Title: Method and Apparatus for Determining Driver Fitness in Real Time
Inventor: BOUCHARD PAUL J
IPC: G01S13/931
Filed: 1994-06-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for evaluating a driver's performance under actual real-time conditions and for using such evaluations to determine the driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle compares the information gathered by a radar system and other sensors with information previously stored in an event recording device. Conditions monitored are used to make a determination as to whether the driver is performing in conformity with normal driving standards and the driver's own past performance. The driver's performance is constantly monitored and compared to that driver's past performance to determine whether the driver's present performance is impaired, and if so, whether the impairment is detrimental to the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle.

Title: Process and device for cooling a space
Inventor: SOKOLEAN HELMUTH
IPC: F24F5/00
Filed: 1996-11-01
Abstract: In order to cool a room (1), a cooling element (3) fitted in the ceiling region is cooled to below freezing point, preferably to about -40°C, during cooling phases so that the condensate forming thereon freezes immediately. During regeneration phases when the room (1) is not in use, the cooling element (3) is defrosted and the condensate is caught in a condensate tray (7) beneath the cooling element (3) and drained via a discharge (8). The great temperature difference also makes it possible to obtain a strong cooling effect with a small cooling element (3), especially by indirect radiation exchange between the room (1) and the cooling element (3) via an intermediate ceiling (9). In addition the air in the room is dehumidified since water vapour is deposited on and bonded to the cooling element (3) in the form of ice.
