Abstract: Analysis system for the analytical investigation of a sample, in particular of a body fluid. It consists of test elements brought into contact, for performing an analysis, with a sample to be investigated, and an evaluation apparatus with a test element support for positioning the test element in a measurement position, as well as a measurement and evaluation electronic device. The measurement and evaluation electronic device of the evaluation apparatus comprises a temperature correction device, in order to take into account the temperature prevailing in the measurement zone during the measurement for the determination of the result of the analysis. The temperature correction unit includes a temperature history imaging device for the currentless tracing of the temperature history before the time of measuring, without consuming electric energy before the time of measuring.

Abstract: A fluid supply for an occupant restraint system includes a pair of concentric cylindrical vessels defining inner and outer fluid chambers in fluid communication with each other and with a discharge passage which is normally closed by a shearable member and with expandable confinement. A valve member is slidingly carried within the inner cylinder, exposing one end of the valve member to the inner fluid chamber, and partially defines a control pressure chamber providing metered communication therefrom to the inner fluid chamber. The valve is responsive to the difference in pressure between the control chamber and the inner chamber to move from a position restricting flow from the outer fluid chamber to the inner to a position allowing relatively free flow.A shearing member is also provided for opening the discharge passage in response to the occurrence of a collision.
