  • Patent number: 11047598
    Abstract: The single axis solar tracking assembly comprises a plurality of spine sections (2) connected to one another by universal joints (10), supporting legs (3) rotatably supporting the spine sections (2) on the ground, a plurality of brackets attached to each spine section (2), a plurality of rib members (4) connected to the brackets, and solar panels (5) secured to the rib members (4). The rib members (4) are moveable between a folded position and a deployed position. An auxiliary shaft is located between adjacent universal joints (10) connected to adjacent spine sections (2). First and second crossed spine hinge axes of the universal joints are arranged so that the spine sections (2) can be fold at right angles to the auxiliary shaft and the spine sections (2) can be fold in a zig zag fashion into a compact storage position in which the solar panels are arranged in adjacent parallel planes.

  • Publication number: 20120277723
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for controlling a flowrate of insulin infused into the body of a patient. An insulin infusion device infuses insulin into the body of the patient. A first sensor generates blood glucose level (BGL) data indicative of a blood glucose level of the patient. A second sensor generates autonomic nervous system (ANS) data such as heart rate data dependent on at least one parameter of the patient's autonomic nervous system. A data fusion processor receives the BGL data and the ANS data and generates an output alarm signal if a hypoglycaemic event is inferred. A flowrate of insulin of the insulin infusion device may be modified dependent on the output alarm signal.

  • Publication number: 20120220847
    Abstract: A method and system are described for detecting a hypoglycaemic state in a patient. The patient's heart rate is monitored to provide a heart-rate signal. A time-lagged signal is determined as the difference between the heart-rate signal and a time-lagged version of the heart rate-signal. The heart-rate signal is filtered with a low-pass filter to provide a heart-rate trend. An absolute difference between the heart-rate signal and the heart-rate trend is determined to provide an absolute-difference signal. A second time-lagged signal is determined as a difference between the absolute-difference signal and a time-lagged version of the absolute-difference signal. The occurrence of a hypoglycaemic condition is inferred dependent on the time-lagged signal and the second time-lagged signal.

  • Publication number: 20010056044
    Abstract: A method for improving the low temperature fluidity of lubricating oil compositions based on addition to lubricating oils of a mixture of selected high molecular weight and low molecular weight alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymers is disclosed. Combinations of low molecular weight alkyl (meth)acrylate polymers containing zero to 25 weight percent (C16-C24)alkyl (meth)acrylate with high molecular weight alkyl (meth)acrylate polymers containing 25 to 70 weight percent (C16-C24)alkyl (meth)acrylate are especially effective at satisfying different aspects of low temperature fluidity properties simultaneously for a broad range of base oils.

  • Patent number: 5586592
    Abstract: A rolling shutter includes a plurality of elongated shutter elements each having a plurality of alternate ribs and valleys formed on each side thereof is pivotally coupled by a plurality of link elements interleaved between the shutter elements. The shutter element and link array thus formed includes a repeated subset combination of coupling links and shutter elements which facilitate the pivotal motion of a shutter element pair about a common link to form a reinforcing portion of the shutter element array. A tractor drive mechanism includes a plurality of drive belts having engaging teeth for coupling to the alternate ribs and valleys of the shutter elements to provide positive drive force in either direction. A spring-biased take-up roll is supported in proximity to the tractor drive to receive the portion of the shutter element array withdrawn into the tractor drive.

  • Patent number: 4965833
    Abstract: A voice enhancer system for a car includes a pair of microphones positioned adjacent to the front seats of the car, and a pair of loudspeakers positioned adjacent to the rear seats. The microphones are connected to the loudspeakers, via an amplifier/electrical conditioning unit, by electrical wiring positioned behind the car's upholstery. The conditioning unit, which includes filters and a frequency shifter is adjusted to prevent acoustical `howl-around` within the enclosure of the car. For voice enhancement from the rear to the front of the car, microphones may be positioned adjacent to the rear seats, and loudspeakers may be positioned adjacent to the front seats, these components being connected together, via a second amplifier/electrical conditioning unit, by electrical wiring.
