Abstract: 577,888. Cables. OKONITE-CALLENDER CABLE CO., Inc. March 30, 1945, No. 8131. Convention date, April 4, 1944. [Class 36] A stranded conductor 2, Fig. 1, with rubber insulation 4 and a jute cushioning layer 6, has a covering of plywood tape 8. A phenolic adhesive may be used in making the plywood as the curing or setting of the adhesive may be carried out after application of the plywood to the conductor insulation. The plywood may be impregnated by passing the cable and its covering through a bath of bitumen, and it may also be treated with a fireproof impregnant. An alternative form of conductor, Fig. 2, has the conductor 2 covered with oil impregnated paper 10, a lead sheath 12, and two helically wound tapes of plywood 14, 16, preferably in the same sense. Alternatively, helically wound rods of plywood may replace the tapes.

Abstract: 1,182,698. Typewriters. LITTON BUSINESS SYSTEMS Inc. 20 Dec., 1967 [20 Dec., 1966], No. 57958/67. Heading B6F. Type-wheel machines; impression mechanism.- A print head operating mechanism for a data print-out machine includes an oscillatory reed 58, Fig. 1, fixed at one end and displaceable at its distal end by a pair of electromagnets 60 to store potential energy in the reed, an impression operation being initiated by deenergizing the electromagnets and completed by the momentum of the print head. The print head comprises a type-wheel 6, Fig. 4, held by a frame 24 pivoted at 23 to fixed trunnions 22 and is actuatable by a slide block 44 formed with projecting shoulders 45, 46 which engage feet 47, 48 on the frame 24 when the block 44 is moved by tension in a flexible steel tape 55, Fig. 5, threaded around a pulley 54 fixed to the block. The tape 55 is fixed at one end and connected at its other end to the distal end of the reed 58, so that when the reed is released by the electromagnets 60, the tape is tensioned, thereby moving the slide block 44 and rocking the frame 24 about its pivot 23 to effect an impression. The electromagnets 60 are intermittently energized to return the reed 58 to its displaced position. The reed is stated to reach the electromagnet at a low velocity, thus decreasing noise. The face of the reed adjacent the electromagnets 60 may be coated with polytetrafluoroethylene. Type wheels; case shift mechanism; aligning for impression.-The type wheel 6 carries two rows of characters and may be formed integrally with a shaft 25 of moulded nylon material. A pair of levers 31 having bifurcated ends which engage with an annular projection 33 formed on the shaft 25 are pivotable about a pin 32 by opposed electromagnets 35, 36 to select the row of characters required. Balanced springs 37, 37<SP>1</SP> aid the pivoting of the levers 31. The electromagnets 35, 36 may be formed with polytetrafluoroethylene caps 38. Character selection is effected by rotation of the type wheel 6 on the shaft 25 by a stepping motor 28. The shaft 25 is linked to the motor drive shaft 27 by a universal joint (26), Fig. 7 (not shown). The type wheel has an inner periphery (Fig. 8, not shown), formed with recesses registered with the characters thereon and which coact with a projection to align the wheel for impression. Type carriages; letter spacing.-The trunnions 22 are fixed to a frame 20 mounted for movement parallel to the platen 3 along a rod 4 and a rail 5. Stepwise motion is effected by a stepping motor (15), Fig. 1A (not shown), acting through flexible steel tapes 8, 17, Fig. 1, fixed to the frame 20.

The parabolic sections have vertices which lie spaced apart on the y axis adjacent the co-ordinate zero point but three of the four actual reflecting surfaces deviate from a true parabolic shape near their vertices so that they all pass through the co-ordinate zero. The remaining surface is a true paraboloid passing through the zero and where this intersects the top surface of the reflector there is provided a perforation to allow heat and light to pass to an indicator to show if the flash-bulb has been used. The design permits maximum utilization of the space in a flash-cube with increased light output. The parabolic sections in the preferred embodiment are defined mathematically.

Title: Transcutaneous gas sensor
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1980-01-02
Abstract: A transcutaneous gas sensor includes a sensing electrode having an exposed surface region which, in use, is applied to the body surface of the patient with an electrolyte layer between the electrode and the patient's body. The exposed surface region can consist of an individual surface area, or several such surface areas, the or each exposed surface area(s) of the electrode having a sufficiently small width dimension and being shaped and arranged so that the depletion zone set up in the electrolyte layer when the sensor is in use is confined to a depth not exceeding about 1 mm. The sensor does not need a membrane. The flow of gas from the patient's blood to his body surface can be encouraged by local heating of the area under investigation. Detection of the current flowing through the electrode as a result of the electrochemical reaction in the electrolyte layer provides a measure of the gas partial pressure in the patient's blood. <IMAGE>
