Abstract: A blood pressure monitoring system that includes a compact housing that contains a pneumatic circuit that is removably attached to an inflatable cuff by a hoseless connector so that the cuff can be inflated and deflated to provide blood pressure readings that are detected by a pressure sensor. A controller is also contained in the housing which controls the circuit activities and records blood pressure related data. The controller is linked via a bidirectional communication system with a processor that is contained in a host station which programs the controller and collects and records blood pressure related data. The communication system also allows the monitoring system to communicate over a wider network with other remote stations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blood pressure monitor for measuring the blood pressure of a person including a blood pressure cuff. The blood pressure monitor also includes an electro-pneumatic package. The electro-pneumatic package includes a pump, a valve, a pressure sensor, and one or more accelerometers. A pneumatic mechanical coupling is configured to pneumatically and mechanically directly couple the blood pressure cuff to the electro-pneumatic package, wherein a signal from the one or more accelerometers configured to indicate an activity level of the person during a blood pressure measurement. A display is configured to display an indication of the activity level. The invention also relates to a blood pressure monitor wherein an electronics circuit is configured to receive the motion signal from the one or more accelerometers during a blood pressure measurement. The invention also relates to a method for detecting a motion artifact in a non-invasive blood pressure measurement.

Abstract: High-performance heat-reflective films having a metallic silver layer bounded by two dielectric layers are disclosed. The thickness of the layers is selected to insure high levels of heat rejection but relatively high levels of light transmission together with a substantial level of color neutrality.

Abstract: Visually transparent, color corrected, infra-red reflecting films are disclosed for solar heat control. The films employ Fabry-Perot sandwich interference filters which are characterized by having three or more transparent layers of sputter-deposited metal such as silver directly contiguous with dielectric spacer layers and optionally boundary layers. Methods for producing these materials by sputtering techniques as well as glazing materials incorporating these films are disclosed, as well.

Abstract: Bronze-grey films for window glazing structures are disclosed. The subject bronze-grey films are characterized by having a layer of reactive-sputtered titanium suboxide of controlled composition between the bronze-grey metal layer and the plastic sheet which makes up the substrate of the film. The process by which these films can be made is also disclosed. These films offer superior resistance to failure by delamination.

Abstract: Apparatus for sputter depositing a layer of metal onto a laterally extended substrate includes a substrate support, a deposition station, a downstream sensing assembly and a computerized controller. The deposition station includes a cathode and anodes extending the width of the substrate. Gas supply is provided to each of a plurality of zones through a common distribution chamber with a plurality of inlets which in combination cover the width of the substrate on which a thin film layer is to be deposited. The gas flow is directed through each anode into the plasma region and is individually controlled for each zone. The downstream sensing assembly includes, for each zone, a four-point contact assembly usign four electrically conductive wheels. Two of the wheels are used to apply current to the thin film and two are used to sense the resistance of it. This information is fed into the computer for use in controlling the gas flow into the deposition station, by zone.

Abstract: A data entry keyboard includes a key array overlying a switching assembly so that a switch is operated when a corresponding key is depressed. The key array is made by forming a transparent plastic sheet into a blank having a number of upwardly extending key projections and having a downwardly extending switch actuating projection adjacent each key projection. Indicia are applied to the underside of the sheet so the indicia are both visible and protected from wear. A back coat overlies the indicia on the underside of the sheet. The blank is cut to remove material surrounding each key and to define an integral hinge permitting deflection of each key and its associated switch actuating projection. The key array is assembled with the switching assembly, and a mask overlies the key array and permits access to individual keys.

Abstract: A fruit analyzer for testing fruit and fruit juice samples to automatically obtain test data relating thereto and for using the test data so obtained to compute and print out characteristic parameters indicating the nature and quality of the fruit tested, including per cent acid and soluble solids content. A computer controlled testing unit has a suspended plummet soluble solids testing means including plummet weight and temperature transducers as well as an acid testing means including liquid weight and PH transducers for automatic titration of the contents thereof. A network of valved conduits deliver and drain juice, rinse solution, and cleaning solution at the appropriate time into and from the soluble solids and acid testing means. A separate network of valved conduits is provided to deliver alkali at the appropriate time to the acid testing means.
