摘要:
The present application is drawn to a synthetic, polymer hydrogel-based material, which is able to actively induce the body's natural hemostatic coagulation process in blood or acellular plasma. The present invention provides the development of a primary amine containing polymer hydrogel capable of inducing blood coagulation and delivering therapeutics for hemostatic or wound care applications, and a method of forming such a primary amine containing polymer hydrogel capable of inducing the blood coagulation process. The primary amine containing polymer hydrogel is able to achieve the same end result as biological-based hemostatics, without the innate risk of disease transmission or immunological response, and at a fraction of the price. Furthermore, due to its inherent hydrogel-based design the material has the capability of arresting blood loss while simultaneously delivering therapeutics in a controlled manner, potentially revolutionizing the way in which wounds are treated.

A method for estimating the translational motion of an object is provided that first computes a plurality of DCT/DST coefficients for two sequential frames. These transform coefficients are then used to compute a pseudo phase function which is then fed into an inverse transform decoder. The output of the decoder is searched for peak values which are then used to determine the displacement of the object.

An apparatus for inoculating a sample to or withdrawing a sample from a vessel or conduit includes a body with an internal sample cavity, a valve operating rod movable to open and close an orifice to the sample cavity a coupler to attach the body to a port of the vessel or conduit. A manual and/or automatic device can be provided for moving the valve operating rod to open and close the orifice. The manual device includes a trigger actuator. A portion of the sample cavity is formed by an endcap which includes the orifice. The sample cavity has an inner wall and outer wall with a space therebetween. The space can thermally insulate the sample cavity from the ambient environment as well as the interior of the vessel or conduit. The valve operating rod has a diaphragm attached to one end. A blunt sealing tip of the diaphragm seals the orifice when the valve operating rod moves to close the orifice. The valve operating rod has a portion which extends into the diaphragm to support the diaphragm and to form a seal at an opening to the sample cavity through which the diaphragm extends.

Apparatus and method for encoding speech using a codebook excited linear predictive (CELP) speech processor and an algebraic codebook for use therewith. The CELP speech processor receives a digital speech input representative of human speech and performs linear predictive code analysis and perceptual weighting filtering to produce a short term speech information and a long term speech information. The CELP speech processor utilizes an organized, non-overlapping, algebraic codebook containing a predetermined number of vectors, uniformly distributed over a multi-dimensional sphere to generate a remaining speech residual. The short term speech information, long term speech information and remaining speech residual are combinable to form a quality reproduction of the digital speech input.

A universal transform processor using at least a one dimensional (1-D) transform processor to produce N dimensional transforms without transposition and providing a fully pipelined structure with a through put rate of N clock cycles for an N.times.N successive serial input with parallel output data. The universal transform processor can efficiently compute Discrete Cosine, Sine, Hartley, Fourier, Lapped Orthogonal, and Complex Lapped transforms for continuous input data stream. The architecture is regular, modular, and has only local interconnections in both data and control paths. The universal transform processor is practical for very large scale integrated (VLSI) implementation.

Repetitive phenomena cancelling controller arrangement for cancelling unwanted repetitive phenomena comprising known fundamental frequencies. The known frequencies are determined and an electrical known frequency signal corresponding to the known fundamental frequencies of the unwanted repetition phenomena is generated. A plurality of sensors are employed in which each sensor senses residual phenomena and generates an electrical residual phenomena signal representative of the residual phenomena. A plurality of actuators are provided for cancelling phenomena signals at a plurality of locations, and a controller is utilized for automatically controlling each of the actuators as a predetermined function of the known fundamental frequencies of the unwanted repetitive phenomena and of the residual phenomena signals from the plurality of sensors. In this arrangement the plurality of actuators operate to selectively cancel discrete harmonics of the known fundamental frequencies while accommodating interactions between the various sensors and actuators.
