Granted: 2001-10-02
Abstract: A thermodilution catheter (100) having a heating filament (400) which is fabricated so as to be thin and flexible enough to avoid contact with the patient's blood. The heating filament is either inserted in a preformed catheter lumen, incorporated into a wall of the catheter body itself, or wrapped around the catheter body wall and surrounded by an external sheath (404). Generally, the covering of the heating filament is minimally thin so as to allow the heat from the heating filament (400) to be transferred to the surrounding blood and to minimally increase the overal cross-sectional area. Since the heating filament (400) does not directly touch the patient's blood, the outer surface may he made smooth so as to prevent inducement of blood clots. In addition, the heat-ing filament (400) maybe maintained at a safe temperature by forming the heating element of a flexible material having a high temperature coefficient of resistance, law thermal capacitance and high thermal conductivity.

Abstract: An improved gas turbine engine diagnostic system is disclosed which is particularly adapted for direct measurement of compressor performance, including efficiency and mass flow, for aircraft engines, without having to remove the engine form the aircraft. The system includes an instrumented compressor air discharge tube which has probes for total pressure, static pressure and temperature. The instrumented air discharge tube may be substituted for an existing air discharge tube for the engine to be tested, without having to remove the engine. Transducers attached to these probes provide signals which are connected to a data recorder or computer.  Data can be taken as the engine is run, either on ground test or flight test.     The total mass airflow output from the compressor stage for various engine performance settings can then be calculated using the static pressure, total pressure and air temperature measurements. At the completion of the test, the instrumented air tube can be removed and the original one replaced.

Abstract: This invention is a cooling system for the continuous casting. It is a simple as a cooling is achieved by a direct and continuous contact of a cast hot surface with a bath of a cooling fluid flowing into a cooling chamber through a cooling fluid inlet tube and departing through a cooling fluid outlet tube. This cooling system is a self-operating as a vacuum is created inside the cooling chamber by the presence of a fluid head pressure at the cooling fluid outlet tube. In the horizontal casting, the cast travels along the horizontal axis of a longitudinal cooling chamber and through a cast entrance and exit means of perforated flat ends. Said created vacuum introduces streams of ambient air into the cooling chamber through offset clearances surrounding the cast surfaces at the cast entrance and exit, and results in preventing cooling fluid leakages outward, redirecting erupted vapors inward and improving cooling by forming a turbulent cooling fluid flow around the cast surfaces. This turbulent flow can be further enhanced by means of inclined tube-jets positioned into the cooling chamber at the cast entrance end. The cooling fluid inlet and outlet tubes are joined with the cooling chamber at the lower portion near the cast exit end, and at the side top portion near the other end, respectively. The joint-connection of the cooling fluid outlet tube with the cooling chamber is positioned, so that it becomes partially immersed in the departing cooling fluid. Thus, air and erupted vapour removal out of the coating chamber, is achieved in form of bubbles entrained at the cooling fluid outlet tube, maintaining the created vacuum at a constant level. In the vertical continuous casting, the same embodiments are used with the cooling chamber positioned vertically and soft seal discs added at the offset clearance. Further, an auxiliary suction pump may be attached to the outlet tube.   In Olmo Continuous Casting, where other cooling systems impose limitations such as water leakages and vapor eruption, this cooling system has proven to be a viable option at cost effective with a compatible cooling rate".

Title: Pulse oximeter using a virtual trigger for heart rate synchronization
Inventor: BAKER CLARK R JR
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1994-09-28
Granted: 2005-03-15
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for more accurately calculating and measuring vital information such as oxygen saturation and pulse rate when an ECG signal is not available. Instead of using an ECG R-wave as a trigger to overlay optical pulses, a virtual trigger is generated based on the heart rate and used to overlay optical pulse data. The optical information from a number of periods is added together, with the beginning of each period being determined by the issuance of the virtual trigger. In this way, the maximum and minimum of the optical signal should be lined up with each other in each period and added together to give a cumulative maximum and minimum.  This enables precise identification of the maximum and minimum of the signal, and thus allows calculation of the oxygen saturation at that point.

Title: Electron generating device, image display apparatus, driving circuit therefor, and driving method

Abstract: In order to prevent voltage drops across the wiring resistances in a multi-electron source having a plurality of electron emitters wired in the form of a matrix through a plurality of data wiring layers and a plurality of scanning wiring layers, a constant current signal is output to each data wiring layer. At this time, each non-selected data wiring layer tends to be set at a high impedance selected and vary in potential, resulting in an abnormal turn-on operation or an electron orbit shift. A driving circuit for solving this problem is provided. A switch for switching a constant current output unit for outputting a constant current regardless of the impedance of a signal output destination, and a constant voltage output unit for outputting a constant voltage regardless of the impedance of a signal output destination is connected to each data wiring layer. For example, a constant-current circuit (17) as a current output unit always outputs the same current (I1 to In) to a switch (30). A pulse width signal (PW1 to PWn) from a pulse-width modulation circuit (7) serves to switch the mode of outputting a current (I1 to In) to a data wiring layer (Dy1 to Dyn) and the mode of fixing a data wiring layer to voltage GND.
