Patent EP-2347802-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TUTMARK BRADLEY C
IPC: A63B37/12
Filed: 2011-01-12
Abstract: A method for customizing a golf ball, and associated kits, are provided. The method includes steps of heating a golf ball that has a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer material making up the cover layer, and then cooling the golf ball at a preselected rate so as to change the degree of crystallinity. The change in degree of crystallinity allows the golf ball to achieve different play characteristics. The change is reversible by repeating the method, and the method may be repeated many times using the same golf ball. Kits used to carry out the method may include a golf ball having a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer material for the cover layer, a graphical representation of how the cooling relates to the desired play characteristics, a stand for holding the golf ball, a heater, and an additive that aids in heating or cooling the golf ball.

IPC: A61B5/364
Filed: 2011-06-20
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to implantable medical devices and more particularly to systems and methods for automatically determining ST windows for ischemia detection. At least one IEGM signal is obtained representative of cardiac behavior of a patient over a period of time and followed by calculating a derivative signal of the IEGM signal. The R-wave is identified in the derivative signal and the derivative signal data following the identified R-wave is analyzed so as to find portions of the derivative signal comprising samples having lower values than a predetermined threshold. Further, a portion of the derivative signal including samples having lower values than the threshold is determined to correspond to a ST window for that cardiac cycle if that portion fulfills predetermined requirements. A reference ST window based on a number of determined ST windows is determined. Using the reference ST window, ischemia can be detected by comparing IEGM data in the reference ST window with current IEGM data from a segment of the IEGM signal corresponding to the reference ST window.

Title: Method of and apparatus for welding at least two workpieces for hybrid laser arc welding
Inventor: NOWAK DANIEL ANTHONY
IPC: B23K9/173
Filed: 2011-07-07
Abstract: A method of and an apparatus (10) for welding workpieces (12,14) together by conducting a forward hybrid welding process on a joint region (22) that includes a weld seam defined by and between faying surfaces (16) of the workpieces (12,14), and then conducting an aft hybrid welding process on the joint region (22). The forward hybrid welding process simultaneously causes a forward laser beam (32) and a forward electric arc (36) to travel along the joint region (22), which in combination penetrates the weld seam and forms a weld pool that solidifies to form a weldment (40). The aft hybrid welding process utilizes an aft electric arc (56) and an aft laser beam (34) to produce a second weld pool that remelts and mixes with the weldment (40). On cooling, a weld joint (30) is formed that is capable of deeply penetrating the weld seam of the joint region (22).

Abstract: A vapor hydrated packaged catheter assembly (10) and method of manufacturing and distributing same includes a gas impermeable package housing a catheter (14) within a catheter-receiving-cavity. The catheter assembly has a hydrophilic coating applied to at least a portion of the outer surface of a catheter tube or shaft which may be surrounded by a sleeve (20) to provide a no-touch, sure grip feature. The catheter assembly is disposed within the catheter receiving cavity of the package together with a limited amount of a vapor donating liquid provided as a source of vapor to activate the hydrophilic coating. The amount of vapor donating liquid is less than the amount that would otherwise be sufficient to cause a spill hazard. It may be loose liquid as a desired percentage of the volume of a tube- receiving portion of the catheter receiving cavity of the package, or it may be contained in a liquid sequestering element. The activation of at least some of the hydrophilic coating occurs solely by reason of exposure of the outer surface of the catheter to a vapor produced by the vapor donating liquid. The distribution of the catheter following manufacture is delayed for a time sufficient to permit the vapor to complete hydration of the entire hydrophilic coating on the surface.
