Abstract: A method for adjusting and maintaining a desired room climate with regards to temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration at a given charge of heat, humidity, and carbon dioxide. A proportionate amount of outer air is cooled to a saturation temperature and then dehumidified. The saturation temperature results from the intersecting point of the saturation curve of humid air, and a straight line which extends through the point of state of the air being in the state of the desired climate of the room air, and the point of state of the available outer air in an h,x diagram, i.e., provided with a rise of the quotient of the heat charge in relation to the humidity charge.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining particle character moving with a vertical fluid flow towards a multiplet of calibrated sediment traps. The number N of measuring locations, which coincides with the number of n different particle groups (Pn) occurring at all of them, with N (N=n) different types of sediment traps (TN) the mass accumulations (MTN) and the sinking/raising velocity spectrum (VW) of the n particle groups are determined. Upon formulation and solution of a linearly independent system of [N] accumulation equations under incorporation of the established calibration and measurement parameters, the sought-after in-situ mass flux [(ISM)Pn] and the derived in-situ total mess flux [(ISM)p] is obtained.

Two arched pieces are arranged about the area of the ends of the boom where the working track and return track meet. The two wheel suspension mechanisms of the crane trolleys are constructed so as to rotate freely about a vertical axis. The two rotation axes of the crane trolleys are arranged with a spacing with respect to the longitudinal axis thereof corresponding to half the mutual spacing of the two rails of the return track.

Abstract: A switching device is interposed between a conventional physiological information monitor and a plurality of conventional sensors for a particular physiological function. The sensors are located on different parts of the body. Each of the plurality of sensors may be selected through the switching device to give a continuous indication of a particular physiological function in a localized area of the body. The device prevents the loss of information due to interrupted blood flow in a particular part of the body or the failure of a sensor.
