Abstract: A shunt system for implantation into a patient for diverting excess fluid fr om the lateral ventricles of the patient's brain to a diversion site. The present shunt includes a pressure transducer for measuring ICP, a rate of flow transducer for measuring the flow rate of the CSF flowing within the shunt, and telemetry circuitry. A remote reader with an antenna is provided to selectively interrogate and provide inductive power to the implanted shunt. Upon interrogation, the pressure and rate of flow measurements are calibrated, multiplexed and transmitted on a carrier signal back to the remote reader/antenna. The reader/antenna extracts the pressure and flow rate data from the carrier wav e and further separates the data by demultiplexing the signal. The reader further includes a barometer for providing local barometric pressure and uses this information together with the data from the implanted transducers to calcula te and display real-time adjusted ICP, CSF flow-rate within the shunt and brain compliance.

Abstract: Upon detecting (101) (via an animate object detector (506)) an animate objec t, these teachings provide for automatically and responsively transmitting (102) a remote light control signal and also selectively controlling (103) local lighting (505). This can comprise temporarily switching the local lighting to a higher power mode of operation (such as a fully--on mode of operation) from a lower power mode of operation (such as a fully-off mode of operation). These teachings will further accommodate determining (301) a relatively closeness of the animate object to the remote control. When the detected animate object is more than predetermined distance from the remote control, the local lighting can remain in the lower power mode of operation. When the detected animate object, however , is within that predetermined distance from the remote control, then the aforementioned step of switching the local lighting to the higher power mode of operation can be undertaken as described.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for monitoring the flow of ore in block cave mining operations by inserting an active magnetic transponder 1 into the ore body 12 and generating an alternating magnetic signal with the transponder 1. The ore is monitored with a magnetometer (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) to detect the magnetic flux emitted by the transponder 1 thereby determining the position of the transponder. Successive recordings of the position of the magnetic transponder are taken as it moves along with the ore as it "caves". In this way, the flow patterns of the ore may be revealed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for damping of tower-oscillations.     According to the inventive method for damping of tower--oscillations a rotation is transformed into electrical power by a generator (M), which is located on top of the tower. The electrical power is transformed from AC to DC and back to AC  by a converter (CONV). A power-reference-signal (PowerRef) is used by the converter (CONV) to control the delivered electrical power. A variable power-offset-signal (PowerOffset) is added to the power-reference-signal (PowerRef), before it is used for control. The variable power-offset-signal (PowerOff--set) is based at a mean value of the power-reference-signal (powerRef) and is based at a side-by-side-oscillation of the tower.
