Abstract: A measuring cell for receiving a blood sample is designed such that it can be transilluminated with a light source. The light source and a means for determining the luminous intensity corresponding to the light source can be arranged on the measuring cell for determining the luminous intensity of the light of the light source emerging from the measuring cell, wherein the measuring cell has constant, predefined properties with respect to the light of the light source, so that the blood oxygen content of the blood sample can be detected on the means for determining the luminous intensity due to a change of the luminous intensity of the light of the light source.

Abstract: A hand tool has an elongated housing, an adapter at one end of the housing, an electric motor in the housing, and a vane pump in the housing flanged directly to and driven by the motor and having an intake. A conduit is connected in the housing between the intake of the vane pump and the adapter. A battery in the housing is connected to the motor to drive same.

Abstract: A system for recording input electrical signals by positioning galvanometer pen styli relative to a chart paper device in accordance with the input signals. Each pen is mechanically linked to an optical mask. The optical mask in conjunction with an optical system provides a feedback light signal, which is converted to a feedback electrical signal for nulling the input signal. The ink application device includes structure for applying pressure directly to carbon paper, which in turn transfers the carbon or ink to the chart paper, thereby recording clear representations of the electrical signals.
