  • Patent number: 7779853
    Abstract: A proportional pressure control valve particularly for electro-hydraulic transmissions. The valve includes a cage having pump, clutch, and tank port openings. A spool is received within the cage for controlling flow between the clutch port and the pump and tank ports of the system. The spool has a feedback pressure surface responsive to an applied feedback fluid pressure urging the spool to move towards a first position allowing flow between the clutch and tank ports. A feedback pressure chamber is defined within the cage for developing the feedback fluid pressure. A clutch port pressure feedback passage couples the clutch port with the feedback pressure chamber for admitting flow from the clutch port into the feedback pressure chamber to develop the feedback fluid pressure. The clutch port pressure feedback passage is formed within the cage wall to couple the control pressure chamber in fluid communication with the system clutch port.

  • Patent number: 6997918
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods, systems, devices and kits for performing lung volume reduction in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or other conditions where isolation of a lung segment or reduction of lung volume is desired. The methods are minimally invasive with instruments being introduced through the mouth (endotracheally) and rely on isolating the target lung tissue segment from other regions of the lung. Isolation is achieved by deploying an obstructive device in a lung passageway leading to the target lung tissue segment. Once the obstructive device is anchored in place, the segment can be aspirated through the device. This may be achieved by a number of methods, including coupling an aspiration catheter to an inlet port on the obstruction device and aspirating through the port.

  • Patent number: 6956422
    Abstract: A circuit and method for generating a delayed event following a trigger pulse occurring at a random time between clock pulses is disclosed. The circuit includes a clock circuit, a voltage converter, an analog-to-digital converter circuit, a memory storage circuit, and a summing circuit. The method includes representing the time between the triggering pulse and a subsequent clock pulse as a voltage, converting the voltage to a stored digital value, and defining a desired delay time by adding a first time determined by counting a predetermined number of clock cycles to a second time determined by converting the stored digital value first to an analog value and then to a time value.

  • Patent number: 6956208
    Abstract: A MALDI mass spectrometer directs a laser shot onto a MALDI sample to generate a sample spectrum which is analyzed to determine if the sample spectrum meets a predetermined criteria. If so, subsequent laser shots are directed to predetermined locations on the MALDI sample. In essence, if the analysis of a previous laser shot indicates that a “sweet spot” of the MALDI sample has be located, subsequent laser shots may be directed to areas proximate to the previous shot thereby allowing the sweet spot to be thoroughly sampled. A method of operating a MALDI mass spectrometer is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6927684
    Abstract: A remotely activated control device responsive to a specific transmitter operating in a frequency band assigned to radio telephone equipment, such as cellular telephone networks, cordless telephones, etc. The control device includes a radio receiver which provides a received pulse train to an assurance logic circuit. The assurance logic circuit determines if the received pulse train is limited to no more than a transmitter identification code and an action code, the combination of which is less than the code required to activate a relay network or initiate a radio telephone connection. Pulse trains accepted by the assurance logic circuit are compared to a stored code by a comparitor. The stored code includes the identification of a specific transmitter or group of transmitters and at least one action code. If the received pulse train matches the stored code, a switching circuit is activated to control a user supplied device.

  • Patent number: 6892169
    Abstract: A software interface used in designing communications circuits receives input from a user (20). In response, the software interface initiates accessing of a route plan (16) comprising a first route point group (38) associated with a first circuit end point (34), a second route point group (38) associated with a second circuit end point (34), and one or more routes (32) connecting the first and second route point groups (38). Each route (32) is available for use in designing the circuit. The software interface also initiates selection of a route (32) according to the route plan (16) and initiates the automatic assignment of the selected route (32) to the circuit in designing the circuit. The software interface provides information to the user (20) reflecting assignment of the route (32) to the circuit. The route plan (16) may be selected from among multiple route plans (16) according to a service application (14) automatically derived from an associated circuit order.
