Abstract: An optical system for non-invasive monitoring includes a light source to direct one or more pulses of light into an eye, a subject and a light receiver to receive light returning from the eye. The light receiver, or a processor coupled to the light receiver, records a frequency or intensity of the returning light at a selected timing relative to the one or more pulses of light from the light source. This timing may be selected to reduce a proportion of light reflected from a cornea, iris, or lens of the eye.

Abstract: An inside out generator disposed aft of the low-pressure turbine spool to generate power for the electrical demands of an aircraft system. The low-pressure turbine discharge flow is used to drive the power turbine, which is coupled to the generator. The generator is able to extract power at idle conditions of the aircraft engine from ducting the discharge through the inside out generator. The system eliminates the placement of a generator in the hot gas path of the discharge, and enables the injection of power directly to the accessory gear box of the engine.

Abstract: A device for non-invasive monitoring of a human or animal subject's bodily functions in vivo, having a first optical system which comprises: a) illumination means (14) for directing illumination light into the eye and for providing the illumination light in one or more pulses; and b) receiving means (17) for receiving light returning from the eye (as a result of illumination by the illumination light) and arranged to record the frequency and/or intensity of such returning light intermittently at a selected timing relative to the pulse(s) of illumination light so as to reduce the proportion of light reflected from the cornea (7) and/or iris (4) and/or lens (9) of the eye that is being recorded. The subject's eye is also thereby used as an integrating sphere so illumination of the interior of the eye is not affected by changes in the illumination light.
