A multiple tone signaling device provides a piezoelectric transducer, first, second and third oscillator circuits, a first input terminal for enabling either or both of the first and second oscillator circuits, circuitry coupling the third oscillator circuit to the first and second oscillator circuits for disabling either the first or second oscillator circuits in response thereto, and a second input terminal coupled to the third oscillator circuit for allowing control of the output of said third oscillator circuit.

A remote alarm system provides a transmitter having an audio frequency signal generator circuit, a modulator circuit forming a current source modulated by the audio frequency signal and a radio frequency oscillator circuit modulated by the current source, and a receiver having a super-regenerative detector, an amplifier connected thereto, a notch filter for selectively filtering the audio frequency signal, an alternating current rectifier for rectifying the audio frequency signal, a delay circuit for delaying activation of an alarm signal until a signal from the rectifier circuit is present for a predetermined amount of time and for determining a period of time for activation of an alarm signal, and an alarm means for generating an alarm signal in response to the output of the delay circuit.

A new colorimeter blood analyzer having a capacity of simultaneously performing a specific blood test and reading the prothrombin time on a separate digital readout device. The program circuit module with appropriate calibration parameters which is self-referencing performs specific tests providing direct display of the desired blood constituent concentration. The analyzer provides an independent prothrombin well having a separate optical source for prothrombin time measurement providing direct display on an independent readout display. The analyzer also has a built-in digital readout quartz crystal timing device which can be operated when prothrombin time analysis is not conducted. The entire analyzer is contained in a compact console which includes controlled incubated storage for blood test samples together with insertion cavities for both constituent concentration and prothrombin time analysis. The results of each analysis are so normalized by the blood analyzer that a numerical readout is presentable on an independent readout device and these results are substantially instantaneously displayed subsequent to initiation of any given test in the analyzer. A control circuit for the tungsten filament lamp used in the chemical analyses increases the useful life of the lamp by limiting the amount of time that the lamp is operated at its highest voltage.
