A pulse generator for use in a digital/analog converter which generates a pulse train with pulse widths modulated in accordance with an input digital signal. The leading edge of an arbitrary pulse in the pulse train is widened by one half of a clock period and the trailing edge of another pulse is widened by one half of the clock period, in accordance with the input digital signal.

In a pulse generator with a rotor (7) provided with a conductive pattern and fixed contact springs wiping over the pattern, the latter is formed by a central continuous slip ring (15) which is concentric with the drive shaft (3) of the rotor (7) and has inwardly and outwardly projecting teeth (16; 17), the number of internal teeth (16) being equal to the number of external teeth (17), and the internal and external teeth having the same angular spacing (.alpha.). A fixed contact (32) slides on th...

An electromechanical pulse generator includes a toothed disk driven by a rotating shaft to operate two pairs of contacts to generate one pulse output and one direction-of-rotation output. The pulse contacts and the direction-of-rotation contacts operate independently of each other. The toothed disk is rotatable and axially displaceable. The axial displacement is dependent on the direction of rotation via an inclined plane in the form of a screw thread which is rotatable by the rotary shaft. By a...

A pulse motor comprising a rotor having at least two magnetization axes extending parallel to a shaft of the rotor and angularly spaced apart at a uniform interval, the direction of magnetization of each magnetization axis being opposite to that of the adjacent magnetization axis; a pair of upper stators extending above the rotor and defining two upper gaps between them, said upper gaps being adapted to face respective unlike polarity poles on the upper side of the rotor; a pair of lower stators...

The second transistor has its base connected to the collector of the first transistor and its emitter connected to the base of the third transistor. The third transistor has its emitter connected to an output ...

A high-speed pulse detection circuit comprises a Schmitt trigger stage connected to a second stage to form a bistable feedback loop having a working characteristic with an infinite gain loop.

A pulse tool, in particular a pulse nutsetter, has at least one pneumatic drive unit with a drive rotor and a pulse unit driven by the drive unit, wherein a delay-dependent inertial cut-off device is assigned to the drive unit for the interruption of the air feed on acquiring a cut-off pules. A pulse tool of this nature is improved to the effect that it has or facilitates a compact design, a low weight and simultaneously, a fast cut-off by the inertial cut-off device. This is achieved by the ine...

Non-invasive oximetry wherein red and infrared light from light sources energized at different frequencies is applied to arterial blood-containing tissue of a living subject. The red and infrared light coming from this tissue is sensed in order to obtain frequency-muliplexed information as to the absorption of said light by said tissue, the information being processed in order to derive therefrom a measure of percent oxygen saturation of said blood. The processing includes filtering for separati...
