A system and method for establishing hybrid communications which establishes said communication with any one of a variety of different wireless communication devices enabled to receive satellite data transmissions such as satellite radio either directly via an over the air network or through the provision of a short range transceiver assembly so as to provide data communication from to the wireless communication device from a computer network, such as the Internet or a LAN connected to the Internet, utilizing a computer network access. The wireless communication device is structured to seamlessly auto switch its operation between either of at least two independent frequencies for communication with the computer network or with the over-the-air network, dependent on predetermined parameters including the acceptance of a unique identifier or code and/or the positioning of the wireless communication device within a predetermined vicinity range relative to the network access.

Hybrid communication system and method

A thermal clutch assembly is comprised of a radially inner rotatable member, a radially outer rotatable member a pair of axially spaced apart ring structures, and a thin tension web. The ring structures are both affixed to and rotate with one of the rotatable members and each has at least one substantially axial surface which may contact substantially axial surfaces of the other rotatable member. The tension web has high tensile strength, a high surface area to volume ratio, a thermally efficient flow arrangement to the surrounding medium, and high thermal conductivity. The tension web is secured to each of the two ring structures and substantially spans the space between the substantially axial surfaces of the ring structures, the web having a significantly higher thermal coefficient of expansion than the material between the substantially axial surfaces of the other rotatable member. In this manner, the web is in tension at temperatures of the surrounding medium below a predetermined temperature thereby causing the substantially axial surfaces of the ring structures to engage the substantially axial surfaces of the other rotatable member for coupling the two rotatable members for rotating together, and is not in tension at temperatures of the surrounding medium at or above the predetermined temperature thereby causing the substantially axial surfaces of the ring structures to disengage from the substantially axial surfaces of the other rotating structure for de-coupling the two rotatable members so they do not rotate together.

Communication system and method

A miniature wireless transcutaneous electrical neuro or muscular stimulation unit. The unit has a housing attached to a plurality of electrodes. An electronics module containing an electrical circuit is contained within the housing and provides a sequence of monophasic or biphasic pulses to a patient's pain site via the electrodes. The electrodes can be disposable and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The patient may select and control the intensity and the frequency of the pulses by choosing one of several TENS and microcurrent waveforms, as well as the orientation and quantity of the electrodes. The means for supplying power to the electronics module can be integrated with the electrodes in one detachable and disposable assembly. A worn-remote controller can send transmission signals to a receiver within the electronic module thereby allowing the patient to program specific units placed on the patient's body to perform operations in a specified series of waveforms. The electrodes may be embedded in a splint, bandage, brace or cast, where wires or flex-circuit material connect the electrodes to the unit. The electrodes can be arranged in a grid-like manner to allow for programming of a specific firing order which provides for greater therapeutic effect to a pain site, and may also be embedded in adhesive strips, similar to a conventional Band-Aid.

An apparatus is disclosed for detecting a leak in a valve and the magnitude of the leak. The valve has an upstream seal, a downstream seal and an inner cavity isolated by the seals. The apparatus comprises a mechanism for generating random pressure pulses in the inner cavity, a first sensor for detecting the onset of each pressure pulse and generating a trigger signal, a second sensor for sensing pressure pulses within the inner cavity and generating a representative second signal for each sensed pressure pulse and a third sensor located either upstream of the upstream seal or downstream of the downstream seal. The third sensor senses pressure pulses and generates a representative third signal for each sensed pressure pulse. Analysis circuitry samples and synchronously averages the second and third signals to determine the existence and magnitude of a seal leak.
