  • Sparker for flash lamp
    Patent number: 9373494
    Abstract: A base assembly for a flash lamp is disclosed. The base assembly has an integrated sparker and includes an electrically conductive header having a surface that defines a boundary of a flash chamber for the flash lamp. There is an opening in the surface of the electrically conductive header and an electrically conductive lead within the opening. The electrically conductive lead is electrically insulated from surrounding portions of the electrically conductive header. A distal end of the electrically conductive lead is substantially flush with the surface of the electrically conductive header.

  • Capnograph system with integral controller
    Publication number: 20040236242
    Abstract: A capnograph system sensor head includes an airway adapter, a housing for receiving the airway adapter, a source of infrared radiation coupled to the housing for directing infrared radiation through the airway adapter, and a detector subsystem coupled to the housing and responsive to the infrared radiation after it passes through the airway adapter for providing an analog output. A circuit sub-assembly is integrated with the sensor head and includes a controller responsive to the analog output of the detector subsystem. The controller is configured to adjust the gain of the detector subsystem to output a digital signal representative of the amount of a particular gas flowing through the airway adapter.
