20100177791 | TIMESTAMP CONVERSION - A target time stamp on a target time-base is obtained from a originating time stamp on an originating time-base of an audio video transport system by first taking samples simultaneously from transport streams having the originating time-base and target timebase, respectively. A current sample and an immediately preceding sample for the originating time-base and target time-base are stored, respectively. A first difference is determined between the current sample and an immediately preceding sample for the originating time-base and a second difference is determined between the current sample and an immediately preceding sample for the target time-base, respectively. The first difference is added to the current sample of the originating time base and the second difference is added to the current sample of the target time-base if the current sample is less than the originating time-stamp and the first difference is subtracted from the current sample of the originating time base and the second difference is subtracted from the current sample of the target time-base if the current sample is greater than the originating timestamp. The first difference and the second difference are halved and the addition or subtraction and halving iterated until the first difference or the second difference is negligibly small. The iterated current sample of the target time-base is output as the target time-stamp. | 07-15-2010 |

20100032309 | Metal Implants - A metal implant for use in a surgical procedure is provided with a surface layer that is integral with the metal substrate, and which incorporates a biocidal material. The surface layer may be grown from the metal substrate, by anodising, and the biocidal material incorporated in it by ion exchange. Alternatively the layer may be deposited by electroplating, followed by diffusion bonding so as to become integral with the metal substrate. In either case, silver is a suitable biocidal material; and both the release rate and the quantity of biocidal material should be low to avoid toxic effects on body cells. Electropolishing the surface before formation of the surface layer is also beneficial, and this may be achieved by electropolishing. | 02-11-2010 |

20120018308 | Metal Treatment - Metal objects are treated by anodising (P, SE) the metal object in contact with an acidic solution, and then subjecting the anodised metal object to a reversed voltage (VR). The anodising is performed in two stages, firstly to passivate (P) with the formation of a surface layer, and secondly to form pits in this surface layer (SE). The second stage (SE) of anodising is performed at a lower voltage than the first stage (P). After the reversed voltage step (VR) the metal object is then contacted with a biocidal metal-containing solution. Biocidal metal is absorbed into the surface of the metal object, resulting in improved biocidal properties. The lower voltage of the second stage anodising (SE) results in reduced processing time. | 01-26-2012 |
20120024710 | Metal Treatment to Form a Surface Layer - A metal object is treated to form an integral surface layer by: (a) immersing the metal object in an anodising electrolyte, and passivating the metal to form an anodised layer on the metal object; (b) continuing the application of a potential to modify the surface layer; (c) then treating the metal object with a chemical reducing agent so a hydrous metal oxide is formed; and (d) then contacting the metal object with a solution containing a biocidal material so as to incorporate biocidal material into the surface layer. | 02-02-2012 |

20080311072 | Preparation of Soluble and Colloidal Molecularly Imprinted Polymers by Living Polymerization - The present invention describes a method for synthesis of relatively low molecular weight imprinted polymers using living polymerization, and their application in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, medicine and the food industry. Specifically the low-molecular weight polymers are synthesized by the polymerization of functional monomers in the presence of a template, such as a biological receptor, enzyme, nucleic acid, cell, virus, microorganism, tissue sample or drug using living initiator. The conditions of living polymerization ensure a relatively small size of synthesized molecules. Synthesized in this way molecules (dimers, oligomers, polymers, or their mixture) have a higher affinity to the template than the original monomers and can rebind it in vitro and/or in vivo. As a further aspect of the present invention, polymers synthesized as described above can be used as drugs in pharmacology and medicine, as receptor-specific ligands in analytical chemistry (sensors, assays), and for separations in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and food industries. | 12-18-2008 |
20090082480 | POLYMERIC BINDING MATERIALS - A monomer having a pair of hydroxy groups held in a fixed relationship (e.g. a dihydroxybenzene) is diesterified with a compound having a polymerisable group, e.g. to form a diacrylate. After polymerisation with a crosslinker, the polymer is hydrolysed. The dihydroxy-monomer is removed, leaving a polymer with pair of carboxyl groups held in spatial relationships determined by the dihydroxy monomer. Thus a range of subtly different polymers can be prepared by using different dihydroxy-monomer templates. The polymers are desirably swellable. They can be used as selective binding materials, e.g. in chromatography or analysis. | 03-26-2009 |

20100314347 | FEEDING APPARATUS - Colic can be a particular problem for babies feeding on liquid feed from a feeder bottle. The colic can be formed by air from various sources in the liquid feed. Typically, there is less air in the liquid feed towards the bottom of the liquid feed container in the feeding position than towards the top of the liquid feed. The present invention provides apparatus for drawing milk from the bottom of the feeding apparatus chamber when the feeder is held in the operating position. This is achieved by positioning a flow restrictor for allowing the passage of liquid feed from a main chamber into a flexible feeding teat at a suitable location. The present invention also provides a resiliently-biased cartridge to assist in priming and/or draining of the flexible feeding teat. The present invention also provides a construction in which the flow restrictor is always provided in the correct position regardless of the relative angular orientation of the elements of the feeder. The present invention also provides feeding apparatus that can be easily disassembled to facilitate cleaning. | 12-16-2010 |

20100152544 | CARDIAC MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A cardiac monitoring system and method for configuring a case template including selecting critical parameters to be monitored during a procedure, entering patient-specific details for computing patient values for determining control limits for the critical parameters, setting control limits for each of the selected critical parameters, monitoring parametric data in real-time against the set control limits, capturing and recording event parametric data related to control limit breach events, and charting the event parametric data corresponding with the timing of the control limit breach event. | 06-17-2010 |
20100152563 | DUAL FLOW BLOOD MONITORING SYSTEM - A dual blood flow monitoring system includes an electronic first sensor, an electronic second sensor, and an electronic monitoring device in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor. The first sensor monitors a first blood flow and the second sensor monitors a second blood flow. The electronic monitoring device is operative to receive signals from the sensors and to calculate and display a differential value representing a difference between the at least one parameter of the first blood flow and the at least one parameter of the second blood flow. A dual blood flow monitoring system is provided in a method for simultaneously monitoring extracorporeal arterial and venous blood flows, in which the sensors are placed in communication with respective tubing lines carrying the arterial and venous blood flows. | 06-17-2010 |

20090096212 | POWER GENERATION SYSTEM - A power generation system is disclosed for supplying power to an electrical grid. The system comprises a synchronous machine and coupling means for coupling the synchronous machine to a prime mover. Control means are provided to control the system such that the system is selectively operable in two modes. In the first mode, the synchronous machine is coupled to the prime mover and acts as a synchronous generator to supply power to the grid. In the second mode the synchronous machine is decoupled from the prime mover and acts as a synchronous condenser. This can allow parameters of the grid, such as power factor and voltage, to be adjusted. | 04-16-2009 |
