Abstract: This invention relates to gases distribution systems and in particular, to temperature sensors. The sensor of the present invention is configured to determine the temperature of a flow of respiratory gases and comprises a sensor housing (36) configured for positioning proximate to a flow of gases and a temperature transducer (31) housed within the sensor housing (36). The sensor housing (36) provides a substantial pathogen barrier between the flow of gases and the temperature transducer (31), but permits the temperature transducer to provide a substantial indication of the temperature of the flow of gases. In particular, the temperature of the gases is remotely sensed via a conductive path (38) through the wall of the breathing circuit (14). This conductive path (38), integral to the breathing circuit (14), could then be disposed of or reused after suitable sterilisation.

Cette séquence est répétée pour chaque commutateur dans la matrice statique. Dans un mode de réalisation, après la configuration statique du commutateur, ce dernier est isolé de tous les commutateurs réglés dynamiquement dans la matrice. Le commutateur détecte lequel de ses ports est connecté à des commutateurs réglés dynamiquement, puis les isole tout en maintenant opérationnel les ports connectés à des commutateurs configurés statiquement.

Abstract: Die vorliegende Anmeldung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Analyse komplexer Mischungen von Peptiden. Das Problem ist die Bereitstellung eines Verfahrens .zur Analyse komplexer Mischungen von Peptiden mit einer deutlichen Reduktion der zu analysierenden Komponenten bei nur geringem Verlust des Informationsgehaltes. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch. eine gezielte Selektion der Peptidfragmente durch Kopplungs und Entkopplungsreaktionen an einen fasten Träger, sowie Fragmentierung. Es gibt verschiedene Ausführungsformen : Eine erste Ausführungsform nützt die vorteilhafte Eigenschaft gekoppelter N terminaler Peptiden aus, dass selektive Freisetzung vom Trägerrnaterial möglich ist, wenn pDITC als Linker verwendet wird, wohingegen Peptide welche Ober Aminosäureketten mit NH2- Funktionalität gekoppelt sind nicht, freigesetzt werden. Eine zweite Ausführungsform verwendet Blockierung der N-Termini von Peptiden die danach gespaltet werden. Danach findet Kopplung an den fasten Träger statt und werden nur Peptide mit einem freien N-Terminus immobilisiert, wohingegen die blockierten N-terminalen Peptide mittels eines Waschschrittes isoliert werden können. Optional findet eine Markierung der Peptide statt. Danach kann die Mischung mit Massenpektrometrie- oder Fluoreszenzpektroskopie analysiert werden. Auch wird die Immobilisierung von Peptiden nach Spaltung mit CNBr via Homoserinlacton über die Amingruppe auf den fasten Träger vorgeschlagen.

Abstract: A protection circuit and method are provided for a floating power transfer device having one or more switches for controlling charging of a reservoir capacitor across which a load is applied when in use. The protection circuit includes a control circuit (43), a fault detection circuit (33) and a precharge driver circuit (47). The control circuit (43) at least partially controls switching of the at least one switch, while the fault detection circuit (33) detects when a fault in the floating power transfer device or the load occurs and sends a fault detect signal to the control circuit (43) in response thereto. The precharge driver circuit (47), which is enabled by the control circuit (43) responsive to receipt of the fault detect signal, attempts to precharge the reservoir capacitor (35) to a voltage level sufficient for switching of the one or more switches (36, 37) to proceed without damaging the switches (36, 37).
