Abstract: A data integration system and method collects and stores customer information from disparate information sources in real-time. The stored information can be retrieved and assembled for presentation to a user according to the role and/or security profile of the user. The customer information is presented through a 360° viewer, which is embedded in an application or a browser, or runs as a standalone viewer. A data correlation system and method correlates data records collected from disparate Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications using a three-tier approach comprising deterministic correlation, heuristic correlation and historical correlation. The correlation rules are fully configurable and extensible.

Abstract: In an oxygen concentrator which is intended for aircraft use, a booster compressor is used to increase the pressure of the product gas from the concentrator in order to increase the amount of the gas which can be stored in a plenum. The booster includes two moving pistons which are rigidly linked together and a series of check valves which control the flow of gases through the compressor. One of the pistons is driven by air from the rotary valve in the concentrator, and the other piston compresses the product gas for delivery to the plenum.A small sample of concentrator product gas is monitored by an oxygen sensor for oxygen concentration. Once the oxygen concentration has reached an acceptable level the booster compressor fills the plenum with product gas. Thereafter, if oxygen concentration of product gas delivered to the crew from the concentrator falls below the concentration which is required at a particular altitude, the product gas stored in the plenum is delivered to the crew.

Abstract: A fluidic bridge for determining the partial pressure of a gas has a positive pressure inlet for a reference gas and a sample gas and an ambient pressure outlet. The reference gas and the sample gas pass through a capillary passage and an orifice passage, and the pressure differential between the outlet of the reference capillary passage and the outlet of the sample capillary passage is a function of the density of the gas. A pressure ratio regulator is used to equalize the pressure of the reference gas and the sample gas applied to the inlets of the capillary passages. The length of the capillary passages and the flow characteristics of the orifice passages are adjustable to allow the bridge to be properly calibrated after being assembled.

Abstract: A control system for sequentially communicating a source of pressurized fluid mixture to first and second beds of adsorption material to separate at least one component from the fluid mixture and produce a product fluid. A pressure transducer connected to a supply conduit develops a switching signal corresponding to a predetermined fluid pressure in the fluid mixture communicated to the first and second beds of adsorption material. An electronic controller responds to the switching signal to sequentially develop first and second electrical signals. The electronic controller allows the first and second electrical signals to overlap for a predetermined controlled time period. Valve mechanisms sequentially respond to the first and second electrical signal to prevent communication of the fluid mixture to one of the first and second chambers while allowing communication to the second chamber.

Abstract: A control for regulating the flow of a breathable fluid from a storage container to a recipient as a function of the differential between inhalation and exhalation pressure measured in the nasal cavity.
