  • Patent number: 8075057
    Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided a module for use with a chair having a seat portion supported by a support portion, for triggering movement of a person sitting thereon. The module is adapted for attachment to the chair between the seat portion and the support portion, and comprises a driving motor, a base platform adapted for fixed attachment to the seat portion, and an angled axis system (AAS). The AAS has a main rotary element having a main axis, and an auxiliary rotary element having an auxiliary axis and coupled with the first rotary element so that the auxiliary axis is oriented at an angle to the main axis. The module is designed such that when the main rotary element rotates about its main axis, the auxiliary rotary element also rotates about the main axis.

  • Publication number: 20090150180
    Abstract: A process for determining responders in clinical testing environments that involves, inter alia, detecting treatment response through the use of small numbers of measurements of randomly varying outcome variables in individual clinical trial subjects, and by analyzing the measurements in such a way as to eliminate troublesome variables, such as a spontaneous population variability.

  • Patent number: 7436858
    Abstract: An adaptive rate management method and system for adapting a receiver rate to a transmission rate in a packet switch network comprises determining an error value at a sample rate, obtaining an updated accumulator value based on said error value Es at a decimated sample rate, and generating an appropriate rate command and changing said accumulator value at the decimated rate based on the updated accumulator value. The method may be adapted for either adapter point management or bit stuffing. When applied to adapter point management (APM), the method generates pointer adjustments for rate management. In a frequency locked APM preferred embodiment of the method and system, pointer adjustments in an interval are generated at a constant rate based on an average pointer adjustment value calculated in previous intervals.
