Title: Designing Rotary Clock Integrated Circuits
Inventor: WOOD JOHN
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: A method of designing integrated circuitry using rotary clocks by selecting a process technology and library of cells and performing a timing analysis for a design. The dimensions of the rotary clock are calculated based upon power and space constraints. The design is synthesized by converting all latch cells to dummy versions that have zero width. These cells are placed and routed in rows that fit between lines of the rotary clock then dummy latches are replaced with the cells and the analysis continues so that any excess latches can be removed. A netlist includes a list of logic gates, a list of registers and a list of interconnections between the gates and the registers. A clock skew schedule is computed to find the optimum clocking phase for each register. Cells are then placed so that logic gates are placed near registers whose setup and hold time they affect and the registers are placed near known phase taps of the rotary clock. A tap of the rotary clock is then selected for optimal clocking of registers based on the delays of logic path gates between registers.

Title: Engine cooling system with independent control of coolant supply through a cylinder head and a cylinder block
Inventor: PIDDOCK MITCHELL JAMES
IPC: F01P11/02
Filed: 2005-11-25
Abstract: A cooling system for an internal combustion engine comprises a cooling circuit including passages formed in a cylinder block 6 and in a cylinder head 10 of the engine and at least one conduit connecting the passages in the cylinder block and cylinder head to an inlet to a pump 1 used to circulate the coolant through the cooling circuit, where the pump is a variable flow rate pump controlled by an electronic control unit. The coolant passages in the cylinder block are connected by a first coolant supply conduit 5 to an outlet from the pump, the coolant passages in the cylinder head are connected by a second coolant supply conduit 4 to an outlet from the pump, and the flow through at least one of the first and second coolant supply conduits is controlled by an electronically controlled flow control valve 2, (103, figure 2) operably connected to an electronic controller which is used to control the opening and closing of the electronically controlled flow control valve. The flow through the other of the first and second coolant supply conduits has a predetermined flow restriction 3, (102, figure 2) to prevent unlimited flow therethrough. In this way, the flow through the cylinder block 6 and the cylinder head 10 may be independently controlled. The flow restriction may be formed by an orifice or by the use of a coolant supply conduit having a relatively small cross-sectional flow area. The electronic controller is preferably operable to monitor the outputs from a cylinder block temperature sensor 26 and a cylinder head temperature sensor 27 in order to control the cooling system.

Title: Peripherally-acting vasodilators
Inventor: CARTER STEPHEN G
IPC: A61K31/198
Filed: 2007-01-09
Abstract: A system for the delivery of chemical vasodilators into the skin for the purpose of increasing the blood flow in a tissue that exhibits compromised circulation. The designated purpose of this increased blood flow is to transiently reverse or inhibit or prevent the onset of an associated medical affliction that may in part or in whole, be either the consequence of that medical condition or participating in the clinical symptoms and etiology of that medical condition. The process and the effect of the topical delivery of a chemical vasodilator has been previously demonstrated for other medical and pharmaceutical applications, however the specific use of this class of drug molecules for the focused effect of improving blood flow to the skin and surrounding tissue with the goal of improving the metabolic health of the tissue and to possibly affect the symptoms of a medical condition is the specific aim of this patent.

Title: Processing of alarm and communication information in centralized patient monitoring
Inventor: DAVIS CARL C
IPC: G16H40/63
Filed: 2007-06-22
Abstract: A system and a method allowing a technician to monitor the condition of a plurality of patients and communicate their condition to an attending clinician. A centralized receiving station receives signals from each of the patients being monitored. A graphical user interface 10 simultaneously displays an indication of patient condition for each of a plurality of patients. The technician monitors the physiological condition of the patients, reviewing any alarm signals that are sent for verification before notifying the clinician via a communications transmission. When the clinician responds to the transmission with his own response transmission, the response is indicated on the monitoring display 10. If the clinician does not send a response transmission the technician will move to an escalated communications transmission until the clinician sends a response transmission back to the central monitoring station. The single informative display simplifies the cognitive load on the technician; does not rely on the technician's memory; allows for greater continuity of health care support between changes of technician: and allows for greater prioritising of patient alarms ensuring that a low priority but currently unattended alarm will not take priority over a more critical alarm.
