Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for measuring the pulsatile volume and net inflow in a body segment (e.g. a limb) is disclosed. An amplitude stabilized oscillator of high quality is utilized, together with normalization of the output signal measured at the body segment relative to the input signal delivered to the body segment such that an improved signal-to-noise ratio is achieved. In addition, utilizing a digital computer and an EKG signal as a time reference, the individual plethysmograph volume pulse and its first derivative are selectively averaged over many beats, thus further improving the signal-to-noise ratio and allowing a more critical examination of the wave profile. The outputs from the computer include the plethysmogram, the first and second derivatives thereof, the averaged EKG waveform, and the absolute physiologic values of peak-to-peak pulsatile volume, and peak net inflow.

Abstract: A portable collapsible frame structure for tents, shelters, temporary buildings and the like is disclosed. The frame includes a plurality of elongate, rigid frame members connected by pivotable joints to each other in end-to-end relation such that alternating joints are articulatable in opposite directions to permit folding of the frame members into side-by-side, parallel relation for ease of transportation. The frame structure is held in its erected position by tensile elements which are arranged to apply a compressive force to the abutting ends of the frame members and thereby rigidify the joints of the frame structure.

Abstract: An improved buoyancy compensation device having a lesser change in buoyancy with depth than conventional buoyancy compensation devices which use ambient pressure bladders is disclosed. The improved device comprises one or more elastic members that, throughout the working range of diving pressures and volumes, is always elastic and, when pressurized, maintains an internal air pressure that is always greater than the ambient pressure at any dive depth. The invention also relates to a method of providing a buoyancy compensation device with an elastic member having a lift versus depth characteristic that approaches the lift versus depth characteristic of a constant or fixed volume buoyancy compensation device.
