Title: Pressure meter catheter with in-situ zero setting
IPC: A61B5/03
Filed: 1989-10-04
Granted: 1993-01-07
Abstract: In a pressure meter catheter which carries a pressure sensor in its measuring tip a reference pressure is admitted to effect zero setting in accordance with the invention while the instrument is in situ during a measurement, the reference pressure permitting adjustment of an evaluating unit at a remote location.

Title: Conveying device
Inventor: STASCHEWSKI HARRY
IPC: B65G23/44
Filed: 1993-11-29
Granted: 1996-01-04
Abstract: In known removal apparatuses for elongate material, the roller chains on which the clamping jaws are fastened must be manually retensioned. If this retensioning does not take place soon enough, increased wear of the roller chains and of the chain wheels can occur. The novel removal apparatus has tensioning elements (41) which exert a tensile force in the direction away from the drive chain wheels (33) on the at least two tensioning chain wheels (35) which are displaceable with their bearing housings (37) in the longitudinal direction of the roller chains (19). A self-locking wedge (99) prevents the tensioning chain wheels (35) from oscillating back and forth. The automatic resetting of the roller chains (19) reduces the wear of the removal apparatus (17) and avoids speed changes during transportation of the elongate material (23). The removal apparatus according to the invention is suitable in particular for transporting cables and pipes. <IMAGE>

Title: Customer side power management system and method
Inventor: WILHELM WILLIAM G
IPC: H02J/
Filed: 1996-03-18
Granted: 1999-11-11
Abstract: A customer side power management system includes a power transducer coupled to the electric lines from the utility. The power transducer senses stochastic peak power demands from the electric utility, and provides an output signal proportional thereto. The output signal is time averaged and provided to a comparator circuit. A predetermined threshold signal is also provided to the comparator circuit, and the two signals are compared. An AC-to-DC converter or power supply is coupled to the utility's electric line and provides a DC voltage on its output. The amplitude of the DC voltage is controlled by the output signal from the comparator circuit. A power isolation and distribution circuit and a storage battery are also included. The power isolation and distribution circuit is connected between the AC-to-DC converter and the storage battery. The power management system senses peak power demands for electricity, and switches a particular load of the customer from being powered by the AC-to-DC converter to the storage battery. When there is no peak power demand, the AC-to-DC converter powers the particular load.
