Abstract: An apparatus and method in which the portions of the labyrinth associated with the labyrinthine sense and/or the nerves associated therewith are stimulated to perform at least one of the following functions: augment or control a patient's respiratory function, open the patient's airway, induce sleep, and/or counteract vertigo. In one embodiment, the vestibular stimulating system of the present invention includes 1) a stimulation element that performs the actual stimulation of the tissue, 2) a sensor to detect a physiological condition of the patient, and 3) a power/control unit that receives the signals provided by the sensor and causes stimulation energy to be provided to the stimulation element at an appropriate timing, level, pattern, and/or frequency to achieve the desired function. However, the present invention also contemplates eliminating the sensor in favor of applying a predetermined pattern of stimulation to the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high voltage AC power supply circuit for a capacitive load C<SUB>L</SUB>, such as an electroluminescent lamp, includes a low voltage DC supply, an inductor L and a FET S in series. The FET S can be pulsed so that the inductor L generates a voltage to charge the capacitive load C<SUB>L </SUB>via an H-bridge H, which is in parallel with the FET S. A diode D prevents current discharging from the capacitive load C<SUB>L </SUB>while the FET S is closed. The total capacitance downstream of the diode D and in parallel with the capacitive load C<SUB>L </SUB>is less than the capacitive load C<SUB>L</SUB>, so that when the polarity of the H-bridge is reversed, the voltage across the H-bridge collapses to earth and the capacitive load C<SUB>L </SUB>is discharged via the low voltage DC supply. The circuits which a employ a large smoothing capacitor in parallel with the H-bridge.

Abstract: A training shoe for soccer includes a pressure-responsive sensor mounted with respect to a soccer shoe at a selected location, for example at the instep or along the laces at the top of the shoe. When a soccer ball is kicked at the selected location, the sensor provides an electrical signal to a microprocessor, causing selection logic in the microprocessor to choose one of several control words. The selected control word is provided to a voice playback circuit to select one of several digital data sets, each set corresponding to a different sound. The playback circuit provides an analog electrical control signal to a speaker, thereby generating a selected sound corresponding to the selected digital data set. System components can be mounted permanently to a shoe, or to a cover or strap arrangement releasably mounted to the shoe.

Abstract: In the preparation of ceramic composites with unidirectionally oriented reinforcing fibers, fiber strands or rovings of the reinforcing fibers are enveloped (sic) by polymer fibers or separated from each other by the polymer fibers, fiber strands/rovings are processed by addition of binder resin to give unidirectional reinforced carbon fibers -shaped bodies, and the bodies are carbonized to give carbon fiber reinforced carbon bodies.  In the preparation of ceramic composites with unidirectionally oriented reinforcing fibers, fiber strands or rovings of the reinforcing fibers are first enveloped (sic) by polymer fibers or are separated from each other by the polymer fibers, the treated fiber strands or rovings are processed by addition of binder resin to give unidirectional reinforced carbon fibers (CFR)-shaped bodies, and the bodies are carbonized to give carbon fiber reinforced carbon (CFRC) bodies. In the carbonization step, the polymer is completely or almost completely decomposed to give a residue of weight up to 10% of the inserted polymer, or is decomposed with formation of a carbon-containing residue comprising 10-60% of the weight of the polymers inserted in the form of fibers, whereby a pore/channel structure is formed , the volume ratio of the polymers to the fiber strands or rovings is 0.05-50 and/or the weight ratio of the polymers to the fiber strands or rovings is 0.1-25, and the CFRC body formed is finally infiltrated with liquid Si so that the liquid Si diffuses into the pores formed in the CFRC body, and at least partially combines with the carbon to form Si carbide.  An Independent claim is also included for a ceramic composite containing unidirectional reinforcing fibers obtained as above.
