| 20090050343 | Process and apparatus for drilling holes in soft materials. - This device is a simple mechanical device that converts the rotary motion of a drill motor to an oscillating or reciprocating motion. The device is for use in unique, non-surgical operations with soft, fibrous materials such as carpets and other fiber based materials. The device drills a close tolerance hole with drive shafts in line or offset to the driven shaft. A general reciprocating drive system is comprised of a reciprocating drive device—offset drive and eccentric bars; a turning drive means such as a drill or the like; a drive structure member such as a gear, plate or the like; a reciprocation configuration of various members such as the eccentric linkage to the reciprocating driven structure member such as a gear, plate, linkage or the like; a device encasement; a connection means of members to an encasement; and a driven output means. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20090137918 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSIS OF BOVINE DISEASES USING AUSCULTATION ANALYSIS - A system and method are provided for diagnosis of bovine respiratory diseases using auscultation techniques wherein the acoustic characteristics of a recorded spectrogram is compared with existing data enabling a caregiver to make a diagnosis for a diseased animal. Lung sounds are obtained by use of an electronic stethoscope, and the sounds are stored as digital data. Signal conditioning is used to place the data in a desired format and to remove undesirable noise associated with the recorded sounds. An algorithm is applied to data, and lung scores are calculated. The lung scores are then categorized into various levels of perceived pathology/disease within the animal based upon baseline data that categorizes the lung scores. From the lung scores, a caregiver may then associate a diagnosis, prognosis, and a recommended treatment. Analysis software in the present invention generates the lung scores from the recorded sounds, and may also provide the user a visual display of presumptive diagnoses as well as recommended treatments. | 05-28-2009 |
