Inventor: MATKOVICH VLADO I
IPC: A61M39/14
Filed: 1993-10-01
Abstract: A connector assembly includes first and second fittings (100, 200) and first and second membrane assemblies (170, 270). Each fitting (100, 200) defines a respective aperture (141, 231). Each membrane assembly has a layer (172a, 272a) sealing the aperture and a removable contamination containment layer (182a, 282a) overlying a respective sealing layer. The first and second fittings (100, 200) may be resiliently coupled in biased opposition to urge positive contact between the first and second removable contamination containment layers (182a, 282a) and/or the first and second sealing layers (172a, 272a). In one application, a connector assembly according to the invention may define a fluid communication path for handling a fluid without allowing the level of contaminants in the fluid to increase. A connector assembly according to the invention may be used to handle a biological fluid while maintaining the fluid free of viable contaminating microorganisms or preserving its sterility, for example.

Abstract: A circuit and method for reducing compensation of
a ferroelectric capacitor in a cell of a memory array
allows the capacitor's hysteresis loop to be
repositioned toward its uncompensated position by
pulsing the electrodes of the memory cell capacitors,
via the memory array plate line, one or more
additional times whenever a "write" occurs to the
memory array. As a result, the ferroelectric
capacitor delivers a signal of greater strength to the
memory device sense amps upon a subsequent "read"
operation significantly enhancing overall reliability
and yield yet without reducing overall device
endurance.

Abstract: A remote level sensor (10) for a residential fuel oil tank is adapted for a fuel oil
gauge (14) with a permanent magnet (24) which changes position with changing fluid
levels in the tank. The sensor has a housing (12) with a connector which receives a top
portion of the gauge such as to provide an alignment of the sensor with the gauge. The
sensor is connected to a telephone line (38), and makes use of a current from the "tip"
and "ring" lines of the telephone connection to supplement the power of an on-board
battery (34). The sensor has multiple reed switches (SW1,SW2,SW3) each in a
different relative position. The reed switches thus each close when the magnet is in a
different position, and thereby close when the fluid in the tank is at a different level.
The controller (26) has a sampling routine which responds to the detection of a closure
of one of the switches by seizing the telephone line, dialling a central monitoring
location and transmitting information to the central location indicating which of the
switches was closed. A memory unit is provided in which multiple telephone numbers
are stored so that the controller can call a second number when no response is received
using a first number.

Abstract: A video demultiplexing interface (70) is used in a
missile tracking system (10) employing a missile (12) with
a thermal beacon (24). A target designator (40) defines
a boresight from a missile firing location, such as an
aircraft, to a target. The closed-loop tracking system
(10) employs a forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensor (52)
to track the displacement of the thermal beacon (24) from
the boresight and generates a correction signal related to
such displacement. The video demultiplexing interface
(70) transforms serial multiplexed video signals, which
are output by the FLIR sensor (52) and contain a field
with M rows and L columns of pixels, into a demultiplexed
parallel video signal containing N selectable adjacent
horizontal rows of pixels (where N is less than M). A
video thermal tracker (58) selects the N adjacent
horizontal rows of pixels and generates azimuth and
elevation error signals which are transmitted to the
missile (12). The trajectory of the missile (12) is
continuously corrected to align the thermal beacon (24)
with the boresight.

Abstract: An input signal is supplied to a tapped-delay line adaptive filter to
produce tap signals which are equally divided into groups. The tap signals
are selectively coupled on a per group basis through a switch to coefficient
generators where tap-weight coefficients are produced. The selected tap
signals are weighted respectively by the coefficients and summed together
to produce a correction signal, which is combined with an output signal
which is a replica of the input signal. The coefficients are updated with a
residual error of the correction signal. Using the coefficients, the hopping
order for selecting a tap group and the dwell time of the tap group are
determined. Total power of the selected tap signals is monitored. When
the monitored power is lower than a threshold value, the determination of
the hopping order and dwell time is disabled and the residual error is
nullified for fast convergence.
