Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining leak and respiratory airflow are disclosed. A pressure sensor (34) and a differential pressure sensor (32) have connection with a pneumotach (24) to derive instantaneous mask pressure and airflow respectively. A microcontroller (38) estimates a non-linear conductance of any leak path occurring at a mask (12) as being the low pass filtered instantaneous airflow divided by the low pass filtered square root of the instantaneous pressure. The instantaneous leak flow is then the conductance multiplied by the square root of the instantaneous pressure, and the respiratory airflow is calculated as being the instantaneous airflow minus the instantaneous leak flow. The time constants for the low pass filtering performed by the microcontroller (38) can be dynamically adjusted dependent upon sudden changes in the instantaneous leak flow.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé et un nouvel appareil permettant de réduire les effets que peuvent produire des émissions de champs magnétiques provenant d'un radiotéléphone sur des dispositifs sensibles à des champs magnétiques variant avec le temps. La variance du champ magnétique est atténuée par l'ajout d'un condensateur de filtrage présentant une constante de temps considérablement plus longue que la trame de temps AMRT, le condensateur étant connecté en parallèle avec l'émetteur. De plus, un champ magnétique compensateur est produit par un circuit annulateur de champ connecté en série avec l'émetteur, ce qui provoque un passage de courant suivant un trajet approximativement opposé au trajet du courant dans la pile, dans un plan approximativement parallèle à celle-ci. Le courant passant à travers le circuit annulateur de champ produit un champ magnétique approximativement coaxial, et de polarité opposée par rapport au champ magnétique produit par le passage du courant dans la pile, qui annule partiellement ce dernier. Le recours au procédé et à l'appareil permet de réduire l'intensité effective du champ magnétique variant avec le temps, qui s'exerce à l'extérieur du téléphone.

Abstract: A process for forming polymer films through electrochemical techniques utilizing electrolytes which include conductive polymer. The resulting polymer films are electrically conductive and corrosion and wear resistant. Poyamino-benzene (polyaniline), for example, undergoes an insulator-to-metal transition upon doping with protonic acids in an acid/base-type reaction. Composite polymer-aluminum oxide films may be formed by modifying the anodizing electrolyte, resulting in the codeposition of polyaniline during aluminum anodization. A nonprotonated, ring-sulfonated aluminum salt of polyaniline was determined to be the reaction product within the aluminum oxide phase of the codeposited films. A second process, which incorporates electrochemical sealing of the anodic layer with polyaniline, was also developed. The formation of these composite films is documented through experimental processing, and characterized through scientific analysis and engineering tests. Scientific characterization determined the codeposition process yields chemically and metallurgically bound composite films. Engineering testing determined the films, obtained through a single step, exhibit superior wear and comparable corrosion resistance to conventionally anodized and sealed films processed through two steps, demonstrating the increased manufacturing efficiency that can be realized using the processes of the present invention.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil destiné à augmenter la ventilation d'un patient (100) et à contrôler le mode de respiration du patient au moyen d'un cathéter transtrachéal (10). Un flux sensiblement constant d'oxygène/air est introduit par une des lumières (12) du cathéter transtrachéal (10) dans la trachée (101) du patient, pour augmenter la respiration spontanée du patient. Un détecteur de respiration (80, 82, 85 ou 87) mesure une propriété physique prédéterminée (par exemple la pression ou le débit) associée à la respiration du patient à l'extrémité distale (17) du cathéter transtrachéal (10). Ces données sont enregistrées pour contrôler le mode de respiration du patient de manière prolongée pour une analyse ultérieure. Les données de respiration peuvent être enregistrées sur un diagramme à déroulement continu ou mémorisées sous forme numérique pour être transmises par un modem ou un support de mémorisation de données amovible à une installation à distance pour être analysées. Un capnomètre (87) peut être connecté à une des lumières (16) du cathéter transtrachéal pour mesurer la concentration de dioxyde de carbone dans l'air rejeté par le patient (100). L'extrémité distale du cathéter transtrachéal (10) peut également être équipé d'une sonde d'oxymétrie (85) qui entre en contact avec la muqueuse de la trachée (101) du patient pour mesurer la saturation du sang en oxygène. Les données d'oxymétrie sont enregistrées conjointement avec les données de respiration et sont utilisées pour diagnostiquer et contrôler des troubles du sommeil tels que l'apnée et l'hypopnée du sommeil.
