  • Publication number: 20100165311
    Abstract: A magnetic shield having non-magnetic gaps provides reduced magnetic cross-talk for a linear motor array in a precision positioning system. Redirecting the leakage flux limits the cross-talk and associated deleterious effects. Such preferred magnetic circuit paths for the leakage are affixed to the moving magnet system of the linear motor. Embodiments of the preferred flux leakage paths are realized by providing a ferromagnetic shield separated by a non-magnetic gap between the permanent magnets and the back-irons. In another embodiment, the ferromagnetic shield separation includes diamagnetic materials.

  • Patent number: 7689743
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for copying data. The present invention includes a data storage subsystem that supports fast replication and a host system that communicates a fast replication request to the data storage subsystem, estimates an expected wait time for a pending fast replication operation if the fast replication request is not granted, awaits the expiration of the wait time, communicates an additional fast replication request to the data storage subsystem, and records the data as moved if the additional fast replication is granted. In certain embodiments, the host system moves the data via conventional I/O operations if the expected wait time exceeds an expected duration for the conventional I/O operations.

  • Patent number: 7672294
    Abstract: An IP bridge phone for operatively coupling one or more analog phones to a digital communications network to support parallel communications is disclosed. The IP bridge phone includes a phone handset interface adapted to connect to a phone handset, an analog phone interface, and a network interface. A mixing module is adapted to receive a first voice signal from the handset interface, a second voice signal from the analog phone, and a third voice signal from the data communications network; generate a plurality of combined signals from the first voice signal, the second voice signal, and the third voice signal; and transmit each of the plurality of combined signals to one of the plurality of interfaces. The plurality of combined signals provide parallel communications between the phone handset, the analog phone, and the remote calling party.

  • Publication number: 20090299299
    Abstract: System for the subcutaneous delivery into the body of a patient of a fluid from a remote vessel. The system includes a main assembly and placement member with a needle. A delivery tube for carrying the fluid is attached at a near end to the remote reservoir or vessel. At removed end, the delivery tube has a needle for engagement with the main assembly. The main assembly includes a rotating member that when the rotating is perpendicular to the main assembly, it will accept the handle and needle for emplacement of the body onto a patient. After the handle and needle are removed, the delivery tube can be attached to the rotating member which can then be rotated down to a position along to and adjacent the skin of the patient. This provides for a flush mounted infusion device.

  • Patent number: 7484697
    Abstract: A universal strut clamping device preferably made from steel components and is utilized as a load bearing support for conduits and the like. This clamping device, which is always used in pairs, is comprised of a single baseplate with an attached strut locating guide and further including an aperture for a longitudinally installed threaded rod which will be used to attach to a building member and further compress a preformed metallic strut between each clamping device. The versatility of this support allows the installer the options of attaching the strut bracket rigidly to a wall, floor or ceiling in a cantilever configuration, or suspending it from a building structure by a single threaded rod as a vertical trapeze.

  • Patent number: 7480284
    Abstract: An IP telephone appliance providing secure voice communication and data transmission for itself and other IP devices and applications associated with it. The IP telephone appliance incorporates a processor for converting voice signals received from a user into VoIP packets, and an IPSec stack encoding packets prior to transmission. The IP telephone appliance also encodes packets on behalf of other devices and applications prior to transmitting the packets to a destination. When encoded voice or data packets are received from a source device, the IP telephone appliance decodes the packets and determines their destination. If the IP telephone appliance is the ultimate destination, the voice/data packets are converted to voice/telephony signals and provided to the user. Otherwise, if the ultimate destination is another device on the network, the IP telephone appliance forwards the decoded packets to the ultimate destination.

  • Publication number: 20070173767
    Abstract: This invention relates to therapeutic infusion assemblies, more specifically a device for the subcutaneous delivery of a fluid from a remote source. Applicant provides a base assembly which has a fluid channel therein and a cannula extending vertically downward from a flat bottom. A fluid connector member which receives a fluid bearing line from the remote fluid source and the fluid connector member pivotably and removably connects to the base member. The manner of connection is “hinged” allowing the fluid connector to move from a non-use position by rotation downward to a used position. In the use position a fluid channel in the fluid connector will connect with a fluid channel in the base to provide fluid to the cannula and to the patient.
