  • Patent number: 5030420
    Abstract: Quenching luminescence of the tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) perchorate, immobilized in a silicone rubber by oxygen is shown to be an accurate and precise method for measuring oxygen concentration in solutions and in the gas phase. Quenching can be quantitated by either lifetime or intensity quenching measurements. Strong aqueous acids and bases, complexing agents, oxidants, and reductants do not penetrate the hydrophobic polymer and, therefore, do not affect the response. Gaseous interferents, such as H.sub.2 S, anesthesia gases (e.g. N.sub.2 O, Halothane), and fluorocarbons do not affect the response. Chlorine and especially SO.sub.2 cause strong, but reversible interference presumably because of electron transfer quenching. A system with a response time of less <0.2 s is disclosed, which is adequate for the monitoring of breathing subjects.

  • Patent number: 5010086
    Abstract: 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones having an aryl or heteroaryl group in the 6-position, useful as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, are prepared by reacting a 2-amino-5-(aryl or heteroaryl)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid with diphenylphosphoryl azide. The compounds are of the formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen or lower-alkyl, R.sub.5 is lower-alkyl or fluorinated lower-alkyl, and Ar is 4-or 3-pyridinyl, or N-oxides thereof, or phenyl or substituted phenyl.

  • Patent number: 4689531
    Abstract: Apparatus and method providing electrical regeneration in an electrical vehicle. An electric drive motor drives the vehicle and is powered from a bank of drive battery packs. An electric recharge motor drives a plurality of generators to recharge all of the batteries. The recharge motor is powered from a bank of recharge battery packs. Drive battery packs are paired together with recharge battery packs. A timer switch opens and closes electrical contact between each pair of battery packs and its corresponding electric motor, one pair at a time. Thus, a drive battery pack powers the electric drive motor while a recharge battery pack powers the electric recharge motor. Non-connected battery packs are recharged by the plurality of generators. The timer switch sequentially switches through all pairs of battery packs in such a fashion that each pair of battery packs is recharged for a longer period of time than it is discharged.

  • Patent number: 4584153
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a system for dispensing tacky thermoplastic material such as butyl, and the like, and includes encasing a strip of the tacky material within a thin, non-tacky thermoplastic film capable of fluxing into the material at elevated temperatures wherein the material may be wound upon a spool for transportation and handling, and the material is fed from a spool into mixing and heating apparatus, preferably in the form of an extrusion gun, for application where desired as a bead.

  • Patent number: 4162494
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in air-traffic control are described for maintaining substantial registration alignment between radar video signals and associated computer generated data on a television monitor. It is a requirement of the monitor display that the radar video, such as raw radar, map video, etc., be displayed with a long time constant to show the history of the radar trails. Simultaneously, the associated computer generated data, such as vectors, alpha-numerics, etc., must be displayed properly registered with the radar video on the same monitor with a short time constant. This is necessary to avoid smearing, since the latter data moves on the monitor screen as the radar pattern changes. In accordance with the present invention, the radar and computer data are combined into a single cathode ray tube, photographed by a pair of vidicons having different time lag characteristics, and the images of the latter combined on a television monitor.
