摘要:
A small, lightweight, disposable blood flow monitor adhered directly to the skin of a patient above the vessel being monitored, such as an artery. A transducer generates an electric signal representative of a deflection of a vessel wall due to pulsatile pressure, which deflection is enhanced by a thin conductive substrate providing a mechanical advantage for the detected deflection. Control circuitry periodically stores a peak value of a deflection caused by a systolic pulse. A reference value is obtained by pressing a calibrate switch to store a value representing a systolic pulse encountered during a calibration interval. Peak values of systolic pulses are stored at predetermined intervals and compared with the reference value. A simplified display, preferably comprised of LEDs of different colors respectively represent a normal, slightly abnormal and significantly more abnormal conditions. The monitor, once turned on, remains on throughout its useful operating life. The reference value may be selected or reselected at any given time. The monitor may be comprised of custom circuitry or may utilize a microprocessor having a stored operating program.

An intelligent electronic device (IED) for monitoring power quality of electrical services and receiving/transmitting information using a wireless and wired communication protocol is disclosed. The IED may be configured as a terminal or server of a Wi-Fi network, a cellular network, Intranet, LAN, WAN, or the Internet. In one application, these techniques are implemented in IEDs such as portable power quality analyzers.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a humidifying device which can be coupled to a conventional water feed pipe and shower head. The device includes a main body having a flow path, a diverter valve provided within the main body, the valve having at least two flow passageways therethrough, and a spray nozzle capable of being in fluid communication with one of the flow passageways of the diverter valve. The diverter valve can be placed in one of two positions, the position of the valve determining the flow path of water from the feed pipe. In the first position, water flows from the feed pipe, through the main body, and out the shower head. In the second position, the water flows from the feed pipe, through the main body and out the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle is capable of atomizing fluid flowing therefrom, thereby humidifying the air in a space.

An intelligent electronic device (IED) for monitoring/measuring parameters of electrical services to a plurality of loads and receiving/transmitting information over communication networks is disclosed. The electrical services may be connected to the same or different AC services. The IED may be configured as a terminal or a server of an Intranet, LAN, WAN, or the Internet. In one application, these techniques are implemented in IEDs such as digital electrical power and energy meters.

摘要:
An intelligent electronic device (IED) includes a user authentication module configured for authenticating authorized users of the IED and preventing an access by non-authorized personnel to a user-selectable portion of operational features of the IED. In exemplary embodiments, the user authentication module includes a database of information authenticating an authorized user and a sensor acquiring user-identifying information (e.g., a biometric sensor, a reader of magnetic, holographic, RFID, or smart ID cards, or a keypad). In one application, these techniques are implemented in IEDs such as electrical power and energy meters and used to control access to reset, configuration, billing, communication, and data acquisition/processing functions of the meters.
