Abstract: An Automatic Prescription Pill Dispensing System for home use provides a locked cabinet in which prescription drugs are pre-loaded into a pill array according to the users medication regime using a specially designed pill cartridges. The bottom of the array consists of a series of sliding panels which selectively permit pills to drop into a dispensing location under control of a microcontroller. Certain prescription pills are available upon demand, while other prescription pills are available at preset time intervals only. Visual and audible alarms alert the user when the prescription pills are available to be removed from the dispensing location. A timer ensures that prescription pills which are not removed by the user within a pre-set time are removed from the dispensing location to a holding bin, thus ensuring that pills may only be removed at the appropriate time. Pills are loaded into special pill cartridges, one type of pill per cartridge and stored in a locked drawer in the unit. This pill cartridge approach simplifies the loading of the main pill array. A removable portable unit attached to the main dispensing system provides a day's medication when the user is away, from the main dispenser for the day. A maintenance unit works in conjunction with the main dispenser to set the time and perform maintenance functions on the Main Dispensing System. A pill cartridge loading tray simplifies the loading of the pill cartridges.

Inventor: KRIMMEL HEINZ
IPC: H04B10/61
Filed: 1997-11-06
Abstract: Stationary interference signals from radio stations, for example, enter a transmission network (NET), e.g., a coaxial cable network with return channel, and impair the transmission of broadband signals, e.g., data, in the upstream frequency band, since they lie in the same frequency range. The tranmitting/receiving unit (SE1) of a terminal (END) contains a receiving unit (EMP1) for receiving frequency values of stationary interference signals induced in the transmission link, a memory (MEMO1) for storing the received frequency values, a generator (SG1, NG1) for generating a spreading function with spectral zeros at frequency values which are determined from the stored frequency values, and a multiplier (MUL1) for multiplying the broadband signals to be transmitted by the generated spreading function with spectral zeros. The spectral zeros are so generated that, if the spreading function with the spectral zeros is multiplied by the individual interference signals, at least one of the spectral zeros is located in the frequency range of the broadband signals, so that when the broadband signals are despread at a center (ZE), the impairment caused by the interference signals is reduced.

Abstract: A novel apparatus for preventing miswiring of GFCI devices is disclosed. The invention is insertable into the receptacle portion of either a single or duplex GFCI  device is operative to provide visual and/or audible indication to an installer or user that a miswiring condition is present. The invention comprises an elongated strip constructed of a nonconducting material such as plastic. The strip includes prongs attached to it either on one or both ends for retaining the strip within the receptacle of the GFCI device. A protruding button is positioned on the inner surface of the strip such that when the device is inserted into the GFCI, the button maintains the test button in a depressed state. This insures that the GFCI will be tested upon initial application of electrical power after installation. If the GFCI is not wired properly, visual and/or audible alarm indicators signal a miswiring condition to the installer.

Patent CA-2236500-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and arrangement for electromagnetic wave distance measurement by pulse transit time method
Inventor: MICHALSKI BERNHARD
IPC: G01S7/285
Filed: 1998-05-01
Abstract: For  electromagnetic wave distance measurement  by the  pulse transit time method short electromagnetic transmission pulses are  emitted  at periodic transmission  instants.  The  signals received in selected transmission cycles after the respective transmission instants are sampled for obtaining in each of these transmission cycles a sample at a sampling instant in a respective  sampling  time  interval,  each  sampling  instant having a delay dictated by a sampling function relative to the respective transmission instant. The sampling instants exhibit differing  delays  relative  to  the  respective  transmission instant so that the samples in sequence produce an image of the sampled received signal extended in time. The sampling function dictating the  delays  is  generated  by  a  computing  circuit, preferably a microcomputer, thus making it possible to make use of any sampling function and to modify sampling of the received signals  in  any way.  More  particularly,  it  is  possible  to measure the applied delays and to correct them to maintain predetermined design values. One sampling function which can be put to use to advantage in this method is a staircase function, each step of which has the length of several sampling time intervals.

Patent CA-2262431-A1 (CA)
Title: Auto-tuned, adaptive process controlled, injection molding machine
Inventor: BULGRIN THOMAS C
IPC: G05B19/416
Filed: 1999-02-23
Abstract: An injection molding machine uses a summed, multi-term control law to control ram velocity during the injection stroke of a molding cycle to emulate a user set velocity profile. An automatic calibration method sets no load ram speeds to duplicate user set ram speeds. Finite impulse response filters produce open loop, no load control signals at advanced positions on the velocity profile to account for lag in system response. An adaptive, error term indicative of load disturbance, observed from a preceding cycle is added at the advanced travel position predicted by the finite impulse response filter to produce a predictive open loop, load compensated control signal. Finally, an auto tuned PID controller develops a real time, feedback load disturbance signal summed with the open loop control signal to produce a drive signal for the machine's proportioning valve.
