Title: A vehicle door latch device with double acting mechanism
Inventor: WATANABE HIROFUMI
IPC: E05B85/24
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: A vehicle door latch device has a double action mechanism in which an inner lever <B>55</B> connects to an inside handle, a release lever <B>61</B> effects unlatching and a slide link <B>64</B> is connected at <B>66</B> to an unlock operating lever <B>52</B>. When the device is locked (<B>fig. 7</B>) the link <B>64</B> is held by lever <B>52</B> in a position in which a pin <B>65</B> does not connect the levers <B>55</B> and <B>61</B>. During a first handle operation the lever <B>55</B> engages the lever <B>52</B> to unlock the device and a blocking surface <B>59</B> thereon restrains link <B>64</B> until the lever <B>55</B> has returned. The link <B>64</B> is then moved by spring <B>70</B> until levers <B>55</B> and <B>61</B> are connected (<B>fig. 8</B>) and a second handle operation can move the lever <B>61</B>. Variations of the device for anti-theft and child-locking are disclosed.

Title: Heart monitoring apparatus having low power and main memory devices
Inventor: HARRIS THOMAS JOHN
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2000-05-09
Abstract: A heart monitoring apparatus and method is disclosed in which an electrocardiograph signal is obtained from a patient and digitized. The digitized electrocardiograph signal is stored directly into a low power memory device which has a capacity to store the electrocardiograph signal for only a most recent period of time. Thus the low power memory device continuously receives the electrocardiograph signal and continuously overwrites the oldest stored electrocardiograph signal in the memory device. A processor is provided for analysing the stored electrocardiograph signals to generate processed cardiac data. The processed cardiac data and the electrocardiograph signals used to obtain the processed cardiac data are stored in a main memory device. The processor is responsive to a processing instruction signal to enter a high power mode of operation to read and process the electrocardiograph signals stored in the low power memory device and to store the processed cardiac data and the associated electrocardiograph signals in the main memory device. Once processing of the electrocardiograph signals over a period of time has been completed, the processor returns to a low power mode of operation to wait for the next processing instruction signal.
