Patent number: 5858215Abstract: The combination of a water filter and a display for indication of the water filter condition includes an electrical circuit connected to the display and responsive to use of the water filter. The circuit includes a microcontroller, a timer connected to the microcontroller and providing timing signals thereto, and a switch connected to the microcontroller and responsive to the flow of water from the filter to cause the microcontroller to process the timing signals. The microcontroller is programmed to utilize the timing signals to provide an electrical signal to the display indicative of filter condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1996Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: Moen IncorporatedInventors: Thomas H. Burchard, Gregory Hunter, Kevin M. Johnson, John Lofgren, Henry N. Wagner, Lee A. Mercer

Patent number: 5823229Abstract: A faucet having multiple water discharges includes a housing, an input water connection for the housing, a stream discharge on the housing, a spray discharge on the housing, a filtered water discharge on the housing, a water filter within the housing, and a control valve in the housing connected to each of the water discharges. There is an unfiltered water flow path from the input water connection to the control valve. A manual actuator accessible from the exterior of the housing operates the control valve to direct water from the unfiltered water flow path to either the stream discharge or the spray discharge. There is a filtered water flow path from the input water connection, through the filter, to the control valve. A filtered water manual actuator accessible from the exterior of the housing operates the control valve to direct filtered water to the filtered water discharge.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1996Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Moen IncorporatedInventors: John E. Bertrand, Lee A. Mercer, Thomas H. Burchard, Gregory Hunter, John Lofgren, Henry N. Wagner, Kevin M. Johnson, Jeffery Karg

Patent number: 4772791Abstract: The effectiveness of drugs and substances that affect brain chemistry can be efficiently and relatively inexpensively monitored. Radioactive tracer substances comprising a ligand that binds to presynaptic or postsnaptic neuroreceptors is administered to a patient. Emissions (primarily positrons, and gamma rays which are emitted from the positrons) are measured. These emissions are indicative of the number and the degree of occupancy or blocking of the neuroreceptors. The number of neuroreceptors and the degree of occupancy or blocking is calculated utilizing a mathematical model, and compared with an intra-person or inter-person control, to determine the degree of drug response. Further treatment of the patient with drugs is based upon the comparisons made. Dopamine, serotonin, opiate, and other receptors all may be monitored, and the procedures are particularly applicable to treatment of Parkinson's disease, schizophenia, and drug addictions.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1987Date of Patent: September 20, 1988Assignee: Johns Hopkins UniversityInventor: Henry N. Wagner, Jr.

Patent number: 4197836Abstract: A built up image illustrating blood volume in the heart versus time taken over many cardiac cycles is produced by continuously displaying a graph of cumulative data indicating the amount of radioactivity from a tracer in the blood detected in the heart during each of a series of intervals into which the average cardiac period is divided. The parallel lines of a raster scan display correspond respectively to the memory channels. The count stored in a particular memory channel causes the video signal for the corresponding line to be maintained at a binary level for a corresponding time interval thus generating a bar graph in which the length of each bar indicates the amount of radioactivity sensed during the corresponding interval of the cardiac cycle. As each memory channel accumulates radioactivity data with each successive cardiac cycle, each bar displayed in the bar graph lengthens to indicate the cumulative activity until an interpretable curve is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1978Date of Patent: April 15, 1980Assignee: Bios Inc.Inventors: Henry N.
