Patent EP-1874402-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MASCHINO STEVEN E
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2006-04-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus for treatment of an eating disorder includes electrically, mechanically and/or pharmaceutically/chemically stimulating a of the vagus nerve of the lower esophagus, cardia, esophageal/cardia junction, cardia/fundus junction or upper stomach so as to induce afferent action potentials on the vagus nerve. The device may be noninvasively adjusted after implantation to provide increased or decreased restriction on the patient's gastrointestinal tract. Each stimulus may be administered as a series of programmed pulses of defined amplitude, duration and period, to evoke a responsive signal to the brain by the target nerve, effective for producing a temporary feeling of satiety in the person. An implantable stimulus generator may be operatively coupled to a nerve electrode, pressure device or chemical outlet to apply a defined signal to a selected nerve branch. The implantable stimulus generator is programmable to allow clinician programming of defined signal parameters effective to treat the eating disorder of the patient. Methods are also provided to identify electrodes nearest to a branch of the vagus nerve to apply an electrical stimulation signal with improved efficiency.

Abstract: When an operating state constituted of a rotation speed Ne and torque Te of an engine belongs in a resonance region in a post-stage including a damper connected to a crankshaft of the engine, a subtraction sine wave for removing an influence by resonance is calculated (S310), and misfire is judged depending on whether or not a variation amount ΔF of a rotation speed F(N30) after processing, obtained by subtracting the calculated subtraction sine wave from a variation in 30-degree rotation speed N30 which is a rotation speed every time the crankshaft rotates by 30 degrees, is less than a threshold value Fref (S320, S330). Thereby, even when the operating state belongs in the resonance region, misfire can be judged more reliably and more accurately.

Abstract: Methods and systems for diversity processing based on antenna switching are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include switching among a plurality of antennas in a multi-antenna wireless terminal to receive packets. An antenna may receive a number of packets before switching to another antenna, where the number of packets may be pre-determined or dynamically determined. The received packets may be diversity processed where portions of a plurality of the received packets may be combined to form a single data packet. Similarly, antenna switching may also be used to transmit packets. For example, a data packet may be apportioned to a plurality of packets, and each of those packets may be transmitted via the antennas. Accordingly, if the number of packets to transmit is one, each antenna may transmit one packet, and the antenna switching may select another antenna with which to transmit a packet.

Abstract: In an optical encoder which is designed to convert light generated from a light source into parallel light rays by using a collimator lens, thereby allowing the collimated light to radiate to gratings (a first grating, a second grating and a third grating), a diffusion means (a diffusion plate or a diffusion surface) is provided between the light source and the collimator lens to mitigate the parallelization degree of light, thereby weakening the second-order and the third-order or high-order diffraction light. Thereby, even where a light emitting diode (LED) or laser diode (LD) is used as the light source, a favorable interference output can be obtained.
