Abstract: The controller of the plural component proportioner (10) dispenses both components (or all three if a three component material) simultaneously (at least initially) and maintains ratio at the end of each predetermined volume of material by determining which component pump (12) has reached the desired amount of travel (given the resolution available) and using a valve (16) to shut off output of that pump until the other side has caught up. At pump changeover, the output valve for that pump (12) is shut off and the air motor (12a) allowed to run until travel stops to account for cavitation, air entertainment, compressibility, or poor inlet check performance.

Inventor: GORD JOHN C
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: An implantable sensor/stimulator is connectable to a
controller using just two conductors, which two
conductors carry both operating power and data (data
commands and/or measured data) between the
sensor/stimulator and control circuit. Each
sensor/stimulator may be serially connected to another
sensor/stimulator, again using only two conductors,
thereby allowing a "daisy chain" of such
sensors/stimulators to be formed. Each sensor/stimulator
in the daisy chain is individually addressable by the
control circuit. Input data is sent to the sensors over
the two conductors using a phase-modulated biphasic
modulation scheme, which scheme also provides operating
power for each sensor/stimulator connected to the two
conductors. Output data is sent from the sensors to the
controller over the same two conductors using a pulse-position
presence/absence modulation scheme. The data
transmission schemes provide a very high signal-to-noise
ratio. Each sensor/stimulator includes a power rectifier
circuit, a line interface circuit, a state machine
controller, at least one sensor that generates an analog
output current as a function of a sensed parameter, a low
power current-to-frequency converter circuit, and a
counter circuit.
