Abstract: Device for measuring the respiration of a person is provided with a strap (1), which can be applied so that it fits around the upper body of the person, and a detector for measuring the variation in the circumference of the upper body caused by respiration. The detector supplies a measurement signal corresponding to this variation to a processing circuit which controls a display device (13) for displaying this variation. The strap (1) is made of an elastic material and can be fitted around the upper body under a desired pre-tension. The detector comprises an elongated element (4) made of non-stretchable material, preferably a cord, which at least virtually extends over the entire length of the strap (1) and is supported by the strap (1). One end of the cord (4) is rigidly coupled to the strap (1) and the other end actuates a transducer (6), which transforms the movement of the element (4) relative to the strap (1) into the measurement signal, which is supplied to the processing circuit.

Abstract: Described herein is an automated quality inspection station for evaluating color component characteristics of a product. The inspection station includes a color video camera, for capturing video frames of product images, and a control system for analyzing those video frames. The control system is programmed to perform a reference calibration and then a sample calibration. During the reference calibration an operator identifies component type areas from a displayed reference frame of a typical product assortment. The control system calculates color value density curves from the identified areas. The density curves are then calibrated to each other by scaling each of the density curves by a scaling factor. The scaling factors can either be provided directly by the operator or default values can be calculated by the control system. Default scaling factor values are calculated by summing the product of the corresponding density curve and an overall histogram of a sample video frame over a range of color values. Individual pixels are classified as one of a plurality of component types according to the highest calibrated density curve at the pixels' color value. <IMAGE>

The sinusoid at each end portion (14, 14') has an optimum amplitude Ao,opt defined by: Ao,opt = [k1( sigma c)<k>2] [ sigma u< alpha >  epsilon f< beta >] [Af/Pf], where k1 = 2.025 x 10<-2>,  sigma c = compressive strength of the cement-based material in MPa, k2 = 3.19 x 10<-1>,  sigma u = ultimate tensile strength of the metal in MPa,  alpha  = 6.60 x 10<-1>,  epsilon f = ductility of the metal in percent, and  beta  = 3.20 x 10<-1>, Af = cross-sectional area of the fiber in mm<2>, and Pf = perimeter of the fiber in mm. The sinusoid further has a wavelength Ls defined by: Ls = (Lf - Lm)/2, where Lf = length of the fiber, Lm = length of the central portion, and wherein 0.5 Lf < Lm < 0.75 Lf. Since the optimum amplitude is defined as a function of the ultimate tensile strength and ductility of the fiber material as well as of the compressive strength of the matrix material, it is possible to tailor the fiber geometry according to the properties of the fiber and matrix materials chosen, and ultimately to the composite toughness desired in an actual structure.

Abstract: A method for improving the radial enlargeability and other properties of tape-reinforced tubular vascular graft formed of sintered fluoropolymer(s), such as expanded, sintered PTFE. Broadly, the method comprises the step of radially shrinking the reinforcement tape layer of the graft, or the entire tape-reinforced graft, after sintering thereof. Such radial shrinkage of the reinforcement tape layer, or of the entire graft, renders the graft subsequently radially enlargeable by more than 5%, without tearing or breaking of the reinforcement tape layer of the graft. Radially enlargeable grafts of the present invention may be combined with various types of stents or anchoring systems, to form endovascular graft devices which are transluminally insertable and implantable within the lumen of a host blood vessel. Alternatively, radially enlargeable grafts of the present invention may be implanted by way of traditional surgical graft implantation techniques, without any radial enlargement of the graft at the time of implantation, so as to take advantage of the improved strength properties and suture-holding properties of the radially-shrunken tape-reinforced grafts of the present invention.
