Patent EP-0818682-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZIEGLER WERNER
IPC: G01N21/31
Filed: 1997-07-09
Abstract: An optical method for determining the haemoglobin (HG) concentration in non-haemolysed whole blood uses at least two measurement wavelengths are used with the first ( lambda 1) at 805 nm and the second ( lambda 2) at 805 nm. The absorption coefficients of the HG derivatives O2Hb and RHb for the two wavelengths are  sigma O( lambda 1)- sigma R( lambda 2) and  sigma R( lambda 1)- sigma O( lambda 2). The absorption values (A1,A2) are set for the wavelengths  lambda 1 and  lambda 2, and the sum of both absorption values (A1+A2) is proportional to the total HG concentration (tHb) independently of the oxygen saturation (O2sat). Also claimed is apparatus for the process, in which the pitch angle ( beta 1, beta 2) of the optical axes (2'.3'), and the gap (e) between them at the intersection of the capillary channel (1) are matched to the diameter of the channel (1). The excitation light cone (8) and the detection light cone (9) overlap at the inner wall (10) of the capillary channel (1) filled with aqueous solution. When the channel (1) is filled with whole blood, they do not overlap through the reduced mean penetration depth of the measurement rays.

Abstract: An elastomeric member (1),(3),(5),(8),(10) for a tire-building machine, such as an
inflatable bead turn-up bladder (1), center sleeve (8) or bead lock sleeve, includes at
least one base layer or sleeve of elastomeric material which terminates in a pair
of end members (26)(27) for mounting the sleeve on the tire-building machine. A
plurality of reinforcing cords (13) may be embedded within the sleeve to provide
internal reinforcement. A strip of an abrasion-resistant material (20) is bonded to all
or a portion of the inner or outer surfaces of the sleeve to protect those areas
of the sleeve that are subject to abrasion when contacting various portions of
the tire or tire-building machine during assembly of a green tire carcass. A
coating of an adhesion-release material (30) may be applied to portions (32) of the strip
of abrasion-resistant material to reduce adhesion of the sleeve to the tacky
elastomeric portions of the green tire carcass when contacted by expansion or
movement of the sleeve during assembly of the green tire.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical add/drop device comprising at least two optical filter units (OADE). An individual filter unit comprises a first, second and third port so that when all signals of the aggregate signal are present at the first port (A), said desired signal is present at the second port (B) and all other signals except the desired signal are present at the third port (C). To provide flexible altering possibilities, a number of filter units (OAADE1...OADE8) are placed in succession to form at least two pairs of filter units in such a way that in each pair the first filter unit operates at a given wavelength as a signal dropping unit and the second as an adding unit corresponding to the first unit, adding to the aggregate signal a signal having the same wavelength. Furthermore, the device comprises for each pair an optical switching element (SWi) having at least two positions and being connected to the filter units of the corresponding pair in such a way that in its first position it switches the second port (B) of the dropping filter unit to the second port (B) of the corresponding add filter unit, and in its second position the transmitter means to the second port (B) of the add unit and the receiver means to the second port (B) of the drop unit.

Abstract: A reduced keyboard disambiguating system. The keyboard has twelve to sixteen keys, nine of them labeled with numerous letters and other symbols, and those nine plus one more are associated each with one of the ten digits. Textual entry keystrokes are ambiguous. The user strikes a delimiting "Select" key, or a key with an unambiguous character interpretation, at the end of each word, delimiting a keystroke sequence that could match any of a plurality of words associated with the same keystroke sequence. Each input keystroke sequence is processed with a complete vocabulary, and words which match the sequence of keystrokes are presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. The vocabulary is stored in a special format that supports significant data compression without requiring additional processing. In addition, stems of longer words whose initial letters match the sequence of keystrokes are also presented to the user in order of decreasing frequency of use. If the frequency of the words associated with a stem is high enough, that stem is displayed as the default word object. Activations of an ambiguous key associated with a plurality of punctuation characters are disambiguated from the context of the surrounding keystrokes.
