Abstract: The wave energy converter consists of a hollow steel float (5) mounted on a steel tube (3) held in a vertical position with steel cables (7) to the seabed. The hollow steel float (5) is filled with water to give it weight and this float (5) is free to slide up and down on the steel support column (3). The weight of the steel float (5) is more than offset with the lid of a counterweight (30) attached to a steel cable (25). The action of the steel cable on a mandrel (26) and gear arrangement mounted on top of the steel column is to capture the unsupported weight of the water in the float as the wave descends. The up and down action of a weight of ten tons or more confers a continuous mono-direction to a flywheel (31) through a pawl and ratchet arrangement which in turn drives an electric generator through gear engagement with the spinning flywheel. In another embodiment this descending weight energy could be captured through a hydraulic arrangement for the mandrel gear (4) and (5).

Abstract: Systems for monitoring or control can include reconfigurable input and output channels. Such reconfigurable channels can include as few as a single terminal and a ground pin, or such channels can include three or four terminal configuration such as for use in four-terminal resistance measurements. Channel reconfiguration can be accomplished such as using software-enabled or firmware-enabled control of channel hardware. Such channel hardware can include analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion capability, including use of a digital-to-analog converter to provide field power or biasing. In an example, the interface circuit can provide a selectable impedance.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a motor-driven mechanical system with a detection system to measure properties of a back channel and derive oscillatory characteristics of the mechanical system. Uses of the detection system may include calculating the resonant frequency of the mechanical system and a threshold drive D TH required to move the mechanical system from the starting mechanical stop position. System manufacturers often do not know the resonant frequency and D TH of their mechanical systems precisely. Therefore, the calculation of the specific mechanical system's resonant frequency and D TH rather than depending on the manufacturer's expected values improves precision in the mechanical system use. The backchannel calculations may be used either to replace or to improve corresponding pre-programmed values.

Abstract: A multi-channel integrated circuit comprises a plurality of channels (CH1 to CH20). A DAC (3) is provided in each channel (CH1 to CH20) for converting digital data inputted to the circuit (1) through an I/O port (14). Digital data to be converted by the DACs (3) is selectively applied to input registers (10) of each channel (CH1 to CH20) on a digital data bus (16) under the control of an interface and control logic circuit (15). The digital words written to the input registers (10) are in turn written to DAC registers (9) through corresponding digital switches (12) for conversion by the DACs (3). A clear code register (22) stores a clear code for writing to the DAC registers (9) in response to a clear signal applied to a clear terminal (24) of the circuit (1) so that analogue outputs appearing on output terminals (5) of the channels (CH1 to CH20) are of a predetermined value, typically, zero volts, when the circuit (1) is set in a clear condition. The clear code is written to the clear code register (22) through the I/O port (14) and the interface and control logic circuit (15).

Abstract: A tissue biopsy device uses ultrasonic imaging to guide the biopsy needle. An ultrasonic imaging device comprises three acoustically coupled chambers with an ultrasound transducer in a first chamber, at least a portion of an ultrasound detector in the second chamber and the portion of patient anatomy to be imaged placed in the third chamber, which is intermediate the first and second chambers. The three chambers are filled with an acoustically transmissive liquid. When a structure, such as a lesion, has been located, the imaging may be used to determine the precise location of the lesion in three dimensions. The ultrasonically transmissive fluid is drained from the central third chamber with ultrasonic coupling occurring through the ultrasonically transmissive compression plates and the imaged patient anatomy. This permits real-time imaging of the patient anatomy during the biopsy process.
