Title: Apparatus for Measuring and Indicating the Blood Pressure of Patients.
Inventor: OGLIO GIORGIO DALL
IPC: A61B5/022
Filed: 1967-08-10
Abstract: 1,197,796. Measuring blood pressure. D. DALL'OGLIO. 10 Aug., 1967, No. 36694/67. Heading A5K. Blood pressure determining apparatus comprises an inflatable cuff 70, a pressure resistance transducer 72 and a microphase 75 for converting the pressure in the cuff and the Korotkoff sounds, respectively, into electrical quantities, means for obtaining cardiac beat signals, an electronic assembly D for comparing the coincidence and non-coincidence of the cardiac beat and the Korotkoff sounds and digital counters and indicators for registering the pressure in the cuff at coincidence (systolic pressure) and non-coincidence (diastolic pressure), respectively. The cuff is inflated by a compressor 71 and connected to a mercury manometer 72. As the pressure within the cuff is exhausted through a valve 73, the microphase 75 placed adjacent the cuff detects Korotkoff sounds, as the pressure falls from that corresponding to the stystolic pressure of the subject, and transmits signals to an amplifying shaper unit 81. The manometer 72 is connected as a pressure resistance transducer in a circuit with an oscillator 80 which generates pulses of a frequency corresponding to the pressure in the cuff. An amplifier and pulse shaper 82 receives cardiac beat signals. Signals corresponding to the Karotkoff sounds and the cardiac beat are compared at an agreement logical circuit 83 for coincidence or non-coincidence. At coincidence, a measuring lapical circuit 84 which is connected to a fixed frequency oscillator 85, transmits the pulses generated by the oscillator 80 to counters 90, 91, 92 for indicating stystolic pressure At non-coincidence the pulses generated by the oscillator 80 are transmitted to the counters 96, 97, 98 to indicate diastolic pressure. The counters may transmit signals indicative of systolic and diastolic pressure to a graphical recording device or teleprinter. The electronic assembly may be mounted in a frame remote from the patient and each assembly may be connected to several patients.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric circuit breaking devices
IPC: H01H77/10
Filed: 1958-11-14
Abstract: 904,444. Automatic circuit breaker. COMPAGNIE GENERALE D'ELECTRICITE. Nov. 14, 1958 [Nov. 15, 1957], No. 36781/58. Class 38 (5). A multi-pole circuit breaker has independent tripping means for each pole, the affected pole tripping and the actual movement of the contact assembly tripping the other poles by a common mechanical tripping means. Even before the tripping means operates, however, electrodynamic repulsion of the contacts, against the springs which provide the contact pressure, opens the contacts to produce an arc and limit the current. In the form shown, a magnetic trip 1 raises the lever 4 which rocks lever 5 and releases the catch 6 from the movable contact assembly 7 which is pivoted at 10 and opens in response to spring 11. A projection 12 strikes the lever 13 which operates the common trip 14. This moves the toggle member 16 by means (not shown) to move the members 21, associated with the respective poles and also pivoted at 10, downwardly to open all the poles and allow the catch 6 to re-close. A thermal tripping device may also be incorporated. Specification 820,250 is referred to.

Title: Placement of image on matrix display
IPC: G09B9/32
Filed: 1971-08-05
Abstract: 1351157 Aircraft simulator SINGER CO 5 Aug 1971 [25 Aug 1970] 36816/71 Heading H4F In an aircraft simulator the video signal from a television camera 42 is arranged to be displayed in response to simulated changes in the position of an observer, i.e. azimuth and elevation changes from a computer 36, at any position 67 on a plurality (four as shown) of television raster displays 52a-52d arranged to form a continuous raster display area 66, the image 67 appearing as a continuous raster displayed on one or more of the displays. Background information of low detail is displayed on those portions of the total viewing area 66 not covered by the image 67, e.g. ground and sky information controlled by attitude inputs from the computer. Visibility modulators may be included to simulate fog. The image source for the television camera 42 comprises a film taken by a motion picture camera on an aircraft, perspective transformation being effected optically or electronically on the resulting video in response to simulator control signals from a computer. Data for the computer relating to the line of flight etc. are also recorded on the film. The film transport comprises a standard pulsed pulldown type. The video signal is distributed via video switches 54a-54d to the displays, these switches being controlled by a switch logic 56 to properly position, along with fixed sync delays 57c, the image in the desired position on the total display. The sync delays are so arranged that a continuous raster in both horizontal and vertical directions is effected over all the displays, e.g. line trace 70 is followed by line trace 72. The image 67 is positioned in the continuous raster in dependence upon the azimuth and elevation signals from the computer which control the video switches 54a-54d and the variable sync delays 57a and 57b which adjust the relative time relationship between the camera raster and the display raster scans. The wide-angle display which is achieved by combining a number of display devices may be effected as shown in Fig. 6, by three tiers of mirror beam splitter infinity image CRT displays, the horizontal field of view being increased by butting together two or more (e.g. three) such tiered displays as shown in Fig. 7. Each display comprises a CRT 114, a spherical mirror 110 and a beam splitter 112, the spherical mirror and beam splitter of adjacent tiers being placed close together as shown in Fig. 6.

Title: Warning and supervising apparatus
IPC: G07C5/08
Filed: 1963-09-20
Abstract: 1,014,216. Supervising apparatus using sound recordings. L. A. J. DUBOSQ and R. G. E. HOUSSAYE. Sept. 20, 1963 [Sept. 24, 1962], No. 37046/63. Heading G5R. [Also in Divisions B7 and G1] Supervising apparatus for a machine comprises a device detecting various values relating to a parameter of normal operation of the machine and devices for detecting possible defects, the devices being coupled to sound playback apparatus to give corresponding spoken announcements and the arrangement being such that announcements warning of defects have priority over announcements giving values of the parameter. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 for monitoring a motor vehicle the portion 2V of the rotating record drum 2 contains recordings announcing the speed of the vehicle whilst the portion 2D contains ten recordings relating to possible defects such as excessive temperature, too little oil, water, or fuel, or break in an electric circuit. The playback head 5 for portion 2V is driven parallel to the axis of drum 2 by a motor M2 to select the appropriate track. A speedometer moves an index 20 in accordance with the speed and the index 20 operates a switch 17 attached to the head mounting to control motor M2. The speed recordings extend over 180-degree arcs and a system of cams and relays ensures that the head is only traversed when it is positioned over a blank 180-degree arc. The mounting for the playback head 5 carries a contact 10 which engages one of a plurality of mutually insulated sleeves 11a-11g which are so connected that if the speed exceeds a certain manually set level, the output from the head 5 is treated as an alarm signal. A second playback head (not shown in Fig. 1) for portion 2D of record drum 2 is carried on a mounting provided with a contact adapted to ride over a row of contacts connected to transducers which indicate defects. Normally the mounting is reciprocated over the row of contacts, and if it finds a live contact the mounting is stopped and the corresponding announcement played back. The announcement is repeated four times and then the movement of the mounting is continued in the search for possible further defects. The outputs of the two playback heads pass through an amplifier to a loud-speaker, which may be the loud-speaker of a radio set. If the loudspeaker is manually switched to the radio set, defect signals and alarm signals indicating excessive speed cause the loud-speaker to be switched to the amplifier so that the announcements are transmitted, but the normal speedindicating announcements are not transmitted. If the loud-speaker is manually switched to the amplifier, all announcements are transmitted but defect or alarm signals have priority over speed-indicating announcements.
