Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to cable seal locks with a body assembly integrated with structures defining storage or transportation chambers or compartments or the closure member components therefor. A cable seal lock body assembly is integrated with a component defining a receptacle or a separate mounting housing. The housing, in one form includes a slot to receive a mounting strap. In other forms, the housing includes a mounting base and a separate top portion that receives the lock body assembly. The top portion and base are assembled after attachment of the base to a component of a storage compartment or closure member. The lock body housing prevents removal of the top portion from the base and the base from the component.

Abstract: A system of measuring the flow of a human or animal bodily action or fluid along or through a bodily flow conduit using two or more sensor means located on the body and along or around the path of the conduit is described. Bodily fluids whose flow is measurable by the present invention include blood, semen and urine. The present invention is a non-invasive way of measuring the flow of a bodily action or fluid along or through a conduit, such as pulse wave velocity. Pulse wave velocity in the brachial artery can provide an indication of vessel wall quality or stiffness, which in turn, can be used to indicate how an individual's vascular system is ageing. Disorders such as stenosis and complete occlusion can be diagnosed by accurate measurement of pulse wave velocity.

Abstract: The present disclosure shows a security lock arrangement for a covered access opening. It shows a cable seal lock body housed in the cavity of a housing that is welded to a structure defining a covered access. The cable of the cable seal lock passes through a latch for the access opening cover and through the lock body from which it cannot be removed without destruction of the cable. A new cable is usable with the lock body permanently mounted to the covered access opening structure.

Abstract: A system for identifying gases, the system having a plasma generator for generating a plasma using the gas to be identified and an array of detectors for detecting light emitted from the plasma. By analysing the output of the detectors, the gas can be identified. The system includes a plasma display (11) having two glass plates (36 and 38) patterned with strips that form the plasma electrodes. The intersection between the strips defines pixels which are individually addressable.

Abstract: A method for the modification of a surface of a silver electrode wherein the surface is treated with a chlorine plasma is described. Control of the power, flux density and timing provide the manner to modify the silver surface, and so implant the chlorine atoms and ions into the silver. The present invention provides a method to produce thin-film silver electrodes with a very controlled surface. Such electrodes can provide quantitative quality of measurement. The present invention extends to a method for the modification of a surface of any metal wherein the surface is treated with a plasma.

Abstract: In one aspect, according to a first form of the invention, a method for accessing cryptographic material includes creating cryptographic material, by a first Cryptographic-related application programming interface (“API”), in response to a request by a first application compatible with the first Cryptographic-related API. A supplemental aspect of the cryptographic material is created by a supplemental method for the first cryptographic API. The supplemental aspect includes information for rendering the cryptographic material compatible with a second Cryptographic-related API. The cryptographic material is then accessed for a second application by the second Cryptographic-related API.

Abstract: A core chuck has a generally spool-shaped mandrel with an outer surface configured to define three longitudinally extending lobes. A set of three or more arcuate friction plates surround the lobular outer surface of the mandrel and are movably held in place with elastic bands. Each friction plate has an inner surface contoured to conform to the shape of a corresponding lobe of the mandrel and an outer surface for frictionally engaging the inside surface of a core. The outer surfaces of the friction plates align to form a cylindrical shell. The friction plates are circumferentially slidable around the mandrel between first or retracted positions wherein the plates rest on their respective lobes and form a shell of a first diameter and second or expanded positions wherein the friction plates span adjacent lobes and form a shell of a second diameter greater than the first diameter.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for translating identifiers that are used by computers to reference various entities such as data structures, external objects, or connections in a telecommunications network, from a bulkier less manageable format to a smaller more manageable format. Such translations are carried out to reduce the needless processing and memory demands that are made of a localized set of components when the large identifiers the set receives from other components include fields that none of the members of the set need to access. The invention is centerd around a two-stage look-up method wherein an inputted external identifier is divided into two parts. The first part of the inputted external identifier is used as an address into a first look-up table that contains base-addresses of a second look-up table. The second part of the inputted external identifier is used as an offset-address into the second look-up table.

Abstract: A variable length rotary cutting system for cutting sheet material in various desired cut lengths, including a knife roll and an anvil roll between which the sheet material is passed for cutting. A drive system drives the knife roll at varying speeds during a cycle of rotation and includes a drive gear and an offset gear mounted in an off-center mounting so as to be rotated at varying speeds by the drive gear. The rotation of the offset gear is transmitted to the knife roll so as to cause the knife roll to rotate at varying speeds about a cycle of rotation to enable the knife roll to cut varying lengths of the sheet material.

Abstract: A device usable as a cardiac pacing electrode and as a cardiac defibrillation electrode has first and second substantially parallel electrodes (1,4), a first gel pad (3) located between the first and second electrodes, and a second gel pad (5) located on the second electrode. The first electrode (1) and the first and second gel pads (3, 5) may function as a cardiac pacing electrode and the second electrode (4) and the second gel pad (5) may function as a cardiac defibrillation electrode.

Abstract: A biosignal electrode 10 which comprises a flexible substrate 1 having an obverse side and a reverse side, the obverse side having printed thereon an electrically conductive layer 2 comprising an ink having electrically conductive particles or mixture of particles therein, the layer in plan comprising a first or sensor end 11, a second or connecting end 12 and an interconnecting portion 13, and the sensor end in plan resembling a hollow figure.

Abstract: An improved weatherstripping door seal of the bellows type comprising an aluminum flange holding a polymeric bellows unit which helps shield the flange from contact with one opening a door.

Abstract: A novel framing system for light-weight windows is disclosed. The frame is versatile because it is constructed to snugly receive window panes having substantially different thicknesses. In some such frames rigidity is imparted to the frame by adding a flange member which is utilized as a handle means.
