Title: Snap connecting inner modules for an electric utility meter
Inventor: BALLARD HENRY
IPC: G01R11/04
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: Improved electric utility meter with an integrated structure (50) uses a minimum number of parts without requiring the use of screws, clips or other additional parts that make meter disassembly a tedious procedure. Meter casing includes a baseplate (64), at least two inner covers (52, 54) for housing and protecting electronic components of electric utility meter, an outer cover (62), and pluralities of projections extending from the covers for interconnection of casing components and stabilization of the integrated casing structure. The various electronic components of the meter includes electronic circuit boards (56) and current transformers (60). Casing module is secured and stabilized by interconnecting the outer cover (62) with other inner covers (52, 54), thus safeguarding against possible snap deflection. The additional use of cantilever springs and containment ribs (66) helps to ensure that the inner casing components will not move within the overall casing structure.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of manufacture for dissolvable and nondissolvable drug-containing dosage-forms for noninvasive administration of medicaments through mucosal tissues of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus of a patient. The dosage-forms are particularly useful in the transmucosal delivery of central nervous system affecting drugs in a dose-to-effect manner such that a sufficient dose is administered to produce a desired effect. A dissolvable drug-containing dosage-form includes a binding agent that is formed into a solid matrix dissolvable in the mouth of the patient, and a pharmacologically effective dose of a central nervous system affecting drug dispersed throughout the matrix. A nondissolvable drug-containing dosage-form includes a drug containment matrix that is nondissolvable in the mouth of the patient, and a central nervous system affecting drug incorporated into the nondissolvable matrix. The dissolvable and nondissolvable drug-containing dosage-forms may include permeation enhancers capable of modifying the permeability of the mucosal tissues of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus in order to facilitate transmucosal absorption of the drug.

Abstract: A fuel cell stack (10) includes a first sub-stack (12), a second sub-stack (14), and a third sub-stack (16) disposed in the flow direction of an oxidizing gas. An intermediate plate (18a) is interposed between the first and second sub-stacks (12, 14), and an intermediate plate (18b) is interposed between the second and third sub-stacks (14, 16). In this fuel stack (10), the flow of an oxidizing gas is set such that the oxidizing gas flows in series in the direction from the first sub-stack (12) to the third sub-stack (16).  Between the sub-stacks additional oxidizing gas supplies (70,74) are provided through which oxidizing gas of lower humidity than the humidity of the oxidizing gas entering the first sub-stack is supplied. This arrangement allows an efficient management of the humidity water content of the oxidizing gas with sufficient moisturizing of the solid polymer membrane whilst avoiding excessive condensation of water vapour within the stack.

IPC: G01V3/32

Abstract: A method of reducing ringing artifacts in a nuclear magnetic resonance measurement is provided. The method utilizes a new pulse sequence that offers ringing cancellation opportunities as well as compensation for otherwise accumulating spin dynamics errors. Ringing cancellation is accomplished by forming linear combinations of spin echoes induced as a result of the pulse sequence. Because the linear combinations are formed between closely spaced spin echoes (i.e., echoes within the same sequence), the likelihood that the ringing artifact will have changed between measurements is diminished.

Abstract: A stretch therapy apparatus (10) provides for enhanced physical fitness as well as rehabilitation and medical treatment by allowing the user to increase core flexibility and shoulder flexion. The stretch therapy apparatus (10) includes both a hip locking mechanism that retains the user's hips securely so that he or she may then rotate about his or her spine to grasp a grip (35) (i.e., handle, vertical pole, etc.) located outside the opposing hip and preferably located behind the user's opposite shoulder prior to beginning the stretch. One embodiment of the hip locking mechanism allows the user to easily and safely separate his or her legs by 180 degrees or more using a hand crank or motorized mechanism. Alternatively, the hips and pelvis may be locked in place by the legs being restrained and the hips pushed against an object such as the back of a chair. For core flexibility enhancement, preferably the grip (35) is moveable to varying locations so that increases in the user's flexibility can be realized and positive feedback can be provided. A series of grips may also be used whereby progress is charted by being able to reach to further and further grips. Resistance training may also be employed wherein the grip may be affixed to a weight stack for either pulling the user's arm across his or her chest, or the weight can be lifted after achieving the stretch. For shoulder flexion enhancement, the user will grasp a grip located on the same side of his or her body and lift the user's elbow towards vertical.

Abstract: A method of sowing a somatic plant embryo or germinant of a conifer species to facilitate subsequent development of the embryo or germinant into an autotrophic seedling. The method involves the following steps carried out ex vitro in non-sterile conditions: providing a nutrient medium comprising particles of a solid component present within a flowable or semi-solid component containing water and a carbohydrate nutrient for the embryo or germinant, dispensing a quantity of the nutrient medium onto a surface of a porous solid growth substrate for the somatic plant embryo or germinant, and contacting the plant embryo or germinant with the nutrient medium. The nutrient medium has a fluidity such that at least some of the flowable or semi-solid component containing the carbohydrate nutrient remains in contact with the embryo or germinant at least until the embryo or germinant establishes vigorous growth under environmental conditions effective for such growth. The particles of the solid component are adapted to remain in contact with the embryo or germinant after of the flowable or semi-solid material dissipates, thereby providing continuing physical support for the embryo or germinant after the dissipation. The invention also relates to seedlings produced in this way and to the nutrient solution.
