Abstract:
A packaging with integrated tube comprising a tube 17 attached to a film 18 that is attached to the packaging 15 with an opening place 16 so the user can push the tube and the opening place against each other to pierce the packaging while the film is attached to the tube and the packaging at predetermined locations so the film lets the tube to be moved partially while the film prevents the full detachment of the tube from the packaging and the opening place is part of the boundary of the packaging so the content of packaging can contact the opening place and penetrating this boundary will position the tube as such that one end of tube is inside the packaging and other end is outside, this way, the tube provides access to the content of the package after creating an opening. FIG. 1 to accompany abstract.
Abstract:
A cardiac assist device is provided. The cardiac assist device may comprise a structure surrounding at least a portion of a heart. The cardiac assist device may comprise an inner cup enclosing at least a portion of the structure. The cardiac assist device may comprise an outer cup enclosing at least a portion of the inner cup. The outer cup may comprise an opening. Gas may be conducted into a space between the outer cup and the inner cup, using a pump, to cause a first motion of the structure, associated with a first rotation of a first portion of the heart in a first direction. The gas may be conducted from the space to outside of the outer cup, using the pump, to cause a second motion of the structure, associated with a second rotation of the first portion of the heart in a second direction.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a system and a method for controlling the timing of the filling of a fluid actuate. The system includes, a fluid actuated clutch 83, an electronic controller adapted to detect an end-of-fill point for the fluid actuated clutch 83, compare the end-of-fill point with a desired end-of-fill point and adjust at least one of a plurality of clutch fill parameters in response to the comparison in order to control the timing of the filling of the clutch 83, and a control valve that is activated by the electronic controller.
Abstract:
Vehicles (12) having implements (14) are typically used to perform repetitive functions in work cycles. Advantageously, such vehicles (12) include control systems (10) for maintaining a control lever (26) in a predetermined position until an associated work cycle function is completed. The subject control (10) includes a rocker bar (46) connected to the control lever (26) and a solenoid (50) having an actuator rod (52) disposed adjacent the rocker bar (46). The control (10) energizes the solenoid (50) to hold the control lever (26) in the predetermined position in response to a position of the implement (14), a position of the control lever (26), and a desired kickout position.
Abstract:
Work vehicles are used to perform a variety of functions. Advantageously, such work vehicles include systems for cushioning the ride while the vehicle is travelling. The subject automatic ride control senses the speed of the vehicle and responsively activates and deactivates the ride control by respectively connecting and disconnecting an accumulator to the lift cylinder hydraulic circuit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for determining the need for angiography in patients with symptoms of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), and comprises a data mining algorithm that processes a dataset with a set of predetermined features, preferably 50 features. The system comprises a pre-processing phase and a main phase.
Abstract:
An end-of-fill detection arrangement is provided in a power distribution system to detect when a clutch is fully filled and the pressure therein can be progressively increased to full engagement. The arrangement includes placing a position sensor in a pressure relief valve that is controlling the desired pressure level to respective clutches and directing the sensed position of the valving element therein to an electronic controller. The controller monitors the position of the valving element in the relief valve. Initiation of filling of a clutch results in the valving element moving from a bypassing position towards a flow blocking position. This movement is noted by the controller and when the valving element returns generally to its initial location, the clutch is filled. The controller notes the end-of-fill and provides a command signal to the proportional valve to progressively increase the pressure in the clutch until the clutch is fully engaged. The subject invention provides a simple arrangement that detects the end-of-fill.
Abstract:
An apparatus for controllably moving an implement is provided. The implement is connected to a work machine and is movable between first and second implement positions in response to operation of a hydraulic actuator. The apparatus includes a joystick with first and second positions and a neutral position. The joystick is normally biased in a neutral position and is movable between the first and second positions. The apparatus senses the position of the joystick and responsively generates a joystick position signal. The joystick maintained at the first and second detent positions in response to manual movement of the joystick to the respective first and second detent positions. The joystick is released from the detent position in response to receiving a release detent signal. The apparatus senses the position of the work implement with respect to the work machine. The apparatus provides hydraulic fluid flow to the hydraulic actuator in response to a magnitude of an electrical valve signal. The apparatus receives the joystick position signal, responsively delivers the electrical valve signal. The magnitude of the electrical valve signal is proportional to the joystick position signal. The apparatus compares the implement position signal with a first detent position and a second detent position and responsively produces the release detent signal.
