摘要:
A cuff regulator for an endotracheal-tube cuff comprising a first chamber connected to a pressurized gas supply source, and a second chamber connected to the first chamber through a pressure regulating valve and having an opening connected to a cuff of the cuffed endotracheal-tube. An orifice open to the external environment is provided in a part of a gas conduit between the second chamber and the cuff. A third chamber is also provided having the same pressure as that of the environment in which the cuff is existent. A valve driving apparatus drives the pressure regulating valve in response to the pressure difference between the third chamber and the second chamber, and a pressure setting device sets a desired cuff pressure at which opening and closing operations of the pressure regulating valve are actuated. With such construction, gas having a pressure higher than the desired cuff pressure is supplied from the pressurized gas supply source to the first chamber, and the cuff pressure is maintained at the desired cuff pressure set by the pressure setting device while the gas is slowly discharged toward the external environment through the orifice.

A method of producing oxygen rich gas utilizing an oxygen concentrator having a plurality of parallel-connected moisture/nitrogen removing units alternately operated to produce an oxygen-rich gas and connected through respective flow regulating valves to a common buffer tank for storing the gas thus produced. The flow regulating valves are operated so that, throughout substantially the second half of the operation cycle of each moisture/nitrogen removing unit, a portion of the gas having been processed by that unit is supplied to the other moisutre/nitrogen removing unit to restore its ability to remove the moisture and nitrogen and further so that, when the concentrator is to be stopped, a portion of the oxygen-rich gas stored in the buffer tank is caused to flow back into the one of the units having just finished a complete operation cycle to restore its ability to remove the moisture and nitrogen, thus providing immediate start-up of the units as well as immediate supply of oxygen-rich gas upon restarting the concentrator.

A shape measurement instrument includes a plurality of transmitters 1 to 4 which radiate signals having different waveforms or phases, receivers 31 to 34 which receive signals reflected from an object O, correlation units 41 to 44 which obtain correlation waveforms between waveforms of the signals received by the receivers 31 to 34, and the signal radiated by a transmitter radiating the received signal of the transmitters 1 to 4, and a shape estimation unit 5 which extracts a quasi-wavefront based on the correlation waveforms obtained by the correlation units 41 to 44 and estimates a shape of the object O based on a relationship between the quasi-wavefront and the object O. As a result, a period of time required to measure an object shape can be significantly reduced.
