Yes, the JANAF (Joint Army Navy Air Force) Thermochemical Tables are
what you want.  I have the Third Edition here.  It says it is published
by the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Physics
for the National Bureau of Standards, copyright 1986.

It also says Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data
             Volume 14, 1985
             Supplement No. 1
(Its a two volume set)

This has the right data in it to calculate the equilibrium composition
of air at any temperature.
Hope this helps.. Jim

	Some time ago we worked with our opthamology department, loaning
them an x-y mode storage scope for one of their projects. It was a device
that tracked eye position. As a demo, I was told to look at a picture on
the wall, (it was a lion.) After looking at it for a while, the MD then
showed me the stored x-y picture on the scope. I could actually See the
lion. The device had followed the position of my eyes as I looked at different
sections of the poster.

If you want, I'll get more info. But the devices are commercial products.
They are used in medicine for analysis of eye disorders, (such as the inability
to go from the end of one line of text to the beginning of the next without
skipping a line or going back.

	Anyway, check your local large medical center's opthamology department
first. If not, call me back.

Who is working on modeling the exchange processes through the cellular mem-
brane or has good knowledge of the biophysical properties of the cell?
My problem consists in computer simulation of the exchange dynamics during 
dialysis in kidney-insufficient patients. I know some other models, but in 
none of them I could find a fully satisfactory description of the water- and 
electrolyte-subsystem. At the moment I am developping an exchange model, which 
includes the active and the passive ionic fluxes of K+, Na+, Cl- and the osmo-
tic shift of water. For the implementation and validation of my system, I need 
some reliable data. These are: The Goldmann-Permeabilities for the passive 
flux of the ions, estimated for the whole body. In literature I only can find 
permeabilities per unit area of cell surface. I dont know the mean whole body-
cell surface. The second problem arises with estimating the initial intra-
cellular Na+ - and K+-concentrations. Where can I find significant data 
describing the relationship between the intra- and extracellular concentra-
tions of the alkali-metal-ions in dependence of pH?. Does anyone measure those 
concentrations in human cells (especially in muscle-cells). Please help me, if 
you know something about this subject.

Hi All,

With regards to my original questions regarding the control of a stepper
motor, I have recently discovered that this is not actually a stepper
motor but a 3-phase motor.  The actual part is a Tohoku Ricoh type
7M100200 with ratings of DC24V, 0.2A, 48W.  This 3-phase motor is part
of an optical housing assembly from a laser assembly which also includes
a laser drive assembly and scanning mechanicals.  What I need to know
is, how to operate and control this stepper motor, how to operate and
control the laser, and how to replace the laser diode with which
produces a visible beam.  For further project description and 3-phase
motor pin numbers and names, see below.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for any help in advance.
 Comments and suggestions are welcome.

 Glen Mead

 ---

 Project Summary:

By utilizing the optical housing from a laser printer and replacing the
laser diode with one of a visible wavelength, a display type laser
device can be constructed providingproper control circuitry is utilized.
Scanning functions would be provided by mirrors mounted on a 3-phase
motor assembly and a series of focusing lenses and mirrors.  Graphics
would be generated by turning the laser on and off at specific places
(determined by the frequency and duty cycle of the control waveform)
during each scan. Timing of the 3-phase motor and laser would be based
on a sync pulse generated in the optical housing assembly at the end of
each scan line.


 3-Phase motor pins:

 1 - W-Phase
 2 - V-Phase
 3 - U-Phase
 4 - H-W2
 5 - H-W1
 6 - H-V2
 7 - H-V1
 8 - H-U2
 9 - H-U1
 10 - H-GND
 11 - H-VCC
 12 - FG1
 13 - FG2

 NOTE: The H-??? pins are power and output pins for Hall elements,
 something else I could use a hand with. :-)

Subject: high voltage insulation breakdown
Organization: Intergraph Corporation, Huntsville, AL.
Distribution: usa
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1992 15:39:57 GMT

I am experiencing a breakdown of the insulating properties of a high
voltage wire which seems to be related to several possible causes.  I
am having difficulties determining the exact cause of the breakdown.
The following is a description of the materials, the application and
the failure mode:

This is a high voltage anode wire which connects the high voltage power 
supply (29KV) to a CRT in a color monitor.  The wire is constructed from
a single strand copper wire (.01" diam.) and wrapped with a braided copper
which has been tinned (solder dipped) resulting in a .031" diameter
conductor.  This is surrounded by a PVC insulation which has markings
such as "XLPVC   TV-40   VW-1 OR CSA   40KV DC STYLE 3239".  The high
voltage power supply is self contained in a metal box and the anode wire
exits the box through a rubber grommet.  The wire makes an "S" bend
inside the box and exits the box at a slight angle which causes some
compression of the insulation by the grommet.  I forgot to mention that
the wire insulation is .185" diameter with a wall thickness of .154".
The anode wire insulation is breaking down either under the grommet or
right at the edge of it resulting in high voltage arcing to the metal
box.  The arcing leaves a hole in the insulation and can occur either
inside the box or outside but is always associated with the grommet.

Has anyone had any experience with this kind of problem?  Our theories
so far include the possibility of a plasticizer in the grommet causing
a breakdown of the insulation but we have other designs which use the 
same materials but are oriented differently and these do not experience
the problem.  This leads us to believe that a combination of bends in
the wire, compression by the grommet and residual plasticizers within
the grommet could all contribute to the failures we are experiencing.
I am looking for a source of information or first hand knowledge from
anyone who is familiar with high voltage phenomenon.  Any info or 
direction to a source of information would be greatly appreciated.
