Abstract: In a respiratory protection mask with a face mask part (2) and, associated with the latter, an air disinfection device (3) comprising a housing (4) exhibiting an input communicating with the environment, and further an output communicating with the internal area of the face mask part (2) and whose internal area is designed as an air irradiation chamber (16) provided with at least one LED light source (6) emitting UV light, a high user-friendliness is achieved in that the LED light source (6) is arranged on a slide (7) which is detachably receivable in an associated frame (8) provided on the housing side and open towards the air irradiation chamber (16).

Abstract: A topically applied composition or cream for treatment of the skin. A preferred composition includes a) a skin plumper; b) a tetrapeptide; c) a soya plant extract; d) Centella Asiatica extract; e) a cosmetic soothing or anti-inflammatory component; f) a component that acts on fibronectin synthesis; g) a moisturizing component; h) a structured conditioning component; i) an emulsifier component; and j) a transdermal delivery agent.

Abstract: A non-rotating anatomical-shaped breast implant having a front side with a smooth surface and a rear side with a textured surface. A smooth surface ripples or wrinkles little, if at all. Rippling or wrinkling of the implant may undesirably produce a visible or palpable waviness on the skin of the breast. A smooth surface is more likely to produce the look and feel of a natural breast. A rear side with a textured surface is desirable because tissue growth of the body, after the implant has been implanted, engages the textured surface to anchor the implant in place such that the front side with the smooth surface remains matched with the front side of the body and such that the anatomical-shaped breast implant with its tear drop shaped fullness remains at a natural position within the breast. The disclosure further includes a method for minimizing the rotation of an implant within the body and a method for making an implant envelope that has different thicknesses.

Abstract: A triggering pin is connected between the steering column cover and the ignition switch lock, or a glass bead is held between the ignition switch lock and the ignition switch lock mounting assembly, of an automobile including a steering column lock. When either the steering column cover in the area of the ignition switch lock or the ignition switch lock itself is removed, the triggering pin or bead, connected to a trigger wire, triggers a switch that removes power from a propulsion system function necessary for the driving of the vehicle. In addition, where the automobile includes a conventional security system, the triggering of the security device trips a switch to provide power to the conventional security system. Power may also be provided to a hood lock spliced onto the hood release cable that, when actuated, prevents the cable from moving.

Abstract: A patient monitor sheet device of simplified construction permits the accurate measurement of respiration, heart beat, and body position with a minimum of intrusion on the subject. Sensors are located in a bed sheet with which a subject comes in contact. One sensor produces a signal corresponding to respiratory induced, pulmonary motion, and myocardial pumping sounds. A second sensor produces a signal corresponding to changes in body position. A processor amplifies and filters the induced signals resulting in resolved output highly correlated to respiration rate, heart beat rate, and changes in body position.

Abstract: A motor vehicle theft protection system employs a pre-set distortion in the vehicle timing system to preclude unauthorized access to the vehicle. The system uses a key containing codes corresponding to the timing off-set. Without the codes, the timing off-set prevents operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus and system for the controlled delivery of a subliminal video and/or audio message on to a source signal from a video tape player or similar. The source signal is divided into audio and video portions. A video processor reads sychronization information from the source signal. A controller transmits a stored subliminal image at designated times to a mixer amplifier fully synchronized with the source signal. Concurrently, an audio subliminal message is applied to the source audio at a volume level regulated at some fraction to the source audio. The combined signals are transmitted to a monitor for undistracted viewing.

Abstract: A system for processing a repeating complex waveform that removes or reduces a significant portion of artifacts and other noise from the desired source signal. The system employs a phase detector for isolating artifacts from the source which are then used in processing the ECG waveform. The method and apparatus is especially useful in processing ECG signals reflective of heart conditions. The resulting clean signal makes accurate diagnosis of pending patient condition faster and more reliable.

Abstract: A cardiac monitor system reads an EKG signal and conditions the EKG waveform in a manner that accentuates the information on ST segment location, within the waveform. ST segment location is used to modulate pulse width of a generated square wave permitting fast and accurate access to information regarding ST segment elevation and depression.

Abstract: A portable cardiac monitor analyzes the PQ and ST portions of an electrocardiogram waveform and establishes a "normal" or standard ST ratio deviation of the difference between the ST and PQ levels. When a subsequently measured ST ratio deviation exceeds the previously stored normal value, an alarm is indicated indicating a possible ischemic condition. The pulse rate may also be monitored to provide an alarm whenever the pulse rate rises above or falls below a predetermined value.
