Abstract: A surface mixing burner (16) is positioned in alignment with a mold of a glass container forming machine of the I.S. type to produce a supply of soot to lubricate an inner surface of the mold, the soot being produced by combustion of a rich, combustible supply of a fuel and an oxidant. The supply of fuel and oxidant is intermittently ignited by a sparking device (54) that is positioned within a sooting head (10), and an ignition coil (56) is positioned within the sooting head to deliver a high voltage pulse to the sparking device by the inductive discharge method. The ignition coil is positioned sufficiently close to the sparking device, and preferably in direct contact therewith, to avoid interference with the proper operation of an electronic control system for the I.S. machine. A remotely-positioned power supply (62) is provided to energize the ignition coil, the power supply providing power to the ignition coil at a relatively low voltage, for example, (12-24) volts d.c.

Title: Method and apparatus for venipuncture site location
Inventor: GOLDAN AMIR HOSSEIN
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 2006-07-11
Abstract: A vein locator comprises an energy source for directing incident energy toward organism tissue. At least a portion of the incident energy is reflected from structures within the organism tissue as reflected energy. The vein locator comprises an energy detector connected to detect energy reflected from the organism tissue. The incident energy is moved across a scan region a first time and the energy detector produces a corresponding first signal representative of at least one characteristic of the first reflected energy. A  controller receives the first signal, identifies an extremum in the first signal and determines a threshold level based on the identified extremum. The incident energy is then moved across the scan region a second time and the energy detector produces a corresponding second signal representative of at least one characteristic of the second reflected energy. The controller compares the second signal to the threshold level to determine whether a current location of the incident beam represents a location of a vein.
