    Notes: Abstract PRONAOS is a balloon-borne system dedicated to astronomical observations in the submillimeter range (180µm - 1050µm) based on the use of a 2m Cassegrain telescope. The primary mirror consists of six CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) panels, each being positioned by three actuators. The rotation angles of the panels have been measured in the visible range with the help of a CCD and digital centroiding techniques that were necessary because of the light scattering on the CFRP mirror. The translation movements (along the optical axis) of the panels have been measured with an interference technique in the submillimeter range. Both visible and submillimeter measurements were also necessary to determine the alignment of the telescope - focal instrument system with the star sensor. The whole alignment process leads to a precision of ±8″ for the rotation angles and ±7µm for the translation of each panel, sufficient for a qualification of the system.

    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.
