Abstract: A piston-type drive mechanism in combination with a positive pressure reservoir for delivery of infusion medium. A coil capable of being electrically activated to provide an electromagnetic field. The coil surroun ds a piston channel extending in an axial direction. The piston channel provide s a passage for communication of infusion medium from the positive pressure reservoir to an outlet chamber. A piston is located within the piston channe l and is moveable axially within the channel to a forward position. The piston is moved toward a retracted position, when the coil is not energized. As the piston is moved to its forward position, pressure moves a valve member into an open position. When the valve member is in the open position, medium from th e piston chamber is discharged into the outlet chamber. An outlet is provided in flow communication with the outlet chamber, for discharging infusion medium from the outlet chamber.

IPC: H01L23/057
Filed: 2004-01-09
Abstract: A semiconductor for power transistors and the like has a heat sink flange with at least one die mounted thereon, a non-ceramic window frame mounted thereon adjacent to the die, and a plurality of leads mounted on the window frame and electrically coupled to the die by wire bonds. The non-ceramic based window frame is thermally matched to copper or other highly conductive material typically used for the flange, to facilitate assembly of the semiconductor package at high temperatures. The non-ceramic based window frame is flexible and is thermally matched to the highly conductive flange so as to expand and contract at a rate similar to the flange to prevent failure during assembly of the semiconductor package. The non-ceramic based material of the window frame includes a matrix of principally organic material, such as polytetrafluorethylene, filled with fibers which may be glass fibers or ceramic fibers. The matrix is clad in a metal such as copper or aluminum, and may be coated with nickel and gold to facilitate bonding of the window frame to the flange and the leads with gold/germanium solder. The window frame may also be bonded to the flange using epoxy. Cladding of the window frame may be performed by laminating copper or other cladding material on the matrix in a sufficient thickness so as to form the flange. The flange may be provided with a pedestal extending upwardly from an upper surface at a central position thereof to define a die attach area and forming a barrier to brazing material used to join the window frame to the flange.

IPC: C07K16/24
Filed: 2004-02-17
Abstract: A microbial adherence inhibitor in the form of fowl egg antibodies is disclosed, along with the method of making it and methods of using it. The inhibitor functions by substantially preventing the attachment of adherence of colony-forming microorganisms in the respiratory tracts of host animals and humans. The colony-forming microorganisms include Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica, Haemophilus somnus and Haemophilus suis.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système d'éclairage programmable comprenant une multitude d'éléments d'émission de lumière et un système de commande qui répond à un flux d'entrée de données hiérarchiquement codifiées. Le système de commande détermine et fournit les signaux de commande appropriés pour gérer les caractéristiques de la lumière produite par la multitude d'éléments d'émission de la lumière couplée de manière opérationnelle. Le flux d'entrée de données peut utiliser un protocole de réseau DMX512 ou autre et peut être codifié hiérarchiquement en variant la valeur du code de DÉMARRAGE des paquets de données. Lorsqu'un paquet de données DMX512 ou autre ayant un code de DÉMARRAGE NUL ou « couleur » est reçu par le système de commande, ce dernier interprète les trames comme étant des données de réglage de l'intensité où chaque trame correspond à un élément d'émission de lumière particulier ou à un groupe d'éléments d'émission de lumière. Le paquet couleur peut fournir des données pour la génération d'une séquence de couleurs temporelles particulières ou une séquence de couleurs temporelles aléatoires ou toute autre séquence de lumière. Lorsqu'un paquet de données DMX512 ou autre ayant un code de DÉMARRAGE NON NUL ou un paquet de « service » est reçu par le système de commande, le système de commande peut interpréter chaque valeur de code de DÉMARRAGE indépendamment et peut attribuer au moins un attribut au système de commande ou modifier au moins un attribut du système de commande, par exemple le mode de fonctionnement ou un numéro d'adresse ou de série peut être attribué ou modifié selon la valeur du code de DÉMARRAGE.

Abstract: The "Toilet Bowl Quick Attach Fan" is a device used for filtering offensive air from toilets. The device features a curved air intake vent which is used to attach to the toilet bowl. A DC Voltage Motor and Turbine Fan is contained within the device and is used to draw in then filter out offensive air using a carbonated filter, which is activated by a Pressure Switch. This switch is activated when pressure is put on the toilet seat, pushing down on the devices on/off switch.  Once activated, the fan will continue to run as long as there is pressure on the toilet seat. When pressure from the toilet seat is released, the Delay Module allows the fan to run for a set period of time.  The device is designed to run with a rechargeable DC battery pack that is integrated into the device.  Only the filter needs to be replaced periodically.

Title: Ion mobility separation devices
Inventor: FERNANDEZ DE LA MORA JUAN
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2004-02-21
Abstract: The invention describes a system and a method to separate ions (and charged particles) suspended in gas based on their ion electrical mobility. Most common ion mobility analyzers involve two parallel plate (or concentric cylinder) elements (electrodes) (200 and 210 in Fig. 2) between which is imposed an electrical field perpendicular to a sheath gas flow field between the cylinders. Separation occurs because high mobility ions tend to follow the electric field while low mobility ions tend to follow the flow field (260 and 280 in Fig. 2). This invention describes various configurations of electrical elements and sheath gas flow fields for ion mobility separation devices with unique performance characteristics. These characteristics include devices in which: the ion inlet and outlet (630 and 625 in Fig. 6A) are on the same element; the inlet and outlet are at the same voltage; the outlet is upstream from the inlet; the outlet is on the axis; the inlet is on the axis; and the ions are focused on the outlet.

IPC: H04B10/293
Filed: 2006-01-20
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for controlling a gain of an optical fiber amplifier. Gain circuitry operates in an opened loop configuration and uses a predetermined function relating a power variation of at least one wavelength region with a pump power adjustment for at least one optical pump. Two approximate linear relationships between the input signal power variations and the required pump power adjustments are utilized in controlling the Raman fiber amplifier. Each approximate linear relationship includes at least one linear coefficient that relates a power variation for a specific wavelength region and a power adjustment of a specific Raman pump. The dynamic gain control technique is applicable to an Erbium-doped fiber/waveguide amplifier. Also, a dynamic gain control technique controls a backward-pumped Raman amplifier, in which the power variation is determined at one geographical location and the optical pumps are controlled at another geographical location.
