A system and method for monitoring and maintaining a predetermined concentration of material in a fluid body or carrier includes a control arrangement for detecting the transmissivity of a flow cell in each of two states. One of the states during which the flow cell is observed contains substantially no fluid present therein but provides a basis for determining the degree of existence of external factors affecting measurements made via the flow cell. The measurements for one state are subtracted from the measurements for the other in order to determine the transmissivity of the fluid body itself as distinguished from the combination of fluid body and flow cell.

A fully automatic, non-invasive, digitally-controlled blood pressure measuring apparatus is described with LED displays for displaying systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, an inflatable cuff for occluding an artery, a pump for inflating the cuff, a cuff-mounted sensor for detecting Korotkoff sounds, adjustable gain-amplifying apparatus for maintaining linearity of the Korotkoff sound levels over a wide range of human individuals, circuits for automatically determining systolic and diastolic pressure levels and pressure release apparatus for preventing overinflation of the cuff.

A non-photographic, digital laser image recording and reading method and apparatus for recording and reading visual, two-dimensional replicas or representations of objects, pictures, illustrations, computer outputs and the like. A flat-field twin objective is employed to project the image of a laser beam focused to a diffraction limited spot on a radiation sensitive material, e.g., a heat ablatable or vaporizable recording medium to create a two-dimensional ensemble of holes in the recording medium. The recording medium comprises thin metallic films carried on flat substrates which are moving at constant speed or are immovably held while the image of the diffraction limited spot is scanned thereover by angularly deflecting the laser beam entering the twin objective. The visual laser record is an instantaneous replica of an original image or its computer processed binary equivalent.
