Filed: 1992-11-02
Abstract: A method is provided to detect leakage from a conduit through which a stream of fluid flows, the method comprising measuring at least one variable of the group consisting of fluid pressure and fluid flow rate over a period of time and at at least one location of the stream, to provide a data set representing the variable at said location and over said period of time. A statistical probability of obtaining said data set from the measurement under the hypothesis that no leakage occurs is determined, and a statistical probability of obtaining said data set from the measurement under the hypothesis that leakage occurs is determined. One of said hypothesis is selected as being true if the probability of obtaining said data set from the measurement under said hypothesis is larger than the probability of obtaining said data set from the measurement under the other hypothesis.

Abstract: A doubly-contained valve particularly useful for controlling the flow of highly flammable or highly toxic fluids consists of a bellows type high purity valve surrounded by an external shell so that in order for the hazardous fluid to escape, it must penetrate two separate walls of metal. The space between the valve and the outer shell may be pressurized or it may be evacuated depending upon the application. Provision of this space permits detection of a leak in the high purity valve while preventing the leaked hazardous fluid from reaching the surrounding air. This doubly-contained valve includes a second bellows coaxial with but inside of the bellows of the high purity valve.

Abstract: An ultrasonic system and method for imaging a surface wherein a C-mode ultrasonic scan is performed over a fixed area of the surface and range gating is applied to that area to a given depth below the surface. For use of the system and method in fingerprint imaging, a live finger is placed upon a sensitive surface, the portion of the finger on the surface is scanned using the ultrasonic energy, and ultrasonic energy returned from the finger portion is received to capture an electronic image of the pattern of ridges and valleys of the fingerprint. The ultrasonic imaging system comprises a probe for providing a directed output ultrasonic beam to scan the surface and to receive ultrasonic echos from the surface, a pulser-receiver to cause the probe to provide the output beam and to provide signals in response to the returned ultrasonic echos, a signal processing circuit for detecting and processing return echo signals from the pulser-receiver and a computer for storing and displaying information contained in signals from the processing circuit and for controlling operation of the processing circuit. The probe scans the surface along one direction, and then along another direction, the two directions preferably being orthogonal.

Abstract: An improved programmable logic cell for use in a programmable logic array comprising cells which are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix of rows and columns and are interconnected by a two-dimensional array of direct connections between a cell and its four nearest neighbors, one to its left (or to the West), and one to its right (or to the East), one above it (or to the North) and one below it (or to the South). Each cell receives input(s) from each of its nearest neighbors and additional input(s) (from a bus, pin, or neighbor) and may be programmed to generate a variety of logical functions at its outputs which connect to the cell's four nearest neighbors. The core of the improved logic cell comprises two upstream gates, the outputs of which feed two downstream gates, one of which is an exclusive-OR gate which feeds a downstream register. Additional programmable connections and other logic augment the cell core to produce cell embodiments which can be configured to efficiently implement various logical functions. Among the functions which may be implemented by the improved cell are a number of two-level combinational functions (such as multiplexing) and sequential functions (such as counting and shifting). A variety of cell embodiments based on the improved cell core are illustrated.

Title: Process and device for determining the volume of blood in circulation.
Inventor: HOEFT ANDREAS DR MED
IPC: A61B5/0275
Filed: 1992-09-12
Abstract: The description relates to a process and device for determining the volume of blood in circulation by the injection of a predetermined quantity of indicator colorant into the bloodstream. The blood volume is calculated via the fibre-optical measurement of the colorant concentration in a central vessel, e.g. from the predetermined quantity of the indicator colorant injected and the cycle of the colorant concentration. Here, the colorant concentration is measured immediately after the predetermined quantity has been injected into the bloodstream and a circulatory transport function g(t) is calculated from the measurement of the colorant concentration. Via the circulatory transport function g(t) is determined the circulatory pulse response d(t) which would correspond to an ideal indicator injection in an extremely short time at a time t=0, the virtual colorant concentration c0? at time t=0 is determined from the circulatory pulse response d(t) by back-extrapolation or direct calculation from the parameters of the circulatory transport function g(t), and the blood volume Vd-blood? is calculated from the predetermined quantity m0? of indicator colorant injected and the virtual colorant concentration c0? at time t=0 by the relation Vd-blood?=m0?/c0?.
