Class 73/64.44 - Vapor-liquid ratio


Subclass of Class 73 - Measuring and testing
Definition: Subject matter wherein the determination is made by measuring
No. of patents: 9
Last issue date: 05/27/2008


NumberTitleIssue Date
7377148Capacitor-based gas detection in an intravenous fluid delivery system
An air or gas bubble detection system detects the presence of liquid in intravenous (IV) tubing. By detecting the presence of liquid rather than gas, false alarms due to micro bubbles or small air gaps between the sensor and the tubing are avoided. ...
