Patent EP-0355896-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CALABRESE GARY STEPHEN
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 1989-08-03
Abstract: Electrodes for the measurement of pCO2 and/or pO2 are calibrated with an exposed aliquot of a calibration liquid. A constituent such as a ferrioxalate salt in the calibration liquid is converted to the gas in a reproducible concentration by exposure of the aliquot to light. In some instances, the calibration liquid is equilibrated with air prior to exposure. Some mechanisms of light generation of carbon dioxide also consume oxygen, so as to depress the pO2 value by a reproducible amount. The use of two different calibration liquids enables both one-point and two-point calibration of the Clark oxygen electrode and the Severinghaus pCO2 electrode of a blood gas instrument. 
     Aqueous acidic ferrioxalate compositions are disclosed for use as calibrants of pCO2 and of pO2 after photodecomposition. Compositions with high iron(III) to oxalate molar ratios (e.g., 5:1 to 100:1 with 0.3 to 15 millimolar oxalate) produce carbon dioxide on exposure without oxygen consumption. Compositions with low iron(III) to oxalate ratios (e.g., 1:1000 to 1:2000) with 0.1 to 5 millimolar iron(III) produce carbon dioxide on exposure with concurrent oxygen consumption. Use of the two types of compositions enables calibration values to be established with varying pCO2 values and with, respectively, high and low pO2 values.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed which provide feedback control of ink viscosity in a drop marking system. The ink flow between two selected points is monitored and compared against a reference value by an electronic controller (34) such as a microprocessor. In the event that a flow time deviation is sensed, appropriate action is taken to change the flow time. A temperature sensor (80) input to the controller (34) permits temperature compensation to maintain ink composition substantially constant.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a portion of a seat is disclosed. A cover member is shaped to a predetermined shape and placed in a foam molding tool into which is injected an expandable liquid foaming material to mold a foam pad which is integrally bonded to the cover member. In the manufacturing of seat backs, the cover member consists of a tubular envelope cover positioned on a cantilever forming tool. Once the foam pad is molded, the cover member is turned inside out to enclose the foam pad with the cover member. The cover is then telescoped over a seat frame. Alternatively, the foam pad can be molded to a shaped fabric sheet, the envelope cover formed by sewing a second cover member to the fabric sheet. A seat cushion is made by shaping a cover member, placing the cover member in a foam molding tool which also holds the seat frame and injecting an expandable liquid foaming material into the mold to mold the foam cushion, bond the cushion to the cover and embed the seat frame in the foam. The edges of the cover are then wrapped around the side of the foam pad and attached to the frame. Alternatively, a side panel can be sewn to the cover and attached to the frame.

Abstract: An automatic adjustment mechanism for a cable brake is provided by a fixed quadrant gear (4) which is traversed by a locking pawl (6) on actuation of a brake lever (5), and a pivotable cable-tensioning quadrant gear (8) which is rotated on actuation of the brake lever (5) by the engagement therewith of an actuating pawl (10) carried by the lever (5). The two pawls (6 and 10) face in opposite directions. The actuating pawl (10) is cammed out of engagement with the teeth on the associated quadrant gear (8) when the lever (5) is fully released, allowing the quadrant gear (8) to rotate under the action of a torsion spring (16) to take up slack in the cable (12). A shear pin (20) resists the torsion spring (16) and prevents rotation of the cable-tensioning quadrant gear (8) for the period between initial installation of the brake mechanism and the first actuation of the lever (5) which automatically fractures the shear pin (20), takes up slack in the cable (12) and establishes and maintains the required pretension in the system.

Abstract: A graphics display system picking function tracks machine states of pickable primitive operators through the use of a pick stack and machine state memory. The pick stack operates as a stack when accessed by pipeline processors. Pipeline processors can add an element to the stack or remove elements from the stack as structures are processed. Selection or picking of an object causes a graphics control processor to randomly access the pick stack to determine the attributes of a picked primitive. The machine state memory is implemented as a video RAM allowing rapid copying of rows containing machine states for various structure levels in the hierarchy. A first area of the machine state memory stores the states relating to the structures in the hierarchy as they are executed. A second area retains an abbreviated state description for each pickable primitive while a final area contains abbreviated machine state information for picked objects to be echoed by the system. The pick stack and machine state memories operate together to provide rapid pick identification, picked primitive machine state identification, and picked primitive echoing. The use of separate picked primitive echo machine storage allows draining of the picked primitives without a complete re-traversal of the displayed list. This also results in reduced processing time.

Abstract: A method for quantitatively determining at least one chemical parameter of a sample employs two substances in intimate spatial contact, the first substance being a fluorophore which does not respond to the parameter to be determined and has an excitation and emission spectrum and the second substance being one which reacts to the parameter of the sample to be determined by altering its absorption spectrum. The emission spectrum of the fluorophore overlaps at least partially with the absorption spectrum of the second substance. To improve the long-term stability and to avoid frequent calibration, it is proposed that a chromophore is employed as second substance which influences the fluorescence of the fluorophore and whose absorption maximum is shifted as a function of the parameter to be determined, and that the reduction in the fluorescence decay t due to energy transfer between chromophore and fluorophore is used for the quantitative determination of the chemical parameter.
