| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4225290 | Pumping system An improved chromatographic pump control circuit for compensating for pulsation in pump flow over a wide range of flow-rates and pressures and for providing improved protection against pump pressure and motor torque fault conditions. The control circuit i... | 09/30/1980 |
| 4188574 | AC Detector for DC ground faults and high capacitance in high-voltage DC power supplies A ground fault detector for use in combination with a floating secondary circuit of a direct current high voltage power supply comprising a detector circuit for sensing a relatively low electrical impedance. The existence of a low impedance represents a g... | 02/12/1980 |
| 4168955 | Chemical analyzer To transfer fluids between receptacles at controlled times and temperatures for analysis of the fluids, the receptacles are carried by shuttles which are replaceable and movable within the chemical analyzer and have fluids deposited in them automatically ... | 09/25/1979 |
| 4167777 | Switching-mode regulator An alternating current input to direct current output power supply providing a regulated constant voltage output or constant current output and incorporating a switching-mode regulating element. Regulation is primarily obtained by means of a bi-directiona... | 09/11/1979 |
| 4164464 | Sample concentrator To concentrate a material by separating it from a diluting medium, the combination of the material and medium is placed in one of two wells in the bottom of a plastic sample concentrator cell, with each well being closed at its bottom end by a different c... | 08/14/1979 |
| 4159933 | Sample concentrator To concentrate a material by separating it from a diluting medium, the combination of the material and medium is placed in one of two wells in the bottom of a plastic sample concentrator cell, with each well being closed at its bottom end by a different c... | 07/03/1979 |
| 4140396 | Measuring instrument To reduce errors in a measuring instrument caused by temperature effects from changes in the flow rate of fluids passing through the instrument, the flow of heat is adjusted to balance the flow-rate-dependent temperature increases against the flow-rate-de... | 02/20/1979 |
| 4115861 | Chemical analyzer To control a chemical analyzer, a program counter sequentially energizes the row conductors of a bus-bus type program card, with the columns being connected to a command interpreter prearranged to distinguish between commands not requiring a data input an... | 09/19/1978 |
| 4115779 | Automobile trunk antenna mount To electrically and mechanically connect an antenna to an automobile, a trunk-lid antenna mount includes: (1) a conductive pin that is connected to a printed circuit board at one of its ends and is spring loaded against the base of a pivotally mounted rad... | 09/19/1978 |
| 4099921 | Chemical analyzer To transfer fluids between receptacles at controlled times and temperatures for analysis of the fluids, the receptacles are carried by shuttles which are replaceable and movable within the chemical analyzer and have fluids deposited in them automatically ... | 07/11/1978 |
| 4073182 | Temperature compensated optical measuring instruments To reduce errors in a measuring instrument caused by temperature effects from changes in the flow rate of fluids passing through the instrument, the flow of heat is adjusted to balance the flow-rate-dependent temperature increases against the flow-rate-de... | 02/14/1978 |
| 4072052 | Flow proportioner An apparatus is disclosed for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid or the volume of the fluid flowing past a point. The apparatus includes a first transducer device for measuring a fluid level upstream of a weir and a second transducer device for sensing... | 02/07/1978 |
| 3989948 | Dual beam optical system To compensate for variations in the intensity of light emitted from different locations within a lamp or in different directions from the lamp, a flat, thin, radiating member is positioned to receive intense light from the lamp and to radiate two divergen... | 11/02/1976 |
| 3967492 | Heat of interaction detector To reduce the sensitivity of a heat of adsorption detector to changes in the flow rate of the carrier solvent upon a reference thermistor and a measuring thermistor, the flow of heat is adjusted to balance the flow-rate-dependent temperature increases aga... | 07/06/1976 |
| 3954009 | Flow meter To measure the volume of fluid that has flowed past a point and to actuate a sampler at certain increments of this volume, a stylus of a flow meter moves to a distance from the center of rotation of a rotating function disc, which distance is related to t... | 05/04/1976 |
