A tri-leaflet heart valve includes an annular valve base with an inner surface forming an orifice through which blood flows from the upstream side to the downstream side. Three protruding hinges, each with concave sockets on opposite sides, are formed on the inner surface. Each hinge has a downstream face and an upstream face connected by a ridge. Three leaflets are respectively arranged between adjacent hinges. Each leaflet has round pivots on both sides that rest inside the concave sockets, allowing the leaflets to freely rotate in the annular valve base. When the leaflets are subject to a positive pressure from the blood flow, the leaflets are pushed open and allow a central flow. When the leaflets are subject to a negative pressure, the leaflets are closed to occlude the blood flow.

A method and apparatus for producing a high-velocity particle stream at low cost through multi-staged acceleration using different media in each stage. The particles are accelerated to a subsonic velocity (with respect to the velocity of sound in air) using one or more jets of gas at low cost, then further accelerated to a higher velocity using jets of water. Additionally, to enhance particle acceleration, a vortex motion is created, and the particles introduced into the fluid having vortex motion, thereby enhancing the delivery of particles to the target.

A novel and useful apparatus for and method of upsampling / interpolating a discrete-time input sample stream with time alignment utilizing the addition of randomized high frequency noise. The upsampling mechanism is an effective implementation of a second order interpolator that eliminates the need for a conventional filter as the filtering action is effectively built into the mechanism. The upsampling mechanism takes the derivative of the discrete-time input sample stream, thereby effectively providing another order of interpolation over a conventional interpolator. Before outputting the interpolated signal, an integrator takes the integral of the interpolated samples. Any processing performed between the derivative and integrator blocks effectively provides an additional order of interpolation. High frequency noise (i.e. dithering) is added to the differentiated samples in order to eliminate the spectral regrowth spurs that would otherwise appear in the output after rounding. Delay alignment is performed on the differentiated samples in order to time align both phase / frequency and amplitude samples that are processed on different paths.

A fully and continuously vented drinking cup or container for infants and children, which consists of a vessel or container for containing a liquid or formula, having a resilient spout which rests upon its uppermost edge. The interior aspects of the feeding spout, and the feeding diaphragm, are all molded so as to arrange the diaphragm slit, or opening through which the liquid flows, in a position that will be vertically aligned between the lips of the infant feeding, to thereby allow the infant to open the spout and allow the liquid to flow, just as if the child is drinking from a cup. The diaphragm may be shaped concavely, with respect to the structure of the feeding spout. A cap firmly approximates the interior aspects of the feeding spout, and applies it to the top or upper edge of the container, whereby a leak proof seal is formed therebetween, but yet allows air to enter between its retaining collar, and the vent tube and reservoir tube, to allow air access into the container, as liquid is being drank therefrom.

When a control circuit detects from a signal CPO4 that a battery voltage is less than a sixth reference voltage, a constant current operation in VFM control is performed with respect to a switching transistor and a synchronous rectification transistor in accordance with signals RVDET and CPO3. Furthermore, when the control circuit detects from the signal CPO4 that the battery voltage becomes equal to or greater than the sixth reference voltage, the constant current operation in PWM control is performed in accordance with a signal CPO2. When an output signal CVDET from a constant current / constant voltage switching detection circuit becomes high level, operation control with respect to the switching transistor and the synchronous rectification transistor is switched from the PWM control of constant current operations to the PWM control of constant voltage operations in accordance with a signal CPO1.

A brushless electrical machine, usable as a motor, generator, or alternator, has a rotor that is comprised of a rim portion and a substantially open center portion. The rim portion has a partially hollow core in which a stationary field coil is supported. Current to the field coil generates magnetic flux that circulates in a poloidal flux path in the rim, crossing a single magnetic air gap formed by the rim. Protrusions in the rim located around the circumference form poles all having the same polarity. As the rotor rotates, the flux exiting the poles passes through multiple stationary armature windings around the circumference that are located in the single air gap. An AC voltage is induced in the armature windings from rotation.
