Publication number: 20040049105Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for assessing blood flow in single or multiple vessels and segments, for assessing vascular health, for conducting clinical trials, for screening therapeutic interventions for effect, for assessing risk factors, for evaluating intracranial pressure and for analyzing the results in a defined manner. The invention enables direct monitoring of therapies, substances and devices on blood vessels, especially those of the cerebral vasculature. Relevant blood flow parameters include mean flow velocity, systolic acceleration, and pulsatility index. Measurement and analysis of these parameters, and others, provides details regarding the vascular health of individual and multiple vessels and a global analysis of an individual's overall vascular health.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2003Publication date: March 11, 2004Applicant: New Health Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Crutchfield, B.

Publication number: 20040002654Abstract: The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for assessing blood flow in blood vessels, for assessing vascular health, for conducting clinical trials, for screening therapeutic interventions for adverse effects, and for assessing the effects of risk factors, therapies and substances, including therapeutic substances, on blood vessels, especially cerebral blood vessels, all achieved by measuring various parameters of blood flow in one or more vessels and analyzing the results in a defined matter. The relevant parameters of blood flow include mean flow velocity, systolic acceleration, and pulsatility index. By measuring and analyzing these parameters, one can ascertain the vascular health of a particular vessel, multiple vessels and an individual. Such measurements can also determine whether a substance has an effect, either deleterious or advantageous, on vascular health. In one of many embodiments, the present invention further provides an expert system for achieving the above.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2003Publication date: January 1, 2004Applicant: New Health Sciences, Inc.Inventors: John B.

Publication number: 20030014788Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca L.) named ‘MAS926’ is described. The new variety is a selection derived from a cross between the apricot varieties ‘Valleygold’ (not patented) and ‘Earliril’ (not patented). The new variety is distinguishable by the dark red blush covering approximately 80% of the fruit surface. The fruit is of medium size with an ovate shape, and has juicy, firm flesh with a sweet tangy flavour. The tree is characterized by vigorous upright growth habit.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2001Publication date: January 16, 2003Inventors: Michael T. Malone, Jeremy E.B. Davidson

Patent number: 6205890Abstract: A ratchet wrench including a handle, a drive stud, and a ratchet mechanism further includes a tool release mechanism. The tool release mechanism includes a tool release actuator which forms a recess. A reversing lever is coupled to the ratchet mechanism and is movable to forward, non-ratcheting and reverse positions to select a forward ratchet direction, a non-ratcheting action, and a reverse ratchet direction, respectively, for the ratchet mechanism. The direction control element carries a protruding element that is shaped to fit into a recess in the tool release actuator when the direction control element is in the forward position, to remain outside the recess when the direction control element is in the non-ratcheting position, and to fit into the recess when the direction control element is in the reverse position. The protruding element impedes inadvertent operation of the tool release mechanism when the direction control mechanism is in either the forward or the reverse positions.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2000Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Joda Enterprises, IncInventors: Peter M. Roberts, John B. Davidson

Patent number: 6109140Abstract: A ratchet wrench including a handle, a drive stud and a ratchet mechanism further includes a tool release mechanism. The tool release mechanism includes a control rod that slides along the centerline of the drive stud and a ramp that is slidable in a plane transverse to the drive stud axis. The illustrated actuator is confined to the region of the ratchet wheel, and does not move between the pawl of the ratchet mechanism and the head of the wrench. Centering elements extend from the head of the wrench into an annular recess on a face of the ratchet wheel opposed to the drive stud. The actuator moves in a gap formed between opposed portions of the centering element.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1999Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Joda Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Peter M.
