摘要:
The invention is directed to a measuring apparatus for detecting gases with the aid of an electrochemical sensor with a diffusion barrier being disposed ahead of the sensor. The measuring apparatus is improved in such a manner that the sensor is adaptable with respect to its sensitivity to different measuring ranges during operation without external intervention. The speed of response of the sensor is also increased. Diffusion openings in the diffusion barrier are closable with a valve arrangement associated with the valve openings. The valve arrangement is connected via a valve drive unit to a measurement value comparator for changing the operating position of the particular valve to be actuated.

A circuit arrangement is disclosed for correcting the output of a sensor which experiences changes in sensitivity due to the presence of one or more influencing factors, such as the concentration of a material to be sensed, or the passage of time. The circuit arrangement includes a correction network which generates a simulated sensitivity curve which simulated curve is combined with the output of the signal to produce a corrected output signal which has apparent constant sensitivity.

A compressed air respirator with prolonged operating time due to rebreathing. The compressed air reservoir includes a compressed air reserve with a connected demand air supply valve, a reversible breathing gas reservoir (4) with a registering device (5) detecting the filling level of the breathing gas reservoir (4), and with an inspiration and expiration line (7, 8) for the user of the apparatus. A valve (6) is connected with the inspiration and expiration line (7, 8) and, on the inlet side, with the compressed air reserve (1) with a demand air supply valve (2) and with the breathing gas reservoir (4) and, on the outlet side, with the ambient air (11) and with the breathing gas reservoir (4). The valve means (6) is cyclically reversed by the registering device (5) in two phases such that depending on the filling level of the breathing gas reservoir (4), the inspiration line (7) is first connected with the compressed air reserve (1) and the expiration line (8) with the breathing gas reservoir (4) during a first phase until the filling level of the breathing gas reservoir (4) reaches an upper reversing point for the valve means (6), so that the inspiration line (7) is connected with the breathing gas reservoir (4) and the expiration line (78) with the ambient air (11) during a second phase until the filling level of the breathing gas reservoir (4) reaches a lower reversing point for the valve means (6) and the latter is again reversed as in the first phase.

A device for guiding a person along a traveled path enables the wearer of the device to be guided back along the traveled path in an electronically supported manner even under conditions under which orientation is difficult. The device has a portable ejection means (2), in which a container (14) for accommodating a plurality of transponders (7) and an ejection mechanism (10), which is actuated by a control device (6) to eject a transponder (7) from the container (14), are present. A control unit (6) is prepared such as to actuate the ejection mechanism (10) at predetermined time intervals or at predetermined distances in space. A portable transmitter/receiver device (8) is designed to detect at least one of the transponders (7) dropped off and to generate a signal representative of the direction in which that transponder (7) is located. A portable display device (4) receives the direction signal of the transmitter/receiver means (8) and offers the wearer a visual and/or acoustic display of the direction.

The invention is directed to an arrangement for blocking the operation by an intoxicated operator of a machine or a motor vehicle. The arrangement has a measuring apparatus which determines the blood alcohol content of the operator and an evaluation unit connected to the machine or motor vehicle. The evaluation unit receives measurement data supplied by the measurement apparatus and enables the machine or motor vehicle when the measurement data satisfies at least one predetermined condition. The arrangement is improved in that the sobriety of the operator is recognized before the starting operation of the machine or motor vehicle without it being necessary to supply a breath sample. The measuring apparatus includes a gas sensor which is a sensor for measuring the blood alcohol content via permeation through the skin of the operator. The measuring apparatus is configured so that it can be worn by the operator preferably on the leg or arm.

A test tube for combustible gases is intended to be provided with protective devices, so that, in proving the presence of combustible gases, it cannot become an ignition source. To that end, a flame arrester is arranged in front of and/or behind the test material.
摘要:
A closed cycle respirator is disclosed which includes a respiration air cycle having a breathing bag and a carbon dioxide absorber with connecting lines between the breathing bag and absorber and to a junction adapted for use by the user of the equipment. A pressurized oxygen bottle is provided with a controllable valve for supplying oxygen to the cycle in case the oxygen drops below a selected value in the breathing bag. In case of failure of the controllable valve, a separate oxygen supply connection is provided to the breathing cycle with a valve which senses a reduction of pressure in the breathing cycle and opens the connection to the oxygen bottle for emergency supply of oxygen to the cycle.
摘要:
A device for supplying a patient with breathing gas, in which an initially high initial pressure Paw(t=0) applied from the outside is automatically lowered by means of a control circuit to a lower inspiratory pressure Paw(t) as soon as a pulmonary internal pressure Plung(t) threatens to exceed a predetermined pulmonary target pressure Plung,soll. Overinflation of the lungs due to the respiration is thus ruled out according to the present invention. The device permits, moreover, rapid filling of the lungs with breathing gas and makes thus possible a comparatively long phase of expiration. A process is also provided for regulating a respirator and for respirating a patient.

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for improved correction of drift in an infrared measuring instrument. The measurement signal furnished by a thermal detector is split into a direct voltage component and an alternating voltage component. By means of calibration curves (24, 27), a calculated comparison variable T DC , korr 900 is formed from a measured, averaged concentration value c AC1 900 . The correction value ΔT for the drift correction is obtained from the difference between the corresponding measured size of the direct voltage component T DC 900 and the comparison variable T DC , korr 900 .
摘要:
A modular system of electronic assembly units worn close to the body has assembly units that can be coupled with a common bus system. The modular system includes at least one control unit, which is designed such that it can assume a master function in respect to additional coupled electronic assembly units. The electronic components coupled with the common bus system are put automatically into operation when a minimum configuration of electronic assembly units is coupled with the common bus system.
