Patent EP-0743042-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TIEN JONATHAN
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 1996-05-15
Abstract: A technique for the accurate determination of artifact free pulse 
oximetry signals utilizes an adaptive 
signal processor (210) and peak detector circuit (250). A 
reference signal (216) for the adaptive signal 
processor is derived based on mathematical 
relations of the detected light signals and the true intensity of light signals. The 
derivation of the appropriate reference signal requires the determination of peak 
values for two ratio constants. The two ratio constants lie within a known 
physiological range of values. When the value of the ratio constants has been 
determined, the reference signal equals the true intensity. The output of the adaptive 
signal processor (210) is provided to the peak 
detector (250). The peak detector (250) subdivides the 
known physiological range into two intervals and determines in which interval a peak 
exists. The remaining interval is discarded, and the peak detector repeats the 
measurement on the remaining interval until a peak has been detected within the 
desired accuracy. The value corresponding to the detected peak is one of the ratio 
constants. In a second alternative embodiment, 
the output of the adaptive filter (212) is fed 
directly to the peak detector (250) to determine 
values for the two ratio constants. In yet a 
third embodiment, two adaptive signal 
processors (210a,210b) are coupled to a ratio processor (280). 
The output of the ratio processor is at a minimum when the appropriate value is 
selected for each of the two ratio constants.

Abstract: The surface cleaning process uses carbon dioxide dry ice granulate (2), which is passed through a hose (6) and a jet gun (11) on the end. The gun is subjected to negative pressure to suck the granulate from a store (3). A separate air pressure line is used to spray the dry ice granulate onto the surface being treated. A jet pressure regulator is used to regulate the impact intensity of the dry ice granulate. It provides a pressure range of 3 to 20 bars. The jet pressure can be regulated by altering the air input forming the pressure.

Abstract: A cord comprising at least a first pair and a second pair of wires (2a, 2b) of different diameter randomly disposed in the transverse section thereof, is obtained by arranging in the nacelle (7) of a double-twisting laying machine, a twister (16) operating upstream of a preformer (15). The twister (16), rotating in a direction opposite to that of the impeller (5) and at a speed which is twice that of the impeller, neutralizes the internal torsional stresses induced in the wires (2a, 2b) by effect of the double twisting carried out upon the action of the impeller itself. Thus, a better control of the preforming operation executed on the wires (2a, 2b) disposed parallelly in respectively coplanar axes is enabled. The obtained cord (1), within each laying pitch and only under a traction condition involving a load not exceeding 5 kg, has at least one right section in which at least one wire (2a, 2b) is spaced apart from at least one of the adjacent wires so as to facilitate the rubberizing step, by enabling access of the blend to the section and penetration of same along the cord (1) axis. 
The cord is preferably used as a reinforcing element in belt structures for tyres.

Abstract: Ce dispositif automatique de remplissage (10) de seringues permet de remplir sur place des seringues avec un matériau fluide visco-élastique provenant d'un réservoir d'alimentation. Un boîtier (16) comprend un port qui reçoit l'extrémité de la sortie venant du réservoir d'alimentation (16) en fluide visco-élastique, et un logement (30) assujettit de façon réversible une seringue conventionnelle (12) devant être remplie à partir de ce réservoir. Un tube plastique souple (52), faisant de préférence partie de ce réservoir d'alimentation, relie ce dernier avec une extrémité de remplissage d'une seringue assujettie dans le logement de seringue. Une pompe péristaltique (60), montée dans le boîtier, comprend une tête rotative (64) dotée de plusieurs galets (70) qui expulsent le matériau visco-élastique du réservoir d'alimentation dans une seringue ainsi assujettie, par ce tube quand il est en place entre la tête de la pompe et un élément de soutien. Un dispositif de commande de pompe électrique (110) comporte un chronorupteur (128) étalonné pour provoquer le remplissage automatique de la seringue avec des quantités déterminées de mátériau visco-élastique venant du réservoir d'alimentation. Ce dispositif de commande comporte la pompe hors tension lorsque le remplissage d'une seringue atteint un niveau maximum pré-établi. Une pompe pneumatique (92) permet de mettre en pression le réservoir d'alimentation en matériau visco-élastique pour faciliter le pompage de ce matériau et éviter la formation de bulles d'air dans un seringue en cours de remplissage. On décrit un procédé correspondant qui permet de remplir sur place une seringue avec un fluide visco-élastique provenant d'un réservoir d'alimentation.
