Title: Fluid measurement evaluation system - is for multiple urine test strips and has positioning and illumination device, converter and recorder
Inventor: SCHRAEDER KLAUS
IPC: G01N21/86
Filed: 1976-06-14
Abstract: A fluid measurement evaluator is for multiple urine test strips for medical tests. It has a positioning and illumination device, and has a photoelectric detector, converter and recorder. The individual test zones of the test strip to be evaluated are coated with chemical reagents and are allocated to various parameters of the fluid. The light is remitted according to the colour value of the relevant test zone and detected. The positioning and illumination device is designed for the stationary positioning of the test strip. Selective illumination and transmission elements are arranged for the test zones and a multiplexer is connected to a signal generator.

Title: Centrally controlled telephone exchange - allows sync. data transfer from central unit to peripherals
Inventor: DIERSSEN HEINZ ING
IPC: H04Q3/42
Filed: 1976-09-01
Abstract: The centrally-controlled telephone exchange allows data to be passed a synchronisation from the central unit to the peripherals controlled by this unit. Data is stored in memories (LS) in the peripherals (P) themselves. These discrete memories receive data one after another from a shared circulating memory in the central unit. The outputs of the discrete memories are typically connected to relays (F1 etc.). The circulating memory consists of a ring counter each of whose stages is coupled to a flip flop. Each flip flop drives a digital amplifier assigned to one peripheral line.

IPC: F24H7/02
Filed: 1998-11-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne le four de chauffage d'un foyer (2) et les corps d'accumulation de chaleur entourant ce dernier. Une première série de corps d'accumulation de chaleur (3, 4; 27) est placée parallèlement à la paroi respective (5, 6; 24) du foyer (2) et ce, à une première distance. Une deuxième série de corps d'accumulation de chaleur (12, 14; 25) est placée également parallèlement au côté extérieur respectif des premiers corps d'accumulation de chaleur et ce, à une deuxième distance. On obtient ainsi pour chaque configuration, un premier canal d'air (16, 17; 28) dû à la première distance et un deuxième canal d'air (15, 18;26) dû à la deuxième distance. L'air contenu dans le premier canal d'air est chauffé par les parois du foyer, monte, se refroidit au contact des corps d'accumulation de chaleur environnants et redescend vers le bas du deuxième canal tout en continuant à perdre de la chaleur au contact des corps d'accumulation de chaleur. Ensuite, l'air refroidi revient dans le premier canal. Et le cycle décrit recommence dans l'échangeur de chaleur.
