20130294941 | OPTICAL DETECTION OF MEDICAL PUMP ROTOR POSITION - Rotation of a rotatable assembly of a medical pumping apparatus such as a pump rotor of a rotary peristaltic pump is monitored via electromagnetic radiation (e.g., infrared radiation). The rotatable assembly is formed such that it has portions that are reflective and non-reflective with respect to the electromagnetic radiation. A electromagnetic radiation emitter-detector pair is positioned such that as the rotatable assembly rotates, the reflective and non-reflective portions alternately pass through the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter. The detector receives electromagnetic radiation reflected by the reflective portions, but the non-reflective portions absorb or disperse the radiation such that it is not received by the detector. An output circuit provides a signal indicating the position of the rotatable assembly as a function of the electromagnetic radiation received by the detector. | 11-07-2013 |

20110265320 | Electronic Thermometer with Flex Circuit Location - A method of making a probe for an electronic thermometer includes positioning a flex circuit together with a probe shaft. Connecting a locating member to the probe shaft. The locating member comprises a resilient locator that is resiliently deformed by engagement with the flex circuit thereby to bias the flex circuit to a selected position. The biasing of the flex circuit by the resilient locator is independent of movement of the probe shaft. | 11-03-2011 |

20100124288 | DETECTION OF OUTBOUND MESSAGE SIGNALS IN A POWER LINE TWO-WAY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - Improvements in the detection of TWACS outbound message signals. A first improvement involves matching some (or all) of the intermediate points in an outbound preamble occurring between bits of the preamble currently being detected. This reduces the possibility of a false synchronization and therefore decreases the probability of missing outbound message signals. A second improvement is to require some or all of the known preamble bits to exceed a predetermined threshold where both the thresh-old and which bits are adjustable. An additional approach is using 4-8 additional buffers in a transponder to detect preamble patterns in the outbound message. Each half cycle of the outbound message waveform requires entering a bit only into the buffers active for the particular frame of reference in which the message is being transmitted, since only buffers for that frame of reference are employed. The process continues until all bits specified to be sent, based on the length of the outbound message, are extracted. A CRC is then performed for the message. Using this method eliminates the problem of inbound messages being detected as outbound messages, and the resulting “blindness” of the transponder. It further makes the transponders less sensitive to noise which currently causes the transponder to detect a preamble when there is none, resulting in a valid outbound message being missed. | 05-20-2010 |
