    Notes: Abstract Proposed to both the French and the European Space Agency as one possible small mission, SPICE is a project for a dedicated small satellite for a near-IR spectroscopic all-sky survey. The instrument would cover the spectral range 1.8 - 3.6µm, possibly extended to 1.8 - 7µm, at a resolution of ≈ 100, with pixels of 1 arc-min. The excellent sensitivity (0.02 MJy sr-1) results from: i) the quasi-zero level of background due to the efficient passive cooling of the whole experiment; ii) the use of large format arrays; iii) the non-stop observing mode (drift-scanning). The spectral domain, complementing the one of ISO, partially opaque from the ground, is specially rich in spectral features tracing stars and all components of the Interstellar Medium (molecular, atomic and ionized gas, dust). With a cooling below 80 K of the focal instrument, then it becomes possible to consider doubling the spectral domain and to cover the whole 1.8 - 7µm range.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract EOLE is an apparatus for the automatic control of the O2 and CO2 concentrations in the inspiratory, alveolar or mean expiratory gases in artificially ventilated patients. It is composed of an artificial commercial ventilator controlled by a microcomputer, itself receiving information from the ventilator and from sensors. To obtain CO2, the expired gases are recycled through a bag. The gas composition in O2 and CO2 is controlled by two mixing valves. One commands the influx of pure oxygen, the other the relative proportion of room air and of expired gases from the bag. At each respiratory cycle the two mixing valves are driven by the microcomputer, which executes a nonlinear feedback control algorithm taking into account O2 and CO2 measurements as well as the reference commands. The precision of O2 and CO2 is about 4% and the settling time after the imposition of a new reference command is of the order of 3 min.
    Notes: Résumé EOLE est un système permettant, chez les malades ventilés artificiellement, le contrôle des concentrations gazeuses d'O2 et de CO2 au niveau des gaz inspirés, alvéolaires ou expirés moyens. Le système est formé d'un respirateur piloté par un micro-ordinateur à partir des informations provenant du respirateur et de capteurs. Le CO2 nécessaire est obtenu par recyclage des gaz expirés au travers d'un sac étanche. Deux valves mélangeuses l'une située entre le sac et l'entrée du respirateur, l'autre sur l'arrivée d'oxygène pur, permettent d'obtenir un mélange d'air, de gaz expirés moyens du sac et d'oxygène pur. Le pilotage de ces vannes est effectué, à chaque cycle respiratoire, par le micro-ordinateur au moyen d'un algorithme d'asservissement non linéaire tenant compte des consignes demandées et des mesures effectuées. La précision est de 4% et le temps d'établissement d'une nouvelle consigne de l'ordre de trois minutes.
