A continuous-flow, variable mixing valve for perfusion experiments.

Abstract

The device described here continuously mixes two solutions in any required ratio and has been used at flow rates of 6 ml/min in tissue perfusion experiments. Its low-cost construction consists of a three-way miniature solenoid valve driven by a simple electronic circuit. Mixing is stable, reproducible and accurate to +/- 1% of dial setting.

Pupillometer for clinical applications using dual 256-element linear CCD arrays.

A new pupillometer for measuring the size of the pupil of the human eye is described. It uses two inexpensive 256-element charge coupled device (CCD) arrays in an orthogonal configuration. The system is controlled and data are analysed by means of a Z80A microcomputer. Software allows the position and diameter of the pupil to be displayed on a monochrome video monitor. Infra-red diodes irradiate the eye so that measurements can be made in darkness. The accuracy is better than +/- 0.1 mm, over the range 3.2-9.5 mm. Dynamic measurements of the pupil light reflex response can be made with sampling periods as short as 20 ms.
