Title: Cell for performing optical measurements
Inventor: KOCH BRUNO
IPC: G01N35/08
Filed: 1995-01-17
Granted: 1999-05-18
Abstract: A cell for performing optical measurements in an automatic analyzer is molded in one piece from a transparent plastic material, and has a tubular body including two plane walls parallel to each other, two opposite ends, and a bottom wall. The first end of the tubular body is open and the second end is closed by the bottom wall which has the shape of a half-cylinder. The tubular body of the cell has two side-walls which extend between the plane-parallel walls and which each have an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion of each side wall is adjacent the bottom wall and includes an elongated, leg-shaped outer projection which extends along the longitudinal axis of the cell between the upper portion of the side-wall and a point at a certain distance from the bottom wall. Each of the plane-parallel walls has a tongue member adjacent the open end of the tubular body. The tongue members extend outwardly from the border of the open end of the tubular body of the cell in a direction perpendicular to the plane-parallel wall and ends at an outer edge. Each tongue member has an upper surface and a recess, and said tongues and their recesses are positioned symmetrically to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cell. To obtain improve optical properties of the cuvette side walls and bottom wall (used as measuring windows for carrying out electro-optical measurements of the cuvette contents), the leg shaped outer projection on the side-wall containing the injection point of the cuvette is longer and broader than the leg shaped outer projection on the opposite side-wall.

Abstract: A flow regulator for automotive vehicles of the type having a computer-controlled emission control system. The flow regulator has an electric vacuum regulator (EVR) valve that regulates the vacuum signal provided to a vacuum regulator valve in accordance with the current signal supplied to the EVR valve by the engine controller unit. The vacuum regulator valve includes a control chamber and a valve chamber that are separated by a movable diaphragm valve assembly. The preload on a biasing spring acting on the diaphragm valve assembly can be adjusted during calibration of the flow regulator for setting a first calibration point. An adjustable flow restrictor provided in the inlet portion of the vacuum regulator valve can be varied during calibration for setting a second calibration point. In addition an anti-permeation filter is provided for inhibiting the venting of fuel vapors to atmosphere that have permeated through the diaphragm valve. In operation the flow regulator is operable to generate substantially linear output flow characteristic between the two calibration points as a function of the current signal in a manner that is independent of changes in manifold vacuum.
Patent CA-2160415-C (CA)

IPC: B61L15/00

Granted: 2000-02-15
Abstract: An improvement in an End-of-Train (EOT) monitor system allows the continuity of the brake pipe of a train to be verified. Obstructions in the brake-pipe, such as, for example, closed angle cocks, kinks, blockages or breaks, adversely affect brake safety. A pressure sensor is installed in the Locomotive Cab Unit (LCU) to sense brake application. If the brake pipe is intact, a brake application initiated from the locomotive should correspondingly result in a drop in pressure at the EOT unit. The time require for the drop to propagate through the train is a function of train length. If a pressure drop is not sensed at the EOT unit within a predetermined period of time, it is assumed to be due to either a corrupted brake pipe or a communications failure between the LCU and EOT unit. A Microprocessor in the LCU initiates a communications check by interrogating the EOT unit from the LCU. If no reply is received, an alarm sounds warning the engineer of a communications failure. If, on the other hand, the LCU receives a reply from the EOT to the interrogation, a brake pipe continuity alarm is sounded warning the engineer of a brake fault condition.

Abstract: A touch activated illuminated hand rail assembly includes a hand rail in the form of an elongated opaque rigid hollow member having a construction of an outer plastic dielectric layer and an inner metallized layer so  that  the  member  functions  as  a  capacitor  which discharges electrical charge when touched by a person, a light  bulb,  such  as  an  elongated  fluorescent  tube, disposed within the hollow member, a pair of conductor wires which connect to an external alternating current power source to provide electricity to the light bulb, an elongated cutout formed in the hollow member through which light emitted by the light bulb may shine outward to illuminate the area where the hand rail is installed, a  timer  device  which  turns  on  the  light bulb when electrical charge is discharged from the hollow member and turns off the light bulb after passage of a fixed period of time,  and a plurality of mounting brackets which  attach  the  hollow member  to  a wall  or  other surface where a person may grasp it for support.  As an alternative  to  an  external  source  of  alternating current,  batteries  disposed  within  a  battery compartment formed in one of a pair of end caps which are removably attached to the end of the hollow member serve as a direct current power source for the light bulb.   A low battery power indicator light indicates when it is time to replace the batteries.

Abstract: The mailing envelope has row of oblique cuts in registration with the adhesive area of the back where the corresponding closure flap with adhere, so that in one of the extremities of the row of oblique cuts there is provided a special larger cut with a different inclination, said cut forming a means for initiating the opening of the envelope, by tearing out the aligned oblique cuts, when pulling from the respective extremity of the flap. Likewise, a second special cut provided at the opposite extremity of the row of oblique cuts will form the means to evidence a fraudulent attempt to open the envelope, the reason being that, when pulling from that second flap extremity in order to try to separate it from the back of the envelope, a tearing is produced in the transverse direction to the envelope. Both the oblique cuts and the extreme cuts for initiating the opening and tamper evidencing, are applicable to envelopes with straight, trapezoidal or triangular flaps.

Abstract: An automatic gain control (AGC) apparatus for a digital receiver is disclosed herein.  The AGC apparatus includes an adjustable gain amplifier (18) having an input port for receiving an input signal, a control port for receiving a gain control signal, and an output port for providing an output signal.  The AGC apparatus further includes a measurement circuit for generating a received power signal based on the power of the output signal.  A saturating integrator (22) compares the received power signal to a reference signal and generates a gain control signal in response to a result of the comparison.  The saturating integrator (22) includes a decision circuit (46) for enabling integration based on values of the received power signal, the reference signal, and the gain control signal.  In a preferred implementation, the utilization of an input limiter in conjunction with an analog to digital converter enables accommodation of an increased input signal dynamic range.
