Patent AU-5981086-A (AU)
Title: Oscillometric blood pressure monitor
Inventor: RAMSEY MAYNARD
IPC: A61B5/02
Filed: 1986-07-04
Abstract: The deflation of the inflatable and deflatable cuff worn by a subject during automatic sphygmomanometric measurement is accomplished in unequal size decrements and principally in larger steps than 7 Torr. Each step after detection of the initial oscillations is determined in the first instance by reference to a look-up table or en equation as a function of prevailing cuff pressure. This Base Step dimension is augmented by a factor proportional to the last oscillation amplitude, the factor being increased after detection of the maximum oscillation amplitude. A valve mechanism with at least two different effective orifice sizes is used for deflation, the smaller size effective orifice being used first, to maintain control over the decrement step rate while holding the time for decrement within a predetermined limit of 8 mSec. per Torr, i. e., maintaining the rate above 125 Torr per second. The valve mechanism can consist of two valves with unequal orifice size, or it can consist of two equal orifice size valves to be used singly for providing the effective smaller orifice, or in parallel to provide the effective larger orifice. Alternatively a single variable orifice valve can be used.

Title: Detrimental-substance-containing theft-deterrent device
Inventor: HOGAN DENNIS L
IPC: E05B73/00
Filed: 1990-08-30
Abstract: A device for deterring theft of a protected article, including a pin (14) and clutch (16) for attaching the device to the article, with the pin and clutch being embodied in two components (10, 12) that are adapted to be locked together on opposite sides of a portion of the protected article to prevent unauthorized removal of the device from the article. The pin has a head (40) that is anchored within one component (10); and the clutch in the other component (12) grasps the pin to provide a predetermined retaining force for resisting separation of the components by prying or pulling the components apart. The one component (10) includes three fragile elongated vials (20) that fracture when at least a predetermined pressure is applied thereto, with each vial containing a detrimental substance (22) that would damage the article if the vial were to be fractured while the device was attached to the article; and the one component (10) defines a head space (25) for enabling limited axial movement of the pinhead (40), and three guide channels (27) respectively containing three balls (29) between the pinhead and the vials. Flexible cradles (34) shield the vials from contact with the balls during a relaxed state, but yield to enable the balls to contact the vials when the balls are moved in response to the pinhead being moved in response to application to the two components of at least said predetermined threshold separation force.

IPC: F25B21/02
Filed: 1996-07-30
Abstract: Thermoelectric modules are assembled to heat conductive plates which may be finned for the treatment of gas flow or bored to enable liquid flow. The assemblies may be used to heat and cool media or spaces by means of various control systems.

Date Feb. 16, 1995Very large amounts of data may be handled by the user interface of computers. The main processor is thus permanently overloaded, so that the computing power available for the actual application is sharply reduced in a manner that cannot be predicted without limiting the user requests. A new computer architecture is disclosed which allows a higher and more exactly predictable computing power to be achieved. In order to make the rest of the system independent from the user interface, the computer is subdivided in such a way that a first module (part 1) takes over the display and operation tasks of the user interface, a second module (part 2) takes over the processing of the application programs without their user interface, and a third module (part 3) takes over the remaining functional units. All modules have their own internal data paths. An interface between the first and second modules support the exchange of messages and data without affecting the independent processes in the first and second modules. The first and second modules have their own access paths to common devices located in the third module.
