Abstract: An inexpensive grounding wrist strap and tether for draining excess electrostatic charge, which may be used once and then disposed. The strap and tether are formed integrally and include a conductive strip having a discrete resistance portion for safety considerations. The discrete resistance portion is formed by making a zig-zag pattern of cuts in the conductive strip, thereby increasing the length of the current path through the discrete resistance portion. Due to the slight resistivity of the conductive strip, the lengthened current path results in a discrete resistance being built into the strip. The cuts may be made in the strip at the same time the strip is fashioned out of a sheet of the conductive material, such as carbon loaded polyethylene.

Abstract: In a predicting-type electronic clinical thermometer, data acquired from a temperature sensor (51) at a very small time interval (Δt) is read in on a real-time basis, the data is converted into detected temperature (T) by means of a processor (9), the temperature is stored in a memory (7) and a temperature prediction is performed to obtain a predicted temperature (Tp). The rate of change (ΔT/Δt) in the detected temperature is obtained based upon the detected temperature (T). The moment at which this rate of change attains a predetermined value is taken as an opportunity to check the temporal fluctuation of the predicted temperature within a fixed reference time range. If the predicted temperature is found to have stabilized, the temperature detection is terminated. If it has not stabilized, the temperature detection is continued. Thus, the process through which an allowable condition for a valid prediction was realized is investigated looking back a predetermined length of time from the moment at which the condition was realized, and the result of the investigation is applied when evaluating the validity of the prediction. As a result, a highly accurate temperature prediction can be performed even if the circumstances in which the thermometer is being used changes during temperature detection.

Abstract: Serial binary input data is converted to serial binary code data that satisfies a (2,18,2) constraint and is reconverted to the serial binary input data. An encoder 11 receives two sequential input bits and a five-bit state vector derived from an immediately preceding encoding operation, and generates a five-bit codeword and a new five-bit state vector based on said two input bits and five-bit state vector. A decoder 16 converts each five-bit codeword sequentially into a reassigned three-bit codeword representation, then collects sets of four adjacent three-bit codeword representations. Each reassigned codeword representation is converted to a two-bit output corresponding to a then current set of said four three-bit codeword representations, and successive two-bit outputs are reconverted into the serial binary data.

Abstract: An infrared telephone with a first station and a second station is described. The first station is, in particular, a portable telephone, while the second station is, in particular, a permanently installed distant station, for example a desk-top/wall-mounted station (base apparatus). In one embodiment, the first station and the second station each have a frequency oscillator whose frequency, which is modulated by the electric signals which are to be transmitted, controls the power of the associated IR emitter and is also fed to an associated mixing stage. The signal supplied by the associated IR receiver is mixed in the mixing stage with the modulated frequency of the associated frequency oscillator, and the composite frequency produced by the mixing, comprising the received frequency and the modulated oscillator frequency, is demodulated via a frequency demodulator, the receive function being derived from the resulting signal. In a further embodiment, each station operates with two frequency oscillators. Furthermore, the design of the portable telephone and the base apparatus is explained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for measuring the liquid mass flow rate exiting a two phase (gas/liquid) feed nozzle includes determining the Power Spectral Density from the output of a vibrational sensor (accelerometer or dynamic pressure sensor) in close proximity to the nozzle or in contact with the fluid within the nozzle in a frequency band that includes resonant peaks whose magnitude or area is strongly dependent on the mass flow rate of the liquid and which increases as the flow increases. Measurement of the area of the resonant peaks or of a band of frequencies that includes them can be correlated with the liquid flow and is insensitive to the gas flow.
