International Classification:

A61L002/04

US Classification:

422001000, 422297000

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a method for the pasteurization and/or sterilization of a continuous web of packages. The method includes the steps of providing a continuous web of individual packages; moving the continuous web through a first mechanical pressure seal into a pressure chamber; applying an increased pressure and temperature; and moving the continuous web through a second mechanical pressure seal out of the pressure chamber. The present invention is also directed to a continuous pressure seal apparatus and an apparatus for the pasteurization and/or sterilization of a continuous web of flexible packages. The apparatus includes a first mechanical continuous feeding pressure seal; a pressure chamber; and a second mechanical continuous feeding pressure seal. The first pressure seal is adjacent to an entry to the pressure chamber and the second pressure seal is adjacent to an exit of the pressure chamber.

International Classification:

H04M 100

US Classification:

379399

Abstract:

Telephone network interface apparatus including a plurality of subscriber terminals for being connected to a plurality of subscriber premises lines, a plurality of telephone terminals for being connected to a plurality of incoming telephone lines, a plurality of telephone plugs and jacks for interconnecting and providing demarcation points between the incoming telephone lines and the subscriber premises lines, and mounting means for mounting the telephone network interface apparatus to the same bracket to which a prior art terminal block has been previously mounted whereby the telephone network interface apparatus of the present invention may be substituted for the prior art terminal block and both terminate and interconnect the plurality of incoming telephone lines and subscriber premises lines previously terminated and interconnected by the prior art terminal block and provide the needed demarcation points between the incoming telephone line and the subscriber premises lines.

Feb 19, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/158325

Inventors:

Joseph P. Bevacqua - Paterson NJ
Robert E. Eastep - Walkerville MD
Thomas J. Collins - Wall NJ

Assignee:

Bell Atlantic - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01R 924

US Classification:

439718

Abstract:

An integral multiple transmission line interface comprises a panel having opposite side portions defining, facility connection and subscriber connection regions having, respectively, a facility cable connector and subscriber cable terminals. A plurality of spaced modular jacks are arrayed longitudinally along the facility connection region of the panel, and a plurality of removably attached subscriber wiring bridges extend between the jacks and subscriber cable terminals. Interconnection between the subscriber wiring bridges and the facility cable connector is made through a printed circuit board within the panel. A pivotally mounted, removable cover protects the subscriber wiring terminals from human contact, and interlocking ears and collars formed on the panel enable the terminal devices to be stacked end to end.

Yongbo Wang - San Marino CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00
A61B 5/145

Abstract:

A physiological sensor history backfill system and method including a method of sensor history backfill for a local base device operable to wirelessly communicate with a physiological sensor connected to a patient, the method including: obtaining physiological readings for the patient at a predetermined interval; storing the physiological readings at the physiological sensor as sensor physiological readings; storing the physiological readings at the local base device as historic physiological readings; obtaining a current physiological reading for the patient; transmitting the current physiological reading to the local base device in a current reading message; detecting a record gap in the historic physiological readings between the current physiological reading and the historic physiological readings; and filling the record gap in the historic physiological readings with sensor physiological readings from the physiological sensor when the current reading message does not include the sensor physiological readings to fill the record gap.

International Classification:

A61M 5/145
A61M 5/168
G16H 20/17
G16H 40/63

Abstract:

Infusion systems, infusion devices, and related operating methods are provided. An exemplary infusion device includes a motor operable to deliver fluid to a body of a user, a first control module to enable input power for the motor and provide a dosage command for operating the motor, and a second control module coupled to the first control module to receive the dosage command and operate the motor using at least a portion of the input power based at least in part on the dosage command. One of the first control module and the second control module detects an anomalous condition, and in response, disables the input power to the motor, stores diagnostic information for the anomalous condition in its internal memory, and automatically resets thereafter.
