    摘要: A medical blood pressure transducer that provides an identifier to a monitor that conveys characteristics of the transducer. The monitor can use the information to decide whether to function, or in calibration of the system. The transducer may be part of a disposable blood pressure monitoring system, and may include two transducers closely-spaced to provide two separate but identical outputs. In this way, the transducer may be connected to both a patient monitor and a cardiac output monitor at the same time measurements from a single line can be simultaneously supplied to two separate monitoring devices (for example a patient monitor and a cardiac output monitor). The identifier for the transducer may be circuitry, specifically a resistance/capacitance (RC) combination that possesses a characteristic time constant.

    摘要: A cycle counter system for use with a loading machine having a loading bucket. The cycle counter system includes at least one weight sensor, an operator activated control and a processing circuit. The at least one weight sensor produces a weight signal relating to a measured weight of a weight lifted by the loading machine. The operator activated control in the loading machine selectively produces at least one control signal. The processing circuit receives the control signal and the weight signal. The measured weight is added to a selected of a plurality of weight values dependent on the at least one control signal.

    摘要: The number of sensors that can be used by an SSA system including a single source can be increased by using a multi wavelength source to send different wavelength pulses to each of a plurality of different sensor array ladders, particularly Sagnac sensor array (SSA) ladders. More particularly, each broadband pulse from a broadband source is wavelength divided into a plurality of narrower pulses with each narrower pulse being used in a separate sensor array ladder.

    摘要: A proof mass is suspended in a cavity in a housing. The proof mass moves along a sensing axis in response to linear acceleration. Elastic support members are connected between the proof mass and the housing and are arranged to exert a reaction force on the proof mass in response to displacement of the proof mass along the sensing axis. An optical fiber is connected between the proof mass and opposite sidewall portions of the housing such that displacement of the proof mass along the sensing axis elongates a first portion of the optical fiber and shortens another portion. An optical signal source provides a broadband optical signal input to the optical fiber. A fiber optic Bragg grating is formed in the optical fiber and arranged to reflect a portion of the optical signal. Acceleration of the proof mass modulates the wavelength of the reflected optical signal.

    摘要: A method for the on-line cleaning of a heat exchanger used with petroleum process fluids which create coke deposits of asphaltenic origin on the exchanger tubes. The asphaltenes are removed by re-dissolution in a solvent oil of high solubility power for the asphaltenes. Certain asphaltenic crudes are useful as solvents in view of their chemical similarity to the asphaltene coke precursors; also useful are refined petroleum fractions such as gas oils which are also characterized by their solvency for asphaltenes. The solvent oil may be admitted to the heat exchanger following withdrawal of the process fluid and then allowed to soak and dissolve the asphaltene coke precursors after which the resulting solution may be withdrawn and the exchanger returned to use without being at any time disconnected from its associated process unit.

    摘要: In tunable systems, during a tuning cycle, express channels or wavelengths are dropped as the system sweeps through its free spectral range (FSR) before stopping at the desired wavelength to be dropped. This is disadvantageous as the data information in the express wavelengths suffers a hit or momentary increase in bit error rate (BER). Techniques for eliminating or at least minimizing interference to those channels or wavelengths are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, the wavelength selection to be dropped is done “off-line” and does not affect the express channels. An optical reference source is used to set up and tune a drop filter. Once the filter is set to the appropriate dropping wavelength, a secondary filter is scanned to cause the channels to be shunted to the drop filter. If the wavelength of a signal and the drop filter matches, the signal is dropped. If the wavelength of the signal and the drop filter wavelength do not matches, the signal passes and is recombined with the other express channels.

    摘要翻译: 在可调系统中,在调谐周期期间,随着系统在其所需波长停止之前扫描其自由光谱范围(FSR),表示通道或波长被丢弃。 这是不利的,因为表达波长中的数据信息遇到比特错误率(BER)的命中或瞬间增加。 公开了用于消除或至少最小化对这些通道或波长的干扰的技术。 根据本发明的一个方面,要丢弃的波长选择是“离线”完成的,并不影响快速通道。 光学参考源用于设置和调整下降滤波器。 一旦滤波器被设置为适当的下降波长,则扫描次级滤波器以使通道被分流到放大滤波器。 如果信号的波长和下降滤波器匹配,则信号被丢弃。 如果信号的波长和下降滤波器波长不匹配,则信号通过并与其他快速通道重新组合。
