  • Patent number: 6433696
    Abstract: A system for monitoring carbon monoxide in an environment which includes an apparatus emitting carbon monoxide, such as an internal combustion engine. A carbon monoxide sensor measures a concentration of carbon monoxide in the environment and provides an electrical signal to a processor that is representative of the measured concentration of carbon monoxide. The processor determines the concentration of carbon monoxide corresponding to the electrical signal, provides an output signal at or above predetermined carbon monoxide concentration thresholds, calculates an estimated carboxyhemoglobin level for the operator corresponding to the carbon monoxide concentrations calculated over time, and provides an output signal at or above predetermined carboxyhemoglobin thresholds. The signals are then received by one or more devices which provide textual, visual, and/or audible warnings indicating that environmental concentrations of carbon monoxide have caused a predetermined warning threshold to be met or exceeded.

  • Patent number: 5279454
    Abstract: A system for establishing the lateral position of a web without requiring the web path to change direction. The system utilizes a support surface that is curved in its transverse direction concave towards the web, a guide extending longitudinally along the surface, and a roller that is positioned against the support surface so that the web will be urged laterally against the guide and will conform to the curvature of the surface, thereby increasing the lateral column strength of the web.
