Re: Focus on pressure sensor unit, alarm and display
Hi, now I understand what you¡¯re asking, when clinicians talk about it they are always talking about gauge pressure, that is the amount of the pressure that is above atmospheric. Somewhere in your

Re: Focus on pressure sensor unit, alarm and display
Is that measuring absolute pressure (ie relative to a vacuum) ? In physiology we use relative (to atmospheric) pressure (a process to "zero" the sensor is common) [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Focus on pressure sensor unit, alarm and display
I am playing with BMP now... it outputs 101,982.90 which makes sense (30.11 Inch of Mercury). However, 101,982.90 Pascals converted to cmH2O is 1039.936. How that scale fits in the requirement which

Assisted Ventilation
I've made a first pilot effort at adding "assisted ventilation" to my little ventilator at home, with a bit of code added to vent_slice()? (see below) It is pretty crude, but it does indeed initiate

Re: PC & VC with CMV & IMV & CSV in one high-pressure system.
I've seen designs where the O2 and Air valves were each activated for controlled time to mix the gasses. The advantage of the fuel injector is it could be pulsed many times in an inhalation cycle so

I did some research and found out that automotive suppliers actually produce special injectors for engines fueled by natural gas (CNG) or liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Though O2 molecules are smaller

Re: PC & VC with CMV & IMV & CSV in one high-pressure system.
I believe that a differential scheme using the fact that O2 (and O3) absorb significant amount of Far IR energy in the 9 to 10 um (a relatively narrow range) is used in some gas sensors. However, I
