Abstract: An ionization chamber for analyzing inhomogeneities in a radiated beam from a particle accelerator system has two measuring chambers formed by three mutually parallel walls spaced apart by spacer rings. Two of the three walls have single electrodes arranged thereon whereas a third wall has several mutually insulated electrodes applied on a measuring chamber side of the wall. The mutually insulated electrodes include a central circular electrode and a group of electrode segments arranged in circular fashion around the central electrode. Inhomogeneities in the radiation intensity of a beam being analyzed are detected by unequal currents in the central electrode relative to surrounding electrode segments or in the electrode segments themselves relative to each other.

Abstract: In one illustrated embodiment a generally conical locating member for a transducer head has a guide surface extending thereabout in successive turns of progressively increasing radius. In another embodiment two generally conical sections provide respective axially oppositely directed guide surfaces whose pitch runs in the same direction such that with head locating arms resiliently engaging the respective guide surfaces, the head is always positively locked with the angular position of the conical drive member. With a stepping motor drive, the guide surface or surfaces may comprise successive flat faces each having a tangential extent to compensate for maximum error in stepping angle. The conical members are made by injection molding for least possible cost.

Abstract: A solid state television camera having a solid state image sensing device and an optical color filter. The color separating characteristics of the color filter are so selected that when a predetermined horizontal scanning line is scanned the solid state image sensing device produces a standard red color signal and a luminance signal sequentially and alternately, and when an adjacent horizontal line is scanned, a blue color signal and luminance signal are produced in the same manner. In this way, different color difference output signals are simultaneously obtained at every horizontal scanning line, and based upon the color difference output signals and luminance signal, there is produced therefrom a standard color video signal.

Abstract: A device for occluding a fluid passageway such as a blood vessel, particularly a human blood vessel, which is of the balloon type, adapted to be inserted, by means of a catheter structure, into a blood vessel and moved thereby to the desired point of occlusion, at which the ballon is expanded by means of a fluid conducted through the catheter, thereby firmly securing the occlusion device to the vessel side wall. Novel means are provided, including a dual valve mechanism for insuring the retention of the expanding fluid in the device, thereby providing efficient sealing of the balloon to substantially eliminate the possibility of fluid leakage upon separation of the occluding device from the inserting catheter structure.
