard, an impedance measurement circuit (24) produces an output indicative of the impedance of the interface. This output is then processed by a number of filter elements before being analyzed by a motion detection routine (52). The motion detection routine includes subroutines (62 and 64) that compare the impedance against distinct upper and lower limits and then monitor the time at which the signal is above and below the limits. Basically, motion is indicated if the signal undergoes relatively large variations for a short time, or smaller variations for a longer time. A third motion clear subroutine (66) is used to determine when motion is no longer detected. Finally, a similar scheme (102) is employed to quickly restore the various filter elements after saturation. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Title: Container and closure with in-turned seam
Inventor: HEKAL IHAB
IPC: B29C65/46
Filed: 1995-08-23
Abstract: Closing of a metal container and the like using a special end closure. The open end portion of a container is outwardly folded to define a supporting ledge and a seaming or curling flange for the end closure. Such flange is folded or rolled inwardly to capture an end closure including a plastic frame that defines a dispensing opening and has bonded thereto an end panel to be peeled back to allow dispensing of product. A seaming flange is folded about a peripheral portion of an outer boundary of the frame member and then the two are enfolded generally flat above the supporting ledge of the container to form an inwardly directed seam. A modified end closure comprises a molded plastic frame member which matches the configuration of a ledge portion of the container so the seaming flange and peripheral border portion of the frame member can be rolled together in an inwardly directed curl. The closing operations can be performed without axial pressure on the container wall so they can be thinner than normal. Inwardly directed seams and curls protect the plastic end closure from damage caused by closing tools because dies and/or chucks contact the flange portion of the container rather than the end closure. A seal between the inwardly turned seam or curl and the border portion of the frame member can be enhanced by applying heat during formation thereof or during retorting of the container and product.

Filed: 2000-05-24
Abstract: A pole, such as for a parking meter, that is reinforced by a hardening compound applied to its surface, preferably in vertical strips, to prevent theft, and a method of anchoring the pole or other upright object. The hardening compound is preferably a solder that is applied to the external surface of the pole by welding. Once it cools, this hardening compound cannot be cut with an ordinary hacksaw. For esthetic purposes, and to prevent rust to the pole, a PVC pipe with a slightly greater diameter than the pole is placed over and around the pole. In a preferred embodiment, the pole is welded to a base plate, with hollow metal cylinders welded to and extending from an opposite surface of the plate. Holes are drilled (or otherwise formed) in a concrete (or other solid) surface, epoxy is inserted into the holes, the metal cylinders are inserted into the holes, and when the epoxy hardens the cylinders and base plate are bonded to the concrete. The base plate and cylinders can also be used to anchor other upright objects to a concrete surface. In the preferred embodiment, circular transverse holes are made in the top of the pole using a plasma cutter, and expander jaws are then welded to the interior of the pole, to securely attach the head of the parking meter to the pole.
