Patent EP-0512018-A4 (EP)
Title: Stimulator for surface stimulation in paralyzed patients
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 1990-11-26
Abstract: The system of the present invention is a stimulation system (100) for providing upper-motor-neuron paralyzed patients with capabilities of unbraced standing and unbraced walking, which consists of a single pulse power and amplifier (103) that outputs various trains of stimulation pulses and which is totally under microprocessor (104) generation and control, where the microprocessor's microcomputer selectively performs multiplexing of the pulse trains and their selective alternate distribution to the various surface electrodes attached to the skin of the patient at the appropriate stimulation locations. It also controls pulse-width, pulse-duration, pulse-amplitude and pulse-shape. Furthermore, the system can compute and activate (audible and/or visual) warning signals to warn the patient when the system is close to its maximal output. This would happen when muscle fatigue is such that no further increase in stimuli level can keep the patient upright. The system computes and outputs indications of the various stimuli levels to a visual display, and it provides automatic fail-safe and override capabilities to help ensure that the patient does not fall in case of major circuit or system failure or misactivation. This is a critical capability since this system will be used by paraplegics who lack sensation in their lower extremities.

Title: A dual fuel injection system and a method of controlling such a system
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 1991-11-20
Abstract: A dual fuel injection arrangement for an internal combustion engine (1). Fuel is injected into the inlet manifold ducts to each engine cylinder via injectors (4, 5, 6, 7). An arrangement of valves allows selected supply of either a first fuel or a second fuel to the injectors (4, 5, 6, 7) via inlet fuel rail (8) and branch lines (9). Excess fuel is returned to each supply by way of return line (11). Electronic control units (31, 32) determine injection timing for the selected fuel dependent upon engine parameters for the first fuel and upon an adjusted timing for the second fuel where the adjustment takes account of the different characteristics of the second fuel compared with the first fuel. In particular there is disclosed an arrangement where the first fuel is gasoline and the second fuel is a liquified gas.

Title: Automatic line trimmer head.
Inventor: EVERTS ROBERT C
IPC: A01D34/416
Filed: 1991-10-29
Abstract: A line trimmer head (10) for a vegetation cutter having an automatic line feed mechanism which replenishes the line (19) as a result of changes in centrifugal force. The line trimmer head (10) comprises a reel housing (14) which rotates with a shaft (12). A spool (18) containing a supply of line (19) is located within the housing (14). An indexer cam (16) is journaled on the shaft (12) and is axially and rotatably shiftable with respect to the shaft (12). The indexer cam (16) is periodically axially shifted and rotated by a reduction in the centrifugal force applied by the line (19) to the spool (18). A spring (20) is provided to bias the indexer cam (16) axially relative to the housing (14) away from an interlocked position. In the interlocked position, the indexer cam (16) and housing (14) are interlocked together so that the spool (18), indexer cam (16), housing (14) and shaft (12) rotate together. The indexer cam (16) is shifted axially to cause the indexer cam (16) to be disengaged from the housing (14) allowing the spool (18) and indexer cam (16) to rotate relative to the housing (14). As the spool rotates a predetermined incremental amount relative to the housing, an increment of line (19) is fed from the spool (18). Centrifugal force applied by the line (19) may be reduced by either a reduction in the length of the line (19) or by a reduction in the speed of rotation of the shaft (12).

Title: Chemical vapor deposition of diamond films using water-based plasma discharges.
Inventor: RUDDER RONALD A
IPC: C30B29/04
Filed: 1992-11-05
Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique (process and apparatus) for the growth of diamond films using vapor mixtures of selected compounds having desired moieties, specifically precursors that provide carbon and etchant species that remove graphite disclosed. The selected compounds are reacted in a plasma created by a confined rf discharge to produce diamond films on a diamond or a non-diamond substrate. In a preferred embodiment a gas phase mixture including at least 20% water which provides the etchant species is reacted with an alcohol which provides the requisite carbon precursor at low temperature (300 DEG -650 DEG  C.) and low pressure (0.1 to 10 Torr), preferably in the presence of an organic acid (acetic acid) which contributes etchant species reactant. In the preferred embodiment the volumetric mixtures have typically been 40-80% water and 60-20% alcohol. The gaseous mixture of H2O and alcohol is dissociated to produce H, OH, and carbon radicals. Both OH and atomic H are capable of etching graphite from the depositing carbon layer. The selected compounds are reacted in a CVD apparatus in which a confined rf discharge is used to create an electric discharge or plasma. The plasma is confined between an inductive rf coil via transformer isolation from the chamber ground.

Title: Method of monitoring patient compliance with medications prescriptions
Inventor: KELL MICHAEL
IPC: G01N33/493
Filed: 1994-10-19
Abstract: A method of monitoring compliance of a patient that has been placed on a medication maintenance program with a prescribed medication dosage by determining a normalized urine medication concentration. An unadulterated urine sample is obtained from the patient. The urine medication concentration and urine specific gravity are measured. The normalized urine medication concentration is calculated as a function of the measured medication concentration in the urine and the urine specific gravity. The calculated normalized urine medication concentration is compared with an expected medication concentration value for the patient for the maintenance program prescribed to determine any significant differences therebetween as an indication of noncompliance. Alternatively, a urinary-parameter normalized urine medication concentration is calculated as a function of the measured medication concentration in the urine, the urine specific gravity and at least one selected pharmacokinetic parameter of the medication. The calculated urinary-parameter normalized urine medication concentration is compared with an expected medication concentration value for an average compliant patient for the maintenance program prescribed to determine any significant differences therebetween as an indication of noncompliance.

Abstract: A partition feeder has a multi-rack assembly for holding more than one reserve stack of partitions. The partition feeder has a main stack of partitions which is forced against a set of tabs and which has its partitions removed by a selecting apparatus. When the main stack has been reduced down past a certain amount, one of the reserve stacks is automatically moved into alignment with the main stack and the partitions in the reserve stack are added to the main stack. The partition feeder has guide rails that are received in notched sides of the partitions, thereby suspending the partitions on the guide rails. An inner frame, upon which the guide rails are mounted, is adjustably mounted to a middle frame to thereby permit the adjustment of the distance between the guide rails. The middle frame is adjustably mounted to an outer frame to permit the vertical adjustment of the mass feeder. The partition feeder can therefore be easily adjusted for partitions of different sizes.
