Other products are even more portable and flexible. Intoximeters Inc. of St. Louis produces the transistor radio-size Alco-Sensor, which is being used for roadside tests by police in cities like New York. The $390 device gives a digital readout when the suspect breathes into its plastic mouthpiece. In July, Allstate Distributors of Marietta, Ga., introduced a coin-operated tester for use in taverns...
...plane to follow or strict flight instructions. Long-range navigation above clouds or over the sea was an inexact science, and planes often meandered wildly off course. Now most commercial jets on intercontinental flights are equipped with Inertial Navigation Systems, which permit a pilot to get an instantaneous readout of his position with no more than a mile or so of error after a flight of 6,000 miles. Such equipment seldom fails; most transoceanic planes, including Korean Airlines Flight 007, have two systems operating, with a third as a backup...
Finally, after about 10 seconds the patient takes a breath. The functions return to their previous appearances. A television monitor, displaying the darkened bedroom for those outside watching the readout, reveals that the man is once again breathing fairly normally...
...woman's readout is similar to the man's though several of the functions being monitored are different. Whenever she turns over or even moves more than slightly, the readout goes haywire as the connecting wires vibrate. The pens shoot back and forth so quickly that the resulting pattern is almost solid black. This patient can be left alone, for her diagnosis will be determined during the day by reviewing the information on the printout. The lab team will devote most of their attention...
McMahon will spend the rest of the night making sure the patient is still wearing all of the mechanical devices he should be and recording his blood's oxygen saturation reading Displayed on a digital readout, the oxygen saturation measures how efficiently the body is inhaling and distributing oxygen. A normal saturation is around 95 to 97, but this patient's seldom exceeds 80, and drops as low as the low 40s during apnea episodes McMahon noting the reading every few seconds, will mark it in felt-tip pen as the paper rolls along...
