20120259233	AMBULATORY PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING WITH REMOTE ANALYSIS - Applicants have disclosed a wireless method for remotely monitoring the physiological status of ambulatory patients by using at least one “cloud” server. Physiological data, including ECG data, is collected by a device worn by a patient and then wirelessly transmitted (e.g., via a cell phone) to the server(s). Remote processing of electrocardiograms (“ECG”) is achieved, in part, by data streaming packet lengths acquired over no less than 3 seconds—3 seconds is typically equivalent to about 3 cardiac cycles (heartbeats)—to provide the quickest response time by clinicians to try to save a heart patient's life. Other types of physiological data are monitored by the device, so medical help can be obtained when needed. In this manner, any sudden onset of vicissitudes in a patient's well being may be detected and transmitted to the care-giver and patient in near real-time.	10-11-2012

20090155434	PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF HIGHLY ENRICHED FRACTIONS OF NATURAL COMPOUNDS FROM PALM OIL WITH SUPERCRITICAL AND NEAR CRITICAL FLUIDS - From palm oil valuable compounds like the tocochromanols, carotenoids, phytosterols, and others can be derived. Enrichment to highly concentrated fractions is hindered by the enormous number of components involved, the very low volatility, the very low solubility of many of the compounds in organic solvents, and the high viscosity of the mixtures to be processed. Starting materials for the new process are enriched fractions of tocochromanols (about 20 to about 50 wt.-%) and/or carotenoids (about 10 to 30 wt.-%) from palm oil obtained by conventional processes, or by counter current multistage processes with supercritical carbon dioxide. These processes, not addressed here, may comprise: Removal of free fatty acids, transesterification of the triglycerides to methyl or ethyl esters, removal of the esters, e.g. by short path distillation, separation of the tocochromanol fraction from the carotenoid fraction by cooling. In the new process, fractions derived from crude palm oil, already enriched to some extent in tocochromanols, carotenoids, phytosterols, and others, are being treated by supercritical fluid technology in a unique combination of counter current separation with selective adsorption and desorption using supercritical fluids. A first enrichment, comprising one or more separation steps by application of a near critical or a supercritical fluid in a single or multistage (counter current) separation process is combined appropriately with a second enrichment step wherein the product of the first enrichment step is directly adsorbed on an adsorbent (silicagel) by passing the product flow over a fixed bed of adsorbent without substantial pressure change, and subsequent desorption with the same (or an other) near critical or supercritical fluid at the same or a different pressure as in the first separation, or by a pre-designed sequence of pressures and temperatures. For the tocochromanol enrichment, carbon dioxide at near critical conditions above the critical temperature of carbon dioxide is used. For the carotenoid enrichment, propane at near critical conditions below the critical temperature of propane is used.	06-18-2009

20110214349	ELECTRICAL DOOR DRIVING DEVICE - The electrical door driving device mainly contains a shaft having threads with a smaller pitch at the two ends and a larger pitch in the middle. A guiding element is configured on the shaft with a guide pin running vertically through the guiding element and into a groove of the shaft. An end of the shaft is connected to a motor and a leaf is connected to the guiding element by a vertical rod. When the motor engages the shaft to spin, the guiding element, and thereby the leaf, is moved as the guide pin traverses the groove of the shaft. As the threads of the shaft are denser at the ends of the shaft, the leaf moves slower when the door starts to close (or when the door starts to open) and when the door is about fully closed (or when the door is about fully opened).	09-08-2011
