Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit for carrying out discrete lowest current measuring. The invention provides that, during a measuring cycle, measuring current of a measuring current source is measured in a switchable integrator capacitor after a defined measuring cycle duration by using an output voltage, which represents the measuring current, of an integrator operation amplifier. A reset integration is carried out in a subsequent reset cycle by the switching of a reset current, which flows through the integrator capacitor, effected a reset semiconductor switch. The aim of the invention is to realize methods and circuits for discretely measuring currents 0.1* 10<-15> A whereby, in doing this, it is indispensable to compensate for interferences such as interfering charge influences of semiconductor switches, offset voltage and offset voltage drift. To this end, circuits of the utilized reset semiconductor switch and compensation circuit are designed in such a manner that they make it possible to measure the lowest currents in the targeted measuring range 0.1* 10<-15> A for carrying out the discrete lowest current measurement with the aid of the applied methods for compensating offset voltage and offset voltage drift as well as for compensating for the interfering charge effects in the switching over processes of the reset semiconductor switch.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for receiving, transporting onwards and unwinding coils of rolled strip (WB) which are successively transported to the device from a strip rolling mill or a rolled strip storage unit. The device consists of a carousel-type support (KT) which can be driven in rotation about a vertical axis (VA) and on which a pair of radially projecting, rotationally mounted support mandrels (TD) with axial locking elements are located, these support mandrels being angularly offset from each other about 190°. The carousel support (KT) pivots the support mandrels out of a receiving position (A) for the coils of rolled strip (WB), into an unwinding position (C), about a pivot angle of 180°. The carousel support also has at least two other support mandrels (TD II and TD IV) which are offset from the two aforementioned support mandrels (TD I and TD III) by 90°, respectively. Other processing positions (B and D) for removing the coil binding strip and marking or applying the coil binding strip are provided between the receiving position (A) and the unwinding position (C) and between the unwinding position (C) and the receiving position (A) of the support mandrels (TD I, TD II, TD III, TD IV), angularly offset about 90°, respectively.

Abstract: For cardiac rhythm management a combination of cardiac pacing and a noninvasive heart monitoring is proposed for the determination of a set of programmable pacing parameters hemodynamically most beneficial to the patient. The apparatus incorporates a cardiac pacemaker (130) and a thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) heart monitor (120). This combination allows the creation of a closed-loop system that conveniently and effectively obtains pacing parameter settings providing hemodynamically optimal pacing therapy to the patient as determined by measuring and recording of stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and other indices of ventricular performance by the heart monitor during an automatic optimization scan with different sets of pacing parameters out of a range of pacing parameters such as atrioventricular delays, inter-atrial delay, inter-ventricular delay, or heart rate, that are sequentially applied to the pacemaker. The hemodynamically optimal set of pacing parameters is determined from all recordings and the pacemaker is programmed with this optimal set for permanent or temporary pacing therapy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A container (1) for a roller-applied viscous coating composition (5) which facilitates non-messy loading of the composition onto a roller and non-messy removal of excess composition from the roller. The container has an opening large enough to allow insertion of the roller and also a grid (6) located below the opening but extending only part way across the container so as to leave access (7) to a lower portion (1a) of the container below the grid where when in use, coating composition is stored. Insertion of the roller into the composition and its subsequent withdrawal load excess composition onto the roller. The excess composition can be removed from the roller by rolling it across the grid from where the excess drips back into the main volume of the composition. Loading the roller, removal of the excess and its return to the lower portion all occur within the container so avoiding mess. Also the lidded container when containing coating composition and its use in a procedure for coating rough surfaces using high viscosity coating compositions. <IMAGE>
