Abstract: A microphone system includes a portable frame for mounting linear pick-up microphones such that each of the microphones has its diaphragm facing outwards from the frame and the diaphragms form a generally elliptical pattern. A microphone with a substantially hemispherical pick-up pattern is mounted on the frame such that it is directed upwards and a second substantially hemispherical pick-up pattern microphone is mounted on the frame directed downwards. The linear pick-up pattern microphones are equispaced about the perimeter of the frame. There is a hand or camera grip depending downwards from the frame. The microphones of the frame can be electronically connected to the channels of a multi-channel digital mixer which in turn can be connected to a multi-channel sound recording device. The microphones may be selectively electronically connected and disconnected to adapt the system for a predetermined sound playback configuration.

Abstract: A felt (14) for use in a papermaking machine includes a woven base fabric (18) and a batt layer (22) for supporting a paper web. A flow control layer (20) is interposed between the base fabric and the fibrous batt layer (22), to impede rewetting of the paper web as the paper web exits a press nip of the papermaking machine. The flow control layer (20) is formed of a porous hydrophobic material. In use, pressure exerted by the press nip forces water from the paper web through the batt layer (22) and the flow control layer (20) into the base fabric (18), and when the pressure is relieved, the hydrophobic properties of the flow control layer (20) impede back-flow of water to the batt layer (22) and thence to the paper web, thereby impeding rewetting of the web. A preferred flow control layer (20) is formed of a spunbonded filamentary nylon material which is non-circular in cross-section, such as tri-lobed/triangular, and may be treated with a hydrophobic chemical composition to enhance its hydrophobic properties. The batt layer (22) and the base layer (18) are preferably secured into the felt by a needling process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for pinpointing an interruption in a link for transmitting digital signals between a first station and a second station on the basis of the times of occurrence of signal changes on the link. In accordance with the invention, the method is characterised by generating signal changes after the link has been restored. Preferably, the time of restoration is determined on the basis of data signals received, and a detection signal is fed to the link after the determination of the time of restoration. On the basis of the difference in time of observing restoration and of receiving a detection signal, the location of the interruption is determined. For this purpose, the length of the link need not be known.

Abstract: The present invention is a sensor cartridge into which sensors are installed. The sensor cartridge allows the sensors to be easily and reliably installed into a blood analyzer. The sensor assembly has an electrical connector mounted on the rear side of the assembly. A plurality of inner walls within the housing locate a pump tube assembly and right angle fluid coupling within the housing. An opening in the housing receives a first boss which extends from the blood analyzer. A capture/release arm has an opening through which the first boss protrudes. The arm is resiliently held in place such that an inner edge of the opening is captured within a ring-like groove in the boss that extends from the blood analyzer when the cartridge is installed in the blood analyzer. A portion of the arm extends beyond the housing to allow an operator to press the arm and thus release the edge of the arm from the groove in the boss. Electrical contacts of the connector on the rear side of the sensor assembly are aligned to mating electrical contacts of the blood analyzer as the sensor assembly is being installed by alignment of the boss which extends from the blood analyzer to mate with the boss which extends from the housing, and alignment of two male fluid connectors. Accordingly, the electrical contacts of the sensor assembly will be in close alignment with the electrical contacts of the blood analyzer as the contacts approach one another.
