Title: Customized orthopedic device for distributing pressure
Inventor: KHOURY STEVEN M
IPC: A43B7/22
Filed: 2005-01-12
Abstract: The present invention alleviates pain and discomfort from a limb of a patient by redistributing pressure on the limb. The present invention involves an orthopedic device (10) for redistribution of pressure exerted on a limb of a patient. The device comprises a pressure-absorbing member (13) and a breakable container (23) disposed in the pressure absorbing member. The pressure absorbing member is contoured to cooperate with the shape of the limb. The pressure absorbing member has a pressure receiving cavity formed therein. The breakable container is disposed in the pressure receiving cavity and includes a reactant molding material. The breakable container has a predetermined elastic threshold to allow the breakable container to break at a high pressure area and to allow the reactant molding material to disperse from the high pressure area upon pressure exertion on the breakable container by the limb.

Title: Processing pose data derived from the pose of an elongate object
Inventor: GONZALEZ-BANOS HECTOR H
IPC: G01B11/26
Filed: 2005-01-27
Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing pose data derived from a pose of an elongate object such as, for example, a jotting implement, a pointer, a robotic arm or a cane. The elongate object has a tip contacting a plane surface with one or more invariant features. The pose of the elongate object is measured optically from on-board by an optical measuring system with the aid of the invariant feature. The pose is used for preparing a corresponding pose data and a subset of the pose data is identified and transmitted to an application such as a user application, where the subset can serve as command data or input data. Since the elongate object moves while its tip is contacting the surface the pose is measured periodically at sufficiently frequent measurement times ti to describe the motion at a desired temporal resolution. The subset can include all or a portion of the orientation data that describe the orientation of the elongate object in space and/or position data of the tip on the surface. The position can be a relative position of the tip with respect to any feature or its previous position, or an absolute position in world coordinates. The subset can also contain a mix of orientation and position data.

Title: Apparatus and method for generating a multi-channel output signal
Inventor: HILPERT JOHANNES
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2005-05-12
Abstract: An apparatus for generating a multi-channel output signal performs a center channel cancellation to obtain improved base channels for reconstructing left-side output channels or right-side output channels. In particular, the apparatus includes a cancellation channel calculator for calculating a cancellation channel using information related to the original center channel available at the decoder. The device furthermore includes a combiner for combining a transmission channel with the cancellation channel. Finally, the apparatus includes a reconstructor for generating the multi-channel output signal. Due to the center channel cancellation, the channel reconstructor not only uses a different base channel for reconstructing the center channel but also uses base channels different from the transmission channels for reconstructing left and right output channels which have a reduced or even completely cancelled influence of the original center channel.

Patent CA-2580793-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DUBEY DAVID W
IPC: G01N27/38
Filed: 2005-08-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for conditioning a sensor (100) to measure an oxidation reduction potential of an aqueous solution (104) such that the time to obtain a reliable oxidation reduction potential measurement is substantially reduced.  Such conditioning is often necessary when the sensor (100) is moved from potentiometric equilibrium (e.g., the sensor is cleaned, the sensor is exposed to air, and the like). The method may comprise generating a current through a measurement electrode (108) and a reference electrode (112) of the sensor (100) for a duration of time. A reliable oxidation reduction potential measurement can be made as the voltage across the measurement electrode (108) and the reference electrode (112) stabilizes after the duration of time.  Depending on the aqueous solution (104), the stabilized value can be constant or variable.
