Abstract: There is provided a method of taking pulse oximetry measurements, the method comprising: providing a calibration pulse-oximeter adapted to estimate one or more first, reference SpO2 values from a first, reference PPG signal measured by the pulse-oximeter on a first, reference area of the human body: and, using the same or a different calibration pulse-oximeter, estimating one or more second SpO2 values from a second PPG signal measured by said same or different calibration pulse-oximeter on a second, target area of the human body. At this point, a calibration parameter or calibration function is calculated on the basis of the one or more first, reference SpO2 values and the second SpO2 values. Then, using a measurement pulse-oximeter, a plurality of third SpO2 values is measured from the second PPG signal on the second, target area of the human body and the resulting values are calibrated using said calibration parameter or function.

Abstract: A method for the integration of continuous J shaped spars in extended panels of composite material in which J shaped spars are each arranged on a rectilinear support having at least one right triangle shaped portion, and the spars carried by the respective rectilinear supports are subsequently arranged on a stratified structure carried by a mould. A vacuum bag is created which covers the stratified structure, the rectilinear supports, and the J shaped spars. Holes are created in the vacuum bag at respective connection points made along each rectilinear support. A supporting structure provided with hooking and adjusting elements with the connection points adjusts the position of each hooking and adjusting element with respect to the supporting structure in order to position the rectilinear support in a direction parallel to the vertical so that the position of the end portion of the J shaped spar, with respect to the mould, corresponds to that foreseen by the design.

Abstract: An improved carbon dioxide composite getter having a CO2-permeable envelope containing powders of two active materials (11, 11?, 11?, 12, 12?, 12?) and sealed systems employing such improved carbon dioxide composite getter are described.

Abstract: A getter device containing a combination of getter materials is described. The device has a mixture of cerium oxide, copper oxide and metallic palladium for the removal of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in vacuum applications, particularly suitable to be used in vacuum insulation applications. This combination of getter materials is preferably added to powders of other getter materials such as alkali metals hydroxides and desiccant materials that are effective for maintaining the vacuum in thermal insulation systems.
