Abstract: Disclosed is a refrigerating apparatus using a temperature sensitive expansion valve ( 46 ) as an expansion mechanism. In the refrigerating apparatus, a switching valve ( 7 a) is disposed on the upstream side of an evaporator ( 45 ). The switching valve ( 7 a) is closed for a while, thereby forcibly placing an outlet side of the evaporator ( 45 ) in the superheat state to increase the valve travel of the expansion valve ( 46 ). Thereafter, the switching valve ( 7 a) is opened for liquid refrigerant to flow through the evaporator ( 45 ) so that a wettish operation is carried out. As a result of such arrangement, refrigerating machine oil that has accumulated in the evaporator ( 45 ) is reclaimed and returned to a compression mechanism ( 2 D).

Abstract: A content use monitoring system is provided for monitoring use of blister packaged contents. The monitoring device comprises an integrated circuit ( 14 ), battery ( 16 ) and piezo-electric foil ( 18 ) or other transducer that can be attached to a existing blister package, in physical contact with their backing, via adhesive. When a content is expelled from a blister through the backing, the piezo-electric foil ( 18 ) or other transducer is deformed, generating an electrical signal. The integrated circuit ( 14 ) monitors the piezo-electric foil circuit for such signals, analyses them, and if they meet the programmed specifications, the time and other characteristics of the event are recorded in the integrated circuit's memory. The content use data can later be downloaded for analysis, education or clinical purposes via either a remote or contact reader.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé non invasif d'étalonnage de dispositifs médicaux sur les lieux des soins, l'étalonnage se réalisant sans prélèvement de sang ou d'autres fluides anatomiques. A cet effet, l'invention vise à étalonner une première sonde non invasive dans laquelle le tissu en cours d'évaluation est modulé d'une façon ou d'une autre de manière à modifier la valeur du paramètre en cours d'évaluation par une première sonde optique. Une deuxième sonde détecte un autre paramètre qui évolue également avec la modulation. Cette deuxième sonde est calibrée en absolu. Lorsqu'il y a une relation connue entre le premier et le deuxième des paramètres, on a la possibilité de dériver un étalonnage pour la première sonde. Ce procédé convient particulièrement à l'étalonnage de sondes non-invasives permettant de surveiller une grande diversité de paramètres physiologiques, et notamment la glycémie, les gaz du sang, les électrolytes sanguins, et le pH du sang.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for contactlessly and dynamically detecting the profile of a solid body. At least one light beam is generated by a laser device and expanded to form a linear light band projected onto the moving surface of the solid body. Light reflected from the surface of the solid body is focused in an imaging device whose optical axis is at a fixed triangulation angle to the direction of projection of the laser device and which is arranged at a fixed based distance from the laser device. The reflected light is detected by a planar light receiving element at a frequency that is high by comparison with a speed of movement (v) of the solid body after which the measured values of the profile are obtained as a function of the triangulation angle and the base distance.
