A microwave transmit/receive module comprises a single multi-layer substrate having at least two opposed mounting surfaces. The substrate including a plurality of integrated dielectric layers, electrical conductors and thermal conductors selectively interconnected between the layers of the substrate. A microwave signal processing means is mounted on at least one of the mounting surfaces of the substrate for processing microwave radar signals. A control signal processing means is mounted on at least one of the mounting surfaces of the substrate for providing control signals for the microwave signal processing means via selected electrical conductors. A power conditioning means is mounted on at least one of the mounting surfaces of the substrate for providing power to the microwave signal processing means and the control signal processing means via selected electrical conductors. A heat sink interface means coupled to the thermal conductors is mounted on at least one of the mounting surfaces of the substrate in thermal proximity selected portions of the microwave signal processing means, the power conditioning means and the control signal processing means for conducting thermal energy away therefrom via selected thermal conductors. An optical interface interface as well as an integrated coaxial cable carrying power, control and microwave signals for the module.

A control and monitoring system for an oxygen generation device having a plurality of chemical oxygen generation elements sequentially decomposed to continuously generate oxygen. The control and monitoring system has a temperature sensor operatively coupled to each of the chemical oxygen generation elements, except the one to be ignited last, for producing a first control signal in response to the heat generated by the chemical oxygen generation elements during decomposition, a gas flow sensor disposed in the oxygen outlet has the oxygen generation elements and responsive to a flow rate less than a predetermined minimum flow rate to produce a second control signal, a sequential ignition mechanism operated on the occurrence of both the first control signal and the second control signal, as an ignition signal for igniting the oxygen generation elements one after another, and an alarm operative in response to the second control signal after a time interval of not less than a predetermined magnitude for indicating the interruption of oxygen generation for an abnormally long time interval.Preferably, light emitter indicator means are provided to indicate ignition of the corresponding oxygen generating element.

The disclosed gas flow sensor has an orifice connected in an oxygen conduit and a pressure switch connected to the conduit by having a pressure chamber communicating with the conduit. The chamber terminates at a diaphram which is operatively coupled to a normally open microswitch by a spring loaded rod. As the flow rate of oxygen flowing through the conduit drops below a permissible minimum magnitude, back pressure on the orifice decreases so as to close the microswitch to provide a control signal. A bypass valve is connected across the orifice to prevent the oxygen pressure within the conduit from excessively increasing.
