Abstract: To verify that the handset of a cordless telephone unit is still within the radio coverage area of the fixed station, rather than attempt to establish connection with the switched network and verify contact as a result of receiving a dial tone, or dialing a special number in the network, a user can merely activate a radio coverage verification circuit in the handset and fixed station. Through use of these circuits, in addition to the identification number of the station, a code is transmitted. The identification and code, when received by the opposite station, are verified with number and code values stored in that station, and the number and code are then retransmitted as an acknowledgement signal. An annunciator in the handset provides a visual or aural warning to the user if the acknowledgement signal is not received, indicating that the handset is not within the radio coverage area of the fixed station.

Abstract: A synchronizing circuit using a D-type flip-flop 1 for synchronizing an asynchronous input signal (ø₀) with a clock pulse can be in a metastable or logically undeter­mined state when the transition of the state of the input signal coincides with the rise of the clock pulse. For preventing such metastability the synchronizing cir­cuit comprises means to prevent the supply of the input signal to the flip-flop during the state of transition of the clock signal. These means preferably include gate means (10,12) for supplying the input signal and the complementary thereof as set and reset signals, respectively, to a Set-Reset-Flip-Flop 8, whose output is supplied to the flip-flop 1 as the input signal, said gate means (10,12) being controlled by a control signal obtained by delaying the clock pulse.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multilayer electro-optical material having a plurality of adjacent, single crystals of varying electro-optical properties. This material is made by a method wherein the successive layers are epitaxially grown from a molten solution of said electro-optical material optionally containing at least one dopant. 
     In one embodiment, such electro-optic material comprises silver thiogallate, wherein successive epitaxial layers are grown from a molten solution of silver thiogallate and potassium chloride, and which optionally includes at least one dopant. This molten solution exhibits the characteristic that, for any specific solution composition, layers having different electro-­optical properties can be obtained by cooling over the temperature range which will yield crystal growth of the composition corresponding to the desired electro-optical properties. By taking advantage of this temperature/­composition phase precipitation, multi-layers are formed by cooling first within one temperature range to form on the seed crystal substrate a layer of silver thiogallate including the dopant and then subsequently forming on this first layer a second layer of different composition varying from substantially pure silver thiogallate to silver thiogallate including at least one dopant, by cooling within a different temperature range. By successively alternating between cooling over these different tempeature ranges, multiple layers are formed with adjacent layers having different electro-optical properties. 
     The multi-layered structures produced by the above method can be utilized in electro-optical devices, and particularly as the tunable birefringent medium in tunable electro-optic filters.

Abstract: A prehensile container is provided for demounting and storing used hypodermic needles and/or surgical blades pending their ultimate disposal. The same hand that holds the container can actuate the closure blade by finger force to clear an orifice for passage of a used hypodermic needle. When the end of the syringe to which the needle is affixed abuts the mouthpiece of the orifice, the finger force can be released to hold the needle between the edge of an aperture of the shutter blade and an edge of the orifice, so that the needle can be separated by withdrawal of the syringe with one hand while holding the container with the other. Another exertion of finger force will let the used needle drop into the container and a second release will restore the closed condition of the container. Internal baffles obstruct the exit of stored needles, to prevent an unauthorized person from extracting a needle from the container by opening the access orifice.

Abstract: A fluid delivery monitoring and control apparatus for use in a medication infusion system is designed for use with a disposable fluid pathway that incorporates a sterile cassette (12) containing pumping elements (28, 30, 32) and sensor interfaces. The apparatus comprises a multi-segment drive mechanism (14), controller (18) and monitoring system. Fluid pumping is accomplished by controlling DC motors (36) in the drive mechanism, each of which is coupled to two valves (28,32) and a reciprocating piston (30) for an individual pumping channel in the cassette. The motor is geared down to provide an approximate maximum speed and torque. A cam (38) sequentially actuates an inlet valve (28), piston (30), and an outlet valve (32) in the cassette. A range of fluid delivery rates is achieved by periodically sending pulses to the motor. The output flow rate of the pump is maintained by the digital feedback controller which uses a closed-loop feedback controller (60) to provide accurate regulation. At regular time intervals, the controller computes the motor voltage pulse width based upon feedback information from an encoder (46).
