Title: Patient condition display
IPC: G16H30/40
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: Data from a plurality of sensors representing a patient's condition, including the measurement signals and also secondary parameters derived from the measurement signals, are displayed in a simple way by mapping them from the multidimensional measurement space to a two-dimensional visualisation space. This can be achieved using a mapping which preserves the topography of the data points, for instance by ensuring that the inter-point distances in the visualisation space match as closely as possible the corresponding inter-point distances in the measurement space. Such a mapping, for instance Sammon's mapping is achieved by a suitably trained artificial neural network. The parameters are normalised before the mapping process and the normalisation and mapping are such that mapped points from a patient whose condition is normal appear in the centre of the visualisation space, whereas points from a patient whose condition is abnormal appear at the edge of the visualisation space. The artificial neural network may be trained using data points from a single patient or from a group of patients, and data may be thinned out using a pre-clustering algorithm. <IMAGE>

Title: Pouring spout feature
IPC: B65D5/74
Filed: 2001-10-20
Abstract: The invention describes a pouring spout device, comprising a reclosable closure, and a spout fitment having a planar base and a tubular side wall defining a pouring zone therein and a flap disposed at a lower end of the side wall, a cam follower extending upward from said flap, wherein the closure retained on said fitment has an end wall and a tubular side wall, wherein the end wall has a first cam depending therefrom and engageable with said cam follower, and wherein the first cam contacting the cam follower during rotation of the closure. To avoid breakage of the cam follower, when the reclosable closure is replaced on the spout fitment, a second cam is formed on the reclosable closure and disposed radially outermost of the first cam. When the cam follower reaches the end region, it can move radially inwardly returning to the surface of the first cam.

Title: Semiconductor light-emitting device and video display adopting it
IPC: F21S2/00
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: An LED technology is adapted to a video display in order to ensure high image quality. A semiconductor light-emitting device having a flip-chip structure is adopted as a light source. Polarized light of white light or of each of red, green, and blue light waves, of which one polarized light component is converted to become consistent with the other component, is radiated from the light source. In the semiconductor light-emitting device, a light transmissive substrate or a quarter-wave phase difference plate that turns the direction of polarization, and a reflective sheet polarizer that reflects one of P-polarized light and S-polarized light and transmits the other polarized light are disposed on the light-emitting side of an LED chip light emitter formed on a reflecting electrode. The direction of polarization of polarized light reflected from the reflective sheet polarizer or reflecting electrode is turned by the substrate or quarter-wave phase difference plate so that it will be aligned with the direction of polarization of the other polarized light. The resultant polarized light is transmitted by the reflective sheet polarizer and then radiated from the semiconductor light-emitting device.

Title: Data processing arrangements for use in data communication apparatus in connection with error correction
Filed: 2007-10-31
Abstract: A processing arrangement of a data communication apparatus is arranged to derive an ordered plurality of modulo-2 summations of respective selections of data bits of a binary data set. The data communication apparatus may either be transmitting apparatus with the processing arrangement serving to determine a target syndrome for subsequent use in error correction, or receiving apparatus with the data processing arrangement being arranged to effect error correction of received data. The processing arrangement effects its selections of bits from the binary data set in accordance with the interconnection of nodes in a logical network of nodes and edges that together define at least a continuum of cells covering a finite toroid. The structuring provided to bit selection by this continuum can be offset by randomness provided by other structures of the network and by the random association of bits of the binary data set with the nodes of the continuum.

Title: Monitoring efficiency of liquid pumps
IPC: G01K7/12
Filed: 1987-10-10
Abstract: A method of monitoring the efficiency of a liquid pump (10) uses the temperature drop across the pump (10).

Title: Apparatus having piezoelectric actuator,and method of controlling the piezoelectric element
IPC: H02N2/06
Filed: 1989-05-05
Abstract: A system for controlling a piezoelectric element whose strain varies with a voltage applied thereto and which has a residual strain left after removal of the voltage, such that a difference in the amount of the residual strain before and after an energization of the piezoelectric element varies depending upon a hysteresis of the piezoelectric element before the energization. The system is adapted such that at least one preliminary energization of the piezoelectric element is effected, prior to a primary energization cycle of the piezoelectric element, at least where the difference is equal to or larger than a predetermined value. The primary energization cycle includes at least one primary energization of the piezoelectric element for attaining a desired function. The disclosed system is capable of eliminating an error of the actual amount of residual strain of the piezoelectric element from the nominal value, which may arise from different operating conditions of the element, such as energization time, time duration between successive energizations, and temperature variations of the element. <IMAGE>
