Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil destiné à augmenter la ventilation d'un patient (100) et à contrôler le mode de respiration du patient au moyen d'un cathéter transtrachéal (10). Un flux sensiblement constant d'oxygène/air est introduit par une des lumières (12) du cathéter transtrachéal (10) dans la trachée (101) du patient, pour augmenter la respiration spontanée du patient. Un détecteur de respiration (80, 82, 85 ou 87) mesure une propriété physique prédéterminée (par exemple la pression ou le débit) associée à la respiration du patient à l'extrémité distale (17) du cathéter transtrachéal (10). Ces données sont enregistrées pour contrôler le mode de respiration du patient de manière prolongée pour une analyse ultérieure. Les données de respiration peuvent être enregistrées sur un diagramme à déroulement continu ou mémorisées sous forme numérique pour être transmises par un modem ou un support de mémorisation de données amovible à une installation à distance pour être analysées. Un capnomètre (87) peut être connecté à une des lumières (16) du cathéter transtrachéal pour mesurer la concentration de dioxyde de carbone dans l'air rejeté par le patient (100). L'extrémité distale du cathéter transtrachéal (10) peut également être équipé d'une sonde d'oxymétrie (85) qui entre en contact avec la muqueuse de la trachée (101) du patient pour mesurer la saturation du sang en oxygène. Les données d'oxymétrie sont enregistrées conjointement avec les données de respiration et sont utilisées pour diagnostiquer et contrôler des troubles du sommeil tels que l'apnée et l'hypopnée du sommeil.

Abstract: An optical analog-to-digital converter (10) which fully operates in the optical
domain and utilizes an upward-folding successive approximation approach for
conversion. The converter (10) includes a plurality of optical stages (14, 16, 18)
where each stage (14, 16, 18) generates a digital bit. Each stage (14, 16, 18)
includes an optical threshold switch (30, 56, 78) that sets the bit high when the
switch (30, 56, 78) is closed. When a sample amplitude of the analog signal is
compared to a threshold value and found to exceed the threshold value, the bit is
set to "high" and the sample is passed directly onto the next stage (14, 16, 18). If
the sample amplitude is found to be less than the threshold value, the bit is set to
"low" and an intensity equal to the maximum signal intensity minus the threshold
intensity is added to the sample amplitude. Each successive stage (14, 16, 18)
compares the normalized signal sample to thresholds growing closer and closer
to the maximum signal intensity. Multiple bits can be obtained by cascading
stages.

Abstract: A method of providing a cup-type carton with a bead (16) is disclosed
wherein the carton is formed from a folding box board type material
prone to delamination. The bead is formed by urging the edge (20) of the
carton within an arcuate channel which, by virtue of the upward
motion of the carton, cause the edge and the board material of the
side wall immediately behind the edge to deform outwardly. When
the curled edge emerges from the alternate side of said channel, an
orientation means (24) is brought into contact therewith and forces the
edge inwardly of the bead thus formed so that it contacts the outer
surface of the side wall of the carton in a tangential manner. The
edge is retained within the bead by virtue of its contact with the
side wall, and the desire of the board material to elastically recover
compresses the edge against said side wall. The effect of bead
formation which is to delaminate plies of the board is minimised
and a neat bead is ensured.

This signaling packet is transmitted using the same data channels as those used by the lost packet. The signaling packet comprises an indicator signaling its nature and the nature of the lost data packet, within its header. The system limits the additional data which is transmitted, in order to measure the rate of data packet loss occurring.
