US Patent:

6627150, Sep 30, 2003

Filed:

Dec 29, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/474285

Inventors:

Paul Jacobs - Canyon CA
Szu-Min Lin - Laguna Hills CA

Assignee:

Ethicon, Inc. - Skillman NJ

International Classification:

A61L 220

US Classification:

422 33, 422 23, 422 27, 422 28

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a process for sterilization of medical instruments by concentrating a sterilant such as hydrogen peroxide inside of a sterilizer and sterilizing articles therewith. This concentrating process is monitored by determining the concentrations of water and peroxide in the chamber.

Appl. No.:

09/474142

Inventors:

Paul Jacobs - Canyon CA
Szu-Min Lin - Laguna Hills CA

Assignee:

Ethicon, Inc. - Somerville NJ

International Classification:

A61L 220

US Classification:

422 27, 422 33

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a process for sterilization of medical instruments by concentrating a sterilant such as hydrogen peroxide inside of a sterilization chamber and sterilizing articles therewith. The sterilant is concentrated by removing more water from the sterilization chamber than peroxide.

Filed:

Oct 11, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/975714

Inventors:

Paul Jacobs - Canyon CA, US

International Classification:

A61L002/20

US Classification:

422/033000, 422/023000

Abstract:

A method for sterilizing a device, includes the following steps: contacting the device with liquid sterilant outside or inside a sterilization chamber at a first pressure, placing the device in the chamber before or after the contacting step, and decreasing the pressure of the chamber to a second pressure below the vapor pressure of the liquid sterilant. At least the decrease in pressure below about the vapor pressure of the liquid sterilant occurs at a pumpdown rate of less than 0.8 liters per second, calculated based on the time required to evacuate the chamber from atmospheric pressure to 20 torr when the chamber is empty and dry.

Assignee:

QUALCOMM INCORPORATED - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04N 7/173
H04N 5/38

US Classification:

725118, 348723, 725131

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are described for configuring a CATV system as base station with a distributed antenna supporting a wireless communication system. The CATV system can be configured to implement a frequency translating repeater at each of a plurality of distribution points within the CATV distribution network.

International Classification:

G09G 5/10

US Classification:

345690

Abstract:

A field-sequential color architecture is included in a reflective mode display. The reflective mode display may be a direct-view display such as an interferometric modulator display. The reflective mode display may include three or more different subpixel types, each of which corresponds to a color. Data for each color may be written sequentially to all subpixels of the display. Flashing of a corresponding colored light, e.g., from a front light of the display, may be timed to immediately follow a process of writing data for that color. Colors other than the field color may be used to produce grayscale. The field color may correspond to the most significant bit (MSB) and the other colors may correspond to other bits.

US Classification:

704221

Abstract:

A first remote vocoder receives analog voice and produces packetized vocoder data which is transmitted over a wireless link. A first local vocoder receives the packetized vocoder data from the wireless link. The first local vocoder converts the packetized data to a multibit PCM output. The first local vocoder also adds a detection code to one of the least significant bits (LSB) of the PCM output. The first local vocoder passes the PCM signal to the PSTN from the second end user. The first local vocoder also receives PCM input over the PSTN. The first local vocoder constantly monitors the least significant bit of the PCM input for a detection code indicating that a second local vocoder is connected at the receiving end. If the first local vocoder detects the detection code from the second local vocoder, it begins to substitute packetized data and a redundancy check for a second one of the LSB's of the outgoing PCM. The first local vocoder also begins to monitor the second one of the LSB's of the incoming PCM.
