Respiratory Infection Treatment Device

US Patent:
6749597, Jun 15, 2004
Filed:
Sep 11, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/320956
Inventors:
Steven R. Frank - Golden CO 80403
International Classification:
A61M 3100
US Classification:
604500, 604 48, 12820014, 424 45, 424618, 516 97
Abstract:
A device and method for treating an illness or infection in the repiratory tract of a body is provided. The device administers an antimicrobial mist directly to the tissues to be treated, which coats the tissues in the respiratory tract where the infection is colonizing. The administration of the mist is reapplied in order to maintain a predetermined antimicrobial tissue density concentration of a uncompounded silver colloid suspended antimicrobial substance for a predetermined time period.

Electronic Identification System With Improved Sensitivity

US Patent:
6472975, Oct 29, 2002
Filed:
Jun 20, 1994
Appl. No.:
08/262157
Inventors:
Michael L. Beigel - Corona CA
Nathaniel Polish - New York NY
Steven R. Frank - Golden CO
Robert E. Malm - Pacific Palisades CA
Assignee:
Avid Marketing, Inc. - Norco CA
International Classification:
H04Q 100
US Classification:
340 101, 3405722
Abstract:
The coil in the reader that is used to establish an alternating magnetic field is transformer-coupled through capacitors to a push-pull driving circuit consisting of four field-effect transistors connected in a bridge arrangement. The coil, capacitors, and coupling circuitry are maintained in a tuned condition by continually adjusting either the driving frequency, the coil inductance, or the capacitor capacitance during communications. A tag utilizes a coil to couple with the readers alternating magnetic field and a capacitor to resonate the coil, thereby extracting power from the field more efficiently. Transformer coupling of the coil and capacitor is utilized for improved impedance matching. The coil, capacitor, and coupling circuitry can be maintained in a tuned condition by continually adjusting either the coil inductance, or the capacitor capacitance during communications. Certain configurations of the system may require that tuning maintenance be discontinued during the transmission of data.

Automatic Force Generating And Control System

US Patent:
5058888, Oct 22, 1991
Filed:
Nov 13, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/436191
Inventors:
Christopher W. Walker - Middleburg VA
Michael M. Szafranski - Fairfax VA
Sung H. Kim - Palo Alto CA
Howell F. Hsiao - Mountain Beach CA
Steven R. Frank - Golden CO
Assignee:
Walker Fitness Systems, Inc. - Reston VA
International Classification:
A63B 21008
US Classification:
272130
Abstract:
An automatic force generating and control system including a lever pivotally attached to a monolith and a lower body exerciser pivotally attached to a bench, with both the bench and monolith attached to a platform. The rotation of the lower body exerciser is translated into linear movement by a series of sprockets and timing belts. The electrical output from load cells and potentiometers are processed by the electronic controls to determine the speed, direction and position and the amount and direction of force being exerted on the lever and lower body exerciser. Resistance to movement is provided by a lever hydraulics assembly and a lower body hydraulics assembly. The lever has arms and handles which articulate to the physique of the user and the exercise to be performed. The arms pivot in mirror relationship and the lower body exerciser may be lengthened or shortened. Electric solenoid clutches or hydraulics may engage the handles to the arms and the arms to the head of the lever.

Electronic Identification System With Improved Sensitivity

US Patent:
2010018, Jul 22, 2010
Filed:
Mar 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/748428
Inventors:
MICHAEL L. BEIGEL - Corona CA, US
Nathaniel Polish - New York NY, US
Steven R. Frank - Golden CO, US
Robert E. Malm - Pacific Palisades CA, US
International Classification:
H04Q 5/22
US Classification:
340 101
Abstract:
The electronic identification system provides two-way communications between reader and tags using alternating magnetic fields established by the reader and tag. Communication is accomplished by utilizing either a one-step or a two-step modulation process in which the information to be communicated either modulates an alternating magnetic field directly or modulates a periodic signal which modulates an alternating magnetic field. The coil in the reader that is used to establish an alternating magnetic field is transformer-coupled through capacitors to a push-pull driving circuit consisting of four field-effect transistors connected in a bridge arrangement. The coil, capacitors, and coupling circuitry are maintained in a tuned condition by continually adjusting either the driving frequency, the coil inductance, or the capacitor capacitance during communications. A tag utilizes a coil to couple with the reader's alternating magnetic field and a capacitor to resonate the coil, thereby extracting power from the field more efficiently. Transformer coupling of the coil and capacitor is utilized for improved impedance matching. The coil, capacitor, and coupling circuitry can be maintained in a tuned condition by continually adjusting either the coil inductance, or the capacitor capacitance during communications. Certain configurations of the system may require that tuning maintenance be discontinued during the transmission of data.

Automatic Force Generating And Control System

US Patent:
5064193, Nov 12, 1991
Filed:
Nov 13, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/439932
Inventors:
Robert L. Sainte - Winchester KY
Steven E. Sarns - Arvada CO
Steven R. Frank - Golden CO
Assignee:
Walker Fitness Systems, Inc. - Reston VA
International Classification:
A63B 21008
US Classification:
272130
Abstract:
An automatic force generating and control system that automatically sets exercise forces in accordance with user programmed criteria and is capable of providing pressurized flow to both ends of the arm hydraulics and leg exerciser hydraulics. Anticavitation is provided during idling, pressurized flow and when the user is successfully overcoming the pressurized flow. In the preferred embodiment, pressure is regulated by two proportional pressure relief valves which set the pilot pressure of the control valves and switching elements which direct the pressurized flow to the hydraulics. In an alternate embodiment pressure and flow are regulated by a bi-directional pump through the current and voltage sent to the pump by the controls. In a third embodiment the pressure is regulated by a proportional pressure relief valve which is connected in parallel to the ends of either the arm cylinders and to a uni-directional pump. In the alternate embodiments anticavitation is provided by a double pilot operated check valve.

Film Positioner

US Patent:
4651337, Mar 17, 1987
Filed:
Oct 28, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/792276
Inventors:
Jonathan C. Boomgaarden - Waukesha WI
Bruce Q. Bautista - West Bend WI
Charles R. Davis - Pewaukee WI
Steven R. Frank - Evergreen CO
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
G03B 4202
US Classification:
378177
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling motion of power driven mechanisms in a medical x-ray spot filming system in order to minimize induced vibrations of x-ray film due to acceleration and deceleration of the power driven mechanisms. The invention includes a method and apparatus for establishing a desired profile of position of the x-ray associated mechanisms as a function of time and for implementing a move of the mechanism in accordance with the desired profile. In one form the profile is divided into a plurality of equal time increments and the motion of the mechanism is computed for each time increment as a function of a particular change in position such that a move can be completed within a fixed time interval. Depending upon the length of the move, a change in position for each time increment is determined and the mechanism is moved in accordance with the computed position change for each time increment.
