Abstract: A moisture sump (14) integrated into a carbon dioxide absorber canister (18) provides a
collection reservoir (80) for condensate from a patient ventilator system when the carbon
dioxide absorber canister is attached to the ventilator system. The volume of the moisture
sump (14,80) is appropriately sized so that the time interval required to collect a maximum
amount of condensate interval is not more than the life expectancy of the carbon dioxide
absorbing material contained within a chamber (90) of the canister. The moisture sump (14)
allows condensate management of difficult to drain areas such as the inlet (34) to the
expiratory check valve (38,41) of a ventilator system. The removal of the carbon dioxide
absorber canister (18) by a patient attendee to replace the carbon dioxide absorbing material
ensures that the condensate collected by the integral moisture sump (14,80) is eliminated
from the patient ventilator system.

IPC: B64D10/00

Abstract: A mask (11) is shown which is used for
providing air or oxygen for breathing. The mask (16)
has a differential pressure sensor (30) for providing
a signal to control oxygen or airflow to the mask
(16). In one form the sensor is in the wall of the
mask or in a wall of a supply tube, to sense the
differences between ambient pressure, for example in
the cabin (10) of an aircraft, and pressure in the
breathing space (24) on the interior of the mask
(16). Reduction in the pressure on the interior of
the mask (16) can indicate that a pilot (12) is not
receiving adequate oxygen, or is being subjected to
stresses that may result in blackouts or red outs.
The signal from the differential pressure sensor (30)
is used to control the flow of oxygen to the mask
(16), and also can be used for controlling the
pressure of pressurized suits (14) worn by the pilot
(12). The pressure sensor (30) output also can be
used to maintain a higher pressure on the interior of
the mask (16) to insure ambient air does not
contaminate the air being breathed.

beam patterns (P 1 -P 4 ) each of which is obtained by
setting a phase shift amount of respective one of at
least four phase shift circuits corresponding to said
at least four antenna elements to 180° and setting
phase shift amounts of the remaining phase shift
circuits to 0° and one antenna beam pattern which is
obtained by setting phase shift amounts of all the

Abstract: Samples such as semiconductor wafers may be subjected to an elementary analysis by irradiation by means of electrons and measurement of the characteristic X-rays (30) generated in the sample. In order to achieve a high spatial resolution, two adjacent holes (6, 8) are formed in the sample surface, leaving a very thin separating wall (10) between said holes and hence limiting the dimension of the sample volume (24) interacting with the irradiation beam. However, electrons pass through the wall, thus generating disturbing X-rays in the walls of the hole (8) behind the thin separating wall. According to the invention the hole (8) behind the separating wall (10) is provided with a stopping material (12) of an elementary composition which deviates from that of the wall (10). If the separating wall to be analyzed contains silicon, the stopping material (12) should preferably be platinum or carbon.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de couplage permettant de coupler ensemble plusieurs boîtes disposées les unes sur les autres. Ce système est constitué d'ensembles de moyens de verrouillage disposés sur les parois extérieures des boîtes. Chaque ensemble de moyens de verrouillage présente un cadre de verrouillage mobile de façon verticale, capable de venir en prise avec une partie élastique présentée sous la forme d'une serrure à ressort, dotée d'un crochet à surface extérieure conique (24). Le cadre de verrouillage est conçu sous la forme d'une poignée utilisée pour le transport de plusieurs boîtes couplées. L'invention concerne également un système de boîtes modulaire extrêmement facile à utiliser, chaque boîte pouvant être couplée par un simple mouvement de deux cadres de verrouillage. De plus, étant donné que le cadre de verrouillage sert de poignée, il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir d'autres poignées supplémentaires sur une boîte quelconque, ces boîtes pouvant être, par conséquent, empilées ou verrouillées selon un ordre arbitraire et transportées directement au moyen du cadre de verrouillage de la boîte supérieure, servant, comme susmentionné, également de poignée. Afin de rendre le système de boîtes modulaire encore plus flexible, la poignée présente un caractère avantageux en ce qu'elle peut être également utilisée comme une partie de fixation pour des objets, tels que des tuyaux, des bandes, des tables de travail, etc.

Title: Method and circuit configuration for adapting the voltage level for the transmission of data
Inventor: BRAND UWE
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a circuit configuration for adjusting the voltage level for the electrical data transmission (L1) between a transmitting component (SE) and a receiving component (EM) of one or different assemblies. According to the invention, the voltage level is increased step-wise or continuously (st) until the required value (PV) for the correct representation of the signals to be transmitted is reached in the receiving component (EM). Increase of the voltage level is stopped by the transmission of respective information (R). The inventive method and circuit are advantageous in that the minimum voltage level required for the transmission of data can be precisely adjusted. Power loss can be thereby reduced and adjacent channel interferences through high voltage levels can be reduced to a minimum.

Abstract: A perceptual model based on psychoacoustic auditory experiments is based on the (time-domain) roughness of an input signal envelope in particular cochlea filter bands rather than the  noise-like vs. tonal  nature of the input signal. In illustrative embodiments, frequency domain techniques are used to develop envelope and envelope roughness measures, and such roughness measures are then used to derive Noise Masking Ratio (NMR) values for achieving a high level of noise masking in coder embodiments.
