Title: Wetness monitoring system
Inventor: LANGE DAVID A
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wetness monitoring system that includes a data collection device that sends wetness measurement data to a central computer that detects changes in wetness measurement data caused by the presence of urine or other dielectric fluids. The data collection device includes a semi-reusable sensor and reusable data collector that are worn on a garment of the person. The data collector includes an internal power source so that the person can live a normal ambulatory life. The data collector has an electrical circuit that uses the changing resistance characteristics in the sensor to gather wetness measurement data. The data collector periodically generates and transmits a signal containing the actual wetness measurement data. The signals are coded to identify the particular data collector or person sending the signal. The data collector is programmed to conserve power by sending signals less frequently during periods when the sensor is clearly dry. Signals are sent more frequently when the sensor is damp or a wetness event may have occurred. The central computer receives the signals containing the wetness measurement data and compares the measurement data to an adjustable wetness sensitivity level to determine if a wetness event has occurred. When the central computer determines that a wetness event has occurred, the computer displays the name of the particular person wearing the data collector and the approximate time that the wetness event occurred. The system then pages an appropriate healthcare worker to inform them that the particular individual needs attention and tracks the approximate response times to ensure that the patient is continuously receiving prompt care.

Title: System clock synchronisation using phase-locked loop
Inventor: YOUNG MATTHEW
IPC: H04M1/725
Filed: 2002-01-03
Abstract: An apparatus for synchronizing the system clocks of wireless devices in a digital communications system is presented. A digital phase-locked loop is employed. The phase-locked loop may include a counter which is incremented by a local device system clock and latched by a frame synchronization marker received from a remote device, whereby the counter output comprises a feed forward signal. The phase-locked loop may alternatively include a counter that reflects the level of data stored in receive and/or transmit FIFO buffers. The loop output signal controls the frequency of the system clock oscillator.

Title: Plumber's flange and method for using the same
Inventor: MAIMAN STEVEN
IPC: F16L5/10
Filed: 2002-01-15
Abstract: When running pipes or lines through a wall of a structure a hole is drilled in the wall during fabrication of the structure and then the line or pipe is run through the hole and to the outside of the building. Hose bibs or sill cocks typically include a faucet-like member and a base with notches located on opposite sides of the base. The hose bib attaches to the pipe and the hose bib is secured to the outside wall of the building usually by screws. A problem which frequently occurs with this practice, however, is that the pre-formed hole is too large so that the hose bib or sill cock cannot be secured to the wall. That is; there isn't anything to which the screws may attach. The present invention seeks to correct this problem by providing a flat, essentially diamond-shaped plate with a plurality of holes located therein. A hole larger than the other holes is located in the center of the plate. A hose bib having a base with notches located on opposite sides of the base is mounted to the plate so as to align the hose bib with the central hole. Each of the notches of the base is aligned with a hole located on either side of the central hole. Screws are then inserted into the notches and through their respective holes, thereby securing the hose bib to the plate. The plate is then secured to the wall.

Title: Device and method for measuring fluid and solute fluxes in flow systems
Inventor: CAMPBELL TIMOTHY J
IPC: G01P5/00
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for simultaneously monitoring the fluid flux, and the dissolved contaminants fluxes, in a flow field is provided comprising the use of a permeable unit containing an insoluble sorbent matrix that retains dissolved contaminants. The matrix may also contain tracers that can be displaced by the fluid flow. The method of monitoring comprises placing permeable units in contact with the contaminated flow field, thereby allowing contaminants to flow through the permeable unit and be sorbed on the insoluble sorbent matrix. Sufficient time is allowed for the contaminant concentrations in the flow field to reach equilibrium. The permeable unit is then removed from contact with the flow field and analyzed to determine cumulative contaminant fluxes and cumulative fluid fluxes.

Abstract: In an on-line financial data system, financial transaction data is provided to a user electronically via a connection such as the Internet. The system stores representations of the financial data for retrieval by an account holder. In order to retrieve or receive the financial information via the Internet, a user must first consent to receive the financial data in this manner. Consents are stored in the financial data system. When financial data is received by the system, a comparison is made with the pre-stored consents to determine if the data can be provided via the Internet. If so, then a corresponding paper-based version of the data is suppressed, that is, not sent to the account holder. Instead, a message having a pointer, e.g., a URL address, is provided to the account holder in order to allow the account holder access, via the world wide web on the Internet, to the financial data stored in the on-line financial data system.
