Title: Circuit for processing physiological measurement signals
IPC: A61B5/308
Filed: 1975-06-05
Abstract: 1515352 Processing physiological signals SIEMENS AG 5 June 1975 [21 June 1974] 24334/75 Heading G1N(E) In a device for processing physiological signals similar to that disclosed in Specification 1515351 but containing modifications to check the correct operation, a manually controllable calibration pulse generator 11, 12, 13, 14 is connected to supply a signal to the input amplifiers 2, 4 ... 6 and to supplementary calibration inputs 44 49 of the differential amplifiers 34-39. The correct operation and/or calibration of the system can then be checked by inspecting the output waveforms from the E.C.G. signal reproduction devices 60-65. When the calibration key 54 is depressed the reference potential changes at the output of a voltage follower 11. If the input amplifiers 2-6 are operating correctly then (by the nature of the circuit - see co-pending application) there is no variation of the output signals on the outputs 28- 33. This also results in a pulse of known height at the output 50 of an amplifier 51. The pulse is superimposed on the signals obtained from the differential amplifier outputs. The calibration pulses at the outputs 28-33 must, if the electrocardiograph is in order, be of equal magnitude and all outputs have the same polarity. If this is not the case then it is possible to draw conclusions with regards to the channel that is faulty.

In a preferred embodiment, Fig. 1, the plate has longitudinal and transverse grooves arranged in overlapping pairs 120, 120a, the lower and upper portions 122, 123 of the sides of the grooves being of different pitch and separated by a discontinuity line 124, and two sets of diagonal grooves 110 having side portions 112, 113 separated by a discontinuity line 114 at the same level as the line 124. The grooves give rise to a series of principal and secondary squares 100, 200 arranged in checkerboard configuration, each principal square containing a regular octagon 101 surmounted by a pyramid with vertex 102 and four corner triangles surmounted by pyramids 104 and each secondary square containing a central pyramid 201 on a square base, four corner pentagons 211 surmounted by pyramids with vertices 212, and four triangles 221 surmounted by pyramids with vertices 222. Discontinuity lines formed by the lines 114, 124 on the sides of the grooves are shown at 103, 203, 213 on the higher pyramids. In modifications the sides of the grooves are concave or curved, and the pyramids are irregular or eccentric. A tool for use in making the cover-plate bears a negative impression of the surface configurations to be formed on the plate, the tool itself being made using a die having a surface configuration identical with that of the plate. Such a die can readily be made simply by cutting the grooves using known mechanical processes. The die itself may be used to form cover-plates having a negative impression compared to that described above, and the invention embraces such negative plates.

Abstract: 1435736 Flying shears FRIEDRICH KOCKS 23 May 1973 [24 May 1972] 24777/73 Heading B3W [Also in Division B5] A machine for shearing moving elongate stock includes a pair of apparatuses each comprising a cutting tool 2 at the free end of a carrier arm 8 which in use describes a locus 1 such as to cause the tool 2 to be guided to and through the stock to co-operate with the other tool at a speed which at least over the length of a stock cutting path is synchronized with the speed of the stock. The carrier arm is a lever 8 pivoted to a lever 6 at a common pivotal axis 7 the other end of the lever 6 being mounted for rotation about a fixed axis 3. Additional guide means are coupled to the lever 8 so that, when in 'use, the lever 6 and the axis 7 are rotated in a circular path about the axis 3 part of the lever 8 in the region of the axis 7 is rotated in the circular path but in addition is caused by the additional guide means to pivot about the axis 7 so that the tool 2 follows a non-circular orbit. The additional guide means may include a guide wheel 5 pivotable about the axis 7 and to which the lever 8 is fixed. The wheel 5 runs in engagement with the inner or outer periphery of a normally fixed gear-wheel or ring 4 so as to cause the tool 2 to describe the locus 1. Depending on the transmission ratio between the wheels 4 and 5 and the relative lengths of the levers 6 and 8, the locus may be elliptical or linear. Rotation of the wheel or ring 4 about the axis 3 may be effected to vary the orientation of the locus 1 relative to the line of movement of the stock to be cut. Suitable gearing is linked to a rotatable shaft carrying the tool 2 to ensure that it is kept at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the stock being cut, However such gearing may be rotated to pivot the tool to enable idle strokes to be made.

Abstract: 1309100 Moulding rubber rolls RAYBESTOS-MANHATTAN Inc 19 April 1971 [26 Aug 1970] 24991/71 Heading B5A [Also in Division B6] Articles such as rubber rolls are moulded using a mould with end sections having openings therethrough, the material being fed through an opening in one end section until it fills the mould cavity and exudes through an opening in the other end section, the mould then being sealed by closed end caps to prevent bleeding and the material being cured, e.g. by heating. A fuser roll for a xerographic copier is made by inserting a steel core 12 into a mould body 40 having end sections which locate the ends of the core and through which holes 68, 70 pass. One end section is secured by an apertured cap 60 whilst the other is secured by an inlet extension 77 which connects to a screw-injector which feeds rubber into the mould under pressure. The end sections may also contain recesses 84 to receive the ends of a sleeve 16 which may be of a fluorocarbon polymer. The injected material 14 presses the sleeve 16 against the inner wall of the mould body as it fills the annular cavity between the core and the mould and then the excess exudes through the openings 68 and 80. The cap 60 is then removed and replaced by a closed cap (88, Fig. 4, not shown) to block that end. If desired, pressure within the mould may be increased by further operation of the injector feed. The feed end is then uncoupled at 39 and a closed end cap screwed on here. The assembly may then be placed in an autoclave to cure the article and it is stated that pressures of 20,000 to 30,000 lbs. per sq. inch may be achieved by this method, dimensions and details being given. The rubber may be, e.g., neoprene, silicone rubber or rubber compounds. The screw-feed apparatus may be heated or cooled by fluid supplied through pipes 34, 36 (Fig. 2, not shown).
