Abstract: A universal/upgrading pulse oximeter (UPO) (210) comprises a portable unit (610) and a docking station (660, 910) together providing three-instruments-in-one functionality for measuring oxygen saturation and related physiological parameters. The portable unit functions as a handheld pulse oximeter. The combination of the docked portable and the docking station functions as a stand-alone, high-performance pulse oximeter. The portable-docking station combination is also connectable to, and universally compatible with, pulse oximeters from various manufacturers through use of a waveform generator (320, 930). The UPO provides a universal sensor to pulse oximeter interface and a pulse oximeter measurement capability that upgrades the performance of conventional instruments by increasing low perfusion performance and motion artifact immunity, for example. Universal compatibility combined with portability allows the UPO to be transported along with patients transferred between an ambulance and a hospital ER, or between various hospital sites, providing continuous patient monitoring in addition to plug-compatibility and functional upgrading for multiparameter patient monitoring systems. The image on the portable display (264, 740) is rotatable, either manually when undocked or as a function of orientation (950), In one embodiment, the docking station (660) has a web server and network interface (1410) that allows UPO data to be downloaded and viewed as web pages over a local area network (1420) or the Internet.

Abstract: The invention relates to thread-forming polyesters and copolyesters containing chemical modifying agents in the form of condensed-in chain branching agents and physical modifying agents in the form of polymeric additives that essentially form no chemical bond with the thread-forming polyesters and copolyesters. The ratio of chemical modifying agents to physical modifying agents by percentage by weight in relation to the thread-forming polyesters and copolyesters is between 0.001 and 0.5. The inventive polyesters and copolyesters are excellently suited to high-speed spinning of textile and industrial yarns with winding speeds of 2500 to 10 000 m/min and to the subsequent processes, e.g. stretching and texturing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant d'obtenir une égalisation de gain dans des systèmes de communication. Il convient d'amplifier un grand nombre de signaux optiques à différentes longueurs d'onde, tout en maintenant la puissance de signal dans une gamme acceptable. Compte tenu des différences au niveau du gain des amplificateurs optiques classiques en fonction de la longueur d'onde et de la puissance d'entrée, les signaux à différentes longueurs d'onde ne sont amplifiés de manière équivalente. Ainsi, amplifiés plusieurs fois, certains signaux tendent à s'atténuer considérablement au point de devenir inutilisables. Grâce à l'appareil égalisateur de gain et au procédé associé, les signaux présentant des produits de puissance de gain supérieurs, peuvent être atténués par une plus grande valeur en réponse au déphasage induit de Kerr. Ainsi, après plusieurs stades d'amplification, toutes les puissances de signal convergent vers une petite gamme de puissances de sortie acceptables. L'appareil produit l'amplification, à plusieurs reprises, d'une série de signaux ayant plusieurs longueurs d'onde couvrant un très large spectre, tout en conservant la puissance de tous les signaux à l'intérieur d'une petite gamme. L'étalement de cette gamme de puissance de signal résiste aux changements au niveau de la puissance de signal, au niveau du nombre de signaux et, dans une certaine mesure, au niveau de la puissance de pompage de l'amplificateur. La conception de l'appareil résiste également aux changements de fabrication au niveau des paramètres de ses composants. L'appareil et l'invention concernent, de préférence, les amplificateurs Sagnac non linéaires ayant des amplificateurs à fibres dopés à l'erbium, placés de manière asymétrique dans une boucle interférométrique.

Abstract: A band saw blade having relatively extended pitch patterns of eight of more teeth exhibits relatively low noise and vibration during cutting operations, and substantially uniform tooth loading characteristics. The band saw blade defines set patterns within each pitch pattern, and each set pattern is defined by an unset leading tooth followed by a plurality of offset trailing teeth. Each tooth within each set pattern defines a pitch between the respective tooth and the preceding tooth in the cutting direction of the saw blade, and an accumulated pitch between the respective tooth and the preceding tooth of like set direction in the cutting direction of the saw blade. The ratio of pitch to accumulated pitch for each tooth within each set pattern increases from one tooth to the next in the direction opposite the cutting direction of the saw blade for substantially uniformly distributing the chip load over the teeth of the saw blade. In addition, during cutting operations, each tooth entering or exiting the workpiece defines a different pitch or forcing frequency than does every other tooth simultaneously entering or exiting the workpiece, or successively entering or exiting the workpiece, to thereby minimize noise and vibration during cutting operations.

Abstract: A method of producing on-demand, semi-solid material for a casting process includes the steps of first heating a metal alloy until it reaches a molten state and maintaining that molten state within a desired temperature range. The next step is to ladle out a portion of the molten alloy and transfer it into a processing vessel. In one arrangement the vessel is configured with its own cooling arrangement so as to begin the solidification process for the molten alloy. In another embodiment, a thermal jacket is used to facilitate the cooling of the vessel and accordingly the cooling of the molten alloy. The next step is to apply an electromagnetic field to the molten alloy in order to create a stirring action which results in a desired flow pattern of the molten alloy within the vessel. The electromagnetic stirring begins as soon as the molten alloy is placed in the vessel and continues while the cooling continues in order to create a slurry billet of the desired metallurgical composition. The final step is to discharge the slurry billet from the vessel directly into a shot sleeve of a casting machine. The apparatus related to the described method includes a vessel which is constructed and arranged for receipt of the molten alloy. A robotic arm is provided in one embodiment for moving the vessel into a stator and then from the stator to the discharge location. In another embodiment, pneumatic cylinders are used in cooperation with structural linkages to effect movement of the vessel first into the stator and then from the stator to the discharge location. Suitable cooling arrangements for the vessel include cooling lines within the vessel, the passage of cooling air between the stator and the vessel, and the use of a thermal jacket.
