  • Publication number: 20250032004
    Abstract: A system includes an implantable medical device and processing circuitry. The implantable medical device includes an accelerometer and sensing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains, during a calibration period, a first motion signal from the accelerometer. The processing circuitry determines a motion threshold based on the first motion signal. The motion threshold relates to an amount of motion of the patient that is significant for treatment of the health condition of the patient. The processing circuitry obtains, during a collection period, a second motion signal from the accelerometer. Responsive to the second motion signal satisfying the motion threshold, the processing circuitry stores data related to the treatment of the health condition of the patient.

  • Patent number: 9863998
    Abstract: A method of determining the location of a fault within a first inductive part of an electrical circuit, including a voltage source, first inductive part and second inductive part. A shortened circuit created by the fault includes the voltage source, a portion of the first inductive part and the second, connected in series. The fault occurs across first and second points in the first inductive part. The length of first inductive part between a positive terminal and first point is substantially equal to the length of first inductive part between a negative terminal and second point. The voltage source supplies a known voltage Vs when the fault occurs and the second inductive part has a known inductance L2 when the fault occurs. The method takes advantage of the initial transient response of the circuit to determine the inductance of the portion of the first inductive part in the shortened circuit.

  • Patent number: 8280660
    Abstract: Previously, electrical power systems have been analyzed to provide theoretical fault levels values for different zones of an electrical power distribution system based upon a worse case scenario. However, existing electrical loads will in practice provide a more adaptable and higher fault level. By monitoring and identifying an I-V characteristic upon switching electrical load in practical operation an actual default level at particular nodes in a power distribution system is determinable. In such circumstances decisions with regard to the connectability of further electrical generators or loads at particular parts and zones of an electrical power distribution system can be quantified by reference to the actual fault level rather than the theoretical worse case scenario level and therefore avoid unnecessary upgrading of transmission equipment or denying access to the electrical power system.

  • Patent number: 7931210
    Abstract: Re-cycled tire treads are laminated into stacks and attached to a reinforcement element which has a first portion which provides increased compressive strength and a second portion which provides increased torsional and bending strength. Several embodiments with reinforcing elements ranging from T-bars, to I-beams to box beams, with variations including corrugated flanges. Pre-drilled holes can be provided in the flanges to facilitate insertion of the spikes. While steel-belted tires are preferred for use in creating stacks, provisions are made to ensure electrical isolation of the two rails to permit transmission of data thereby. The railroad tie can have electronic signaling hardware built-in by placing sensors and related circuitry between adjacent plies in a laminated stack.

  • Patent number: 7695675
    Abstract: A method of inactivating microorganisms such as viruses within a fluid such as a biological fluid is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a UV reactor, which may take the form of an elongated generally annular reaction chamber surrounding at least one elongated UV lamp, moving the fluid within the reaction chamber in a primary flow directed along the length of the UV lamp, and inducing a circulating secondary flow within the fluid with the secondary flow being superimposed on the primary flow. As the fluid moves through the reaction chamber in the primary flow, it is circulated repeatedly toward and away from the UV lamp in the circulating secondary flow to provide uniform and controllable exposure of the entire volume of fluid to ultraviolet radiation. Microorganisms such as viruses are thus inactivated while desirable components in the fluid, such as proteins, are preserved without the use of a free radical scavenger.

  • Publication number: 20090292488
    Abstract: Safe operation of electrical power distribution systems necessitates consideration of the fault level in terms of the potential for electrical current flow upon an earth or other fault within the electrical power distribution system. Previously, electrical power systems have been analysed to provide theoretical fault levels values for different zones of an electrical power distribution system based upon a worse case scenario. However, existing electrical loads will in practice provide a more adaptable and higher fault level. By monitoring and identifying an I-V characteristic upon switching electrical load in practical operation an actual default level at particular nodes in a power distribution system is determinable.
