摘要:
A vent line separator (30) having a housing (34) defining an interior chamber (44) having a flow diverter (132) positioned therein that separates liquid and gas and a by-pass valve assembly (106) that permits gas to be vented to the atmosphere under a predetermined minimum pressure, that prevents gas and liquid from being vented to the atmosphere when the liquid pressure in the interior chamber (44) is above a predetermined minimum pressure and below a predetermined maximum pressure, and allows venting of liquid fuel and gas to the atmosphere when liquid pressure in the interior chamber (44) is above a predetermined maximum pressure.

A garment containing multiple conductive paths made of conductive cloth is used to connect an internal or external electrical apparatus to various points on the skin of the wearer. The garment can be designed for electrical monitoring of sites or electrical stimulation. Designated sites on the garment can be activated by soaking the site with conducting fluid.

The invention provides a method of alleviating the effects of stress in a non-human animal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a corticosteroid, such as dexamethasone, alone or in conjunction with a nutritional supplement, to the animal in need thereof. The corticosteroid can be administered prior to exposure to the stress, during the stress, and/or following exposure to the stress. The administration of the corticosteroid in conjunction with a nutritional supplement provides synergistic effects in alleviating the effects of stress, particularly weight loss. The nutrient therapy comprises one or more sources of electrolytes providing each of sodium, potassium and magnesium; one or more sources of amino acids providing each of alanine, lysine, phenylalanine, methionine, threonine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, and glutamate; and a source of tryptophan. The combined administration appears to have a restorative effect.

An exercise training system for prompting a user for stereo typed exercise and recording the intensity of the exercise, the training system consisting of an electromyographic sensor member which produces a rectified and time averaged signal forming a muscle force signal, the sensor member being provided with at least one electrode that is positioned adjacent to the user's muscle group for indicating muscle force of that muscle group, and a control member having a clock for measuring time intervals, and an alerting member for alerting the user that an exercise period has started as determined by the clock for a predetermined time interval loaded into the control means, whereby the user in response to the alerting member contracts and relaxes a predetermined muscle group and the muscle force used in the exercise is sensed by the electromyographic sensor.

A self-venting drain valve (10) is mounted on a wall (30) of a fluid container having a fluid hole (32) and a vent hole (34). The valve has a body (20) with a bore (38) therein. A first hole (44) and a second hole (46) extend into said bore coaxial with the fluid and vent holes respectively. A drain port (48) extends through the valve body opposite the first hole. An air vent opening (54) extends through the valve body, generally opposite, but slightly offset from the second hole. A rotatable spool (60) is mounted in the bore. The spool has a first ball portion (62) adjacent the fluid hole and a second ball portion (64) adjacent the vent hole. The first and second ball portions of the spool have fluid passages therethrough. In a first position, the fluid passages in the ball portions are disposed from the fluid and vent openings and the valve is closed. Movement of the spool to a second position, enables the fluid passage in the first ball portion of the spool to receive fluid, placing the container under slight negative pressure. Further movement of the spool to a third position, opens the fluid passage through the second ball portion of the spool and enables air to enter the container so it may readily drain.

The invention is directed to a microprocessor based system utilizing electromyographic sensor to monitor muscle force for lift training and exercise training. In the lift training embodiment the electrodes of the electromyographic sensor are secured to a belt so that they are located adjacent to the lower back of the user when wearing the belt. The lift training embodiment is also provided with a goniometer to measure lifting angle during training, which together with muscle force generated by the lower back is compared in the microprocessor to a programmed lifting parameters and if these parameters are exceeded the user is warned by and audible indicator. The lift trainer embodiment also periodically measures interelectrode impedance to insure actual usage. The exercise training embodiment has a bar graph display displaying muscle intensity and two light emitting diodes alerting a user when to contract or relax a monitored muscle group. The microprocessor is programmed with a exercise routine and alerts a user when the routine is to begin, the duration of muscle contraction and relaxation, and the repetitions required. During exercise the user can monitor muscle intensity from the bar graph display and or auditory feedback element. An alternate lift training systems comprises a belt mounted goniometer which is operatively coupled to a microprocessor having an electronic memory for time logging a lifting session. To insure actual usage the belt is also provided with temperature and/or motion sensors.

A self-locking retention system is provided for a composite rotor blade supported on a rotor hub. A radially extending, stud-like retention member is provided on the rotor hub. A composite thickness projects radially inwardly from the rotor blade and substantially surrounds the retention member. The composite thickness is woven in a pattern which grips the retention member in response to outward forces applied to the rotor blade and the woven composite thickness.
