| 20120197142 | Method And System For Determining Vascular Changes Using Plethysmographic Signals - Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determining changes in a vasculature by analyzing changes in one or more attributes of a plethysmographic signal. According to certain embodiments, an apparatus may obtain plethysmographic signals prior to and subsequent to the administration of a vasoactive stimulus. The apparatus may include a processing unit configured to analyze and to compare attributes of the plethysmographic signals. The processing unit may correlate any changes in signal attributes to a change in a physiological condition of the vasculature (e.g., vascular tone/compliance). The apparatus may also include a display unit configured to present any changes in the vasculature as well as any alarms in response to a trigger from the processing unit. | 08-02-2012 |

| 20090092265 | AUDIO DOSAGE CONTROL - A method for controlling consumer exposure to audio dosage for a composite audio signal, the method comprising: sampling the composite audio signal; transforming the sampled audio signal, using a fast fourier transform algorithm, to produce a signal representative of the amplitude of component frequencies of the audio signal; comparing the transformed audio, signal with a predefined impulse control threshold profile, representing the target maximum amplitude for each frequency component for the audio signal threshold profile to produce a configuring signal representative of the difference between the broadcast signal and the profile; using the configuring signal to automatically configure in real time a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter so that it attenuates the amplitude of the transformed audio signal in frequency bands centred on the frequencies at which the target threshold is exceeded; and outputting the attenuated audio signal for consumer exposure. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20130069604 | PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR - A permanent magnet generator having the unique feature of a speed proportionally adjusted air gap for self-regulation of coil output voltage over a wide range of operating rotational speed of a steam turbine to which the invention is coupled. The Permanent Magnet Generator rotor is supported by the turbine end shaft and the stator is supported by a bracket bolted to the turbine pedestal base or other rigid structure. The speed proportional air gap is accomplished through the use of a plurality of centrifugal flyweights in mechanical coupling to a spool piece under spring load and to corresponding rare earth magnets via linkage such that increasing rotor speed extends the flyweights outward from the rotor center of rotation and draws the rare earth magnets closer to the rotor center of rotation and thus increases the air gap. | 03-21-2013 |

| 20090289427 | ICE SKATE - The present disclosure is directed to an ice skate including a boot, a separately formed casing, a blade, and a fastener. The boot includes a boot chamber for receiving a skater's foot. The casing includes an upper portion, a sole plate, and a blade holder. The upper portion defines a casing chamber for receiving the boot. In one example, the casing is plastic. The sole plate includes abutting toe, arch and heel areas and has a cantilevered connection to the blade holder. In this cantilevered connection, the toe and arch areas of the sole plate are supported by the blade holder and the heel area is unsupported by the blade holder. The blade holder defines a slot for selectively receiving the blade. The fastener removably secures the blade to the blade holder. In one example, the blade further includes a toe pick for use in figure skating. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20090011379 | Combustion initiator - The combustion initiator of this invention preferably includes at least two separate combustible chemical constituents including a fuel cell and an ignition pellet. An igniter has a third combustible material thereon which can be manually caused to move and bring the combustible material into contact with the ignition pellet. The combustible material and ignition pellet are highly reactive with one another so that such contact therebetween causes the ignition pellet to commence combustion. The ignition pellet is adjacent the fuel cell and combusts with sufficient temperature to cause the fuel cell to commence combustion. The fuel cell and ignition pellet are preferably contained within an enclosure which protects the igniter from being manipulated unless the enclosure is first opened. The fuel cell material burns hot enough and long enough to cause combustion of surrounding fuels, such as wood. | 01-08-2009 |
