Abstract: A fluid responsive switching mechanism is located on a brake actuator in a vehicle to signal impending brake actuation as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of accidents such as rear end collisions. Direct contact with the brake actuator by the driver to initiate brake actuation causes the fluid responsive switching mechanism to immediately energize brake indicators upon such contact. In one example of the invention, an electric switch is located inside a fluid filled chamber located on a brake pedal in the vehicle. In a second example of the invention, an electric switch is located outside such fluid filled chamber.

Abstract: A diaphonic valve utilizing the principle of the Synthetic Jet is disclosed herein. A diaphonic valve pump is provided for the inflation of an in-ear balloon. More complex embodiments of the present invention include stacks of multiple synthetic jets generating orifices as well as an oscillating, thin polymer membrane. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a novel application is provided for the creation of static pressure to inflate or to deflate an inflatable member (balloon). In addition, sound can be utilized to inflate or deflate an inflatable member in a person's ear for the purpose of listening to sound.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for compensatory invoicing of a patient for health care services rendered by a Health Care Provider. The system and method enables a Health Care Provider to obtain payment of Full Rates for services rendered to a patient in circumstances where a Health Insurance Entity provides less than full-rate compensation (e.g., compensation at Contracted Rates) to the Health Care Provider AND the patient has been reimbursed additionally by another payment party for claims already paid for by the Health Insurance Entity. In one implementation, the patient contracts with the Health Care Provider to ensure that the Health Care Provider is fully compensated for the services rendered after the patient receives payments from a First and/or Third Party Payment Entity (e.g., an auto insurance carrier, worker's compensation insurance carrier, Medpay, PIP etc.) for the services. The invention tracks claim(s) filed by the patient against the First and/or Third Party Payment Entity and tracks payment(s) made by the First and/or Third Party Payment Entity to the patient. The patient and/or the First and/or Third Party Payment Entity is then billed for the difference in payments made to the Health Care Provider by the Health Insurance Entity, effecting compensatory invoicing for a Full Rate fee chargeable by the Health Care Provider in cases when a First and/or Third Payment party has reimbursed the patient for similar services as already reimbursed by the Health Insurance Entity.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种系统和方法，用于补偿医疗保健提供者提供的医疗保健服务的患者发票。 在健康保险实体向医疗保健提供者提供低于全额赔偿（例如合同费率赔偿）的情况下，该系统和方法使得医疗保健提供者能够获得向患者提供的服务的全额费用。 病人已经由另一支付方另外偿还了健康保险实体已经支付的索赔。 在一个实施中，患者与医疗保健提供者签订合同，以确保医疗保健提供者对患者从第一方和/或第三方支付实体（例如，汽车保险运营商， 赔偿保险承运人，Medpay，PIP等）为服务。 本发明追踪患者针对第一方和/或第三方支付实体提出的索赔，并追踪第一方和/或第三方支付实体对患者的付款。 然后病人和/或第一方和/或第三方支付实体由医疗保险实体向医疗保健提供者支付的差额付款，由医疗保健提供者收取全额费用的补偿性发票 当第一和/或第三付款方已向患者报销已由健康保险实体报销的类似服务时。

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrical circuit system comprising electrical conductors on a flexible film and an article of manufacture made thereby, which may be used in place of printed circuit boards and which conductors form connector means for readily connecting to the leads of one or more sides of an electronic package. The electrical conductors also form a means for selectably connecting each electrical conductor from each pin to a selected input or output conductor, comprising a first and second plurality of conductors, such as a matrix having a column of conductors and a row of conductors. The electrical circuit system may be manufactured by numerous methods such as applying a conductive ink or paint by screening, photolithography or drawn by a digital plotter on a plastic film, such as Mylar. The film may include electrical edge connection means to provide input or output to or from said conductors. All or most of the system is integral, thus forming the conductors and the in-line connector portion of the conductors in continuum, using the same conductive material, such as ink, or paint and the same dielectric material, such as ink, or paint. A dielectric covers the appropriate portion of the system.

Abstract: A high fidelity earphone or hearing aid utilizes an acoustic path from a location near where the sound is delivered to the ear, to a location near the backside of the sound-producing diaphragm. A vent to the atmosphere from a location near the backside of the sound-producing diaphragm is also taught. A microphone on the earphone makes it safe to listen to the radio or a tape player in public, because of the capability of hearing outside sounds.
