20130060788 | Methods for recognition of multidimensiional patterns cross-reference to related applications - A method implemented by a computer for recognition of multidimensional patterns, represented by multidimensional arrays of multidimensional vectors which are derived from data collected from speech, images, video, signals, static physical entities or moving physical entities. The recognition is based on classification into pattern classes. For the classification the invention provides efficient methods for the computation of similarity measures between input patterns and stored patterns. Usually, input patterns are acquired by sensors and their class is unknown. They are classified by finding the stored pattern class with the highest similarity measure to the input pattern. For speech and image recognition, the methods provide additional innovations which improve the reliability. Speech is represented by one dimensional arrays of multidimensional vectors. These arrays represent continuous speech our methods have novel means for separating the signal into words and phonemes. New penalty functions improve false positives and correct recognition rates. Similar approach is used for images and video. | 03-07-2013 |
20140208551 | BUCKLE - LACE : LACE FASTENING DEVICE - The invention is a device called Buckle-Lace for fastening and keeping fastened laces, ropes, strings and alike. The device includes a multiplicity of channels. Each channel has at least one resilient gate which is installed in a forward leaning diagonal direction with respect to the channel's direction. The resilient gates are installed in the channels by their rear ends while their front ends are unattached and free to move. The resilient gates have gaps between their front ends and the opposite walls of the channels. The laces pass through these gaps which are controlled by a locking mechanism. When the locking mechanism is in closed position the gaps are narrowed such that the resilient gates are squeezing the laces in the channels and act as lace ratchets i.e. allowing the laces to move forwards when pulled but block lace motion backwards. The ratchet operation enables the user to fasten the laces and they remain fastened as long as the locking mechanism is in locked position. When the locking mechanism is switched into opened position the gaps are widened and the laces are released. | 07-31-2014 |
20140339257 | Twist Based Dispenser - A dispenser for dispensing fluent products by twisting a flexible bag which contains the fluent product. Enforcing outflow of the fluent product is based on reducing the bag's volume by twisting the bag. The bag ends are connected to a container composed of two concentric cylindrical parts which enable twisting the bag by rotating one part with respect to the other. Flexible fins and ramp grooves of the parts implement a rotational ratchet mechanism which also allows for bag contraction during twisting. The ratchet mechanism enables accurate control of outflow and also keeps the bag in the last twisted pose it arrives to when the user stops twisting. The bag is connected to the two container parts by two butterfly nuts which enable easy manual bag replacement. The bag's nozzle is equipped with means for opening and shutting the product outflow. | 11-20-2014 |
20140378919 | Easily Washable and Drainable Pouch - A washable pouch which enables accumulating solid waste and also to drain and wash it when the pouch is filled. The washable pouch has an abdominal inlet, a draining outlet and a washing inlet. The washable pouch has a flat structure constructed of two planar sheets of flexible material, which are fused together at their margins all along their perimeter except for inlet and outlet openings. Both washing inlet and draining outlet have funnel shapes with seals which can block all flows when closed. The washing inlet which is installed at the pouch's top can be used to expel gasses and also to have an air filter. The washing inlet's funnel shape facilitates pouring water into the pouch, thus liquefying the solid waste and enabling easier draining. The abdominal inlet is surrounded by an adhesive layer which has tapered boundary thereby reducing abdominal skin irritation. | 12-25-2014 |
20150018789 | WASHABLE OSTOMY POUCH II - A washable ostomy pouch which enables accumulating discharged waste and also to drain and wash it without detaching the pouch from the user. The washable pouch has an abdominal inlet coupling, a draining outlet and a washing inlet. The washing inlet has a funnel shape with a seal which can block all flows when closed. The washing inlet can also be used to expel gasses and to have an air filter. The washing inlet's funnel shape facilitates pouring water into the pouch, whereby liquefying the discharged waste and enabling easier draining. The abdominal inlet coupling can detachably secure the washable pouch to an abdominal adhesive faceplate which has on its proximal side an adhesive layer of skin barrier surrounding a central opening. The adhesive layer of skin barrier enables to adhere the abdominal adhesive faceplate to the user's abdominal skin surrounding the user's stoma. | 01-15-2015 |
20150065970 | WASHABLE OSTOMY POUCH III - A washable ostomy pouch which enables accumulating discharged waste and also facilitates easy and efficient draining and washing it without detaching the pouch from the user. The washable pouch is attached to an abdominal inlet coupling and has a draining outlet and a washing inlet with seals which can block flows when closed. The washing inlet can also be used to expel gasses and to have an air filter installed. The washing inlet's funnel shape facilitates pouring water into the pouch, whereby liquefying the discharged waste and enabling easier draining. The abdominal inlet coupling is constructed on an abdominal adhesive faceplate which has on its proximal side an adhesive layer of skin barrier surrounding a central inlet opening for the user's stoma discharge. The adhesive layer of skin barrier enables adhering the washable pouch to the user's abdominal skin surrounding the user's stoma. | 03-05-2015 |
