Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring oxygen in oxygen-enriched air includes a solid electrolyte amperometric sensor 10 housed in a body member 11 of test apparatus for verifying functioning of the sensor. A valve member 20 having a recessed end face 22 is slidable within the body member and sis urged by a spring 23 towards closing the recessed end face with a valve seat 19 to provide a chamber 22 in which the sensor is located. When the recessed end face is closed with the valve seat the chamber is communicated by a drilling 36 and a collector recess 35 in the valve member, with an oxygen-enriched air supply line connector 32 provided on the body member. The valve member is moved away from the valve seat by a solenoid actuated member 28 to communicate the sensor with ambient air by way of apertures 40 in the body member. The value of oxygen concentration or partial pressure at which the sensor is set to provide a warning is arranged to be above that of ambient air thereby providing an indication that the sensor is functioning.

Abstract: An automatic switch-on device for a suction apparatus is described, especially for a vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleaner motor being switched on and off as a function of a connected operating device. In order to make it possible for the operating device to be connected and disconnected very precisely as a function of the vacuum cleaner switching-on, it is provided that the associated operating device is connected and disconnected, initially without taking into account the suction power of the vacuum cleaner, in that a shunt is arranged in the current path to the operating device, the voltage drop across which shunt is amplified, as a result of which a closing contact of a relay connects the vacuum cleaner motor to the mains voltage. If the filter becomes excessively contaminated, a reduced pressure membrane sensor is provided which interrupts the current to the installation socket via an alternating contact of a relay.

Abstract: A programming unit (101) for entering control conditions to a programmable logic controller (100) includes control instruction keys, numerical keys and analog specifying keys (102). The input value for an input module related to an input specified as an analog signal is converted into a digital value depending on a ratio based on the value input through the numerical keys. A digital control signal is obtained by processing the digital value or an analog signal converted from the digital value and supplied to the controller (100) through an output unit. The programmable logic controller (100) may provide a modification unit for modifying a digital value to be converted and another conversion unit for converting the digital value into an analog value and displaying the result. In the controller (100), the resolution defined on the predetermined bit arrangement is applied to the digital value converted from the input value. The programming unit has a memory (107) for storing an input value from each key and may be connected to a plurality of programmable logic controllers (100) in sequence for supplying the same control condition.

Abstract: An actively stabilized laser (20) includes a temperature tunable etalon (32) in the laser cavity for single frequency operation. The operation of the laser is actively monitored to detect variations induced by changes in the length of the resonator. These changes tend to cause the frequency of the selected longitudinal mode to shift so that it is no longer aligned with the peak of the transmission curve of the etalon (32). When this misalignment occurs, operation deteriorates. By monitoring laser performance, the misalignment can be detected and the temperature of the etalon (32) can be changed to realign its transmission peak to the selected mode. Either the laser output power or the current supplied to the laser is monitored. This approach substantially reduces mode hopping.

Abstract: In a film cassette (1), a film spool (5) is rotatable independently of a pair of coaxially spaced disks (51, 53). The two disks (51, 53) have respective annular circumferential lips (59, 61) which prevent the outermost leader convolution (47) of a film roll (37) wound on the spool core (23) from clock-springing into contact with the cassette shell (3). When the spool core (23) is initially rotated, the disks (51, 53) can remain substantially stationary and the film roll (37), since its inner end (39) is secured to the spool core, tends to expand radially to ensure a non-slipping relation between the outermost leader convolution (47) and the circumferential lips (59, 61). Then, rotation of the spool core (23) must rotate the disks (51, 53) and stationary internal spreaders (65, 67) will deflect successive portions (59', 61') of the lips (59, 61) to an axial dimension exceeding the film width, thereby allowing corresponding portions of the outermost leader convolution (47) to exit from the radial confinement of the lips. Stationary internal guides (73, 75) direct the freed forward end (45) of the outermost leader convolution (47) to the cassette opening (25). Sufficient film thrust is provided by the spool core (23) as it is rotated, to thread the film leader (43) along a predetermined path from the cassette opening (25), to the outside of the cassette shell (3).
