Title: Fibre optic sensor and method of use
Inventor: SALOUR MICHAEL M
IPC: G01D5/26
Filed: 1986-07-30
Granted: 1990-03-15
Abstract: A fiber-optic system for measuring a desired environmental parameter, such as temperature, is disclosed. The system includes a fiber-optic sensing head that alters light of a prescribed frequency as a function of the environmental parameter to be measured. Light not of the prescribed frequency is not so altered. In a preferred embodiment of the fiber-­optic sensing head, a semiconductor material is positioned between two substantially parallel optical fibers at a distal end of the fibers. One fiber serves as in input channel and the other fiber serves as an output channel. Both fibers approach the semiconductor material from the same direction. Light channeled to the semiconductor material is reflected at the distal end of the input fiber so as to pass through the semiconductor material, and then is reflected again at the distal end of the output fiber so as to pass back out the output fiber. The semiconductor material absorbs the light of the prescribed frequency as a function of temperature. By monitoring the intensity of the light of the first frequency at the output channel, a measurement of the temperature to which the fiber-optic sensing head is subjected can be determined. To remove the influence of input light intensities, fiber attenuation, and the like, from the temperature measurement, lights of two frequencies, only one of which is the prescribed frequency, are selectively directed to an optical detector through the fiber-optic sensing head and through a separate fiber-­optic reference channel. The four measurements thus obtained at the optical detector -- prescribed frequency through sensing head, prescribed frequency through reference channel, non-prescribed frequency through sensing head, and non-prescribed frequency through reference channel -- are appropriately processed in order to generate a signal that has all variations or influences removed therefrom except the temperature variations of the sensing head.

Title: Charge-coupled device having an improved input stage
Inventor: PELGROM MARCELLINUS JOHANNES M
IPC: G11C27/04
Filed: 1987-04-08
Granted: 1989-07-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a CCD having a so-called diode cut-off input, in which the input diode is applied to a reference voltage and the input signal is supplied to the input gate located in front of the first clock electrode. More particularly if the electrodes are composed of a transfer part and a storage part with incorporated potential difference, it is possible that, when charge is transported from the input gate to the first clock electrode, a large amount of charge is left behind. In order to avoid this and/or to be able to enlarge the dynamic range of the input signal, a MOST switch controlled by the same clock voltage as the first clock electrode is arranged between the input gate and a reference voltage, for example earth. This switch becomes conducting when the charge is transferred, as a result of which the potential level below the input gate can be adjusted above the surface potential below the transfer part of the first clock electrode.

Filed: 1969-04-11
Abstract: The appts. has a mask or mouthpiece with a perforated diaphragm behind, by which the inspiratory and expiratory phases of breathing can be distinguished. Inhaled air is either air (admitted through a magnetic valve) or a prepared breathing mixture, breathed through a bag through a passive non-return valve. A second perforated diaphragm measures the volume inhaled. Exhaled air passes through a second passive non-return valve and is collected in one of two bags, each fitted with a magnetic valve. Alvielar air can be collected separately. A pipe with a tap connects the general expired air container to the inspired air inlet pipe, so that the expired air can be re-breathed if required. The magnetic valves are under programme control. A pump unit conveys any or all of the gases to an analyser and attached indicating equipment.

Title: Roof ventilator for noisy (e.g. factory) building - noise is trapped within ventilator box while air passes through
IPC: F24F13/24
Filed: 1970-04-20
Abstract: Roof ventilator designed for, e.g., a factory workshop, allows the free escape of air while impeding the escape of noise. The air (with noise) enters from below, through a shaft (3); an adjustable, pivoted louvre-board (8, 9) allows the escape of air, but much of thhe noise is trapped in the chamber formed by the ventilator's sloping ridge-board (5) and a pair of boards (6, 7) which meet at a specially-chosen angle (60 deg.) and which form the side wall of the ventilator. A closed gutter (9) prevents the escape of noise through the narrow space between this 'wall' and the inlet shaft (3, 4). When the main boards (5, 6, 7) are made of foamed plastic encased in metal, noise is attenuated by 15 - 20dB.
