Abstract: A patient support apparatus which includes a firm body support portion constructed of foam, with the foam having a first side for placement on a bed or gurney, and the second side upon which the body of the patient would be laid. The foam apparatus would include a principal upper torso support portion for supporting a patient generally from the top of the patient's head to the lower buttock region of the patient; first and second leg portions which are attachable to a lower edge of the principal body support portion for supporting the legs of the patient, and attachable arm portions secured to the side edges of the upper body support portion for accommodating the arms of the patient.   The upper sides of the principal body portion, leg portions and arm portions would further include contoured regions which would reflect the general shape of the patient as the patient is laid on the patient's back on the apparatus, and would provide a soft yet firm support for the patient along the entire body region of the patient during transport. It is foreseen that in other embodiments, the apparatus may include a generally principal body support portion for supporting, for example, an infant in the support portion, which would support the entire length of the infant. Further, it is foreseen that the apparatus may be utilized in its separate components, depending on the extent of injury to the person being transported. Furthermore, other embodiments may include pockets formed within the principal body portion for inserting heating pads or other types of materials so that the patient may receive some form of treatment during transport or while the person is housed within an emergency medical facility awaiting treatment or is under specialized care.

Patent CA-2254739-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KATZ PAUL H
IPC: H04L1/24
Filed: 1998-12-01
Abstract: A BERT or a voice call ISDN communication dry loop path is automatically established between master and slave ISDN test sets by a connectivity routine that is executed with   only   minimal   preliminary   user/craftsperson participation, thereby facilitating use of the test set and minimizing  the  possibility  of  errors.  Bit  error  rate testing is conducted by causing a prescribed master - slave message exchange sequence to be automatically executed in response to a user operating a BERT key from a test set menu. A dry loop voice communications path is established over a selected bearer channel in response to the user operating a HOOK key in a conventional POTS  sense.  A dedicated bearer channel master-slave signalling sequence is  then  automatically  conducted without  further  user participation  to  establish  the  call,  including  the generation of ringing signals and turning on respective codecs at each master and slave device.

Inventor: BOMAR JOHN B JR
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 1999-02-03
Abstract: A system and method that utilizes information relating to vehicle damage information including damaged vehicle area information, crush depth of the damaged areas information, and vehicle component-by-component damage information to determine the relative velocities of vehicles involved in a collision. The change in velocity is estimated using a plurality of methods, and a determination is made as to which method provided a result that is likely to be more accurate, based on the damage information, and the types of vehicles involved. The results from each method may also be weighted and combined to provide a multi-method estimate of the closing velocity. The methods include using crash test data from one or more sources, estimating closing velocity based on the principals of conservation of momentum, and estimating closing velocity based on deformation energy resulting from the collision.

Filed: 1999-02-09
Abstract: Bodies (5) are driven along a predetermined course, possibly on corresponding rails by being coupled to a hauling means which is arranged substantially in parallel with the predetermined course with the help of pairs of co-operating coupling elements. The hauling means is e.g. designed as an endless hauling tape (1) guided over deflection rollers (2) and simultaneously serving as first coupling element. For the coupling function, the hauling tape (1) is elastically deformable perpendicular to its length, e.g. compressible and cooperates with a second coupling element arranged on the body (5) to be driven. The second coupling element is designed as a groove (6) matched to the hauling tape (1) having two open ends and extending in parallel to the predetermined course into which groove a length of the hauling tape is positionable. For coupling the body (5) to the hauling tape (1) these are guided towards each other such that the hauling tape (1) is pressed into the groove (6), whereby a displacement perpendicular to the predetermined course is prevented by suitable guide means (2, U). The bodies (5) to be driven can e.g. be designed as conveying means such that the device is applicable as a conveying device. of the filter media

Patent CA-2285867-A1 (CA)
Title: Gatekeeper transport address determination in an internet telephony system using a domain alias
Inventor: MA PATRICK SZECHING
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1999-10-12
Abstract: An Internet Protocol (IP) telephony system cross-references transport addresses of Gatekeepers using a domain name of the IP telephony system. In one embodiment, the IP telephony system is serviced by at least one Gatekeeper and the transport address for each Gatekeeper is stored on a Domain Name Server (DNS). An A record or other suitable record may be employed within the DNS to index the transport addresses of the Gatekeepers to the IP telephony system domain name.      When a calling endpoint desires to initiate a call to a called endpoint, the calling endpoint first queries the DNS for the transport address of a Gatekeeper servicing the IP telephony system. The DNS address retrieves a transport address for the Gatekeeper (or multiple transport addresses for multiple Gatekeepers) and returns the transport address to the calling endpoint. When querying the DNS, the calling endpoint may use an identifier such as subscribername@Gatekeeper.ABC.domain where the user name of the called endpoint is "subscribername" and the domain name of the IP telephony system is ABC.domain. Based upon the structure of the DNS query, therefore, the DNS determines that the query is for a Gatekeeper transport address and operates accordingly. The calling endpoint then sends a Locate Request to the servicing Gatekeeper at the transport address returned by the DNS. If the Gatekeeper receiving the Locate Request services the called endpoint, it returns a transport address for the called endpoint. If not it responds accordingly. When the DNS returns multiple transport addresses, the calling endpoint may access each respective Gatekeeper before retrieving the transport address of the called endpoint. With the transport address retrieved, the calling endpoint then initiates a call to the called endpoint.
