Title: Method and system for providing safe patient monitoring in an electronic medical device while serving as a general-purpose windowed display
Inventor: SMOKOFF TIMOTHY L
IPC: A61B5/044
Filed: 1995-02-17
Abstract: A method and system for providing safe patient monitoring in an electronic medical device while serving as a general-purpose windowed display isprovided. In a preferred embodiment, an electronic medical device is capable of providing services to executing programs in response to requests for services from executing programs. These requests for services each specify a service to be provided. The electronic medical device ensures the integrity of an executing patient monitoring program while simultaneously providing services to a non-patient monitoring program that is executing. The electronic medical device provides the service specified by each request for services from the executing patient monitoring program and declines to provide services as they are specified by requests for services from the executing non-patient monitoring program if provision of the service as specified would interfere with the executing patient monitoring program. In one embodiment, the electronicmedical device omits to provide any service in response to a request for services from the executing non-patient monitoring program that specifies a service that wouldinterfere with the executing patient monitoring program. In one embodiment, the electronic medical device provides a service specified by the executing non-patient monitoring program in a manner different from that specified in the request for services, where the service provided in the different manner does not interfere with the executing patient monitoring program.

Abstract: A first pilot signal is superimposed onto an input signal to thereby distribute the signal as a first signal and a second signal to two destinations.  The first signal is fed via an equalizer to a main amplifier  for amplification thereof such that a second pilot signal is mixed with the amplified signal to attain a main amplification signal. Subtraction is conducted between the second signal and the main amplification signal to extract a distortion signal to be fed via an equalizer to an auxiliary amplifier so as to produce an auxiliary amplification signal.  Between the main and  auxiliary  amplification  signals,  there  is  effected subtraction to attain a differential signal.   The pilot signals are detected according to the differential and output signals.   The equalizers are controlled to set the pilot signals to a minimum value.  Consequently, there is achieved a linear amplifier obtaining a stable amplification signal with reduced distortion in a wide band.

Abstract: In a rotary earth drill in which sockets are welded to and spaced around a head and drill bits are removably mounted in the sockets, the sockets having a surface exposed to abrasion when the drill is rotated in the earth, a shield in the form of a shroud or jacket is provided, removably mounted on the socket, and extending around the otherwise exposed surface of the socket to protect the socket surface from abrasion.  When the shield itself becomes worn, it can easily be removed, in much the way in which the bits are removed, and replaced.  In order to accommodate the weld by which the socket is secured to the drill head, the shield is provided with a slot, open at at least one end.  The slot is wide enough to permit side edges defining the slot to straddle the weld.

Title: Method for measuring the usability of a system
Inventor: GHAHRAMANI BAHADOR
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1995-04-20
Abstract: A  method  for  quantitatively  and  objectively measuring the usability of a system.  The method provides quantitative measures for usability satisfaction, usability performance,   and   usability   performance   indicators. Usability satisfaction is measured by acquiring data from a system user population with respect to a set of critical factors that are identified for the system.   Usability performance is measured by acquiring data for quantifying the statistical significance of the difference in the mean time  for an Expert population to perform a task on a particular number of trials and the estimated mean time for a Novice population to perform the task on the same number of trials. The estimated mean time is calculated according to  the  Power Law of  Practice.    Usability  Performance Indicators include Goal Achievement Indicators, Work Rate Usability Indicators, and Operability Indicators which are calculated according to one or more measurable parameters which  include  performance  times,  numbers  of  problems encountered, number of actions taken, time apportioned to problems, learning time, number of calls for assistance, and the number of unsolved problems.

The rust-preventing additive may be a sparingly soluble chromate, or a mixture of silica and a sparingly soluble chromate having a silica/chromate ratio of from 35/5 to 1/39.     The combination of the resin composition forming the organic resin film and the rust-preventing additive produces an outstandingly high corrosion resistance in a rust-contaminated environment.

IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 1995-08-16
Abstract: A method and system are provided for restricting the use of a vehicle such as anautomobile to a person or persons whose fingerprints match biometric data stored within a memory in the vehicle's control system. A user's digitized fingerprints are stored in a non-volatile permanent ROM in the BIOS of a microcontroller on in a ROM accessed by a microprocessor. The microprocessor's primary task is that of executing instructions related to the operation of the vehicle, such as regulating the fuel flow rate, and performing other such tasks. Before the microprocessor can execute its instructions related to its primary task it must complete and exit a conditional loop of instructions that relate to validating a user's "real-input" biometric data. Real scanned fingerprints must be compared with fingerprint(s) stored in ROM. If the result of the compare is a true, i.e. is a match, then the conditional loop is satisfied and the microprocessor can execute its instructions relating to operating the vehicle.

Abstract: A drive apparatus for reversible movements of an actuator (9) is provided with a drive element made from a shape memory alloy with one-way effect. The drive element acts upon a lever (1) rotatable about an axle (2) in opposition to the force of a resetting element, wherein the lever (1) can be used as a coupling member for converting a deformation of the drive element into a movement of the actuator (9). The drive element is a winding (8) with a plurality of turns of a wire (7), wherein the turns are fixed and arranged mechanically parallel between an anchor point (6) and the lever (1) so that the lever (1) is rotatable about the axle (2) by means of a deformation of a turn, and the tractive force acting upon the lever (1) by means of the drive element results from the individual forces of the turns of the winding (8) acting mechanically parallel upon the lever (1). The diameter of the wire (7) is advantageously approximately equal to the standardised diameter of the crystalline grain of the shape memory alloy in the austenitic state.
