20100332046CURRENT TRANSFORMER WITH INTEGRATED ACTUATOR - A system comprising a magnetic actuator, a current transformer and operational electronics in a dual-coil circuit breaker. The system includes an inline implementation of the primary and secondary coils to maintain a narrow width suitable for retrofitting in currently designed industrial rack mounted enclosures. The system further comprises network connectivity allowing interrogation of the components for operational data associated with the component.12-30-2010
20110242720MAGNETIC CORE COUPLING IN A CURRENT TRANSFORMER WITH INTEGRATED MAGNETIC ACTUATOR - A system comprising a magnetic actuator, a current transformer and operational electronics in a dual-coil circuit breaker. The system includes an inline, but non concentric, implementation of the primary and secondary coils to maintain a narrow width suitable for retrofitting in standard industrial rack mounted enclosures. The system further comprises an I-shaped lamination stack that is designed to abut on the ends of an upper and lower plate of the current transformer. The I-shaped lamination stack significantly increases the overlap between the lamination and the upper and lower plates, which results in lower magnetic reluctance and improves magnetic coupling.10-06-2011
20110267722COST EFFECTIVE DESIGN FOR A CURRENT TRANSFORMER WITH AN INTEGRATED MAGNETIC ACTUATOR - A system comprising a magnetic actuator, a current transformer and operational electronics in a dual-coil circuit breaker. The system includes an inline, but non concentric, implementation of the primary and secondary coils to maintain a narrow width suitable for retrofitting in standard industrial rack mounted enclosures. The system further comprises a split core design that is integrated into an upper and lower plate which slide together and are retained by a secondary coil bobbin. Typically, the two parts of the split core can be manufactured into net shapes by utilizing a powder metal or metal injection molding process. Moreover, the split core design disclosed herein can reduce costs and time associated with manufacturing and assembly of the current transformer.11-03-2011

20110144694BONE FIXATION ASSEMBLY - A bone fixation element includes a bone fixation member having a base and a pair of arms elastically spreadable for reversibly clipping on a bone or an implant, and a connector assembly configured to be attached to the base so as to rigidly fix the fixation member to a bone fixation rod.06-16-2011
20110218572EXPANDABLE LAMINA SPINAL FUSION IMPLANT - An expandable intervertebral implant comprises a caudal fixator including a caudal fixator body and a socket extending longitudinally upward from the caudal fixator body, a cranial fixator including a cranial fixator body and a core extending longitudinally downward from the cranial fixator body, and a circlip configured to fix the longitudinal position of the caudal fixator relative to the cranial fixator. The core can include outwardly-extending cranial ratchet ridges and can be configured to fit into the socket. The circlip can include inwardly-extending circlip ratchet ridges and can be configured to fit inside the socket. The implant can be configured to be installed into an intervertebral space between vertebrae of the spinal motion segment by attaching the implant to laminae of the vertebrae. The implant can be configured to be expanded after installation into the spinal motion segment, such that the implant extends between spinous processes of the vertebrae.09-08-2011

20110082227FOAMED POLYESTERS AND METHODS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION - Foam bodies made of thermoplastic polyesters with high homogeneity, a low open-cell factor and high elongation at break under shear stress, the polyester foam containing at least one thermoplastic elastomer such as a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer, in quantities of, for example, 0.5 to 15% by weight based on the weight of the foam body. The foam bodies can be obtained by foaming a starting polyester with low intrinsic viscosity in a mixture with a modification means in the form of a premix containing dianhydrides of tetracarboxylic acids and thermoplastic copolyester elastomers.04-07-2011

20090128824OPTICAL IMAGING SYSTEM WITH EXTENDED DEPTH OF FOCUS - The invention concerns an optical imaging apparatus comprising (o) a light source (05-21-2009
20100141956DUAL BEAM HETERODYNE FOURIER DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY - The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method combining achromatic complex FDOCT signal reconstruction with a common path and dual beam configuration. The complex signal reconstruction allows resolving the complex ambiguity of the Fourier transform and to enhance the achievable depth range by a factor of two. The dual beam configuration shares the property of high phase stability with common path FDOCT. This is of importance for a proper complex signal reconstruction and is in particular useful in combination with handheld probes such as in endoscopy and catheter applications. The advantages of the present invention are in particular the flexibility to choose arbitrarily positioned interfaces in the sample arm as reference together with the possibility to compensate for dispersion.06-10-2010
20110169978FUNCTIONAL OPTICAL COHERENT IMAGING - The present invention relates to a functional optical coherent imaging (fOCI) platform comprising at least one active camera unit (ACU) comprising a coherent and/or a partially coherent light source, and means for spectral filtering and imaging a selected body area of interest; an image processing unit (IPU) for pre-processing data received from an ACU; at least one stimulation unit (STU) transmitting a stimulation to a subject; at least one body function reference measurement unit (BFMU); a central clock and processing unit (CCU), with interconnections to the ACU, the IPU, the STU, for collecting pre-processed data from the IPU, stimuli from the STU body function reference data from the BFMU in a synchronized manner; a post-processing unit (statistical analysis unit, SAU); and an operator interface (HOD. Further the invention relates to a process for acquiring stimuli activated subject data comprising the steps of aligning a body function unit at a subject and monitoring pre-selected body function; selecting a stimulus or stimuli; imaging a body area of interest; exerting one or a series of stimuli on the subject; imaging the body area of interest synchronous with said stimuli and the preselected body functions; and transferring said synchronized image, stimuli and body function data to a statistical analysis unit (SAU) and performing calculations to generate results pertaining to body functions.07-14-2011
