Abstract: A plurality of groups of delay time data corresponding to a plurality of focal distances Fn satisfying a condition that a ratio (Fi - Fi-1)/(Fi-1 - Fi-2) is equal to a constant value higher than one are stored in a focus memory. Therefore, the groups of delay time data corresponding to short focal distances are densely stored.          When a particular focal distance is specified, a plurality of ultrasonic pulses delayed according to a particular group of delay time data corresponding to the particular focal distance are transmitted from a plurality of micro-piezoelectric transducers to a focal point of an organism at the particular focal distance. Thereafter, a plurality of echo signals reflected at the focal point of the organism are received by the micro-piezoelectric transducers, and a piece of tomographic image data indicating a portion of a tomographic image is produced in a signal processing unit. Therefore, in cases where one or more particular focal distances are specified, pieces of tomographic image data indicating a tomographic image are produced according to one or more particular group of delay time data, and the tomographic image is displayed according to the tomographic image data.
Patent CA-2166914-C (CA)
Inventor: CRAWFORD FERDON H
IPC: G01N33/72
Filed: 1996-01-10
Granted: 1998-06-16
Abstract: The present invention involves a method and apparatus for measuring the density or specific gravity of a fluid sample.  A reservoir (28) contains another fluid of known density which is not miscible with the fluid sample.  Sensors (32, 34) are disposed proximate to the reservoir to detect the passage of the fluid sample through the non-miscible fluid medium.  A microprocessor (50, 72) monitors the sensor and calculates the specific gravity of the fluid sample.  The microprocessor measures the amount of time one sensor is eclipsed at a point as the fluid sample droplet falls through the fluid medium and calculates the density or specific gravity based on that amount of time.  The microprocessor also may measure a second amount of time, the time required for the fluid sample to traverse through the fluid medium between two sensors.  The microprocessor can use this second amount of time to measure the fluid droplet diameter or size. The microprocessor corrects the calculated density or specific gravity for any deviation caused by the size of the fluid sample.

Abstract: A sensor dispensing instrument includes a sensor magazine that contains a plurality of blood glucose sensors disposed in sensor slots. Each of the sensor slots is in fluid communication with a desiccant cavity in which desiccant material is disposed. The front and rear walls of the sensor magazine are sealed with burst foils so as to seal the sensor slots and the desiccant cavities. The sensor instrument has an outer housing with a laterally extending magazine opening adapted to receive the sensor magazine. A pivot rod is moved through the magazine and an indexing wheel into an operating position with a detent arm on the instrument housing engaging a detent groove on the magazine to position the magazine in a sensor feeding position. Once so positioned, a sensor push rod is pushed forward resulting in the push rod piercing the rear burst foil and engaging a sensor in one of the sensor slots to thereby push the sensor out through the front burst foil and into a testing position. Once a test is completed, the push rod is advanced forward further to thereby eject the used sensor from the sensor handling instrument. The push rod then is retracted to a standby position. As the push rod is being retracted, a pin associated with the push rod causes the indexing wheel to rotate so that the pivot rod is rotated until the detent arm engages another detent groove so that another sensor slot is in alignment with the push rod.

Abstract: A sacrificial anode assembly is insertable into a metal water storage tank to inhibit corrosion thereof and includes a cylindrical metal anode member having an end retained within a cylindrical plastic insulating sleeve which, in turn, is captively retained within a metal cap portion of the assembly. To regulate the amount of electrical current generated by the assembly during use thereof, a barrel-shaped resistor is supported within the assembly and interconnected between its anode and cap portions. The insulating sleeve has a generally U-shaped groove formed in a closed end thereof, with one leg of the groove extending diametrically across a central opening in the sleeve end that receives a core wire portion of the anode member, and the other groove leg extending generally chordwise relative to the sleeve end. The resistor body is received within the chordwise groove leg, and a lead wire of the resistor is extended through the curved and diametrically extending groove portions and spot welded to the core wire portion received in the central sleeve end opening. The configuration of the groove and the relative orientation of the resistor and sleeve opening causes the bent lead wire to form a resilient connection between the spot weld and the resistor body, thereby substantially reducing vibrational fatigue stress on the spot weld during shipping and handling of a tank having the anode assembly operatively installed thereon.
