Excerpt from Portable defibrillators rely on reed relays in high-voltage charging circuit Tue, 06/26/2012 - 10:13am by John Beigel, MEDER electronic, www.meder.com
Portable Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are showing up regularly in places where large groups of people congregate, like airports and sports stadiums. This huge increase in the number of portable AEDs has not been driven by governmental regulation, but by the overwhelming evidence that they save lives.
And what helps to keep an AED ready to work reliably the first time, even if it has been sitting for weeks, months, and sometimes years? The hermetically sealed high voltage reed switches, in an epoxy sealed package, offer all the protection needed in difficult environments, such as moving vehicles or moist, dusty, dirty environments.
The rise in portable AEDs
Every year many thousands of peoples’ lives are saved by resuscitation in a hospital environment with a standard defibrillator after their heart stops beating. However, thousands of heart attack deaths occur every day among those unable get to a medical facility in time to be resuscitated. In fact, according to the American Red Cross, as many as 50,000 cardiac arrest fatalities could be prevented each year with the assistance of an AED, because an on-site AED reduces the amount of time necessary to restore normal heart function while waiting for medical assistance.
Figure 1. Portable AEDs are becoming somewhat ubiquitous in places where large numbers of people gather, like airports, due to their ease of use. In response, medical equipment manufacturers have developed portable defibrillators that are being placed in public areas where people are apt to gather. Walk down the halls or aisles of airports, offices, shopping centers, restaurants, casinos, sports stadiums, schools, and health clubs, and you’ll spot the ubiquitous box, just awaiting the time it will be called into action. They also show up in large airplanes, ambulances, medical vehicles of all kinds, and can even be purchased for home use. See Figure 1.
By contrast, standard external types of defibrillators require a trained EMT, or other medically trained person to operate. This person needs to be able to carry out the diagnostics, manually set charge levels, and time the pulse train if additional shocks are necessary. Standard defibrillators are usually much larger than AEDs, and typically found only in hospitals.
The portable battery-powered AED is approximately the size of a textbook. The unit contains two adhesive sensors joined by power lines to the main unit. (See Figure 2). An AED is similar in concept to manual defibrillators found in hospitals, but has been designed for use by people who have never used or operated one before, or never had any medical training. Units are labeled so that they can even be operated by users who can’t read.
Figure 2. In order to make AEDs more easily operable, directions are simple and include straightforward diagrams for those who cannot read.
Once activated, the unit typically verbally walks users through the setup and operational process, providing audio voice commands to guide the user through proper alignment of the sensors, power activation, and shock procedures. AEDs are totally self-diagnostic; once connected to a patient, the AED sensors analyze heart rhythm to determine if a shock is necessary. If the AED detects ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia or a non-beating heart, a high voltage shock is usually initiated.
This shock sends a high voltage and current pulse across the heart to shock the heart back into operation. Sometimes, repeated shocks are required before the heart starts operating again. If repeated shocks are necessary, a charging circuit in the defibrillator is activated to supply the next power burst. This charging circuit needs to be switched in and out in a reliable manner, in a guaranteed fault-free mode, to ensure proper recharging.

Architects; Neylan & Ungless, Ribbon windows on the second floor and enlarged windows on the floor above indicate the units altered by ARU (Florian Beigal and Philip Christou in 1994 here) but there is no sign of continuing work on other units.
These architects produced some of the most original and intelligent housing schemes of 60-70s. Here they wanted to respond more explicitly and formally to the site topography, individual privacy and identification between individual and dwelling, integration of flats with housing, generation of a sense of place and community within a larger urban pattern and pedestrian and visual lines of movements.
The top of south facing sloping site forms the nub of the scheme forming car parking below terraces. This semi circular form acts as a community focus from which the majority of the housing units fan out like fingers. The narrow, blind lanes are punctuated by entrance doors and small kitchen windows to the family courtyard houses and tapering green wedges offer distant views of Essex.
The feeling of being in an ancient hilltop settlement is also reinforced by a strong fortified ring of housing which gave the nickname of 'Kasbah' to the scheme.
Latest fad in Brick Lane?
The queue here was enormous while the similar Bagel/Beigel shops nearby were almost deserted. Guess someone had a great review?

155 Brick Lane, London E1.
What's the difference between this bakery and the one two doors along at 159 Brick Lane?
Some online reviewers claim 155 has a wider range of fillings. Others that 159 has sharper mustard. One wrote that on their visit 155 had tastier beef. Another praised 159's chewier beigels and delicious Challah.
Had we but world enough and time,
to taste them all would be no crime.

Fairmount Bagel, at 74 Avenue Fairmount Ouest, was opened by Isadore Shlafman and his son Jack Schlafman in 1949. One story credits Isadore with baking the first bagel in Montreal as early as 1919 along the Main.
The Montreal bagel, sometimes called a beigel, or in French a beguel, is a distinctive variety of the traditional bread product shaped by hand in a ring from yeasted wheat dough, which is first boiled for a short time in water and then baked. In contrast to the New York-style bagel, it is smaller, sweeter and denser, with a larger hole, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven. It contains malt, egg, and no salt and is boiled in honey-sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven, whose irregular flames give it a dappled light-and-dark surface colour. There are two predominant varieties: black-seed (poppyseed), or white-seed (sesame seed).
For a different version of the origin, see the Chaim (Hyman) Seligman's story.

St. Viateur Bagel Shop, at 263 St. Viateur Ouest, was opened in 1957 by Myer Lewkowicz. Current owner, Joe Morena, with over 45 years of experience in the bagel business, oversees a family business that has grown to include 4 bakeries and 2 Bagel Cafés in Montreal. The landmark bagel shop operates 24/7 and sells over 1,000 dozen bagels a day, each and rolled and baked in a wood-burning oven.

Montreal bagels, like the New York bagel, were brought to North America by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. One story claims the bagel was first baked in Montreal by Chaim (Hyman) Seligman, who sold his bagels on the Main from the back of a horse-drawn carriage. Seligman went in business with two men, Myer Lewkowicz and Jack Shlafman. Seligman and Lewkowicz founded St-Viateur Shop; Shlafman went on to found Fairmount Bagel. Fairmount Bagel’s sign pays homage to Seligman’s practice of stringing bagels together for sale by the dozen.
