Abstract: A pulse oximeter wherein light of two different wavelengths is passed through body tissue, such as a finger, an ear or the scalp, so as to be modulated by the pulsatile component of arterial blood therein and thereby indicate oxygen saturation. A tonal signal is emitted having a pitch proportional to the ratio of oxygen saturation and a sequential repetition proportional to pulse. A visual cue consisting of an array of strobed light emitting diodes is flashed having a total light output proportional to the magnitude of the pulse and a sequential flashing rate proportional to pulse rate. A systematic rejection of extraneous or irregular detected data prevents undue sounding of alarms.

Abstract: A semiconductor contact structure suitable for use in a CMOS device to prevent or suppress the latch-up phenomenon in the device. It uses two degeneratively doped regions (44, 46) of different conductivity type forming a tunnel diode interface therebetween and a conductive segment contiguous to one ofthe two regions. Using such a structure as the source of an FETin a CMOS arrangement causes the emitter area and the base spreading resistance of the corresponding parasitic bipolar transistor to be reduced. This in turn causes the current gain of the parasitic transistor to decrease and the latch-up phenomenon to be prevented or suppressed.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for on-line measurement of unflatness of hot or cold rolled strip products, wherein the longidudinal bending of a shape roll over which the strip passes provides a measure of the unflatness of the strip. Actual values of force, displacement or bending moment near the ends of the shape roll may be compared to theoretically predicted values for a flat product and for product having various out-of-flatness conditions. Preferably, the shape roll is supported at its ends by two pairs of supports, and the measurements at the supports are used in determining roll bending and thence strip unflatness. Other conditions such as off-center strip and asymmetric operation of the rolling mill may also be determined from the measurement.

Abstract: @ An apparatus disclosed for use in bending heated sheets of glass transported generally horizontally on a conveyor within a furnace heating chamber includes a holder and a counter-balanced bending member, both of which are located above the conveyor in a spaced relationship such that a heated sheet of glass can be transported under the holder. The holder includes a curved, downwardly facing surface with spaced openings in which vacuum is drawn to receive the glass sheet from the conveyor. Gas, such as air, is blown upwardly from below the conveyor against the heated sheet of glass such that the sheet is moved upwardly and into engagement with the curved surface of the holder. The bending member then moves downwardly below the holder surface and thereafter upwardly against the heated sheet of glass to provide bending thereof to the curved shape of the holder surface. The bending member then moves back to its home position above the holder surface. A carrier mold ring moves under the supported glass and the vacuum is then terminated so the glass drops onto the ring and bends under the bias of gravity in a manner that allows the glass to be further bent. Subsequently, the mold ring is moved from the furnace to a quench unit that tempers the glass.

Abstract: Oxygen is introduced through oxygen supply line (5) into an annular gallery (6) which it leaves at high velocity through annular channel (7). The outlet of the annular channel (7) is shaped so that, by virtue of the Coanda effect, the oxygen travels towards the downstream end of the burner (1) substantially parallel to the wall of the tubular body (2). Combustion gas from combustion chamber (13) is induced between support bars (4) into the tubular body (2) by the flow of oxygen and mixes with the oxygen and subsequently with natural gas introduced through fuel supply line (8). The mixture burns at the outlet (9) of the fuel supply line (8). The maximum temperature reached by the gas leaving the burner (1) is substantially lower than that which would be obtained by a conventional oxy-fuel flame. The burner may be used in radiant tubes.

Abstract: A system that monitors and maintains the concentration of material in a fluid carrier which includes means (22) for circulating the fluid carrier within a substantially closed loop system (12) and means (34) for measuring the concentration of material carried in the fluid. The measuring means includes means (40, 55, 59) to detect rapid changes in transmissivity of the fluid carrier, which are indicative of the presence of entrained air bubbles in the fluid carrier, so that measurements of material concentrate under such conditions may be ignored or rejected. Further to ensure that an accurate measurement of concentrated material depletion is being observed, more than one consecutive transmissivity measurement is made and validated before concentrate is finally added to the fluid carrier in the system. In the preferred embodiment, the determination of whether air bubbles may be entrained in the fluid carrier is accomplished by determining a disparity between two consecutively measured samples to have been greater than a predetermined value. If such a disparity exists, the measurement sampling rate is increased until the disparity between consecutively measured samples is again less than the predetermined value, at which time sampling is again performed at slower sampling rate. If a disparity exists between several consecutive samples and the disparity in each case remains below the predetermined value, the samples so observed are determined as valid and representative of continuous depletion of the concentrate material in the fluid carrier. When several of these consecutive and validated sample values of transmissivity exceeds a predetermined threshold and there has been no interruption in such sampling due to a disparity between samples greater than the predetermined value, an enablement will be provided to permit concentrate material to be added to the fluid carrier. The system of this invention has particular application to monitoring the level of toner concentrate in the fluid carrier of a fluid toner development system in an electrographic printer/plotter.
