Abstract: A pneumatic timer has a mark or pointer which is moved as long as the timer is in operation. The timer has a face plate supporting the adjustment knob for a choke and having a window through which the mark or pointer may be seen. The mark is on a support which is moved on the back side of the window by the free end of a bellows.

Abstract: A patient medication use compliance aid which enables the users to readily ascertain the time at which they took a previous dose of medication. A time keeping device is incorporated into a typical container for medicinal products without the need for complicated container construction or complex mechanical parts or expensive electronic circuitry. The time keeping device displays the time and day of the week when the container was last opened by the patient-user and continues to display the same, even after closing of the container, to serve as a reminder. The time keeping device may also be provided with settable alarms to visually or audibly alert the patient as to when the next dose is to be taken.

Abstract: An electronic pace timing device whereby a physically perceptible pace timing signal can be repetitively generated, and whereby the repetition frequency of this pace timing signal can be set into the pace timing device as a numeric value, by actuation of external operating members. No calculations are performed in order to convert the numeric value specifying the repetition frequency of the pace timing signal into an actual pace timing signal, so that the overall circuit configuration can be very simple.

Abstract: A simple mechanically manipulatable two-component interacting device for use as an effective medication time intake reminder having a stationary outer ring component having a circularly running clocklike numerical indicia that are equally interspaced between each succeeding numeral ranging from 1 to 12 is disclosed. The inner rotatory disc has fixed interval spacings between the "LAST DOSE" arrow indicia and the "NEXT DOSE" arrow indicia depending upon the required application such as the time interval called for in the administration of each particular medication. It is also disclosed and preferred that each rotatory disc for each respective time interval application be differently color coded to easily distinguish one from the other.

Abstract: A simple mechanically manipulatable two-component inter-acting device for use as an effective medication-time-intake reminder having an attachable-detachable outer rotatory ring with either a singular or a plurality of outer protrusions for easy clockwise turning purposes in relation to a correspondingly engageable stationary component having a flat circularly running clocklike numeral indicia that are equally interspaced between each succeeding numerals ranging from 1 to 12 is disclosed. Each respective rotatory ring has fixed clockwise spacing interval between the "LAST DOSE" arrow indici a and the "NEXT DOSE" arrow indicia depending upon the required application to accomplish the specific time interval in the administration of each corresponding particular medication. For functional effectivity it is preferred that each kind of rotatory ring for each respective time-interval application be differentially color-coded to easily distinguish one from the others.

Abstract: A disposable timer and product storage condition indicator in which components of a carrier mixture react physically and/or chemically with one or more receptive layers. The carrier mixture and receptive layers are so comprised as to react during a given time interval, the interval being dependent upon and constantly modified by such external physical conditions as temperature, moisture, light, radiation, or pressure. During the timing period the device can either give a changing color display which is matched in rate to the declining freshness of a food or medicine in a container to which the device is attached or can cause the appearance or disappearance of words or symbols or sticky areas or odors. A variety of means for activating the timer are possible.

Abstract: An electronic timer having two electromagnetic relays is disclosed. The two electromagnetic relays are mounted on an insulating base plate. The electronic timer further comprises a delay circuit. At least one of the two electromagnetic relays is connected to an external power supply through the delay circuit. These two electromagnetic relays may be connected in such a manner that when connected with an external power supply, one of them is operated instantaneously while the other is actuated after a delay time, or in such a manner that both of them are simultaneously operated after a predetermined delay time, or in such a manner that they are operated after different delay times.

Abstract: Electronic watch for yacht races capable of being used for effecting a countdown from a warning signal, having sufficient possibilities of control and possessing a clear and easily identifiable display with regard to the time remaining until the starting signal of the race.The watch comprises control means which permit, by means of some of the electronic circuits incorporated in the intergrated circuit of the watch, starting and stopping of the countdown of at least one of the time sequences preceding the start of a race, correcting the display of at least one of the time sequences, and delaying the start of at least one of the time sequences of the watch, the start of the time sequences being announced by signals external to the watch.

Abstract: A time indicator which is substantially unaffected by variations in temperature. The indicator utilizes a silicone oil which is slowly absorbed onto and moves up a porous strip at a rate which is a function of time. One side of the strip is printed with an oil soluble ink, while the other side is unprinted. The printed side of the strip is laminated with polyethylene film to an unprinted strip. As the silicone oil moves up the strip, the oil contacts the ink causing a dye in the ink to migrate from the printed side to the unprinted side, thus providing a measurable color front moving up the strip. The oil is contained in a frangible ampul and a sponge with a small hole at the bottom is situated between the ampul and the strip. The indicator is substantially unaffected by normal variations in temperature and humidity.
