Abstract: A method and an array for measuring a primary current in a primary conductor that is magnetically coupled to a secondary conductor via a ferromagnetic core. In said method, a voltage having a specific amplitude is applied to the secondary conductor such that a secondary current flows for reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core is reversed in order to obtain a first measured value; the polarity of the voltage is reversed such that a secondary current flows for once again reversing the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core; the secondary current is measured while the magnetization of the core is reversed in order to obtain a second measured value; the primary current is calculated in accordance with the first and the second measured value, the polarity of the voltage being regularly reversed at a certain sensor frequency that is continuously varied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a membrane pump and an apparatus comprising such a membrane pump. The membrane pump comprises a pumping chamber and a flexible member separating the pumping chamber into a first accumulation container and a second accumulation container. The flexible member is configured to be movable within the pumping chamber so as to vary a volume relationship between the first and second accumulation container. The second accumulation container is configured to receive an amount of working fluid to act on the flexible member and thus, in use, pump a first fluid from the first accumulation container. The first and the second accumulation container, each has an inlet opening for inlet of the respective fluid and an outlet opening for outlet of the respective fluid, the inlet opening being arranged on one side of the accumulation container and the outlet opening being arranged on the opposite side of the accumulation container. The flexible member is configured to show, when arranged in the pumping chamber and seen in a cross section along a plane extending through a pair of the inlet and outlet openings of the accumulation container, a thickness that is increased in a downstream direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removing a fluid from at least one container (300), from a vial for example, said container being closed by a closure (320) that can be punctured. The device comprises a base body (271) with a container receiving portion (272) and a hollow needle-like puncturing organ (277) in order to puncture the closure (320) of the container (300) in a removal position of the container (300). The aim of the invention is to enable mounting the container on the device without unintentionally puncturing the closure. This is achieved in that detent structures (274, 275) are provided which retain the container (300) on the device in a removal position and in a mounting position which is different from said removal position. Such a device can be used in particular to fill an applicator (280) with one or more fluid reservoirs from one or more vitals.

Abstract: A packaged catheter assembly and method of manufacturing and distributing same includes a gas impermeable package housing a catheter within a catheter-receiving-cavity. The catheter assembly has a hydrophilic coating applied to at least a portion of the outer surface of a catheter tube or shaft which may be surrounded by a sleeve to provide a no-touch, sure grip feature. The catheter assembly is disposed within the catheter receiving cavity of the package together with a limited amount of a vapor donating liquid provided as a source of vapor to activate the hydrophilic coating. The amount of vapor donating liquid is less than the amount that would otherwise be sufficient to cause a spill hazard. It may be loose liquid as a desired percentage of the volume of a tube-receiving portion of the catheter receiving cavity of the package, or it may be contained in a liquid sequestering element. The activation of at least some of the hydrophilic coating occurs solely by reason of exposure of the outer surface of the catheter to a vapor produced by the vapor donating liquid. The distribution of the catheter following manufacture is delayed for a time sufficient to permit the vapor to complete hydration of the entire hydrophilic coating on the surface.

Abstract: A device for receiving analog and discrete input signals and for converting the spectrum thereof without loss of information. The resultant signal has a frequency response curve which exhibits zero points at the frequency zero and at half the sample frequency. The second zero point is then suitable for addition of a pilot tone, without the required bandwidth being increased and without interference with the data signal. The device comprises two integrating feedback loops (32, 24/40), the output signals of which are alternately activated. The sign of the active output signal determines the sign of the input signal of the feedback loops and of the output signal of the device. One feedback loop directly receives said output signal, while the other feedback loop receives this output signal via a multiplier which alternately receives a positive and a negative multiplicand.

Abstract: A flame detector arranged to detect flames includes a non-microphonic infra-red sensor having a broad band frequency response. To maximize the sensitivity to radiation from flames in the 4.3  mu m solar absorption band a narrow band optical interference filer, transmissive in the band 4.54  mu m to 4.38  mu m is chosen such that the integrated solar energy transmitted thereby is less than an alarm threshold. A further filter prevents re-radiated heat from the filter reaching the sensor. Another filter prevents radiation of wavelengths less than 4.38  mu m from reaching the other filters to reduce heating thereof and also to provide a series of filters to stop direct broad band transmission to the sensor through pin holes in the filters. A signal processor detects flames by virtue of the flame flicker frequencies and includes provision for compensating for the effects of low frequency components on the amplitude of radiation produced by flames.

Abstract: In many heat exchangers is used a system of a large number of glass tubes, which are endwise connected with opposed holder plates, and it is hereby a problem to achieve an easy mounting of the tubes and at the same time a sealed, but non-stiff connection between the tube ends and the holder plates. According to the invention an advantageous connection is achieved by producing the holder plates as moulded elements (14), e.g. made of an artificial resin, with the use of a mould having a plurality of upstanding core stubs (6) each provided with a seat groove (8) for an O-ring (10). Prior to the moulding operation an O-ring (10) is mounted on each of the stubs (6), and by the moulding operation corresponding seat grooves (18) will be formed in the moulded member. When the moulded member (14) is rejected from the mould the O-rings (10) will remain in the moulded seat grooves and thus be drawn off the stubs (6), whereafter the moulded member (14) is immediately usable for receiving tube ends (20) through the moulded holes (16) and their associated O-rings (10).
