Nov 23, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/447480

Inventors:

Fu-Kuo Chang - Stanford CA

Assignee:

The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G01D 700

US Classification:

73862046

Abstract:

A diagnostic layer having a network of actuators and sensors may be incorporated into or on the surface of composite, metallic, and laminated materials for monitoring the structural health of the material. The diagnostic layer is adapted for detecting and measuring changes in the condition of the material, e. g. , the site and extent of damage in the material. In a preferred embodiment, piezoelectric devices are embedded in the diagnostic layer in a network, and serve as actuators and sensors. Signals emitted from the sensors in response to physical deformation, either by an impact or as a result of stress waves generated by the actuators, are diagnostic of the current condition of the diagnostic layer. The diagnostic layer is also adapted to monitor the curing process of a composite material and accurately determine when curing is complete. Methods for monitoring changes in conditions of a material are also disclosed.

US Classification:

250310, 250306, 250307, 250396 R, 250397, 2504922

Abstract:

An electron beam apparatus is configured for dark field imaging of a substrate surface. Dark field is defined as an operational mode where the image contrast is sensitive to topographical features on the surface. A source generates a primary electron beam, and scan deflectors are configured to deflect the primary electron beam so as to scan the primary electron beam over the substrate surface whereby secondary and/or backscattered electrons are emitted from the substrate surface, said emitted electrons forming a scattered electron beam. A beam separator is configured to separate the scattered electron beam from the primary electron beam. The apparatus includes a cooperative arrangement which includes at least a ring-like element, a first grid, and a second grid. The ring-like element and the first and second grids each comprises conductive material. A segmented detector assembly is positioned to receive the scattered electron beam after the scattered electron beam passes through the cooperative arrangement.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715236, 715205, 707102, 709203

Abstract:

A method for transforming a starting data structure into a resultant data structure is provided. The data structures may be embodied in any language or format, including the Extensible Markup Language (XML). The starting data structure is separated into segments. The transformation may be analyzed to determine which loops are top level and separable. The starting data structure may be analyzed to estimate the most costly loop, then separated along the most costly loop. Segments are transformed independently, and transformed segments are recombined to create the resultant data structure.

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709250

Abstract:

A Fibre Channel network is provided with an efficient implementation of the loop initialization process. In one embodiment, the network comprises nodes coupled by unidirectional serial communications links in a ring topology. The nodes typically include a serial communications transceiver, a transmit controller, a receive controller, and a memory unit. The serial communications transceiver operates to drive transmit signals on the outgoing serial communications link and to buffer receive signals from the incoming serial communications link. The memory unit includes transmit and receive buffers that are coupled to the transceiver via transmit and receive controllers. One or more of the nodes may also include a control register having an "autoswap" bit. The autoswap bit is initially reset to 0 when the node enters the initialization mode. When the autoswap bit is set to 1, the transmit and receive buffers exchange roles after every data frame so that received initialization data frames stored in the receive buffer are retransmitted by the transmitter controller.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention described herein include low cost infusion devices having basal and/or bolus fluid delivery options. Embodiments of the device include a housing, a reservoir to contain the fluid, a source of pressure to exert a force to expel the fluid contained in the reservoir, a bolus port adapted to receive an optional extra dose of fluid, and a cannula in fluid communication with the reservoir and the bolus port. The cannula is adapted for insertion into the user's skin for delivery of the fluid to the user's body. The device can provide a continuous delivery of the fluid along a first fluid flow path from the reservoir to the cannula and the optional extra dose of fluid along a second fluid flow path from the bolus port to the cannula.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for a connection interface between a reservoir or syringe, infusion set tubing, and an infusion pump is provided. The reservoir, a base and a cap are connected to form an integrated unit that is capable of being inserted and secured in an infusion pump housing. The cap and the infusion pump are each provided with at least one sensor or at least one detectable feature, arranged to interact with at least one corresponding detectable feature or sensor on the other of the cap and infusion pump device, to detect one or more of the presence, position or other characteristic of the cap when the cap is aligned or coupled with the infusion pump housing. The detectable feature and sensor may be magnetic, RF, mechanical, optical or any combination.
