Patent number: 11598124Abstract: A lock system includes an active panel center gearbox. The active panel center gearbox includes a deadbolt, a deadbolt drive to extend or retract the deadbolt, an upper drive assembly, a lower drive assembly, a latch bolt, a handle assembly to retract the latch bolt and to extend or retract the lower and the upper driver assemblies, a reverse action rocker coupling the lower and the upper drive assemblies so they move in different directions, a mishandling bolt, and a mishandling plate.

Patent number: 8587439Abstract: Systems, methods and devices to measure and potentially promote thermogenesis, preferably non-exercise activity thermogenesis are disclosed. In the various embodiments, the present invention may rely on one or more sensors that detect a subject's body posture and/or activity. Feedback regarding the subject's posture and/or activity (relative to preferred postures and/or activity levels) may preferably be provided after the data is retrieved and analyzed. A power interlock may also be used to control delivery of electrical energy based on a subject's posture and/or activity level.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2006Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and ResearchInventors: James A. Levine, Paul H. Kane, Chinmay U. Manohar

Patent number: 8556304Abstract: A multi point door lock device featuring a casing adapted to operatively engage the communicating components of the door lock. A removably engageable latch module slidably engages with the casing. A latch is reversibly engaged into the latch module with an allen screw and allows for user reversal to accommodate different door installations. The latch module also provides a switch for changing between first and second modes of operation to provide an external day latch function. The switching lever protrudes through the face plate on the side of the door.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2007Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Union Tool Exporters, Ltd.Inventors: Stanley Chung, Paul H.

Publication number: 20130053658Abstract: An MR Spectroscopy (MRS) system and approach is provided for diagnosing painful and non-painful discs in chronic, severe low back pain patients (DDD-MRS). A DDD-MRS pulse sequence generates and acquires DDD-MRS spectra within intervertebral disc nuclei for later signal processing and diagnostic analysis. An interfacing DDD-MRS signal processor receives output signals of the DDD-MRS spectra acquired and is configured to optimize signal-to-noise ratio by an automated system that selectively conducts optimal channel selection, phase and frequency correction, and frame editing as appropriate for a given acquisition series. A diagnostic processor calculates a diagnostic value for the disc based upon a weighted factor set of criteria that uses MRS data extracted from the acquired and processed MRS spectra for multiple chemicals that have been correlated to painful vs. non-painful discs. A display provides an indication of results for analyzed discs as an overlay onto a MRI image of the lumbar spine.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2012Publication date: February 28, 2013Inventors: James C. Peacock, John P. Claude, Paul H. Kane, Jeffrey C. Lotz

A DDD-MRS pulse sequence generates and acquires DDD-MRS spectra within intervertebral disc nuclei for later signal processing & diagnostic analysis. An interfacing DDD-MRS signal processor receives output signals of the DDD-MRS spectra acquired and is configured to optimize signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by an automated system that selectively conducts optimal channel selection, phase and frequency correction, and frame editing as appropriate for a given acquisition series. A diagnostic processor calculates a diagnostic value for the disc based upon a weighted factor set of criteria that uses MRS data extracted from the acquired and processed MRS spectra along regions associated with multiple chemicals that have been correlated to painful vs. non-painful discs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2009Publication date: April 14, 2011Inventors: James C.
