IPC: H02H3/20
Filed: 2014-01-10
Abstract: A method, device, and system for mitigating the effect of a power spike on a protective device. The device can receive an input signal and determine whether the input signal exceeds a threshold value. If so, the device simultaneously starts an initial time period and starts a latch time period, where the latch time period is greater than the initial time period. During the initial time period, the device replaces the input signal with a set value signal. After the initial time period ends and during the remainder of the latch time period, the device prevents the input signal from being replaced by the set value signal. If, during the remainder of the latch time period, the input signal exceeds the threshold value, a trip signal may be generated by a protective device.

Title: Water safety shut-off valve
Inventor: BURLAGE BRIAN J
IPC: F16K21/16
Filed: 2015-07-14
Abstract: The present invention is a water conservation safety shut-off valve assembly for use on locations which normally have intermittent water usage but need to indicate when there is constant water usage, such as a leak. The valve assembly has a valve body with a fluid pathway and a valve plug held in an open position allowing water to flow through the pathway.  As water flows through the pathway, a sensing device detects water flowing through the pathway and starts a timer. The valve closes the pathway, stopping the flow of water through the valve assembly when the time elapses. The valve assembly indicates whether the valve plug is in an open or closed position.

The device is adapted to collect from the individual the biological sample to be tested. The test device comprises noble metal nanoparticles (i.e. gold, silver or copper) to detect the entity. Test results are read from a window in the device. The current visual limit using aggregated noble metal nanoparticles is a clump having a diameter in a range of about 50nm to about 75 nm. One or more ligands specific for the entity are attached to two or more metal nanoparticles. Each individual nanoparticle has a diameter in a range of about 15nm to about 35 nm. Ligands attached to the nanoparticles and specific for the entity can be for example antibodies, antibody fragments, oligonucleotides, and aptamers. Different ligands specific for different sites on the entity may be used in order to increase the aggregation potential of the nanoparticles in the presence of the target. The testing is conducted within the device after sample collection. The results of assay are available promptly. Conditions that can be tested include for example viral infections, bacterial infections, exposure to toxins, and drug use. Detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is described by example.

Abstract: The prior auscultation technology is only applicable to the sound signals within the audio range and conducted by vibration. Disclosed in the present invention are a method and an apparatus for auscultating inaudible signals, and thus inaudible signals can be mapped into the audible range to form audible signals. The method comprises: obtaining signal data, comprising audible or inaudible signal data; extracting a signal waveform from the signal data; determining a play rate which allows the signal waveform to phonate by means of an audio play apparatus; and playing the auscultation with the signal waveform through the audio play apparatus at a play rate, or combining the play rate and the signal waveform to thereby constitute an audio signal, and then playing the audio signal through the audio player so as to achieve auscultation. When the method and apparatus of the present invention are applied, auscultation can be achieved on physical parameter changes expressed by any available wave-shaped curve, which promises to extract information which would have been difficult to find within the inaudible signal in the prior art and promote the development of science and technology innovations.
