Filed: 1996-02-07
Abstract: An electron beam stop (8) for use with high power electron beam accelerators (10) can be used to measure beam parameters including energy, current, scan width, scan offset and scan uniformity. The beam stop (8) is split in two segments (1, 2) in the direction of electron travel, with the first segment (1) closest to the beam source absorbing a portion of the electrons incident thereon and the second segment (2) farthest from the beam source absorbing all of the electrons that pass through the first segment (1). The ratio of charges deposited in the two segments (1, 2) is a sensitive index of the energy of the primary electrons, i.e., a measure of beam energy. The sum of the charges in the two segments is a direct measure of the number of electrons incident on the absorbing medium, i.e., a measure of the beam current.

IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 1996-09-04
Abstract: Système et méthode de localisation des défaillances dans un réseau de distribution d'énergie à topologie complexe, tel qu'un réseau urbain multiphase (6). On utilise des techniques de temporisation fiables ainsi qu'un transpondeur (22) à un point d'observation, pour dépister l'arrivée d'une impulsion de défaillance transitoire et pour émettre une impulsion de synchronisation à un intervalle déterminé après détection de l'arrivée de l'impulsion de défaillance transitoire et une impulsion d'étalonnage à un intervalle déterminé après l'émission de l'impulsion de synchronisation. On installe sur le circuit de distribution d'énergie, en des sites clés, des stations réceptrices (4, 4a, 4b) capables de détecter l'arrivée d'une impulsion de défaillance transitoire, d'une impulsion de synchronisation et d'une impulsion d'étalonnage et de mesurer les intervalles de temps entre chacune. L'emplacement de la défaillance est alors déterminée sur la base des intervalles de synchronisation, des délais de synchronisation connus et de la vitesse de propagation connue dans les câbles d'alimentation du réseau. La précision de la localisation des défaillances est encore améliorée en factorisant les effets de temps de montée des impulsions captées dans les mesures d'intervales de synchronisation.

Title: Mitigation of respiratory artifact in blood pressure signal using line segment smoothing
Inventor: SCHRIMPF KATHLEEN
IPC: A61B5/021
Filed: 1997-12-15
Abstract: A blood pressure monitoring apparatus which reduces the effects of respiration artifacts in the blood pressure samples prior to display by determining, for each heart beat detected in the blood pressure samples, the blood pressure at a median point of a line connecting a systolic, diastolic, or mean value for a current heart beat with a corresponding systolic, diastolic, or mean value for a heart beat N-1 heart beats prior to the current heart beat.  The median blood pressure value for the current heart beat is then averaged with the blood pressure values of the median points of numerous previous heart beats to the current heart beat, and the resulting average is output to the display as indicative of the systolic, diastolic, or mean pressure for the current heart beat.  This process is repeated for each heart beat, as desired, until the systolic, diastolic, and mean pressures are determined for each heart beat.  The method is advantageous in that it favors stable parts of the blood pressure waveform (end expiratory portions) yet actively smooths the variable parts of the blood pressure waveform.
Patent CA-2225728-A1 (CA)
Title: Water management system for solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell power plants
Inventor: MEYER ALFRED P
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 1996-06-25
Abstract: A simplified solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell power plant utilizes porous conductive separator plates having central passages which are filled with circulating coolant water. The coolant water passes through a heat exchanger which rejects heat generated in the power plant. Water appearing on the cathode side of each cell membrane is pumped into the water circulation passages through the porous oxidant reactant flow field plates by a positive .DELTA.P created between the cathode reactant flow field of each cell and the coolant water circulation passages between each cell. In order to create the desired .DELTA.P, at least one of the reactant gas streams will be referenced to the coolant water loop so as to create a coolant loop pressure which is less than the referenced reactant gas stream pressure. Excess water is removed from the coolant water stream. The system can operate at ambient or at elevated pressures. Each cell in the power plant is individually cooled on demand, and the power plant does not require a separate cooling section or reactant stream humidifying devices.
