[Linear accelerator of decompression for indirect blood pressure measurement]. / Linearizator dekompressii izmeritelia davleniia krovi kosvennym sposobom.

The paper provides the author's decompression linearizer of indirect blood pressure measuring device which is intended for automatic maintenance of constant decreases of air pressure in the cuff and represents a controlled pneumo-resistance whose values are automatically changed under the action of pressure and air consumption in the meter cuff. The use of the linearizer enhances the accuracy of measurements and their repeatability and significantly reduces the operating time of blood pressure measurements both under routine conditions when blood pressure is measured by the Korotkov method and particularly in the auto mode.

[Equipment for measuring dental bite force (gnathodynamometers]. / Pribory dlia izmereniia sily prikusa zubov (gnatodinamometry).

The authors provide the main technical characteristics of 6 experimental outfits for measuring dental bite. In the outfits, use is made of transducers of different types: capacitive, tensoresistive, fitted with a sensitive element in the form of a beam of equal resistance and converters of varied types. The weight of the outfits is from 10 to 30 g. It is assumed that the industrial manufacture of the most promising models may be commenced after the completion of experimental work.
